Chapter 854: Liang Kingdom exchanges for Jiang Kingdom, the Star King’s ominous premonition!
No matter how powerful True Lord Juejian is, he is still a Nascent Soul cultivator who stands at the top of the world of immortal cultivation.
Even though he was shocked inside, his face still maintained his usual cold and dignified expression.
He stared at the Pinghai Halberd and Jiaolong Spear in front of him and said in a deep voice: "City Lord Wang, is this the life treasure of the Yuanying Zhenjun of the Seven Zhenhai Sects?"
"Yes, these two life treasures came from Zhenjun Pinghai and Zhenjun Fuhai of the Seven Sea Sects. As for Zhenjun Tunhai, his life treasure was destroyed in the battle."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and nodded.
Knowing that Master Juejian still had doubts in his heart, he waved his hand lightly.
"Daoyou can take a closer look."
The Pinghai Halberd and the Jiaolong Spear flew directly in front of Master Juejian, allowing him to examine them carefully.
When Master Juejian saw that Lu Changsheng was so generous in giving him two spiritual treasures, he was slightly surprised.
This shows that he is not worried at all about running away with the treasure.
Although this kind of innate spiritual treasure cannot exert its power unless one practices the same inherited martial arts technique.
But the materials of any natal spiritual treasure are extremely rare.
Can be decomposed, smelted, cast, and upgraded to other spiritual treasures!
True Lord Juejian felt Lu Changsheng's confidence and courage from this effortless action.
A sense of confidence and courage in one's own strength.
If what the other party said was true, these two spiritual treasures were obtained by him from killing two Yuanying Zhenjun, and the natal spiritual treasure of a Yuanying cultivator was destroyed, the strength of this Lord of Dameng City is not comparable to that of an ordinary veteran Yuanying cultivator, such as his own senior brother.
But he is a giant in the middle stage of Nascent Soul!
"Thank you, City Lord."
True Lord Juejian clasped his fists in thanks with a serious expression, then took the two spiritual treasures and examined them carefully.
The natal spiritual treasure is like a cultivator's second life.
Except for oddities like Lu Changsheng, in most cases, the strength of the owner can be judged most intuitively through the interwoven patterns of magic power, Taoism and principles on the natal magic treasure.
Through the Pinghai Halberd and the Jiaolong Spear, Master Juejian clearly realized that Lu Changsheng was not trying to scare him.
These are two Nascent Soul cultivators’ natal spiritual treasures!
Moreover, the owner of this trident is definitely not weaker than himself.
Even better.
Although the Sea-Covering Dragon Spear was damaged, it was difficult to analyze the strength of its owner.
But the traces of incompleteness and damage frightened him even more.
After all, in a fight between opponents of the same level, it is difficult to break an innate spiritual treasure into such a damaged state.
Only a giant in the middle stage of Nascent Soul can do it!
Or hold some kind of top-level spiritual treasure!
"City Lord Wang's strength is amazing. Jue Jian admires him."
True Lord Juejian took a deep breath to calm himself down, then returned the two magic treasures to Lu Changsheng and said with a bow.
He completely believed that Lu Changsheng had razed the Yinming Ghost Sect, killed the True Lord Mingsha, and formed an alliance with the Tianshi Sect and the Five Poison Sect.
It is believed that the other party is most likely a giant in the middle stage of Nascent Soul!
He also understood in his heart why only Yangming Zhenren, who had the Jindan cultivation level, could compete with and even suppress Yuanying Zhenjun!
Because the other party is not a Jindan cultivator at all.
It is a Nascent Soul giant who has reincarnated and cultivated again, or has been seriously injured and cultivated again!
As his thoughts turned, a doubt emerged in the mind of Master Juejian.
Why would such a top-level existence live in his own Jiang Kingdom?
You have to know that Jiang Kingdom is just a corner of the southern wilderness, a remote place, how can it accommodate such a giant?
Especially after the other party came to Jiang Kingdom, he has been settling in the third-level spiritual vein area such as Dameng Fairy City.
A giant in the middle stage of Nascent Soul must have at least a fourth-order medium-quality spiritual vein to meet the needs of cultivation.
Even one's own spiritual vein is far from enough.
"Excuse me, Jue Jian, but why has City Lord Wang always been inferior to Jiang State when he is so powerful?"
True Lord Jue Jian asked with a little more respect in his words.
In a previous conversation, he had asked Lu Changsheng a similar question.
Why did he destroy the Yinming Ghost Sect and form an alliance with the Tianshi Sect and the Five Poison Sect?
The other party explained that it was purely about the grudge with Lord Mingsha and to relieve the pressure on the State of Jiang.
Not only did he not believe it then, he doesn't believe it even more now.
I believe that there must be a reason why these top cultivators came to Jiang Kingdom!
Avoid enemies?
True Lord Juejian felt that this possibility was the most likely.
At this moment, he felt that the Lord of the Great Dream City in front of him, Yangming Zhenjun, was a naked disaster star and a star of bad luck.
Not only has he gotten into trouble with True Lord Qingluan for many forces in the Southern Wilderness and Northern Regions as well as terrifying forces such as the Xingxiu Sea and the Seven Zhenhai Sects, but he may also have unknown terrifying enemies!
For forces like those in the Southern Wilderness and Northern Region, his Tianjian Sect could still intervene a little and help resolve them.
But if the Seven Sects of Zhenhai are really as Lu Changsheng said, with seven Nascent Soul True Lords and ancestors in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, then if his Tianjian Sect is not careful, it may be in disaster of being wiped out.
As for the enemy that the other party was avoiding, True Lord Juejian couldn't even imagine it.
After all, to be able to allow such a giant in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to hide in such a remote place, one can imagine how powerful he is, and it is totally beyond the capability of their Tianjian Sect to contend with.
At this moment, Master Juejian had no intention of forming an alliance or currying favor with Lu Changsheng.
I just want to know why the other party came to Jiang State and when he will leave, and never bring disaster to my own Jiang State.
Their Tianjian Sect really couldn't bear it.
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised to see that Master Juejian's words and expression became more respectful.
He thought that he needed to go out and spar with Master Juejian and show some strength before he could convince the other party.
Unexpectedly, just by bringing Lu Lingjing and showing the natal spiritual treasures of Zhenjun Pinghai and Zhenjun Fuhai, the other party believed what he said.
But it’s normal to think about it.
How could an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator have so many life-saving spiritual treasures and two fourth-level spiritual pets?
"Great calamity."
A serious look appeared on Lu Changsheng's face as he uttered two words.
Then he paused, and said with some emotion: "Good fortune and disaster are interdependent, and a great disaster is also a great world."
"A certain family came here for some reason and sensed an opportunity, so they settled in the Great Dream Fairy City to prepare for the catastrophe."
"I invite your clan to form an alliance in the hope that we can work together to deal with future disasters."
Although Lu Changsheng knew about the great catastrophe and the great age, he was not clear about the details.
So it was said very vaguely, leaving it to True Lord Juejian to guess for himself.
"Great Tribulation."
True Lord Jue Jian had a solemn expression on his face and said nothing.
If it were before, when he faced Lu Changsheng and Dameng Fairy City, he would have some thoughts on forming an alliance.
But now there is no thought of forming an alliance.
After all, the so-called alliance is a complete gamble.
Once involved in the other party's dispute, his Tianjian Sect's thousand-year foundation might be destroyed at any time and fall into irretrievable disaster.
But now Lu Changsheng pointed out that he has an opportunity in the Jiang Kingdom area, which means he will not leave in the short term.
True Lord Juejian was having a headache.
If the other party was just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, their Tianjian Sect could still negotiate or force him to leave.
But with a giant in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, two fourth-level spirit pets, and a Taoist companion whose strength is unknown and who is suspected to be a Nascent Soul cultivator, their Tianjian Sect is no match for him at all.
"I wonder if City Lord Wang and True Lord Qingluan have already formed an alliance?"
True Lord Jue Jian pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.
The story of how True Man Yangming and True Lord Qingluan worked together to fight against many Nascent Soul cultivators spread throughout the southern and northern regions.
No one could understand why Yangming Zhenren was willing to help so much.
"good."
Lu Changsheng said without hesitation.
Although he and True Lord Qingluan did not have many private interactions, she was the child's mother after all, so it was no exaggeration to say that they were allies.
However, because True Lord Juejian asked this question, he felt a little embarrassed to ask the other party about the whereabouts of True Lord Qingluan.
True Lord Juejian also wanted to inquire what the opportunity the other party was talking about, and whether it was related to the core opportunity of [Hansha Fantasy Realm].
Where is True Lord Qingluan now?
However, the relationship between the two families had not yet reached this stage when it came to such a secret topic. His expression immediately changed and he said sincerely, "It is an honor for our Tianjian Sect that City Lord Wang is willing to form an alliance with us. However, such an important matter must be decided by my senior brother. I am sorry that I cannot make the decision."
True Lord Juejian directly retracted his previous agreement to form an alliance and cooperate, and prepared to discuss it further.
Lu Changsheng naturally noticed the change in Master Juejian's attitude, which became more respectful and wary, with a sense of distance.
This is normal.
The two sides already lacked trust, and now that they were in such terrible trouble, the Tianjian Sect naturally did not want to be too involved.
He didn't care and said calmly: "I am speaking frankly today only to show that I have no ill will towards your clan and am willing to make friends with you."
"The Liangyue War is not an excuse. It is because the Xingxiu Sea crisis is imminent and we are unable to spare any time."
"Once we resolve the issue of Xingxiu Sea, I will naturally lend a hand. I also have some cooperation and I would like to discuss the transaction with your clan in detail."
Lu Changsheng spoke in a calm tone, without any overbearing intent.
"Cooperation? Deal?"
Lord Juejian frowned slightly, his heart filled with vigilance.
In his opinion, the transaction that Lu Changsheng took the initiative to mention must be related to his family's most core interests.
Lu Changsheng nodded gently and said, "Not only will a certain family help in the Liangyue War, but we are also willing to pacify Liang and give this territory to your clan."
Lu Changsheng has no good feelings towards Liang Kingdom.
If he had not been delayed by the matter of Xingxiu Sea, he would have gone to Liang Country long ago and flattened and destroyed the Beast God Mountain.
In his plan, he intended to turn Jiang State into his own territory.
But Patriarch Lu was unwilling to do anything that would rob people for no reason.
Not to mention that he needs the Tianjian Sect. Yue State is the barrier of Jiang State. Jiang State has only practiced for a hundred years. He will not do anything to take advantage of the Tianjian Sect.
So Lu Changsheng planned to exchange Liang Kingdom with Tianjian Sect.
Compared to Jiang Kingdom, Liang Kingdom is more prosperous and has many fourth-level spiritual veins.
And according to rumors, the spiritual veins of Beast God Mountain are more favorable than those of Tianjian Sect.
"You're going to give Liang Country to your own family!?"
True Lord Jue Jian was shocked, and his alertness reached its peak.
He knows very well that there is no free lunch in the world.
Behind such a generous gift, there must be an even more astonishing demand!
True Lord Jue Jian suppressed his shock and said in a deep voice, "Is City Lord Wang too confident?"
"Liang Country has a profound foundation. Beast God Mountain, the Naked Body Sect, and the Shura Sect all have Yuanying True Lords in charge. The Nine Spirits True Lord of Beast God Mountain is even more powerful. He has a fourth-level beast king spirit pet and is showing signs of breaking through to the middle stage of the Yuanying!"
"And according to information from our Tianjian Sect, the Liang Kingdom started this war, and there may be a dark hand from somewhere else behind it!"
Ayouduo and the Tianshi Sect had vague guesses about the matter of the "Envoy" of the Seven Demonic Sects. How could the Tianjian Sect, as the overlord of the Jiang Kingdom, not know about it?
Over the years, Jiang State and Yue State have been on the passive defensive, not daring to ambush the Yuanying True Lord of Liang State because they were afraid of the other side's mysterious envoy.
Otherwise, the top combat power of Jiang and Yue would not be weaker than that of Liang.
Not to mention those far away, except for True Lord Jiuling of Beast God Mountain, no one in Liang Country can be a match for True Lord Xuanjian, the top swordsman with unparalleled attacking power.
As long as we set up some tactics, lure the enemy out, and kill one or two of them, this war can be stopped early.
"Does this demon envoy have the strength of the late Nascent Soul stage?"
Lu Changsheng looked calm and asked calmly.
"of course not!"
True Lord Jue Jian said immediately: "What kind of existence is a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage? Even if we look at the Southern Wilds, he is a top-level existence. How could he come to such a remote place?"
Not to mention the late Nascent Soul stage, even the probability of becoming a giant in the middle Nascent Soul stage is not high.
After all, Jiang State is not located in a prosperous place, so how could there be so many multi-infant giants?
But it is also possible that this mastermind secretly manipulates wars among multiple countries, so he is extremely powerful.
"In that case, there's nothing to worry about."
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
Then he looked at Master Juejian deeply and said, "I have a way to deal with the old ancestor of Xingxiu Sea, so fellow Daoist Juejian can rest assured about the affairs of Liang Country."
Although this statement may be a bit exaggerated.
But now that we have come this far, how can we back down?
Besides, he had killed Lord Mingsha and seized the [Pool of Ten Thousand Demons Blood]. Sooner or later, he would have to fight against the evil forces behind the Beast God Mountain.
Now that we have reached a cooperation with the Tianjian Sect, we will have more helpers.
"Without a Nascent Soul cultivator, is there nothing to worry about?"
Even the Nascent Soul cultivator, True Lord Juejian, felt his heart tremble when he heard this.
What confidence!
Although he guessed that the Lu Changsheng in front of him was a giant in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Is City Lord Wang really sure?"
True Lord Juejian couldn't help but say that he was very excited about the territory of Liang Kingdom.
After all, the conditions are too tempting!
My senior brother failed in his attempt to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul in his early years.
The spiritual vein environment of Beast God Mountain is better than that of his own Tianjian Sect.
If he could obtain the spiritual vein of Beast God Mountain, his senior brother would have a better chance of reaching the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
In addition, there is also the concept of luck!
The State of Liang was more prosperous and wealthy than the State of Jiang.
If their Tianjian Sect could obtain the territory of Liang Kingdom, not only would they be able to seize more resources, but the fortunes of the Tianjian Sect would also be further improved and prosper.
A strong sect with great fortune is not only beneficial to the disciples in the sect, but also has many benefits for the ancestors of the sect.
Especially for a fortune teller like my senior brother, who can draw on the power of luck, it is easier to break through.
Moreover, True Lord Juejian knew in his heart that his talent and endowment were not as good as his senior brother's, and it would be more difficult for him to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
If the sect is strong, there might be more chances!
"hehe."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Why would I need to lie to you about this matter? Besides, we will know everything after the battle."
"The Lord of the Royal City wants to give the territory of Liang Kingdom to our Tianjian Sect. I wonder what his intention is?"
Master Jue Jian suppressed the emotions on his face and spoke out, wanting to know what Lu Changsheng wanted.
"Jiang Guo."
Lu Changsheng said: "I have heard that I have sensed an opportunity here, so I plan to stay in Jiang Country for a long time."
"And Liang Country will be exchanged with your clan for Jiang Country."
Two sharp sword lights suddenly shot out from Master Juejian's eyes.
Unexpectedly, the Lord of Dameng City was actually targeting his own Jiang Kingdom.
This kind of demand is really shocking!
If someone else dared to say this to him, he would probably attack them directly.
But he was extremely wary of Lu Changsheng in front of him.
But on second thought, since the other party is willing to exchange Liang Country with our country, it is worth it.
Otherwise, why would the other party give Liang Kingdom to us?
"If City Lord Wang can wipe out and pacify Liang Country, this is not impossible."
True Lord Jue Jian said calmly.
The Lord of Dameng City in front of him has already set his eyes on his family.
If he really possesses invincible combat power below the late Nascent Soul stage, enough to pacify the Liang Kingdom, then their Tianjian Sect will not be able to refuse this deal.
If the other party is not strong enough, then it will be just empty talk. His Tianjian Sect will not allow others to bully him.
"Haha, I'm being honest. We can talk about these things after the Liangyue War is resolved."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "So I came to see Fellow Daoist Juejian this time because I want to know the specific situation of the Liangyue War. How long can it last?"
"Hard to say."
True Lord Jue Jian said solemnly: "If we hold on to a stalemate and consume each other, we can still hold on for a long time."
"But apart from the mastermind behind the scenes, the Demonic Emissary, there has been a rising and spreading aura of disaster in Liang Country over the past few years."
"Once this crisis breaks out, I'm afraid it will be disastrous. That's why I have been inviting fellow Taoists to help me, hoping to stop this disaster."
Now facing Lu Changsheng, True Lord Juejian did not hide anything and told him the speculations of the Jiang and Yue countries.
I suspect that Lord Jiuling has broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Or cultivate terrifying creatures such as the fourth-level beast god, Shura evil god, etc.
Either way, it's extremely terrifying.
"The aura of disaster!?"
Lu Changsheng knew that the fact that he was taken so seriously by True Lord Juejian showed that the situation was indeed very serious.
However, the war is changing rapidly, and with the presence of Yuanying Zhenjun, the destiny of heaven is in chaos.
He is now far away in Jiang Country, and it is difficult for him to observe and calculate the evil aura that the other party mentioned.
"Ah."
Lu Changsheng glanced at Lu Lingjing who was feasting beside him, and said, "I understand. If it is really urgent, I will let my wife and pet go to support first to relieve the pressure."
After listening to the words of Master Juejian, he also felt a greater sense of urgency about the Liangyue War.
"."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Juejian was speechless.
I really want to ask, can’t you send your pet first?
But thinking of the Xingxiu Sea and the Seven Sea Sects mentioned by the other party, he could only helplessly clasp his hands and say: "In this case, if there is any change on the front line, I will inform my friends as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Juejian."
Lu Changsheng said with a cupped hand.
After walking out of the Dameng Fairy City, True Lord Juejian looked at the endless blue sea, his heart filled with surging emotions.
There was so much information in today's conversation.
"Alas, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Although he was unwilling to form an alliance with Lu Changsheng in his heart, he thought the risk was too great.
But when faced with the deal between Jiang and Liang, it was difficult to refuse.
After thinking for a moment, he disappeared and rushed back to Tianjian Sect, preparing to pass the news to his senior brother as soon as possible and ask for his opinion.
In addition, I also collected the "Longevity Method of Heaven and Earth" and some secret rumors about the Jiang Kingdom to see if I can find the opportunity that Lu Changsheng mentioned!
After Lu Changsheng brought Lu Lingjing back to the City Lord's Mansion, he narrated his conversation with Juejian Zhenjun to Honglian and Ling Zixiao.
"The Demonic Envoy."
Although Honglian and Ling Zixiao are in charge of the Dameng Fairy City, the intelligence information they have access to does not include any information about the magic world.
Especially when he heard Lu Changsheng say that this demon envoy was most likely from one of the Seven Demon Sects, Ling Zixiao suddenly felt an indescribable worry about this war.
After all, as far as she knew, the Seven Demonic Sects were the most powerful forces in the Southern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world.
It once set off a war between good and evil that almost swept across most of the Southern Wilderness. It was extremely horrific and tragic.
"Honglian, make preparations. If True Lord Juejian comes asking for help again, you should bring Xiaoyan with you to support him."
Lu Changsheng did not let Honglian go immediately. He was preparing for another letter from True Lord Juejian, so he asked Honglian and Qian Zhuyan to go.
After all, he couldn't just watch the Liangyue War collapse.
Especially according to the description of Master Juejian, the current situation in Liang Country is full of abnormalities.
Once the states of Jiang and Yue are defeated, he will only have more headaches if he takes action at that time.
"Okay~" Honglian, wearing a red dress embroidered with Vermillion Bird pattern, looked elegant and graceful, and responded softly.
As in the past, Lu Changsheng should have visited his children in Damengze and checked on the situation of the Lu family members.
But time is running out.
He handed a storage bag of resources to Ling Zixiao and asked her to distribute these resources to the Lu family members here to increase their cultivation speed as much as possible.
Then he continued to focus on drawing the fourth-level talisman.
At the same time, Xingxiu Sea, Zhenhai Sect.
During these days, the Star King would divine and calculate the outcome of this operation every once in a while.
Although the secrets of the "Descendants of the Eastern Emperor" were cut off and could not be calculated.
But he can use himself as a medium to predict the general situation of good or bad luck.
After calculating good and bad luck for so long, he had a vague feeling that his own bad intentions were increasing as time went by.
If it was a minor threat before, it is now gradually improving towards a medium threat.
"No, we can't delay this any longer!"
For Nascent Soul cultivators, a few years does not matter. They should try their best to find out as much intelligence as possible about the "Descendants of the Eastern Emperor" before taking any action.
However, the improvement of the ominous omen gave the Star King a sense of urgency, and he felt that he could not continue to waste time like this.
If we wait for Yue Zun to react, it will be even more troublesome.
Immediately, the Star King found the ancestor Zhenhai and told him his thoughts, wanting to take action against the descendant of Donghuang as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, he would rather give up than take the risk.
"This"
Ancestor Zhenhai had seen Lu Changsheng's fighting ability, so he was very cautious. He was unwilling to take action until he was sure of completely killing him.
But since the Star King is like this, he must consider it carefully.
He immediately asked about his own original self, "Turtle Immortal Ancestor".
"lucky!"
The Turtle Immortal uses his natural talent to predict his own good and bad situations and instantly obtain good omens.
He was not surprised at all.
He is a descendant of a pure-blooded true spirit, and is only half a step away from being promoted to the late fourth stage.
In this situation, with the support of two top-level fighters, the Zhenhai Patriarch and the Star King, how could they be afraid of a "descendant of the East Emperor" who relied on the most precious treasure?
The reason I inquired about the situation was to be on the safe side and to be as foolproof as possible.
By the way, wait for Zhenhai Zhenjun, Lingbo Zhenjun and others to return to the Nascent Soul stage.
Since the Star King has made divinations and deduced that it is not advisable to delay any further, the Turtle Hermit still believes it.
After all, the Star-Moon Palace is the inheritor of the Sun-Moon-Star Palace, and has extraordinary expertise in divination.
Unlike his own bloodline talent, which has limitations.
Soon, the Turtle Immortal Patriarch came out of seclusion to discuss the action with the Zhenhai Patriarch and the Star King.
