Chapter 420
"What is Liu Qi's backup plan?" Not only Tai Pan was thinking about this question, but all practitioners in this world were thinking about this question.
However, their answers to this question are completely different from those of Taipan.
"It must be those monsters!" Zhang Baishi said to the Taoist master of Chang'an, "Although the Battle of Wanling Mountain was a complete victory, there were still more than ten monsters who left in a hurry."
"Looking through the entire world, the only place where they can hide is Chang'an City and Weiyang Palace!"
"If more than ten half-immortals of Hedao suddenly rise up, they will definitely have the chance to kill Liu Bi and others in the army."
"At that time, Liu Bi's army would have no leader, so he would naturally defeat him without attacking him!"
"And Liu Qi can take this opportunity to lead the army to fight back, justify the fact that he will gather all the fiefs of the major princes."
Zhang Baishi and Liu Shiji stood on the hills outside Chang'an City, looking at Chang'an City coldly, and the majestic Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City.
"Brother Dao, Chang'an Dao, the reason why he is named Chang'an is to guard Chang'an, not guard this imperial family."
"Those monsters will start to make trouble at that time. Whether it is success or failure, it will not be a good thing for Chang'an."
"Please think twice, brother!"
“So what?”
"Even if those monsters break into the army and kill the thief's heads, they will inevitably fall under the encirclement of the army."
"How else can you harm this Chang'an City?"
"As for their retreat, they are not qualified to harm Chang'an City." Liu Shiji was not shaken at all about Zhang Baishi's earnest words, "What's more, as Brother Zhang said, those monsters, in order to survive, don't even want inheritance."
"How could such an existence who was scared to death and sacrifice his life for the imperial family of this lineage?"
Liu Shiji's words were very disdainful.
For Liu Shiji, even the more than ten Hedao half-immortals of Wanling Mountain hid in Chang'an City, and the threat to Chang'an City was not as great as the Tianshi Mansion. Although there were heavy casualties and injuries in the battle to siege Wanling Mountain, there was an existence in the Tianshi Mansion that almost suppressed the entire Wanling Mountain with his own strength.
With such an existence, even if only Zhang Baishi, the bare Taoist lord, died in the Heavenly Master Mansion, it would be enough for a hundred years before the Heavenly Master Mansion could restore the momentum of the nine major sects and even go to a higher level.
And most importantly, the strength of Wanling Mountain will not be inferior to any of the nine major sects. The strongest man in the Tianshi Mansion can overwhelm the entire Wanling Mountain with his own strength, and he can also overwhelm the entire Chang'an Road with his own strength. Therefore, Liu Shiji will never give Tianshi Mansion any chance to interfere in Chang'an City.
"After that being said, you should also know that Brother Liu Dao, only since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those monsters have always been commendable for Xinnuo."
"If this were not the case, they would not have been able to gain the trust of many princes and monarchs as foreign races."
Faced with Liu Shiji's strict defense, Zhang Baishi was not disappointed, but was slightly happy - "The imperial family of this lineage". These six words are enough to show Liu Shiji, the Taoist master of Chang'an, towards Liu Qi.
And this is enough for Zhang Baishi.
Although the Tianshi Mansion has not ended in this dispute between the empire, it is self-evident which party the Tianshi Mansion supports is self-evident. The purpose of the Tianshi Mansion is to never make peace with the monsters. Anyone who stops them from eliminating the monsters is their enemy. Naturally, as the imperial lineage that depends on Wanling Mountain, it is also an enemy of the Tianshi Mansion.
Now, from Liu Shiji's mouth, he heard that Liu Shiji had a lot of resentment towards Liu Qi, the emperor, and even implicated this imperial family. This is naturally good news for the Tianshi Mansion - even more than Liu Shiji's willingness to cooperate with the Hedao Banxian of the Tianshi Mansion to kill the monsters of Wanling Mountain in the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, it would make Zhang Baishi feel happy.
After all, if we want to completely cut off the inheritance of Wanling Mountain and completely wipe out the demon spirits in this world, in addition to the practitioners who must be united, it is also essential to support the strong support from the human dynasty. On the contrary, if this human dynasty frequently drags the Tianshi Mansion to eliminate monsters, there will inevitably be many demon spirits. With the help of this human dynasty, they will lurk in various parts of the empire...
This is one, and the second is the current Tianshi Mansion. Unless the immortal takes action, how can there be the power to wipe out the more than ten giant-level demon spirits?
If that immortal takes action, it will undoubtedly make the immortal's reputation in the Heavenly Master Mansion, which is even better. This is also something that Zhang Baishi cannot bear. Since the overthrow of Wanling Mountain, in Zhang Baishi's eyes, the immortal has changed from the most important force in the Heavenly Master Mansion to the most vigilant force.
Because Zhang Baishi knew very well the attitude of the immortal towards the Heavenly Master Mansion - this immortal had never thought about whether their Heavenly Master Mansion could continue to pass on the floating world after destroying the demon spirit.
But no one can think about this problem, but Zhang Baishi alone cannot ignore it!
Although the entire Tianshi Mansion was clamoring that as long as he could destroy the monsters between heaven and earth, he would be willing to pay the entire Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Baishi, as the Taoist lord, knew very well that for him, what he had to do was to wipe out the monsters and to continue the inheritance of the Tianshi Mansion. I wonder if it was Zhang Baishi, every Taoist lord in the Tianshi Mansion had such thoughts.
Otherwise, the Hedao half-immortals in the Tianshi Mansion would have long killed Wanling Mountain, so how could they have had a balance for countless years?
"You don't have to worry about this, Brother Zhang." Liu Shiji frowned. He had not noticed that his casual words had already made Zhang Baishi receive a crucial message. Of course, this was also because he did not pay attention to this at all. After all, the moment he saw Zhang Baishi, all his attention fell on the strongest man in the Heavenly Master Mansion behind Zhang Baishi.
"Those monsters, it would be fine if they were honest. If they really dared to be some monsters, even if they were hiding in Weiyang Palace, I, Chang'an, would not sit idly by!"
"Brother Zhang is here just for this?"
"If this is the case, Brother Dao can go back!"
"It's not just this." Zhang Baishi shook his head, and then showed an embarrassing look on his face, "Why don't you know that Brother Liu, may you lend me some of the Tianshi Mansion from the treasury of the sect?"
...
"Why do you have to do this for senior?"
"Since Emperor Gaozu's contract, the imperial family and Wanling Mountain have been watching and helping each other for three thousand years!"
"For three thousand years, the Wanling Mountain lineage has never been defeated by my Liu family."
"I, Liu, will naturally not turn a blind eye to the experience of Wanling Mountain at this time."
"Although the immortals and mortals are two parts, the human dynasty is difficult to interfere with the cultivation school, not everyone can make a fuss about this Weiyang Palace!" In the back hall of Xuanshi Hall, there are countless bookshelves. Among the bookshelf one by one, there were eleven people covered in black robes in front of Liu Qi. Under the black robes, these eleven people had no aura and had never been exposed.
However, the burqa could hide the aura of these eleven people, but could not hide the unparalleled fatigue of these eleven people...
These eleven people are the only eleven remaining Taoist giants in Wanling Mountain - Wanling Mountain has been overthrown. After more than half a year, these eleven people have been wandering and sneaking into Chang'an City. It is conceivable how much effort they have spent on their way to avoid pursuit!
This is not only due to the pressure from the Heavenly Master Mansion, but from the pressure from the nine major sects. After the overthrow of Wanling Mountain, no one can guarantee the attitude of other sects towards them, such demon spirits. Therefore, these eleven Hedao Half Immortals have been around, but no one dared to expose the slightest bit of their aura on their bodies, for fear that it will attract Hedao Half Immortals from other sects...
Mr. Bai's life helped them get the opportunity to die for no reason.
"Perhaps so before."
"But now, the situation has changed!" Liu Qi's words had just finished speaking, and some of the eleven people took off the burqa and looked at Liu Qi.
The one who made a sound was A Xiu. The eleven remaining half-immortals of Hedao were led by A Xiu.
"Your Majesty, how much does it cost to overthrow my Wanling Mountain?"
"It's just one person!" Before Liu Qi could respond, A Xiu said to himself.
"However, before this man took action, the person who besieged me Wanling Mountain had already lost five or sixteen!" - A Xiu naturally didn't say this sentence.
"Just one person?"
"How is this possible!" Liu Qi said in a lost voice. His calm face showed an extremely shocked look for the first time in history.
"Not to mention anything else, in this world, the practitioners of that sect are confident that they can defeat Mr. Bai?"
"How could there be such an existence in the Heavenly Master Mansion?" Liu Qi frowned. Since taking over the empire, Liu Qi had not encountered anything beyond his control for a long time. There is no doubt that A Xiu's words were completely beyond Liu Qi's control!
Being able to overthrow the entire Wanling Mountain with one's own strength means that the man has enough ability to threaten the Chang'an City and enough ability to pose a fatal threat to him, the emperor and every generation of emperors after him under the protection of the capital of Chang'an City, the Chang'an Road, the Chixiao Sword and the Heshi Bi!
Life and death are at the hands of others - this is something that no emperor can tolerate, this is their absolute reverse scale!
"So, Your Majesty now has no time!" Looking at Liu Qi's face, A Xiu said slowly.
"You must rectify the affairs of the empire and settle the major princes before you can take out your energy."
"The Chixiao Sword is the sword of the world. Only when the world is stable and the people respect each other, can the power of the Chixiao Sword be called to the Heavenly Master Mansion to have some jealousy and check and balance it with each other."
"What do you want me to pay for?" Liu Qi lowered his eyes and glanced at the long sword hanging around his waist.
From the long sword, he seemed to feel a ray of urgency.
"Nothing is needed!" Ah Xiu said, "Just as your Majesty, you said before, Wanling Mountain and the imperial family have been guarding each other for three thousand years."
"Although Wanling Mountain has been overturned, the inheritance of Wanling Mountain is still there, and the agreement between Wanling Mountain and the imperial family line is still there!" A Xiu also lowered his eyes and looked at the long sword on Liu Qi's waist. "According to the agreement between Wanling Mountain and the imperial family line, when the inheritance of the throne is threatened, the Wanling Mountain line must take action without reservation to ensure that the throne changes in the imperial family line!"
"Similarly, when Wanling Mountain is in danger of overturning, the imperial family will do their best to retain a thread of fire for Wanling Mountain." Liu Qi also stroked the long sword on his waist and said seriously.
This is the contract that Emperor Gaozu held the Chixiao Sword and under the witness of the Chixiao Sword, Mr. Bai, who transformed into the White Snake, made in that contract. If even Wanling Mountain is overturned, it means that Wanling Mountain has become the common enemy of all practitioners in this world. Therefore, at that time, what the imperial family needs to do is not to re-continue the inheritance for Wanling Mountain. What they have to do needs to quietly leave the last fire for Wanling Mountain. That's all. For this agreement, Wanling Mountain has to pay to ensure the stable inheritance of the imperial family!
Now, the eleven Hedao Half Immortals in Wanling Mountain have not yet completed the contract, so Liu Qi must respond to this contract. Otherwise, the Chixiao Sword on his waist will leave him. By that time, the inheritance of the throne will really have no connection with the imperial family.
"Since that's the case, then your Majesty, I'll go!" Seeing Liu Qi responding to the appointment of that year in front of Chi Xiao Jian, A Xiu also put on his burqa again and slowly retreated into the darkness covered by rows of bookshelfs. The remaining ten half-immortals of Hedao were also the same.
When the hall became silent again, Liu Qi turned around and entered the Xuanshi Hall again.
The situation has begun to exceed his control, so all he can do is to regain the situation before it exceeds control.
"Is there an existence above the Hedao Half Immortal?"
"I want to see if you dare to interfere in this battle of national fortune!" Liu Qi's eyes suddenly became cold.
"Come on, tell him, you might as well move a little bigger!"
"Is there an existence above the Hedao Half Immortal?"
"I want to see if you dare to interfere in this battle of national fortune!" Liu Qi's eyes suddenly became cold.
