“Zhang Ying? Dear customer, which Zhang Ying are you referring to?” The waiter went up and smiled eagerly.
The newcomer was a man in a blue robe. He carried something similar to a long staff on his back that was wrapped in a white cloth. He looked to be in his early fifties and his sharp eyes looked straight at the waiter, causing the latter’s heart to turn cold.
Not a kind person!
The waiter maintained a smile and his posture was very low.
The blue-robed man snorted and said, “Stop pretending. I know that this inn was built at the expense of the branch head of the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Ying. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him and that I will not mistreat him.”
When Xiao Buku heard this, he could not help but widen his eyes.
Then, his eyes dimmed again.
When the waiter saw that the other party really knew that if he were to fool him again, blood would probably splatter all over the Resting Heart Inn, he immediately restrained his smile and said, “Then you will have to wait for a period of time. Are you willing to stay in the guest room?”
The blue-robed man took out a purse and threw it on the counter. Then, he raised his hand and motioned for the waiter to lead the way.
When he saw the money, the waiter immediately beamed with joy and nodded as he led the way.
The shopkeeper began to count the money in the purse, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
Year 8 of the Taihe Era, late February.
When Zhang Ying arrived at the Resting Heart Inn, the waiter immediately came to him and brought him upstairs without disturbing the other guests.
Xiao Buku, who was wiping the table, sighed and continued.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, in a guest room.
Zhang Ying’s expression was solemn. He put down his cup and asked, “Is that true?”
The blue-robed man sat opposite him and said, “Yes, I will wait for you here. Tell the Dao Ancestor my conditions. If you are dissatisfied, we can talk about it later.”
Zhang Ying hesitated.
The blue-robed man added, “The Dao Ancestor’s feat of shooting down suns is famous throughout the world and will certainly offend demons. Instead of bearing the price alone, why doesn’t he just join Guangtian? Guangtian can even accept Great Jing and retain the emperor system. Great Jing can just pay the tribute on time.”
He paused for a moment and said, “Guangtian is led by a War God from the Sacred Dynasty. It is the last hope of the human race. When the demons attack, the one with the strongest foundation will be Guangtian.” “Alright, I’ll ask the Dao Ancestor.”
Zhang Ying stood up, cupped his hands, and quickly left.
The blue-robed man breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the horizon and muttered, “Dao Ancestor, don’t disappoint me. The human race needs you.”
In mid-October, the sky was high and the air was refreshing.
Jiang Changsheng frowned.
He did the math again. The strongest demon beast in the sea near the Dragon Vein Continent was worth 13 million incense points, and the strongest demon beast within the system’s range was worth 111 million incense points.
Compared to a year ago, the net worth of the strongest demon beast within the system’s range had increased by 10 million incense points while that hundred million incense points demon beast was still there.
In other words, two terrifying demon beasts worth more than a hundred million gold coins had appeared in the past two years!
Even though the detection range of the system had been increasing, it was very likely that the other party was coming for him.
This was not a good thing.
The value of Jiang Changsheng’s net worth had only reached 90 million incense points, which made him feel as if he had returned to when he was young and faced the Mahayana Dragon Tower.
It was very oppressive!
Right now, Jiang Changsheng could only pray that they would arrive as late as possible.
Even though the Sun Shooting incident had brought about a surge in incense points, it had also made him the target of public criticism. This was the result of standing out.
Jiang Changsheng did not regret it. It was useless to regret it. He might as well look forward.
On this day, Zhang Ying came to visit.
As usual, he bowed to everyone before explaining his intentions to Jiang Changsheng.
When he heard that a War God of the Sacred Dynasty had established a dynasty named Guangtian, inviting all the experts in the world to join and reunite the human race, Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows and was secretly unhappy.
To put it nicely, didn’t he just want to dominate?
If that person really wanted to unite the human race, why didn’t the War God step forward and face the Sky Crow Clan?
As long as Guangtian destroyed the Sky Crow Clan, their reputation would soar. Would they still have to worry about not having experts gathering?
Ji Wujun frowned and said, “Guangtian, I didn’t expect Lin Hongchen to be unable to restrain himself.’
Ye Xun asked curiously, “Is Lin Hongchen a War God of the Sacred Dynasty? What realm is he in?”
Ji Wujun answered, “He is one of the three highest-ranked War Gods of the Sacred Dynasty. He has surpassed the Nine Grotto-heaven realm and reached the Martial King Realm. He once mentioned that he wanted to create a sect called Guangtian. I didn’t expect that Guangtian would become a Luck Dynasty. Hmph, he’s really shameless and insulted the title of War God.”
“There are dozens of War Gods in the Sacred Dynasty. Even though the three highest-ranked War Gods are not necessarily the strongest, they represent the dignity of the Sacred Dynasty. The other two War Gods have died in battle and disappeared. Only Lin Hongchen did not fight. Now, he’s jumping out with a strong sense of righteousness. What a jerk!”
The more she scolded him, the more indignant she felt. Other than scolding the demons, Lin Hongchen was the first person to make her lose her composure.
Jiang Changsheng silently calculated how powerful Lin Hongchen was.
120 million incense points!
It turned out that he was the expert from the Sacred Dynasty that he had calculated previously.
But why did Ji Wujun say that he was not necessarily the strongest? Could it be that some War Gods were not within the detection range of the system?
Jiang Changsheng could not understand and tried to calculate how powerful Guangtian was.
[Requires 1,029,056,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
Good lord!
A billion incense points! So terrifying?
Jiang Changsheng was frightened. In an instant, he had the urge to join Guangtian.
However, on second thought, Guangtian would definitely become a thorn in the demons’ side and was not an organization that could be easily joined. Furthermore, Lin Hongchen would never take care of him for nothing. He did not want to act as a laborer and fight every day.
Zhang Ying had always been curious about Ji Wujun’s identity. Now that he heard that she knew Guangtian very well, he could not help but ask, “Senior, may I ask how you know so much about the Sacred Dynasty?”
Ji Wujun calmed his anger and said, “You don’t need to know. You just need to know that Lin Hongchen is not a Saint Lord. He can abandon the Sacred
Dynasty and Guangtian.”
Jiang Changsheng asked, “If Lin Hongchen is so shameless, how could he establish Guangtian?”
Ji Wujun said, “Lin Hongchen is licentious by nature and has countless women. Wherever he goes, he will leave behind many descendants. After so many years of accumulation, he has countless children. Coupled with his extraordinary physique, the talent of his descendants will not be bad. In hundreds of years, they will certainly grow up. I suspect that he was the one who gathered his children and founded Guangtian. Of course, although he is shameless, he is indeed very good at making friends. If he recruits his own good friends, Guangtian should not be weak.”
Bai Qi teased, “Since you’re so angry, could it be…”
Ji Wujun coldly glanced at her and said, “Although Lin Hongchen is shameless, he does not dare to touch me. He can’t wait to avoid the luck of the Ji Family. Moreover, I have trained in martial arts my entire life and have never had an affair with a man. There is no man in the world that can move my heart.” For some reason, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Zhang Ying and said, “Go back and reject him. You can be more tactful. Tell him that since I have destroyed the Sky Crow Clan, I am afraid that the demons would take revenge so I don’t dare to leave Great Jing. I believe they would not dare to force me.”
Zhang Ying nodded but hesitated. “Dao Ancestor, I’m afraid…’
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and a Golden-scaled Jade Leaf flew out from his sleeve. He flew to Zhang Ying and said, “Take it. It can save your life.”
Zhang Ying was also his believer, and he also had enough faith in him to activate the Inviting God with Incense function. Coupled with the fact that the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce had been of great help to Great Jing all these years, he was willing to support Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying was excited. He hastily put away the Golden-scaled Jade Leaf and expressed his thanks.
After he left, Ji Wujun praised, “Dao Ancestor, you are wise. Joining Lin Hongchen is undoubtedly asking a tiger for its skin. Who knows, you might be sold by him one day.”
Jiang Changsheng did not reply. He closed his eyes and cultivated, preparing to welcome those two existences with a net worth of more than 100 million incense points.
Other than those two, there were also the seven resurrected Demon Saints. Even though the Nine Absolute Flood Dragon Saint might not hate him, it meant that the dark years of the ocean dynasties were coming.
Under the moonlight, a white-robed man sat by the cliff and looked at the bright moon. No one knew what he was thinking.
The masked man appeared behind him out of thin air and half-knelt. “My Lord, the one who shot down the suns was indeed the Dao Ancestor. My subordinates have also detected two great demons heading towards the Dragon Vein Continent. In addition, the Guangtian War God founded a Luck Dynasty and accepted many Luck Dynasties.”
Hearing this, the white-robed man frowned and said, “Guangtian? I see. What a joke. It seems like His Majesty’s prediction was right. Lin Hongchen already had the intention to rebel. Speaking of which, back then, His Majesty asked him to eliminate the demons and smother their influence. It was this fellow’s negligence that allowed the demons’ influence to grow. If not for his high status and huge roots, His Majesty would have demoted him long ago. Unfortunately, before he was brought down, the supreme demon appeared out of nowhere.’
The masked man was silent for a moment before he said, “The prime minister of Guangtian wants to recruit the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor’s act of killing the Sky Crows will definitely cause trouble for him. He might join
Guangtian and seek refuge.”
The white-robed man stood up and said, “In that case, I will have to reevaluate the Dao Ancestor. Perhaps he is not the fated Martial Emperor.”
The masked man looked up and asked, “My lord, is it impossible for the
Guangtian Dynasty to be the next Sacred Dynasty?”
He had learned about Guangtian and its influence was extremely shocking.
“The Emperor has calculated, and so has the Island Master of Martial Emperor Island. The fated Martial Emperor will rise after the start of the calamity. In other words, the existence that rose before that would not be Martial Emperor. Be it strength or fame, Lin Hongchen did not rise these past few years.”
The white-robed man said calmly.
The masked man was silent.
The white-robed man turned around and asked, “How is he?”
The masked man answered, “He has found a Demon Saint’s corpse. My subordinates do not dare to get closer rashly. He does not seem to want us to know what he is doing.”
The white-robed man frowned. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Other than him, continue to pay attention to the Dao Ancestor. If he rejects
Guangtian, bring him the Heaven Entrance of the Sacred Dynasty.”
Hearing this, the masked man suddenly raised his head and his pupils dilated. He asked in a trembling voice, “My Lord, are you betting on Great Jing? I’m afraid… Great Jing is not the luck of the Dao Ancestor. I have observed it before. Great Jing’s luck is weak and it is not even in the top 100 of the Oceanic Luck
Dynasties. How could it become a Sacred Dynasty?”
The white-robed man’s eyes flickered. “It’s precisely because Great Jing is weak that we have to help it. Isn’t Wujun also in Great Jing? This is also her choice.”
“Alright, there’s no need to say anything else. Do as I say!”
The white-robed man waved his sleeve and said in an irrefutable tone.
The masked man hesitated for a moment before he accepted the order and left..
