My son is about to break through.

No matter whether Gu Qingfeng is a saint or not.

But the battle in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range is enough to explain many things.

"The capital of the Great Emperor!"

"Now it seems that the rumors are true—"

Cangyuan looked emotional.

"There is Gu Qingfeng in Jiuzhou. He has such great fighting power, so he must have some kind of top-notch divine body.

The Taixu Holy Land in the Eastern Region has a Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body, and my Hongchen Immortal Sect has an Innate Thunder God Body.

A divine body like this may not appear even in ten great eras.

Now that the great era of contention has not yet arrived, three top-level divine bodies have emerged in one go, and there may be more divine bodies that have not been excavated in the ancient world."

“It can be seen from this that—”

"This great battle for the throne is definitely not simple!"

Hear the words.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that this great struggle for prosperity is really the beginning of a catastrophe?"

"From the ancient calamity to the present, countless years have passed. It is not surprising that a calamity has really come to this world!"

When Cangyuan said this, his expression became much more serious.

"and--"

"The Taiyi Divine Dynasty of the ancient times has now reappeared, with many evil spirits appearing and a large number of supreme geniuses gathering. The signs of the catastrophe are already obvious!"

When he thought of the existence of the catastrophe, Cangyuan felt heavy in his heart, and even felt a little powerless.

Subsequently.

Cangyuan said again.

"But the catastrophe is not a hopeless situation. It is still possible to survive it."

"Since our Hongchen Immortal Sect was able to survive the ancient calamity, we can also survive this calamity."

"Your trip to Jiuzhou is a chance to make friends with the Gu family's Patriarch. I believe he will be able to play a significant role in the future!"

In Cangyuan's view, making friends with a powerful person who has the potential to become an emperor in the future is a great thing.

A timely help.

It's always better than icing on the cake.

If the Hongchen Immortal Sect wants to do the other party a favor after they have grown up, it will not be that easy.

But it's different now.

The Hongchen Immortal Sect only sent out two semi-saints, which made the other party owe them a favor. It was a sure-win business.

After witnessing Gu Qingfeng's strength, Cangyuan understood that as long as the other party did not die, the Shenwu Dynasty would definitely become a top force.

-

Different from the joy of the Red Dust Immortal Sect.

When the news of the battle in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range came back, Lu Zhen, the Emperor of the Star Dynasty, was furious. His usual demeanor was gone, and his eyes were red as if he was ready to devour someone.

"What are you talking about!! The three great kings lead an army of 50 million and have the Star Emperor Bell in their hands. They can't do anything to the Shenwu Dynasty!!!"

"You dare to misreport the war and cause chaos among the people. You deserve to be killed!"

Lu Zhen looked at the person below, and without waiting for him to beg for mercy, he slapped him on the head.

Followed by.

The brutal force began to search for the other party's soul.

After a while.

Lu Zhen released power from his palm, and the latter's head instantly exploded like a watermelon, with blood splattering all over the court hall.

Upon seeing this, the other ministers all looked frightened and kept silent with their heads down.

Everyone can see that Lu Zhen is very angry. If he does anything that does not satisfy the other party, the consequences will be unpredictable.

At such times.

No one will stand up and bring bad luck to the other party.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, the anger on Lu Zhen's face eased a lot, but his face was still gloomy and cold.

"It seems that I have underestimated the Shenwu Dynasty. Gu Qingfeng's cultivation is comparable to that of a Saint King, and he is suspected to have an imperial weapon in his hands. This kind of power is no longer something that ordinary cultivators can deal with!"

Lu Zhen regrets it now.

If he had known that the Shenwu Dynasty had such strength, he would never have interfered in the affairs of the two forces.

But it's too late to regret now.

The two sides completely broke off relations.

The Star Empire not only lost 50 million troops, but even quasi-imperial soldiers were killed in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range.

Such a blow.

Even with the strong foundation of the Star Dynasty, it was enough to cause serious damage.

and.

more importantly.

The two sides have torn their faces apart and the fight has reached the point of death.

In this situation.

If the Shenwu Dynasty is allowed to continue to grow, it will inevitably become a formidable enemy.

But the problem is.

With the strength shown by Gu Qingfeng, unless the Star Empire uses its ancient heritage at all costs.

otherwise.

No matter how many powerful people you send out, it will only be giving heads to the other side.

Think about this.

Lu Zhen also had a headache.

After a long time.

Lu Zhen said in a cold voice: "Let's put the matter of the Shenwu Dynasty aside for now and wait until the era of great strife arrives. Now we should focus on solving the problems of the Taixuan Dynasty."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really worried that Lu Zhen would fight to the death with the Shenwu Dynasty.

If the Shenwu Dynasty was really just an ordinary dynasty, then that would be fine.

But now the Shenwu Dynasty is obviously very powerful, and if they really fight to the death, it will definitely not be a good thing.

Fortunately.

Lu Zhen was not blinded by anger.

otherwise.

For the Star Empire, these are endless troubles.

at this time.

One of the ministers hesitated and said, "Right now, I am afraid that the Shenwu Dynasty will take advantage of the situation and not show mercy to us. If the Shenwu Dynasty sends troops, how should we respond?"

"Humph, the three million men and women of my Xingchen Empire are no joke. If the Shenwu Dynasty really dares to mobilize troops, I will make them pay the price!"

Lu Zhen's expression was cold, with murderous intent in his eyes.

at this time.

A guard came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy claiming to be from the Shenwu Dynasty, and he is now asking for an audience outside the palace!"

"The envoy of the Shenwu Dynasty!"

When he heard the words "Shenwu Dynasty", the murderous intent in Lu Zhen's eyes became more and more obvious.

"Let him in!"

As Lu Zhen finished speaking, the guard bowed and retreated.

After a while.

The other party led a group of people in from outside the hall.

"Shenwu Emperor Dynasty Nanyue Mountain, meet Emperor Lu!"

Mount Nanyue stood straight, neither kneeling nor bowing, but simply bowed.

Seeing him like this, someone immediately shouted angrily.

"How dare you not kneel before His Majesty!!"

"I am a minister of the Shenwu Dynasty, why should I kneel to the people of the Xingchen Dynasty?"

Nanyueshan glanced at the other person and responded indifferently.

When the former heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and when he was about to continue scolding, Lu Zhen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You are so brave that you dare to come here alone. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to scare the spirits of the soldiers who died in the battle of my Xingchen Empire?"

Lu Zhen looked at Nanyue Mountain in front of him, his face gloomy, his body filled with cold murderous intent, and his words did not seem to be false at all. He really wanted to kill Nanyue Mountain.

Not long ago, the Star Empire faced a major defeat.

For Lu Zhen, seeing the people from the Shenwu Dynasty now, he couldn't help but want to take action.

Although Nanyueshan felt the murderous intent from Lu Zhen, he showed no fear on his face.

"If Emperor Lu wants to kill me, it will be easy."

"But if I die, I can be buried with the generals of the Star Empire. It can be considered a worthy death!"

This statement came out.

Lu Zhen's expression changed slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. Nan came here this time to make a deal with your dynasty. I will exchange the lives of two kings and forty-three generals for a batch of resources."

Nanyueshan did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

his words.

This made Lu Zhen's expression change.

He originally thought that all the generals on this trip were wiped out, but now after hearing what Nanyueshan said, he knew that many people were still alive.

"How are you going to trade?"

"It's very simple. The two great king generals each have 100,000 jin of middle-grade divine blood stones. If they are generals, those in the Dao Palace realm will have 10,000 middle-grade divine blood stones, and those in the Divine Transformation realm will have 100,000 low-grade divine blood stones!"

As soon as Nanyueshan's words came out, the expressions of the officials in the court changed drastically.

The divine blood stone is precious!
One pound of low-grade divine blood stone is equivalent to ten thousand pounds of top-grade spirit stone.

And one pound of medium-grade divine blood stone is equivalent to ten thousand pounds of low-grade divine blood stone.

A top-notch Dao Palace realm technique, in terms of value, is only worth a mere ten thousand medium-grade divine blood stones.

just now.

A general at the Dao Palace level would need 10,000 mid-grade divine blood stones.

Even ordinary generals in the Divine Transformation Realm would offer a price of one hundred thousand low-grade Divine Blood Stones.

To know.

If one hundred thousand jin of inferior divine blood stone were really used for cultivation, it would be enough to produce one or two cultivators at the peak of the divine transformation realm.

The generals in the Divine Transformation Realm mentioned at the entrance of Mount Nanyue are not all at the peak of the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm. Some are even worse, they are only at the fifth or sixth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

but.

Although Nanyue Mountain offered a high price, Lu Zhen had no way to refuse.

Because if he refused, the news would be disheartening if it got out.

and so.

Lu Zhen looked at the other person deeply, and then said in a cold voice.

"No problem, as long as you release the person, I will send the blood stone to the Shenwu Dynasty!"

“Haha, although Nan’s cultivation is low, he is not new to the martial arts world, so Emperor Lu should not talk about these things anymore.

If Emperor Lu is really sincere about the deal, then he should hand over all the divine blood stones to Nan and let Nan take them back to the Shenwu Dynasty.

Within half a month, your dynasty's generals will return to the Xingchen Empire intact!"

Nanyueshan said this and did not wait for Lu Zhen to speak again, and continued speaking.

"This is the bottom line of our Shenwu Dynasty. There is absolutely no possibility of negotiation. If Emperor Lu is unwilling, you can just keep me here.

But my life alone can make 45 generals of your dynasty buried with me, so it can be considered a worthy death!"

silence!

Deathly silence!

Lu Zhen stared at Nanyueshan with his cold eyes, and the latter looked back at him without any sign of retreat.

a long time.

Lu Zhen spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay, I agree to this!"

“The two kings converted 200,000 mid-grade divine blood stones, 17 Dao Palace realm masters’ 170,000 mid-grade divine blood stones, and 26 Divine Transformation realm masters’ mid-grade divine blood stones, which is equivalent to 260 kilograms.

However, Nan has waived the remaining 260 kilograms of mid-grade divine blood stone. Emperor Lu only needs to pay 370,000 kilograms of mid-grade divine blood stone!"

Nanyue Mountain seemed to say this with great pride.

But his words sounded so harsh to Lu Zhen's ears.

The latter's voice was indifferent, without any emotion.

"My Xingchen Empire is not going to lose your 260 kilograms of mid-grade divine blood stone!"

Subsequently.

Lu Zhen ordered his men to go to the national treasury, bring back 370,260 kilograms of divine blood stone, put them into a storage ring, and then handed them over to Nanyueshan.

The latter probed in with his spiritual sense and saw mountains of divine blood stones. The tremendous energy and blood force made him secretly frightened.

More than 300,000 kilograms of medium-grade divine blood stone. This is a truly astronomical figure.

To be honest.

Even Nanyueshan, as the commander of the Sky Patrol Guard, had never seen so many divine blood stones.

If more than 300,000 kilograms of medium-grade divine blood stones were all exchanged for low-grade divine blood stones, that would be a total of more than 3 billion.

after all.

The ratio of the divine blood stone is one to ten thousand.

With such a batch of divine blood stones in hand, the benefits to the Shenwu Dynasty are self-evident.

"Emperor Lu is straightforward, and my Shenwu Dynasty will not break its promise. Just wait until Nan returns to Jiuzhou, and then my Dynasty will release him!"

"Now that I have finished my business here, I will take my leave now!"

After saying this, Nanyueshan bowed and turned to leave.

Looking at his leaving back, Lu Zhen's eyes were filled with murderous intent and he wanted to take action immediately, but he forcibly suppressed this impulse.

after all.

A Nanyue Mountain, with only a few cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm, is certainly not worthy of having a large number of generals of the Star Empire buried with him.

It’s fine for other generals, but the two king generals must be redeemed.

Gu Yan and An You are both geniuses who have the potential to become saints. As long as they wait until the great era of contention arrives, the Xingchen Empire will most likely produce two more saints.

It is certainly not a loss to exchange hundreds of thousands of kilograms of mid-grade divine blood stone for two future saints.

Moreover, the Xingchen Empire paid such a huge price this time to redeem a group of defeated generals, which can also make the ministers return to their hearts. After the news spreads, it can also make the people return to their hearts.

and so.

Lu Zhen could only let Nanyueshan go.

……

the other side.

After leaving the imperial palace of the Xingchen Empire, Nanyueshan went directly to Jiuzhou, not daring to stay for a moment.

no way.

With hundreds of thousands of kilograms of mid-grade divine blood stone on his body, Nanyueshan couldn't help but be nervous.

If the news gets out, no one knows what will happen.

Although in Nanyueshan's view, as long as he is in the territory of the Star Empire, Lu Zhen will not let anything happen to him.

but.

Nanyueshan doesn't want to gamble.

His own life is a small matter, but if it causes the Shenwu Dynasty to lose hundreds of thousands of kilograms of medium-grade divine blood stone, it will be a big matter.

Every quarter of an hour of delay means an extra point of danger.

and so.

Nanyueshan certainly didn't dare to waste time.

However, along the way, Nanyue Mountain did not encounter any danger and returned to the Shenwu Dynasty smoothly. Then, without any rest, he went directly to meet Gu Yang.

"Your Majesty, I, Nanyueshan, greet you!"

"Nanqing, you've worked hard. I wonder how your trip went?"

Gu Yang looked at the Nanyue Mountain in front of him and asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, the latter handed over the storage ring with both hands.

"There are a total of 370,260 kilograms of medium-grade divine blood stones in here. Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Hear the words.

Gu Yang's heart was shocked, and he immediately took the storage ring. Then he probed his spiritual sense into it, and an irrepressible smile appeared on his face.

"Well, with this batch of mid-grade divine blood stones, the strength of our Shenwu Dynasty will be able to be further improved!" (End of this chapter)
