Destiny is ashes

Chapter 322 Troubled Spring, the Beginning of a Great Era (13)

Since the first year of Yanping, Beixuanjizhou entered a turbulent spring.

In the north, frost disasters raged. The Chenli Tieli (the self-proclaimed name of the northern barbarians) led hundreds of people to the south, broke through the Qingyu Pass, and set up a grand ceremony to pray for the earth in Yunzhong City of Hanbei Road, awakening the ancient earth spirits that had coexisted with the people of this land for nearly 100,000 years, and had the capital to compete head-on with the Dachenbei Road army.

In the east, the only upper sect of Fuli, Yuanlonghai, was in civil strife. The Lord of Yuanlonghai [Chao Boyang] and his most proud offspring, the young master of Yuanlonghai [Chao Beiyu], fought a great battle in Fulihai, and as a result, Chao Beiyu and his three dragon tribes left Fuli and went deep into the depths of Tianhai.

In the south, many demon holy domains suppressed by Dachen, the pure land of Shangzong, and the remnant of the former Huangming Kingdom, Yuyao Kingdom, are ready to make a move. However, King Zhennanwu of Dachen, the former capital of Huangming Kingdom, and King Chu [Xuan Guangzong], who suppressed Chijiang Yanye, turned a blind eye to all this.

In the west, in the ancient land of the origin, the shattered sky veins shook the heaven and earth, like the sound of a bell from heaven and earth. This most mysterious land of immortals and gods, which had been silent for 300,000 years, seemed to foreshadow the coming of something ancient and glorious.

And in the center of Beixuanjizhou, the best place in Shenjing, a big event also took place.

The daughter of Xuan Guangyun, the former Martial King of the North of Dachen, rebelled against Dachen at an unknown time and for unknown reasons, and fled all the way to the border of Xishan, leading to a confrontation between the two Martial Kings of the Northwest of Dachen and the Five Sects of Chenli.

It is said that there is something strange about King Jing's death. It is normal for Princess Mingjing to betray the country after her father died suddenly and inexplicably.

But according to convention, Dachen shouldn't be so excited.

Some people among the various sects speculated that before King Jing died, he hid the national defense Tianwu 'Nandu Zhusheng' in the earth veins, and the only key to activate it was in the hands of Princess Mingjing, so Dachen was uncharacteristically paying extra attention to this originally ordinary Princess Dixue.

Some people also speculate that King Jing, as the King Wu who was most trusted by the late emperor, was also the core of supporting the current young emperor. Although he seemed to be a loyal minister, he might be a traitor who possessed some clues or power that were unfavorable to the current young emperor and intended to act as regent from afar, so the young emperor designed to force him to death.

Princess Mingjing holds the unknown information, so Dachen is so concerned about this princess who theoretically will never be able to achieve divine treasure after her defection.

Many speculations were rife, but no one doubted that Dachen would be weakened by this.

What a joke! The Chi Lu Dynasty and the Bloodline Imperial Court, with such a system, what if a Zhen Wang died and an Emperor Blood defected? Other sects would be heartbroken for hundreds of years if a true disciple died, but the Dachen Imperial Dynasty had plenty of people. If one died, there would be another to take his place. As long as there were enough people, enough geniuses, and the clan was not extinct, anyone could become a [Chi Lu Tianguan] and [Emperor Blood Wu Wang].

Just as Dachen was engaging in unfriendly negotiations with the five Chenli sects.

At the junction of Chenli and Dachen, another major event occurred.

Within the five sects, two Shenzang Zhenren from the Zuhuan Sect and the Huangyang Sect, due to personal grudges, joined forces with the Western Tour Envoy of the Tianyi Demon Sect and a Shenzang Zhenren from a mysterious force to attack Mingjing Zhenren Ming Guangchen and his apprentice from the Mingjing Sect.

This is not something particularly strange - even if they are allies on the surface, it does not mean that allies cannot launch sneak attacks on each other.

As for the gang fight, it was not worth mentioning. If you win, it means you are well prepared. If you lose... you lose, generally speaking, no one will care about the result after losing.

What was truly shocking was that An Jing, a disciple of Ming Guangchen, actually used his strong body to kill the three martial arts masters who attacked him!

Among them, there is even a master who is the blood-killing body of He Wuchang, the western tour envoy of the Tianyi Divine Sect!
Anyone who hears this will be extremely shocked… Realm, it is precisely because after crossing that stage, the strength of a warrior will undergo earth-shaking changes, so it is commonly agreed to become the current realm, separating warriors of different strengths.

Nei Zhuang Nie Ba Wu Mai? Or three of them? And one of them is the clone of Shen Zang Zhenren? What a joke!
Although An Jing certainly has his own trump cards from his master, as well as geographical advantages, etc., but those are three masters! When they first heard the news, even the old listeners in the restaurant who often listened to the storytellers bragging about each other laughed and shook their heads, saying that this was a good joke.
"So what is the truth?" they asked.

——Is it that one of the martial vein masters from the Mingjing Sect is lurking on the side and launching a surprise attack, or are there internal conflicts among those martial vein masters?
But the truth is even stranger than the story they want to hear.

【Divine Mandate】

The first divine being born in the entire Beixuan Continent, and even in the entire Huaixu Ten Continents, after the last great catastrophe and the new world.

——Inherit the magical powers of the immortals and gods, and carry on the great cause bestowed by heaven. This is the divine destiny.

If it is God's will... then it is only natural to do something beyond common sense, right?

When the divine destiny that had only appeared in myths and legends in the past was born, all the people in Beixuanjizhou slowly realized that the world seemed to be entering the next era, a great era that no one had noticed but would eventually befall everyone.

The "great changes that have not happened in a thousand years" that often appear in the mouths of storytellers... seems to no longer be a joke that makes people laugh, "The big one is coming, it's really coming!"

It's really coming.

Compared to the news of the birth of the Divine Mandate, not many people cared about the sneak attack on Ming Guangchen by the Zuohuan Sect and the Huangyang Sect.

Although Ming Guangchen was accidentally dragged into the chaos of the void and might never return, he was not dead after all, his soul lamp was not extinguished, and his side was the victorious one, so saying more would be a bit too much.

In addition, in Huaixu, due to the law of cause and effect, it is very normal for personal vendettas to be committed. Even folk morality emphasizes the idea of ​​revenge that "the enemy must be avenged if he is victorious". Seizing the opportunity to take revenge is not immoral at all.

That is to say, He Wuchang, the envoy of the Demon Cult to the West, was respected as the True Man Shenzang. First, his Dharma body was defeated by his disciple An Jing, and then he was killed by his master Ming Guangchen after he broke through during the battle. This incident attracted a lot of attention - it is true that such a stepping stone among stepping stones cannot be made up in the story.

In fact, because this experience was such a stepping stone and so legendary, this Western Tour Envoy was written into various vernacular novels by storytellers and sung around, which helped to pass on his reputation after his death.

In short, He Wuchang himself had no objection.

The people of Xishan cheered for the death of He Wuchang. This terrifying ghost-headed blood phoenix was a real man-eating evil ghost, and it was the retribution he deserved to be hit on the head of this divine destiny.

Some people even went to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven with tears in their eyes, thanking God for making the evil cult member die a miserable death, completely ignoring the fact that He Wuchang was also a member of the Tianyi Sect that worshipped the Emperor of Heaven.

It was also thanks to this Western Tour Envoy that the Zuohuan Sect and the Huangyang Sect were able to step down and even said that those real people were bewitched by the evil cult and were willing to apologize.

The reason why the Mingjing Sect is willing to make a lot of noise but do little, and to make a big thing into a small thing, is that the five sects are still joining forces to fight against Dachen, and they cannot have an internal outbreak for the time being.

The second reason... is that some of the top leaders of the Mingjing Sect, namely Patriarch Chengguang and Chen Yinzi, actually know what Mingguangchen had done.

Dachen was right to hold them accountable—they were indeed the ones who did it!
