Chapter 292 You are not dead? ! (Subscribe)
"What a troubled time!"

"I didn't expect that big things happened in the Demon Court and the Wei Dynasty in the Tianyuan Continent. First, there was news of a great master fighting in the Shiwan Mountains, then there was a shocking change in the Buddhist sect in the Wei Dynasty, and then there was the Demon Court..."

"Who did it?"

"I heard that it is the same person, a being with a cultivation level that defies the heavens."

"How did you know this? Even Sifanglou has never announced this kind of news to the public. How could a third-rate Jianghu person like you, who is only at the seventh level, know this?"

"My uncle is Jiang Ziqi, the deputy commander of the Black Armor Guard... He is in charge of the Black Armor Guard. What he said himself, how could it be false?"

"You scared me. I thought your uncle was Commander Jiang..."

After a few hours, news had already spread in Kyoto Prefecture.

Because the incident happened outside Beixiong Pass, everything related to the Shiwandashan Mountains concerned the minds of many ministers and nobles in the imperial city and the court. In addition, there was the powerful man who had previously stirred up the Buddhist sect of the Wei Dynasty and the Marquis of Yingwu Chen Yi, so as soon as the news came out, many people were tempted.

Even though the distance was far and the news was fragmentary, there were still many noble families who spread some words and became the talk of the town in Kyoto.

"Ang'er, did you say that Yi'er really went to the Shiwandashan Mountains?"

Jiang Ye didn't pay attention to the discussions in the tavern. As the legitimate son of the deputy commander of the Black Armor Guard, the information he received was far more detailed than the rumors in the market.

But he was still amazed at Chen Yi's appearance outside Beixiong Pass.

After all, that is the Ten Thousand Mountains that all the sects, schools and holy places of the Wei Dynasty are terrified of. It is also a forbidden area for the human race with countless great demon kings.

This forbidden land was turned upside down by Chen Yi, a genius of the same age. It was said that he not only destroyed the plan of "Jijingtian", but also slaughtered several demon tribes, angering the Demon Emperor Fengyue and several big demon kings.

Jiang Ye had never dared to dream of such an amazing feat.

At most, he just thought about making a breakthrough in his cultivation in the future so that he could kill one or two Grandmaster-level demon kings on Mount Taizhou to make a name for himself.

"Hasn't your father already told you?" Xie Dong'an took a sip of wine and looked around calmly, seeming a little absent-minded.

"It's because my father said that that I can't believe it..." Jiang Ye sighed.

"The event is approaching, and my family is putting too much pressure on me. Do you know what orders my father gave me this time?"

"He actually wants me to get into the top ten of the event..."

"That's good." Xie Dong'an said perfunctorily, "With your talent, it's not impossible for you to get into the top ten."

"..." Jiang Ye looked at him and asked helplessly: "Ang'er, what happened to you these days?"

"Ever since the shocking incident at Dakong Temple, when the floating Buddhist disciples began to bloom lotuses step by step, you have become a different person..."

"Have it?"

Xie Dongan glanced at him and knew in his heart that he was right.

To be precise, his mind was affected before the ups and downs of "Dakong Buddha" and the changes in Buddhism, so that the news of the turmoil in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Chen Yi's attack on several big demon kings in the Demon Court, and the upcoming battle at Beixiong Pass did not cause any changes in his emotions.

He was not thinking about anything else but the fact that Chen Yuan was taken away from Tianyuan Continent.

You know, when Chen Yuan visited the Zuo Xiang Mansion, he was also one of the people present, and he knew very well what his grandfather and Chen Yuan discussed.

In fact, if it weren’t for his grandfather, perhaps Chen Yuan would have already gone to Taizhou Mountain via the Beizhili ferry instead of being taken away by “Jijingtian”.

Xie Dongan couldn't imagine what kind of suffering and torture Chen Yuan would encounter after going to Taizhou Mountain in this situation!
If Chen Yuan died in the end...

"Ang'er, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Ye didn't know this and couldn't help asking in confusion:
"Now that it is confirmed that there will be no war at Beixiong Pass, His Majesty and the ministers in the court have already discussed the future arrangements for Buddhism..."

"so what?"

"So, Brother An, your focus now should be on the Wei Dynasty event! That is related to the subsequent selection of the younger generation in the Tianyuan Continent, and it is also related to the support of several ancestors in Taizhou Mountain for geniuses like us!" Jiang Ye said earnestly:
"Ang'er, you are not like me. Your cultivation and talent are far superior to mine. There is a 99% chance that you can enter the top ten of the Tianyuan Continent's geniuses. By then, with the guidance of a few ancestors, your cultivation will definitely be higher."

"You can't let some unfounded things affect your mind."

Hearing this, Xie Dongan lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

After a while, Xie Dongan let out a long sigh, looked at Jiang Ye and said seriously:

“The event and subsequent selections may seem important, but in reality they have almost no impact on the final result.”

He had already made a decision - when Chen Yi returned, he would visit him and explain the matter of Chen Yuan.

He really had no way to rescue Chen Yuan, but Chen Yi definitely could!

"That can't be..."

"Hear me out."

Xie Dongan looked at the noisy Jianghu people around him and said in a low voice: "Regardless of others, Chen Yi must be one of the candidates to participate in the gambling battle with the demon court genius. In other words, we can only fight for the remaining nine places."

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, Brother Yi will definitely be one of the candidates."

And based on his understanding of Chen Yi, and according to what his father and several teachers at the academy said, Chen Yi would be the finale of the gambling fight.

Xie Dongan continued, "In addition to the geniuses from the Wei Dynasty's Taoist sects, academies, and Jianghu families, we also have to face the geniuses from the Western Buddhist Kingdom, the Dongzhou Islands, and the Nanman Sect."

"According to the intelligence collected by the Left Prime Minister's Office, there are at most five vacancies left in our Wei Dynasty, or maybe even only four."

Jiang Ye took a breath: "Four..."

This was rarer than his least optimistic assumptions.

Four.

Even if he took elixirs every day to improve his cultivation, it would be almost impossible for him to squeeze in.

Even if we only count the geniuses from several academies in the Wei Dynasty, he may not be able to rank in the top ten, not to mention the geniuses from several Taoist holy places.

Wuliang Mountain, Taixu Taoist Sect, Yuhua Immortal Sect...especially the geniuses who came from the holy lands of the first two sects, their cultivation and skills are not weak.

"Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid being whipped by my father."

"It's not over yet!" Xie Dong'an glanced at him and sighed, "The gambling fight between the human race and the demon court is of great importance. The demon court will definitely go all out."

“Even if the ancestors of Mount Taizhou tried their best, they still couldn’t guarantee victory in the gambling fight. Once they lost in the gambling fight… no matter if they were human or demon, they would most likely die on the spot!”

Even if the incident with Chen Yuan hadn't happened, Xie Dong'an had little interest in grand events, selections, and gambling.

It's not that he was unwilling to contribute, but he didn't want to die like that... After all, his background and knowledge clearly told him -

As long as he lives long enough, he will make greater contributions to humanity and the Wei Dynasty in the future!
"Then, then An Ge'er, you don't plan to attend the event?" Jiang Ye came to his senses and asked in astonishment, "Will Lord Zuo Xiang and Master agree?"

Xie Dongan shook his head slightly, "I will participate, but I won't expect to get those few places."

"..."

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, then said sadly, "I don't want to think about it anymore. Even without An Ge'er, my cultivation and talent are still far behind."

Xie Dongan glanced at him and said nothing more, which showed that he agreed with his idea.

For a moment, both of them lost interest in conversation.

"Eh? That's Princess Jinyu, the fourteenth princess of our dynasty, right?"

"is her!"

"Why does she look so distraught?"

"You all don't know yet, right? Chen Yuan, who just took over the position of Marquis Jingye, is said to be a spy of the Demon Court!"

"What? Jingye Hou Chen Yuan is secretly colluding with the Demon Court?!" Just then, Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye heard the voice and also saw Wei Jinyu walking past the window.

Jiang Ye looked at her for a moment and said hesitantly, "How does Her Royal Highness feel..."

"It has nothing to do with you or me." Xie Dongan said calmly, waving his hand to close the window, raising his glass and saying:
"After this, you and I just need to work hard on our training."

Jiang Ye nodded, then raised his glass and said, "I'll listen to An Ge'er."

He had also heard about Chen Yuan being taken away from Tianyuan Continent by people from "Jijingtian", but he was not clear about the details.

But he could imagine Wei Jinyu's mood at the moment, and he must be very disappointed.

……

The boundaries of Mount Taizhou are numerous, like the stars in the sky.

Some are hidden within the Taizhou Mountain, making them difficult for others to find, while others are exposed outside, with the entrances simply covered by trees.

Chen Yuan looked around with a cold expression. Apart from the lush forests and rocks, there was nothing. It was not as magical as Gu Ying had described.

Only three days had passed since he was brought to Taizhou Mountain by the "general" for him to adapt to the new environment.

Of course, he didn't have much to adapt to.

In addition to the legendary ancient places such as the "Bridge between Heaven and Earth" and the "River of the Netherworld", the entire Taizhou Mountain stretches across the sky like a pillar.

At first he was very interested in taking a few glances, but after looking at it many times, he felt it was ordinary and no longer paid too much attention to it.

In addition, the "general" had something to deal with and did not tell Gu Ying to take care of it, so Chen Yuan just thought he had arrived at a new sect.

If he had not been curious about the relationship between the "general" and the Taoist priest, he would have already started practicing as usual.

"Are you the new disciple of the 'General'?"

At this time, a crack appeared at the bottom of the trunk of a nearby giant tree, and a man wearing a green mask walked out of it.

He looked at Chen Yuan, and before Chen Yuan could reply, he bowed to Gu Ying and said:
"Yotomu greets Master Gu Ying."

"Well," Gu Ying held his head high and asked, "Is the 'General' back?"

"The 'General' has entered the Little Leiyin Temple through a secret passage and has ordered me to take you and Chen Yuan there."

Gu Ying glanced at Chen Yuan, then waved his hand and said, "Lead the way."

Yi Mu bowed slightly, glanced at Chen Yuan out of the corner of his eye, then turned around and entered the crack under the giant tree.

Gu Ying followed closely behind.

Chen Yuan didn't need to say anything and followed calmly.

Although it was his first time to enter the realm, the whole process was the same as the day when the "general" led him to Taizhou Mountain.

As soon as his body entered the crack, he felt a sense of squeezing all around. After taking two more steps, he suddenly felt clear.

What I saw before me was not a tree hole inside a giant tree, but a new world - like a dense forest in the southern barbarians, surrounded by tall and sturdy trees, vines entwined between them, and muddy swamps.

Chen Yuan looked at it for a few more times, and in a trance he seemed to have arrived in the land of barbarians in the south.

"Follow."

Gu Ying in front noticed Chen Yuan's pause and reminded him without turning his head: "The 'General' doesn't like others wasting their time."

Chen Yuan looked at his and Yi Mu's backs with a slightly complicated expression, "Senior Sister Ling Yinrong..."

With a sigh to himself, he quickened his pace and followed.

The three of them walked for half an incense stick of time before they passed through the dense forest. What came into their sight was a temple covering an area of ​​​​Aurora.

At this point, Chen Yuan realized belatedly that his sword skills were unable to sense things more than ten feet away.

One zhang... Is this the special suppression of this realm, or is this the case in all realms?
Chen Yuan didn't know.

He could only follow Gu Ying and Yi Mu calmly and enter the temple with them.

"The situation of Xiao Leiyin Temple is special. It is not an ordinary realm, but a secret realm of an ancient sacred mountain."

"At first, the 'General' led us to explore for a long time before we completely took control of this temple and transformed it into a base for the 'Pure Land of Bliss'."

Seeing Chen Yuan looking around, Gu Ying started to introduce:

"The reason why the 'general' came here this time is probably because of the ancient Buddha. They will go to another place of residence later."

"Yeah." Chen Yuan nodded.

"Before that, you should think about what to do next."

"Ok?"

Gu Ying paused, turned his head and looked at him and said, "Now that you are a disciple of the 'General', you are no longer a member of the Lotus Platform of Tianyuan Continent."

"Of course, if you wish, you can continue to stay on this lotus platform."

"What's the difference?" Chen Yuan asked calmly, "Since I am a disciple of the 'General', it is normal for me to follow him."

"Follow the 'General'?" Yi Mu, who was leading the way, sneered, "You really are... naive!"

"What?" Chen Yuan frowned slightly.

Gu Ying glanced at Yi Mu, his eyes full of threats, and said unhappily: "Yi Mu, strictly speaking, Chen Yuan is your junior fellow apprentice. It is inappropriate to target him like this."

Yi Mu paused, then bowed solemnly and said, "I will follow Master Gu Ying's instructions. Yi Mu knows I was wrong."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Yuan and continued to lead the way without saying anything else.

Senior brother?

Chen Yuan listened to the conversation between the two calmly, vaguely guessing that there seemed to be some secrets about the "general's" disciples that he didn't know about.

"Don't think too much." Gu Ying looked at him and continued, "As a disciple of the 'General', in addition to receiving the 'General's' teachings, you also need to take on more responsibilities."

Chen Yuan nodded. This was not beyond his expectations.

From a very young age, he knew that if you want something, you need to pay for it!
There is no free banquet in the world, let alone a powerful person like the "General" who dominates all realms of Taizhou Mountain!
"If you choose to stay on the lotus platform in Tianyuan Continent, I will give up my position and the entire lotus platform will be controlled by you alone. You can also recruit new members, just like Zhou Guanwu was your guide."

"If you want to follow the 'General' you can, but you will be subject to stricter scrutiny."

Gu Ying did not keep the secret, and followed Yi Mu into the Buddhist hall while introducing him through voice transmission:

"That's all I have to say. Please think carefully about it."

"..."

After listening to him, Chen Yuan looked at him appraisingly and said calmly, "Thank you for your advice."

Before he could say anything more, he glanced into the Buddhist temple and saw a person who should not be here - the Tuxing Monk!

"You, why are you here?!"

"You're not dead?!"
