Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 176 This ridiculous skill is a family heirloom

really.

The true intentions have finally been revealed.

Jiang Lang felt nothing, and even felt a little amused.

Xuanyuan Jisheng is a person.

From his ridiculous name to his actions after arriving in Yunjin, he exudes the arrogance of a charlatan.

Unexpectedly, his mind turned directly to Bai Heng.

He made the leader of the vertical clique submit to him with just a few words.

You could say they're quite confident.

But I have to say...

Putting aside the issue of submission, the conditions he offered were actually quite attractive.

His strength has advanced further, approaching the level of a king.

You can also have a king-level ally.

It's absolutely the hottest thing ever.

But if you add submission, it immediately transforms from a pounding to a pulling.

Xuanyuan Jisheng seemed to sense the coldness in Bai Heng's eyes and quickly added, "Actually, it can't be called submission. The Star Pivot Envoy and the Apostle share weal and woe; it's just that one of them needs to take the lead."

If Commander Bai is unhappy in the future, he can simply relinquish his apostle status. The only loss would be the loss of the benefits from the feedback. Besides, we are kindred spirits, there's no need for that—”

Bai Heng smiled faintly: "If I'm not mistaken, the three four-star generals in the Northwest are your prospective apostles, aren't they? With Commander Wu's connections, finding another four-star general wouldn't be difficult. Why did you choose me?"

Xuanyuan Jisheng laughed and said, "Commander Bai really understands the old man. He has indeed found the last four-star general for me. If I want, I can break through to the King level right now. However, that kind of King level is just the most ordinary King level."

"I need a five-star admiral as the chief apostle to take things a step further, and the vertical alliance also needs a stronger ally to deter Bloodsail and the Council's White Commander, don't you agree?"

From beginning to end.

His confidence never seemed to have diminished.

Bai Heng simply smiled and asked, "Are these your own terms?"

Xuanyuan Jisheng sensed that his attitude was somewhat off, but could only reply, "Yes!"

Bai Heng pressed further, "So, even if I don't agree, Commander Wu won't withdraw his troops?"

Xuanyuan Jisheng: "???"

His face immediately darkened: "Commander Bai, what do you mean by this? At such a critical juncture, you're still worrying about these things?"

Bai Heng chuckled and said, "The prospects you've described are indeed very tempting, but I still prefer to see for myself. If you're truly confident, why not wait until after you win the invitational tournament, and then we can discuss it in detail? Xiao Qin, see the guest out!"

Qin Wei stood up and gestured for him to proceed: "Mr. Xuanyuan, please!"

Xuanyuan Jisheng: "???"

His face was somewhat distorted.

But she still stood up, glancing at Jiang Lang: "Then see you at the invitational tournament!"

Done.

He simply turned and left.

"Bang!"

The meeting room door closed.

Bai Zhaoli asked curiously, "Dad! This person's cultivation system is a bit amazing."

Bai Heng scoffed, "Just remnants of ancient times."

Jiang Lang became interested: "Do you know their background?"

Bai Heng slowly brewed a cup of tea and sneered, "After all, he has been the leader of the Vertical and Horizontal faction for so many years. How could he not have heard any stories?"

Based on the current outline I've pieced together, during the chaotic period of warring states in the old era, a large number of people did indeed emerge who could easily absorb the radiation of heaven and earth.

Then at a certain point, this group of people disappeared without a trace.

All indications suggest that, because dark matter decay waves cannot reach the ground, they sought another way out, and no one knows where they ultimately went.

But one thing is certain: not all of them left.

During the transition between the old and new eras, wars were fought primarily using weapons and equipment from the old era. However, due to various forms of radiation interference, satellites and guidance systems were almost completely rendered useless, and nuclear weapons could only explode on the spot, failing to even harm generals. The damage to the warheads outweighed the benefits.

Therefore, they had no choice but to force a transformation, but the cultivation system was in complete chaos, and they were basically unable to escape the fate of being enslaved.

But at that time, there was a force that built the Twenty-Eight Mansions system almost out of thin air. Although many of them were unusable, they became the blueprint for the current cultivation system.

Moreover, when there were hardly any major general-level experts left in the entire human race, the leader of that organization had already reached the king-level. At that time, with a single call from that leader, the entire region's forces proclaimed him king, instantly making them the most powerful force in the human race.

"Whoa!"

Jiang Lang became interested.

If that's the case, then this leader is undoubtedly an ancient cultivator from the old era.

They were able to cultivate according to ancient methods, while people today don't have the ability to directly absorb radiation, so they don't understand cultivation.

In other words, the underlying principles are quite similar, which is why some improvements were made.

In that context, it was truly a destiny ordained by heaven.

He asked curiously, "And then?"

"later?"

Bai Heng sneered: "At that time, they convened a meeting of all the major general-level experts, supposedly to establish a unified command alliance, which attracted many king-level experts to come and besiege them."

Then the person who convened the meeting did not appear, and all the human experts, along with the entire area of ​​civilians, were slaughtered.

"Holy crap?"

Jiang Lang was genuinely shocked this time: "They escaped?"

Bai Heng nodded: "They ran away!"

Bai Zhaoli couldn't hold back any longer: "So they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to become the boss, but they didn't expect there to be so many king-level experts from other races?"

"Otherwise what?"

Bai Heng retorted, his sneer barely concealed: "They thought that since everyone at that meeting was slaughtered, no one would remember what they did."

Now that each department has built up a solid foundation, they want to raise their arms and become the leader.

Tsk—when it comes to shamelessness, you have to look to them.

Jiang Lang seemed to be deep in thought.

To be honest, he was genuinely a little worried that Bai Heng was hesitant.

Because a feasible path to break through to the King level is extremely tempting in itself.

Even if Bai Heng was unwilling to be subordinate to others, it was impossible for him to remain completely unmoved.

So he was a little surprised to see Bai Heng refuse so readily.

But it's not surprising now.

If you become someone's lackey, you'll likely end up being sold out when danger comes your way.

When it comes to strength, the stronger the better.

However, there is one prerequisite.

That means someone with real power is on your side.

Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, it's all for nothing.

Bai Zhaoli thought for a while: "I was just wondering why Commander Wu didn't ask a familiar face to discuss things with you. It turns out he didn't want to endorse this Xuanyuan Jisheng either."

Bai Heng nodded: "Commander Wu probably needs this force as well, but he doesn't completely trust this son-in-law either."

Jiang Lang asked curiously, "So, in the battle of Yunjin, is Xuanyuan Jisheng out of the question?"

"uncertain."

Bai Heng waved his hand: "But we don't need to worry about him, we'll just prepare our own. Ah Lang, do you trust me?"

Jiang Lang smiled and took out a USB drive from his pocket: "The information about the four fellow cultivators is all in here. I can't guarantee how much you can access."

Bai Heng also pushed over an access card: "The core medicine depot of the Vertical System is at your disposal."

"Um!"

Jiang Lang stood up: "Then I'll go cultivate too!"

Bai Zhaoli stood up and said, "Dad! I'll go with Alang."

Bai Heng watched his daughter and son-in-law leave, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

Qin Wei couldn't help but ask, "General, are you really going to flip the table?"

Bai Heng pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Whether we overturn the table or not, it all depends on whether there are any dishes on the other tables that can fill everyone's stomachs, right?"

Qin Wei nodded: "I understand!"

Bai Zhaoli sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt: "Where to now?"

"

Jiang Lang dialed a number: "Hey! Liu Xiu, get the copper compound ready for me, I'm coming over now!"
