#441 - Why be respectful at first and rude later?
Upon hearing Fifth or Sixth Mr.'s words, King Pingbian's eyes flickered: "You handle this matter."
Fifth or Sixth Mr. nodded, then suddenly said meaningfully: "There is still a big trouble in the Northern Lands that we need to eliminate in advance."
King Pingbian knew that Fifth or Sixth Mr. was referring to the Inspection Division's army. The Inspection Division's 50,000 troops were like a knife stuck in the Northern Lands, preventing them from acting rashly.
"After the demon army enters the pass, tell them to first solve the trouble left behind by the Inspection Division," King Pingbian said.
Hearing King Pingbian's words, Fifth or Sixth Mr. said: "This humble one has an idea. Right now, countless waters are囤积here. Why doesn't Your Highness use this water to flood the 50,000 troops? Then, use this water to sweep across the Northern Lands, causing countless people to be displaced and live in misery. With a little guidance, we can raise countless rebel armies. At that time, we can join forces with the demon army to invade the Divine Continent, expand our territory, and take the opportunity to吞噬the surrounding vassal states..."
Fifth or Sixth Mr.'s plan was extremely vicious. The impact of flooding the Northern Lands would be fatal. At that time, countless people would be displaced and become rogue elements. In order to survive, they would have no choice but to be coerced by the Yellow Sky Sect and King Pingbian's府, to invade the surrounding vassal states.
Even King Pingbian gasped when he heard this plan, a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "The Northern Lands is our foundation. Wouldn't doing so be tantamount to cutting off our own foundation?"
"Your Highness, our Northern Lands has reached this point. What foundation is there left? Once the demon race enters the pass and the imperial court sends troops to讨伐, once the flames of war ignite in the Northern Lands, everything will turn to ashes. We might as well strike first and perhaps seek a glimmer of hope in adversity. If our territory is in chaos, we can then influence the surrounding vassal states, dragging them into the chaos as well. At that time, everyone will be in chaos together. With our strength, we have a high probability of吞并the surrounding vassal states. Then, we can use the various vassal states to support our Northern Lands. If we continue to create chaos like this, and spread the flames of war to the entire Great Victory, we may not be able to create a new atmosphere."
King Pingbian sighed slightly: "Has the situation deteriorated to this point?"
"In order to化龙走蛟, we have exhausted everything. Moreover, when the momentum of化龙走蛟gathered before, countless water vapors gathered in the Northern Lands. If the ancestor's化龙is successful, with the ancestor疏导the water vapor, it wouldn't be a big deal. But now that the ancestor's化龙has failed, those gathered water vapors will erupt and反噬the entire Northern Lands' fortune. The Northern Lands will be submerged by floods in the future. We have no choice," Fifth or Sixth Mr. said with a wry smile.
King Pingbian was somewhat dispirited and waved his hand weakly: "Go and do it!"
"Yes!"
Fifth or Sixth Mr. said respectfully.
While the two were talking, a different scene was unfolding at Zhang Chen's place.
As Zhang Chen pulled the chains, Zhang Shicheng's dragon soul was pulled over, his eyes glaring at Zhang Chen: "Ant, it's you again! Release me quickly, or I, your ancestor, will make you suffer."
"Make me suffer? The ancestor is already in dire straits, how can you make me suffer?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhang Shicheng's forehead bulged with veins, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He was, after all, an old fellow who had lived for hundreds of years. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to bow his head: "Young man, there is no unresolvable feud between you and me. Why do you have to fight me to the death? Whatever you want, just ask. I, your ancestor, will fulfill everything I can. Wealth and glory? Or beautiful wives and concubines? Or rare treasures? As long as you ask, I will grant them all to you!"
When Zhang Chen heard Zhang Shicheng's words, his face suddenly turned gloomy: "No feud? There is no feud between us, but I have a blood feud with your King Pingbian's府that will never end! If you don't die, my heart will not be at peace!"
Zhang Chen didn't dawdle and directly told all the grievances between himself and King Pingbian's府, especially when he mentioned that he had twice taken Zhang Xiaohua's place, Zhang Chen's eyes turned red. After finishing his narration, Zhang Chen glared at Zhang Shicheng's soul: "Tell me, is there hatred between me and your King Pingbian's府? Can this hatred be resolved!"
Zhang Shicheng's face turned green when he heard Zhang Chen's words. So the reason why Zhang Chen had repeatedly opposed him was actually here. Even the last time his physical body was destroyed was all because his unworthy descendants wanted to kill Zhang Chen through徭役in order to avenge Zhang Chen, and took the initiative to push him over.
Hundreds of years of planning, generations of management, were actually ruined by such a trivial matter. Zhang Shicheng felt憋屈, and his entire mentality was about to explode.
"Unfilial descendants! Unfilial descendants!" Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth in hatred, his soul emitting fluctuations, showing signs of madness.
His化龙走蛟failed twice in Zhang Chen's hands. He really met his nemesis.
"Young man, as long as you release me, I am willing to stand up for you. I can make the decision to tie that unfilial descendant in front of you, allowing you to cut him into a thousand pieces and炼魄his soul. There is no hatred between you and me. Why forge such a great hatred? You hooked my soul here, but you can't do anything to my soul. After seven days, my soul will turn into a vengeful ghost缠着you. At that time, I will be inseparable from you, and you will also have trouble, right?" Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhang Chen, his voice and attitude softening, but containing a vague threat.
Of course, Zhang Chen understood his threat. He meant that if he turned into a vengeful soul, with his powerful cultivation, he could kill everyone around him.
"Since I dare to hook your soul here, how could I not be prepared?" A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Chen's face, pointing to the cave behind him: "Can you sense the aura in that cave?"
Zhang Shicheng's dragon soul paled. Even Xie Lingyun's阴神could sense the flames in the Bagua Furnace standing outside the cave, let alone a powerhouse like him?
"Is it necessary to do this?" Zhang Shicheng's expression was very ugly at this time.
Zhang Chen did not answer Zhang Shicheng's words, but slowly walked into the stone cave. Seeing this, Zhang Shicheng's dragon soul wanted to run, wanting to return to his physical body, but after only a few steps, the sound of chains in the冥冥echoed like a curse,哗啦啦passed over, and then牵扯Zhang Shicheng's soul,飞拽toward the cave.
Zhang Shicheng struggled desperately, but could not help the chains at all, and could only shout weakly: "No! Absolutely not! You can't do this! Let's talk things over. Even if I am a slave, I, your ancestor, will admit it. You can't do things so绝."
Faced with the crisis of life and death, Zhang Shicheng's attitude finally softened. He is now an eleventh-order soul. Even without a physical body, he can be transformed into an eleventh-order神魂道cultivator, which is also a great master higher than Yang Shen. He is not willing to die yet. How can he be willing to die?
Even if he cultivates to his level, there is still a chance to reshape flesh and blood. How can he be willing to die?
Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shicheng, and when he saw the other party's humble and submissive face, his eyes were filled with emotion. No matter how strong you are, at this time, falling into such a situation is no different from ordinary people.
"Don't blame me. Blame your King Pingbian's府for provoking me. But don't be afraid. I won't炼you into ashes. I am now祭炼a magic weapon. I will炼your soul into my magic weapon. You will coexist with my magic weapon forever, which can also be regarded as continuing in another form," Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Zhang Shicheng's whole body毛when he heard this. What does it mean to live in another way?
Hellish live! You are the one who will be炼into a magic weapon.
"Little friend, I am willing to be a slave, just begging you to spare me a life." Zhang Shicheng said卑三下四.
"I want to spare you a life, but your strength is too strong. I can't restrain you at all. If you use the people around me as threats in the future, wouldn't I be raising a tiger?" Zhang Chen looked at the Bagua Furnace in front of him and said to Zhang Shicheng: "Are you going to jump in yourself, or am I going to send you in?"
Zhang Shicheng felt the terrifying flames in the Bagua Furnace, as if he had thought of something, suddenly his waist straightened, no longer the humble and submissive before, his whole person's腰杆子hardened: "Hahaha! Hahaha! You little brat, don't even think about诓me. I, your ancestor, have already seen through your plan."
Zhang Chen was confused by Zhang Shicheng's狂笑: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Shicheng pointed at the Bagua Furnace and said: "The flames in this furnace are raging, you can't bear it at all. And you only have the means to拽my soul, but you can't control my soul. You want my soul to enter the Bagua Furnace, unless you enter the furnace yourself first, and then拽me in. I don't believe it. You actually have such ability, dare to jump into that furnace, and then拽my soul out."
Zhang Shicheng's voice was full of得意. Seeing that Zhang Chen could not help him, his attitude changed greatly. Zhang Chen could not help himself, the other party should be anxious. Isn't the other party afraid that he will kill all the people he sees in a fit of anger?
If his physical body is cut, then his soul will缠上Zhang Chen. He is barefoot, is he still afraid of Zhang Chen wearing shoes?
The two of you look at me and I look at you. Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shicheng's前恭后倨face, and various inexplicable thoughts flashed in his mind.
"Little brat, if you kneel on the ground now,三叩九拜to me, and then obediently放开my soul, I, your ancestor, can spare your life. Otherwise, I will缠着you in the future, kill everyone you see, kill all your relatives and friends, you can figure it out yourself." Zhang Shicheng's voice was full of傲然: "Not only that, I, your ancestor, also want you to臣服to me, become my座下护法神将, otherwise I, your ancestor, will never let you go."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shicheng began to get excited. After all, if Zhang Chen's evil means are掌握in his hands, it will be another kind of天地.
