Chapter 2137 The New King
The surface of the jade token was smooth and round, without any pattern. Qin Sang held it in his hand and felt slight fluctuations.
According to Chief Yuan Xiang, by riding the Zhuyan tribe's large teleportation array, one can reach the southern part of the fog sea. When the time comes, Qin Sang will be able to get guidance from it when he activates this thing.
Chief Yuan Xiang kept his mouth shut about the identity of the visitor, and no one knew whether it was a cultivator from Mount Ziyun or Master Liuli.
Liuli should have returned before the tide of Nie River receded. Now it seems that she must have encountered something and she was unable to extricate herself, so she specially asked people to come and help the Storm Realm fight for the Qingling Qi.
The Qingling Qi is too important to both sides. If there were no variable like Qin Sang, how much Qingling Qi they could grab would affect the situation in the next hundred years.
Liuli is still thinking about this matter, so her life should not be in danger, but she doesn't know what is holding her back.
"Thank you, Chief Yuanxiang, for delivering the message," Qin Sang put away the jade token, bowed and thanked him, but did not say when he would set off.
Yuan Xiang didn't ask any more questions. He took a sip of wine and rode away to the west on a cloud.
Qin Sang returned to the cave.
Ziyun Mountain did not set a time limit for the visit, but it was better to set off as soon as possible. Qin Sang was thinking about the things that needed to be solved before leaving. There were two things that had to be done. One was to consolidate the understanding gained from this battle, and the other was to help Si Lu swallow up Hanjiang Lu Mansion and regain the throne of King Yan.
While he was thinking, Li Yufu triggered the restriction of the cave and came to report the results of the negotiation with the leader of the Minshu tribe.
From then on, the two sides used the border of Shengmuyuan as the limit. The Changyou tribe withdrew all its members back to Shengmuyuan and the southwest sea area, and the rest belonged to the Storm Realm.
There are countless other treasures, including the ancient books that Qin Sang specifically requested.
All of this was within expectations. Qin Sang handed the matter over to Li Yufu, then secluded himself in the cave for a few days before going to the Siyou tribe in person.
……
Siyou tribe.
Hanjiang Lu Mansion.
Prince Lu led his army to fight in person, and the Lu Mansion was empty. However, the Yanshan Si family, which was once the most powerful, was destroyed because of the Lu family. The chief priest was even more famous and was not afraid of outsiders' spying.
But some time ago, the atmosphere suddenly became weird. Overnight, all kinds of rumors unfavorable to the Lu family emerged, and many unfamiliar faces appeared around the Lu Mansion.
Rumors were spreading, the Lu Mansion became more and more depressed, and various forces were ready to make a move. However, the royal family was very secretive about this, and the Emperor Si stayed in seclusion and did not take any action.
Just as people were trying to tell whether the rumors were true or not and the monks from the Lu Mansion were getting anxious, the truth finally came to light.
Si Lu led the remnants of King Lu's army and returned as a king, which shocked all parties and caused a huge stir in the Siyou clan.
Who could have thought that King Lu would come out in full force to attack the remnants of King Yan, but would be defeated. When the news that King Lu and the chief priest had all died spread, it shocked everyone, and they couldn't believe it was true.
Si Lu led the army and marched towards Hanjiang Lufu openly.
On a Dharma boat, Silu stood at the bow with Su Nu beside her, and Zhuque dozed off on Su Nu's shoulder.
At this time, Shimu flew back from the front and reported: "There are people blocking the road ahead, claiming to be an old subordinate of King Yan, and want to see the young master!"
Si Lu stared at them, his expression slightly changed, and said, "Bring them here."
"Yes!"
Shi Mu took the order and left, and soon brought back three people.
One of them looked very old, the other looked young, like a grandfather and grandson, and the last one wore a bamboo hat, which turned out to be a magical treasure that could block outsiders from seeing. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in mist.
Si Lu stared at the man in the bamboo hat, his expression slightly moved.
The man in the bamboo hat gently took off his hat, revealing to be a beautiful woman in palace dress. She looked at Silu with extremely gentle eyes, filled with deep relief and love.
"Auntie!"
Si Lu exclaimed softly, moved, "You are still alive!"
All of Prince Yan's descendants were born from the union of yin and yang. He had several concubines during his lifetime. Silu's biological mother died early, and this concubine was Concubine Qi, who was closest to Silu.
During the chaos, Changshi Xia could only take Silu away. They originally thought that all the concubines of Prince Yan had been killed.
Concubine Qi looked delicate and gentle, just like any other woman. She couldn't help shedding tears, "Lu'er, I'm sorry for all the suffering you've endured over the years. The King in heaven can finally rest in peace!"
"This old minister greets the young master!"
The old man fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face. "I have failed the king's trust. I am powerless to avenge him. I can only live in disgrace and watch my enemies live happily. I will never forgive myself!"
The young man was calmer and reminded: "Grand Marshal, are you still calling me Young Master? You should call me Your Majesty!"
After some discussion, Si Lu learned about the experiences of the three people and could not help but feel deeply moved. They were unwilling to surrender to King Lu and secretly gathered the old subordinates of King Yan, and were hunted down countless times. Fortunately, the royal family did not want to see King Lu dominate the world, so the emperor issued an edict, giving them a chance to breathe.
Fortunately, they worked secretly to preserve some of the strength of King Yan's old subordinates, so that people's morale was not completely lost.
After Prince Lu sent out his troops, they realized that they were going to attack Silu. They wanted to go and help, but they were being closely watched by the royal masters and dared not move. It was not until the young master returned that the royal masters withdrew.
Now that they have led their troops to surrender, Silu naturally welcomes them very much.
With the return of Concubine Qi and others, Si Lu's strength further grew. The army continued to set out, and King Yan's former subordinates continued to join along the way.
These people may not be truly loyal to King Yan. After the decline of Yanshan Sijia, they led their own troops and became independent forces. They avoided Concubine Qi and others, but they did not add insult to injury. When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Silu did not reject them.
The army quickly entered the territory of the Lu family. Si Lu ordered the troops to be divided into three groups to wipe out the Lu family's forces and prevent the remnants of the Lu family from escaping.
The three armies advanced like a hot knife through butter, and the enemy was easily obedient. They encountered almost no significant obstacles, and the three armies successfully gathered at Lufu in Hanjiang.
Surrounded on three sides, the Lu Mansion was shaken.
Lu Mansion was built along the Han River. On both sides of the river, the mountains are like dragons and the scenery is magnificent. All the mountains, rivers and lakes are included in Lu Mansion, which is magnificent.
Now, the protective formation of Lu Mansion has activated its full power. A bright red flag is seen rising from the surface of the river. The flag stretches across the sky above Lu Mansion, stretching for a thousand miles. The flag is as soft as water, fluttering in the wind, obscuring the view of Lu Mansion.
The flag was exactly the transformation of the palace protection formation. Everyone sensed the fluctuations emitted by the flag and it did not seem like something strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It seemed that the cultivators of Lu Mansion did not abandon the mansion and flee.
The remaining forces of the Lu Mansion are simply unable to contend with Silu's army, but no one knows what they are waiting for.
"Young Master, should we send someone to break the formation now?"
The Grand Marshal came forward to ask for instructions, and found the situation very difficult.
Si Lu has not yet been officially canonized, and orders his subordinates to continue to address him as Young Master.
"Not urgent."
Si Lu shook her head and calculated the time silently in her mind. She thought it would be best to wait for Qin Sang to arrive before taking action, so as to establish her authority through this battle!
"Order Shimu and others to pick out some descendants of the clans that are vassal states of the Lu family and bring them to the front of the battle to persuade them to surrender!"
Da Sima's eyes lit up.
Many elite vassals of the Lu family were captured. This is a heart-breaking act. In the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, we want to see how many are willing to live and die with the Lu family!
At this time, all the forces of the Siyou clan were paying attention to this battlefield, and the other two royal families were even more eager to make a move. Unexpectedly, for many days, the battlefield was very quiet and there was no smoke of gunpowder.
……
Outside Lu Mansion.
On top of a mountain, the young master stood with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, there were a dozen people wearing silver armor and silver helmets, with a murderous aura. Everyone in the Siyou tribe knew that these were the Sihuang Silver Guards, all of whom were peerless masters.
Everyone looked at Lu Mansion quietly.
Soon, a shadow appeared in front of the young master. It was another Sihuang Silver Guard. He saluted and said, "Your Excellency Young Master, the Lu Mansion has sent another memorial."
The young master was not surprised at all and said calmly, "What does the memorial say?"
"It's not much different from what they said before. They are willing to agree to all the conditions, but there is only one thing. They searched the entire Lu Mansion and couldn't find the Mirage Jue," reported Si Huang's Silver Guard.
The young master frowned slightly and sighed, "It seems that the Mirage Jue was carried by Lu Wang and has fallen into the hands of others. What a pity."
After a moment's silence, the young master said, "Tell the Lu family to give them one day to pick some people and send them out with those things. I will send them to a safe place."
The Sihuang Silver Guards were secretly awed, knowing that this statement was tantamount to sentencing the Lu family to death, and only retaining a little of the Lu family's bloodline. It was ridiculous that the Lu family still fantasized that the royal family would help them drive away their enemies.
"As ordered!"
Si Huang's Silver Guards took the order and left.
At this time, a Sihuang Silver Guard who seemed to be the commander came forward and said, "It seems that the Four Kings will become history."
The young master shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily! The Emperor Si originally planned to support the Wutansi family and unite with the other two families to fight against the Lu family. If the new King of Yan becomes powerful, he will also bring up the Wutansi family."
"Master Qin is so powerful that even if the two families join forces, they may not be his match," said the Silver Guard leader.
The four kings of the Siyou clan are what the royal family is most happy to see. It not only balances the forces of all parties, but also allows them to check and balance each other.
Before, the strongest Yanshan Si family and Hanjiang Lu family were at loggerheads, and the other two families were restraining each other. Now the pattern has been completely broken, and they have to seek a new balance.
"After all, he is a foreigner, so we might as well wait and see," the young master said confidently.
In his opinion, the biggest winner in this turmoil was actually the royal family. The Yanshan Si family and the Hanjiang Lu family fought each other and both suffered heavy losses. The two top masters who posed the greatest threat to the royal family, Xia Changshi and Da Gongfeng, both died.
Now Silu seems to be in the limelight, but there is a foreigner standing behind him.
Apart from the fact that he fled from the battlefield in disgrace, it was perfect.
The battlefield was quiet for a while, and as everyone was eagerly waiting, Qin Sang finally arrived.
Qin Sang, Si Lu and others appeared in the sky, overlooking the flags above the Lu Mansion.
Suddenly, Qin Sang seemed to have sensed something. He glanced outside the battlefield and quickly looked away.
The Silver Guard leader's eyes narrowed slightly, "Did he discover us?"
"Master Qin's spiritual perception is extremely sharp. King Lu's defeat is not unrelated to this," the young master said without surprise.
After staring for a long time, Qin Sang saw some clues.
"Although there is a master formation inside, the power of the formation is weak and exposes many weaknesses. Perhaps your previous strategy has worked. The monks in Lu Mansion are confused and their hearts are used..."
After some thought, Qin Sang pointed out several places and ordered Shi Mu and others to lead the army to attack.
The battlefield was extremely quiet, but then it started to move. Silu's side launched a fierce attack at the very beginning of the battle. Their momentum was overwhelming, and rays of spiritual light shot towards Lu's residence like rain, covering the sky and the earth, and instantly submerged the flags.
The earth shook and the wind and clouds changed color.
From time to time, one could see flags in the gaps between the spiritual lights, but at this moment they looked extremely thin, swaying in the wind and rain.
Except for Qin Sang and Si Lu who were in the middle, everyone else appeared on the battlefield.
Not long after the battle, the results of the previous persuasion to surrender became apparent. There were continuous cultivators escaping from Lu Mansion and joining in. The chaos in Lu Mansion could be felt even through the large formation.
Qin Sang keenly sensed the changes in the flags. The Lu Mansion formation, like the Thunder Altar, also required the concerted efforts of other cultivators to assist the main formation master. Now that the people in the Lu Mansion were in disarray, its power was naturally greatly reduced.
Now, perhaps the only ones who can remain steadfast are the descendants of the Lu family.
In the face of the general trend, establishing authority through killing cannot change the overall situation. Not long after the war began, the flags began to sway in waves.
Qin Sang's eyes flashed, and he appeared in the sky. His mind was connected to the altar, and he raised his finger to the sky.
‘Boom! ’
Blue thunder appeared in the sky and thousands of thunders were roaring.
The thunder gathered, and in the center of the dazzling lightning, a thunder seal emerged, and the power of thunder was unparalleled!
"What kind of thunder magic is this?" A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the Silver Guard leader.
The young master had a solemn expression on his face, thinking that although this thunder technique was powerful, the most shocking thing was still the green thunder paper. This was also the reason why he insisted in front of Si Huang not to go against the other party.
In other places, the spies sent by various forces were even more shocked. They stared blankly at the thunder seal in the sky, and fear arose in their hearts.
'boom! ’
Blue thunder descended from the sky and struck the flag.
The terrifying power suddenly erupted. At the same time, Su Nu and others also received Si Lu's orders and launched a fierce attack with all their might.
Thunder echoed between heaven and earth.
The Han River was stirred up by huge waves, and the mountains seemed to be collapsing. A layer of green light spread on the surface of the flag, covering its original color.
'Rumble...'
The power of thunder continued to explode, and the flag finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed at one corner. This was like a signal, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the flag. In the desperate eyes of the monks of Lu Mansion, it began to collapse from the outer palace.
Qin Sang glanced down, then quickly left the battlefield and flew towards the mountain where the young master was.
"Master Qin!" The young master bowed slightly.
"The war situation was chaotic at the time, so I didn't have time to discuss it in detail with you, Master Junior Master. Please don't blame me," Qin Sang landed and returned the greeting with a smile.
Hearing Qin Sang bringing up the past, the young master remained calm and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Master Qin is still as powerful as ever. He should be able to help Master Silu revive the Yanshan Si family."
Qin Sang glanced at the battlefield and said calmly, "I promised to help Daoist Silu get revenge. Now that the revenge has been taken, I still have my own dojo, so I can't stay here for too long."
"Oh?"
The young master's eyes flashed. This was undoubtedly the best result.
As long as this Master Qin knows how to advance and retreat, the royal family may not be unable to become friends with him.
Thinking of this, the young master's expression eased a little and he smiled: "Even if Master Qin is not here, no one dares to provoke King Yan. I forgot to mention that before leaving, the Emperor ordered me to bring the golden book and jade silk, and has canonized Young Master Silu as the new King Yan!"
Next, the two sides talked happily.
The young master seemed to have just remembered something and asked, "I wonder if the master has found the Mirage Jade among the relics of the King of Reeds?"
“Isn’t a treasure like the Mirage Jade stored in the Lu Mansion? My Taoist temple has gone through wars and is in ruins. There are so many things to do that I haven’t had time to check it out, so I don’t know,” Qin Sang said with a smile.
