Chapter 911 "She knows too much."
Chapter 911 "She knows too much."
Inside Tianxiang Tower, the atmosphere suddenly became strangely eerie.
This is truly a surprising statement from Jian Zu!
Not to mention Zhao Qing and Zhang Jin were stunned, even the Demon Lord Lianyin was momentarily bewildered and couldn't react at all.
Today, the Blood-Clad Clan holds sway over the Water Ridge.
With the Blood-Clad Three Journeys to the position of Immortal Lord, is Ancestor Jian capable of shouldering it?
No matter how much Zhao Qing and his group tried to guess, they could never have predicted that this ancestor would say such a thing!
Blood-Clad Three Walkers is nothing more than a walker.
And who is Jian Zu?
On a smaller scale, he could be considered a long-lived immortal, the most fundamental foundation of the Jian clan of Zhongzhou, a celestial lord who survived the Dao Tribulation...
On a grander scale, he is someone whose stance is opposed to that of the immortals and gods of the Jade Capital!
Zhao Qing's gaze was solemn, and he remained silent.
He pondered this with Sihe in his heart and gradually came to a realization.
Perhaps Jian Zu saw an opportunity and came to discuss it with Qing Jun.
But since they couldn't find Qingjun, they chose to have them relay their message...
Such a significant event.
It's really not something Zhang Jinyi and Lianyin can decide.
Its impact is far-reaching and could very well affect the overall situation of the Jade Capital!
If Qingjun is truly willing to cooperate with Jianzu, then the three giants—Phoenix, Qingjun, and the Jian Clan—will be aligned...
As for Jian Zu's statement about acting on behalf of Heaven, it doesn't seem to completely conflict with Xueyi's stance.
however.
Just as the young man was leisurely savoring his wine.
Lianyin, Ding Qian, and the two immortal lords remained silent.
Zhao Qing and Zhang Jin exchanged glances and immediately spoke!
"--no."
"--inappropriate."
One Nascent Soul cultivator and one Deity Transformation cultivator rejected Jian Zu's proposal on the spot!
They didn't even say whether or not to relay it to Qingjun!
Two voices fell!
The young man's expression instantly turned to surprise, and he stared at the man in disbelief without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the music room of Tianxiang Tower suddenly froze.
Ding Qian frowned slightly, looking at her junior sister and brother with confusion, while Gu Qinghuan lowered her phoenix eyes, a hint of worry in them...
Jian Qiong stood silently with her head bowed.
Her delicate hands trembled and curled up uneasily, and she was utterly astonished!
No!
Zhao Qing and Zhang Xingxing!
They actually rejected their ancestor's suggestion to his face!
There wasn't even the slightest room for maneuver...
Then what about the gentle narration of our ancestors?
……
Jian Zu's surprised gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Zhao Qing and Zhang Jin, his expression gradually becoming more playful.
He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his smile carrying a deeper meaning; "Can the young master make this decision himself?"
Hear the words.
Zhang Jin nodded calmly and said decisively, "Yes."
"I apologize for troubling you this time, senior."
talking.
Her words implied that she was about to leave.
Zhao Qing's eyes flickered with thought, seemingly engaged in conversation with Si He, before he left the Jian family...
Obvious.
Even with his and Sihe's limited understanding.
I also understand that this Jian Zu's position is actually quite dangerous.
Whether they wanted to take this opportunity to spy on Qingjun's true spirit or covet control of the Water Ridge Tribulation...
Anyway, there's no way I'd actually want to be a "third party"...
and.
Even if we assume that this Jian Zu is truly willing to serve Xueyi.
There is absolutely no room for negotiation now.
This is completely different from the Dragon Abyss conflict; another seventh or eighth-ranking figure will emerge...
The impact is simply too great.
It could even greatly affect Qingjun's plans.
A battle between immortals and gods, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface.
If they show some leeway, saying they'll relay the message to Qingjun...
If this Ancestor has other plans and reproduces this situation for the other immortals and gods of Jade Capital, it's hard to say what might happen...
now.
The aroma of wine wafted through the music room...
Jian Zu looked at Lian Yin with a playful smile, occasionally glancing at her indifferent gaze.
His fingertips tapped rhythmically on the piano stand.
Finally, a serious look appeared on his face as he met their gazes intently: "Why?"
Why……
Jian Qiong lowered her head, her heart filled with bewilderment and surprise.
yeah why?
The fact that Zhao Qing and Senior Sister Zhang could communicate with their ancestors was already something that Zhao Qing found incredible.
However, the two of them also rejected their ancestor's offer of cooperation regarding the Bloodstained Robe...
This is simply a fantasy!
now.
Zhang Jinyi's expression was solemn, and he first bowed respectfully.
Only after calmly meeting the man's gaze did she speak, "It is because of your unparalleled prestige, senior, that you are worthy of being on par with the leaders of various sects."
"This disciple is acting on behalf of the Blood-Clad Pavilion Master, but I cannot accept this."
Um! ?
In that case, shouldn't we consult Qingjun instead?
Jian Zu raised an eyebrow, a surprised smile on his face, and stared at the two of them, scrutinizing them...
Zhao Qing also bowed respectfully.
He pondered for a moment, then looked at Jian Zu and said in a low voice, "Now, Blood Robe only seeks stability, not change."
"...I hope you understand, senior."
Yes.
In the months since the great upheaval in Yujing, the various states and regions have been recovering and gradually stabilizing.
Although Qingjun is not here.
However, the deterrent and strategic layout it left behind remain firmly in place.
Right now, the best thing Zhang Jin should do is to do nothing.
With her abilities and methods, even with the assistance of the Demon Lord Lianyin and the guidance of the Phoenix Emperor, she could still achieve great things.
As long as the situation of the Bloodstained Robe can be maintained, it can be considered extremely fortunate and safe.
at this time.
How could you mess around like that?
It is better to remain still than to act; action will bring good fortune, misfortune, regret, and shame.
Could it be that Zhang Jie and I could actually communicate with Jian Zu and push forward some kind of Blood Cloak trend?
That's impossible!
Again.
The Jian family has already taken half of the profits left behind by Cuiyuan.
The seal on the other half of the watershed is in the hands of the Blood-Clad.
At this moment, any indication of any intention to circumvent the rules would be tantamount to seeking a deal with a tiger.
What will the immortals and gods of the Jade Capital think if they find out? Will it disrupt the current balance?
That's when things will get really serious.
now.
Zhao Qing knew this deeply.
In reality, he and Sister Zhang were already seated at the chessboard of the game of immortals and gods.
But all they could do was remain still and not make a move.
There are so many situations where things are fine as long as you don't do anything, and you can stay stable without making a fuss, but once you make a move, everything falls apart... It's like a jumbled mess of code.
Just want stability!
No need for change!
Lianyin's beautiful eyes fluttered slightly as she looked at the two figures in front of the table, and she felt unusually relaxed.
I now feel that the Emperor's arrangements are appropriate.
It was indeed a wise move to have Zhang Jin take charge of the Blood Robe.
She stopped thinking about it and smiled gracefully as she looked at Si He, who was sitting with an air of ease, and drank tea.
After all, she herself was no different from Zhao Qingjin, and had no say in such matters.
So what if it's a simple story about destiny?
A rejection is a rejection.
Given the current situation of the Blood Robe Sect, with no action taken by any of the factions, how could Ancestor Jian possibly suddenly attack someone?
Moreover, such godlike beings usually have very good tempers and disdain to harm the weak.
at the moment.
Jian Zu leaned back against the chair, smiling curiously as he savored his wine alone.
It seemed they were waiting for Zhao Qing and Zhang Jin, one or two younger members, to say something more...
Even without revealing any cultivation level, he possessed an incomparably noble aura, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
however……
As Zhao Qing finished speaking, Zhang Jin nodded slightly.
After a short silence.
There was no further explanation.
The woman raised her cup, drank tea instead of wine, and then said softly, "If there's nothing urgent, we won't disturb you any longer."
"Um--"
Jian Zu nodded casually with a smile.
It was as if they were merely observing something new and interesting, completely unfazed by honor or disgrace.
There's no need to get angry with the younger generation.
He merely glanced up casually: "Fellow Daoists, you are all from the demon race..."
"Won't you have a drink?"
Si He looked back at the man, a slight ripple in her eyes.
indeed.
Even she could feel the invisible, terrifying pressure from Jian Zu's casual, smiling question.
"please--"
Si He simply nodded, raised his teacup in a gesture of respect from afar, and sipped his tea slowly by himself.
Lianyin simply smiled and shook her head.
Jian Zu was completely unfazed by this, glancing up to acknowledge it before downing the fine wine in one gulp.
He was extremely casual, glancing at Zhang Jinyi and Zhao Qing with a light laugh.
It was more like he was looking down on Qingjun, giving her advice: "You two are not bad, interesting."
"Though the world is vast, there will be another time to discuss this..."
talking.
He seemed to have thought of something, and gave Zhao Qing a deep look as if he understood: "Fragment?"
"You smell quite strongly of perfume..."
"This girl knows too much, I'll give her to you, little brother."
The young man spoke so casually, then smiled meaningfully and looked up at Jian Qiong, who was serving Ding Qian.
And such a situation.
Zhao Qing and the others also became slightly more serious.
Zhao Qing's fragments...
Is Jian Zu able to sense the aura of the fragments?
Such harmony with the Great Way truly deserves to be called the Mandate of Heaven…
It is said that he gave Jian Qiong to Zhao Qing because he had discerned the Dao principles contained in the fragment.
As for the implications... does it suggest room for future cooperation between the Jian family and the Blood Robe? Or is it a casual arrangement to probe and monitor Qingjun's whereabouts?
Si He's expression was strange. She was joking and whispering with Zhao Qing in private, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, before she looked at the eldest daughter of the Jian family beside her again...
And Jian Qiong at this moment.
That's truly the first thing to be affected.
Her expression was surprised, and her face changed slightly.
His heart was shaken to its core, and a storm was brewing within him.
What the ancestors said.
What does it mean to know too much?
This is a threat to Zhao Qing!
If it were Zhao Qing and his party, they would simply smile and politely decline, then leave.
Then I might die without a burial place!
For a while.
Jian Qiong's heart trembled with fear and unease, truly sensing a life-or-death threat from Jian Zu's words!
As long as Zhao Qing refuses now!
I will surely vanish into nothingness... and die!
However, as the legitimate daughter of an ancient clan, Jian Qiong did not show much embarrassment despite this.
She only revealed the surprise appropriately afterward.
She then glanced back at the seniors and acquaintances, smiled gently, and obediently walked to Zhao Qing's side.
She bowed gracefully to both Jian Zu and Zhao Qingying.
"This disciple thanks the ancestor for his guidance."
"Senior Brother Zhao..."
At this moment.
Jian Qiong had no room to resist, and in fact, she didn't have much of a thought to resist.
I was filled with helplessness and regret, but also somewhat relieved amidst the surprise.
Such a discussion is of paramount importance.
How could Jian Qiong possibly speak up?
It was just a small gift for Xueyi, a casual gesture from our ancestor... nothing more.
The Fairy Jian Qiong, who has been famous in Zhong Sheng Zhou for many years and comes from the first ancient clan, is most clear about this situation.
The legitimate daughters of prominent families in Zhongzhou, aside from those of Nangong Yao who held a high social status.
Many people will end up like this.
Or it could be an intermarriage between two ancient clans, one ancestral hall and the other.
Or perhaps a swordsman with limitless potential, serving a lineage in a sacred land.
The latter was somewhat better, as he was at least like Xiao Yunshu of the Xiao family, who became a Daoist partner with the Nine Swords Walker.
The former, on the other hand, is purely a bargaining chip for personal gain, a bond of blood.
As for herself, she wasn't even related by blood.
Knowing full well that Zhao Qing was surrounded by beautiful women and would inevitably be wary of her...
now.
Zhao Qing's expression remained unchanged.
He chuckled and raised his eyes, glancing at the gentle and dignified fairy from Zhongzhou beside him, only surprised by the composure of his old acquaintance...
Jian Zu's words clearly carried a threatening connotation.
Moreover, it was explicitly stated that Jian Qiong had just learned quite a few things.
If they don't want her, she'll likely end up in a bad situation...
In this regard.
Zhao Qing did not hesitate at all. He smiled as if accepting a generous gift and stood up to thank Jian Zu.
If I refuse again, let alone the safety and situation of my old friend Jian Qiong.
The main problem is that they are too ungrateful.
Faced with the true strength of the Jane family, they refused to discuss serious matters, and they also refused this matter...
"Thank you, junior. This is exactly what I wanted."
Zhao Qing offered tea instead of wine, smiling as he spoke.
Even though Zhang Jinyi and her junior brother had a marital relationship, she smiled gracefully at the current situation, nodded slightly, and got up to say goodbye.
Jian Zu looked at Zhang Jinyi and seemed to see a subtle ripple in the woman's eyes.
Their gazes lingered on him and Zhao Qing, seemingly taking amusement.
"Remember--"
"Next time, treat me and the young marquis to a drink..."
……
·
soon.
The group in blood-stained clothes left Tianxiang Tower.
Bian Jingyu took Jian Qiong with him and they boarded the blood-stained immortal ship together.
...flew away.
Only Jian Ting, who had accompanied the guests to see them off, gazed at his cousin's beautiful figure with a complex expression.
What I just saw.
The elder sister had lost some of her dignified demeanor and put away the stunning aura of the eldest daughter of the ancient clan, becoming gentle and reserved, following closely behind Gu Qinghuan...
Jian Tingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with mixed emotions.
He understood what this meant, of course... Jian Qiong was already a member of the Bloodstained Clothes, even more so than himself.
I just wonder what her future holds...
This has never been a rare occurrence among ancient tribes.
Finally, the renowned and exceptionally beautiful eldest daughter of the Jian family, whose name was known throughout the Holy State, also quietly faded into the long river of time in the Central State.
……
And in the music room deep inside Tianxiang Tower.
A line of blood-stained clothes.
I just left, no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The young man, who had been enjoying his wine alone with a relaxed demeanor, now had a completely indifferent expression... his deep eyes were full of contemplation.
With a sudden thought, he gently waved his hand, piercing a corner of the void.
For most cultivators in the world, the desolate void is a place where one can easily take a life and never return.
In his palm, it was like a toy... like thick ink slowly spreading.
From the edge of the void in his palm came earth-shattering thunder and howling wind.
The sea of thunder, a purplish-blue color, surged like raging waves!
soon.
Then, an extremely subtle aura anchored itself from the end of the void.
"how?"
"Does Qingjun have any plans for you?"
As a steady voice echoed, a man stepped out from the sea of thunder!
They had instantly traveled from the Purple-Azure Mystic Domain of Thunder Emperor State to the depths of the ancient clans in Central Saint State!
Jian Zu did not even raise his eyes.
He casually tossed the wine jug aside, gazed at the drifting clouds outside the window, and smiled faintly, "What Qingjun is there?"
"The Blood-Clad Lord has made arrangements."
Um! ?
What Blood-Clad Boss?
Isn't Qingjun the Blood-Clad Master?
The powerful-looking man asked in surprise, "The Blood-Clad Pavilion Master?"
however.
The young man didn't respond, but just smiled calmly and said, "Never mind, let's drink."
Lei Zun was surprised.
Full of surprise: "You couldn't communicate with Qingjun? Isn't Xueyi in dire need of you and me right now?"
……
We should ask further questions about this.
Jian Zu remained silent for a moment, his smiling eyes becoming incredibly deep.
"—If you're not going to drink, then get out."
