Chapter 1648: Changes in the Situation

Chapter 1648

The dragon vein's reaction is no different from the past.

Because when Emperor Xia asked about some things about the dragon vein in the past, the latter simply ignored him.

It's cruel to say.

Although Emperor Xia can control the dragon veins and absorb their internal power.

But in fact.

That's the extent of their relationship.

Not only are they not partners.

Not even basic friends.

"Since you don't want to answer, forget it."

Emperor Xia shook his head. If there was really any problem with the dragon vein, it would definitely notify him first.

After all, although the dragon veins are arrogant, they are also afraid of death.

It cannot just sit there and watch the danger consume it.

In other words.

The vibration just now might just be a small accident.

It won’t affect the dragon veins or anything.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia felt relieved and looked towards a hall prepared for distinguished guests.

"After being in seclusion in the Soul-Calming Palace for so long, Master Chu finally came out. I wonder if he has cultivated the power of the law to a new level?"

Emperor Xia was curious about this. He could see that Chu Jing agreed with him in some aspects and was the type of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal.

And since Chu Jing chose to leave the Soul-Suppressing Palace, it probably means that he has made considerable progress in his practice of the Law of Darkness.

"With his strength, the Dark Law should be at least at the control level... If he breaks through the realm, wouldn't he be at the level of integration?"

"Dark Law of the Fusion Dao level? How amazing would that power be?"

Emperor Xia showed a look of shock and became more and more confused. According to the ancestral precepts.

Among the immortal cultivators in the outside world, only those at the Son of God level could pose a threat to Emperor Xia.

But see you today.

Chu Jing is not at the Holy Son level!

Why is it so outstanding?

This situation went against the ancestral teachings and made Emperor Xia extremely confused.

……

Years are like a shuttle.

Twenty years later.

Emperor Xia is still as young as ever, with a strong aura.

However, listening to the report from the eunuch below, his face was full of worry.

"Your Majesty, the coalition forces of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Divine Qin Empire have already devoured more than a dozen large and small countries. According to the current reports from scouts, they are likely to attack our Xia Kingdom! We must do something to prepare for the rainy day!"

The eunuch kept reporting the situation, feeling deeply distressed.

Emperor Xia's expression turned even uglier when he heard this.

Don't know when it will start.

The Qin State, which was originally far away from here and very weak, began to rise.

Not to mention the annexation of surrounding countries.

Later, they fought against the Barbarian Kingdom on equal terms.

Although the Barbarian Kingdom is not a powerful country, its geographical location is very special.

Most of the country's territory is mountainous.

So.

When the army arrived in these areas, they were completely restrained and unable to exert their strongest power.

The barbarian country always manages to survive the invasions.

This battlefield of the Son of God is the country with the longest history in Xia.

Then the second one must be the barbarian country!

The way for the Xia Kingdom to survive is to have a strong national strength, with the dragon veins and the emperor's super power!

The way for the barbarian country to survive is to rely on its geographical advantages, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

That's exactly why.

Only the Barbarian State could withstand the attacks of the increasingly powerful Qin State, and even unite with it to fight later.

"With the power of Qin, it is impossible for it to suddenly rise and annex the many powerful countries around it. It can be seen that Qin is most likely a country chosen by the foreign saint!"

"Even though the Barbarian Kingdom has an excellent geographical location and its national strength is not too weak, it is still not enough to resist the Qin Kingdom, which has the support of foreign cultivators. It can be seen that the probability of Barbarian Kingdom having cultivators is more than 70%."

The fact that Xia Guo was able to lead the country to this point was definitely not due to luck or relying on past achievements.

Not only is he extremely capable, his strategy and calculation abilities are also astonishing.

He pieced together the context of the matter through tiny clues and became increasingly certain that this was the case.

But it was obviously a bit difficult for him to come up with a plan to resist the two countries of Qin and Man.

At least Emperor Xia has no clue for the time being.

"Okay, I understand. What about other surrounding countries?"

Emperor Xia asked without even thinking.

The eunuch reported the situation in other countries.

In short, we are still fighting.

It's just that everyone is fighting against each other, and knowing that the Xia Kingdom is strong, they have no intention of spreading the war to this place for the time being.

But if this trend continues.

The whole world is at war, and in the end, Xia Kingdom may not be spared.

After all, no eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. This is the most basic truth and rule.

"Forget it, I understand, you can leave first."

After listening to the report, Emperor Xia felt a little headache. After driving the eunuch away, he came to the outside of a palace.

"Master Chu, do you have time to chat?"

Emperor Xia asked humbly.

Inside the palace.

Chu Jing was practicing, and was not too surprised to hear Emperor Xia coming. He shouted, "Emperor Xia, please come in."

Then the palace door opened.

Emperor Xia walked in and saw Chu Jing's aura was a little different from usual.

When I first met Chu Jing, he was like a sword hidden in its sheath, his edge was restrained but not threatening.

When I saw Chu Jing again, he still had the restrained feeling of a sword in its sheath. Apart from that, there seemed to be a darkness covering his head, just like the starry sky, weighing him as the master of the starry sky.

"Master Chu, it seems that your law of darkness has entered the realm of fusion?"

Seeing the change in Chu Jing's temperament, Emperor Xia was secretly shocked and asked seriously.

"good."

Chu Jing did not deny it.

"No wonder Master Chu has a dark quality."

Emperor Xia's face suddenly became clear, and he got back to the point: "Master Chu, I came to you this time to consult you about something."

"Well, please sit down and talk."

Chu Jing asked Emperor Xia to sit down, but did not pour him any tea or anything.

He is not good at receiving outsiders.

Emperor Xia didn't care and said seriously: "Now the Qin State and the Barbarian State have joined forces and are coming fiercely..."

After he told Chu Jing the eunuch's intelligence, he asked, "If I am not mistaken, Master Chu, you should be from the outside world, so I want to ask you, do you know who is the Holy Son behind the Qin and Barbarian countries?"

A strange look flashed in Chu Jing's eyes.

What Emperor Xia said contained a huge amount of information!

This information was beyond Chu Jing's original expectations.

During the time I was away, the Qin State and the Barbarian State actually shook hands and made peace?

What does this mean?

It is very likely that the Qin army that marched southward was unable to annex the Barbarian Kingdom.

But the barbarian countries were unable to do anything to the Qin State.

The two saints who are in charge of their own affairs are afraid that if they continue to consume their power like this, it will give others an opportunity to take advantage, so they simply join forces and jointly annex the surrounding countries first?

Except for this news.

The Qin State forcibly merged the four states of Song, Jiang, Tian Ta and Shatuo to establish the "Divine Qin Empire", which seemed very domineering.

But isn’t that just living off your own savings?

after all.

These four countries were annexed by themselves!

Chu Jing's expression did not change, but there was a fleeting strange look in his eyes.

Emperor Xia guessed that Chu Jing might really know something about the Barbarian Kingdom or the Divine Qin Empire, and he was both happy and nervous about this.

Fortunately, he had the opportunity to obtain useful information from Chu Jing, and use it to plan and resist the future.

The uneasy thing is.

It is not Chu Jing's obligation to answer his own questions.

If he doesn't say it, there's nothing I can do.

Fortunately, it turned out that Emperor Xia was just worrying too much.

After Chu Jing calmed down, he said, "Emperor Xia, you can deduce the whole context through the details of the matter, which shows that your strategic ability is very outstanding. You are much better than the emperors of Qin, Song, and Jiang."

"Ok?"

Emperor Xia was surprised, but not because Chu Jing praised him.

But what Chu Jing’s words expressed was.

Has he met the emperors of these three kingdoms?

"Even the kings and khans of Shatuo and Tianta are far inferior to you."

Chu Jing continued to speak, which surprised Emperor Xia even more.

So Chu Jing has met the emperors of the four countries annexed by Qin?

Is he from the Qin State?

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you are too kind."

Surprised by the incident, Emperor Xia remained calm.

Chu Jing said bluntly: "I basically don't praise people, but the people I praise are all powerful characters. Emperor Xia, you are worthy of my praise."

After that, he said solemnly: "As you guessed, I am indeed from the Qin State. In fact, all the countries annexed by the Qin State were conquered by me."

"what?"

Emperor Xia looked shocked.

It turns out that the establishment of the Shen Qin Empire is inextricably linked to Chu Jing?

"I was the Marshal of Qin at that time..."

Chu Jing briefly recounted his experience of sweeping across the four countries.

Even though he didn't say explicitly that he was being abandoned.

But with Emperor Xia's intelligence, he knew the whole picture with just a little reasoning.

"So the saint behind Qin State was worried that Brother Chu would become too successful, or for some other reason, so he wanted to get rid of him... and Brother Chu was forced to come to Xia State?"

After hearing this shocking news, Emperor Xia quietly changed the way he addressed Chu Jing.

Chu Jing nodded and said, "As you guessed, the reason why he treated me like this is because I killed other guest officials."

Briefly describe the inside story of the matter.

Emperor Xia was furious: "Brother Chu, from my point of view, although what you did was a bit rash, if you didn't do it, how could you have swept through the four countries in such a short time?"

Chu was shocked and didn't say anything.

He never regretted killing other guest officials.

As Emperor Xia said.

If we don't kill these people, they will only continue to hinder and trip us up, and the speed of our conquest of the other four countries will certainly be greatly reduced.

It is precisely because of clearing these obstacles.

Only then can you focus on external wars without distraction.

Emperor Xia understood such a simple truth.

The Holy Son of Tianguang doesn’t understand?

Chu Jing originally thought that the Son of Heavenly Light was just dissatisfied with his presumptuous behavior and believed that he had offended him, which led him to treat him like this.

But after listening to Emperor Xia's advice.

Chu Jing understood instantly.

There are many complicated reasons why the Son of Tianguang was so ruthless to him.

On the one hand, it is self-overstepping.

The second aspect is that his achievements are so great that they threaten his master.

The third aspect might be...jealousy of oneself?

after all.

The talent that I have shown may not catch his eye at first.

But later on, his progress became faster and faster, and he had already surpassed the Holy Son of Tianguang invisibly.

So.

The balance in his heart was broken and he no longer considered himself a partner.

perhaps.

He also never considered himself a partner.

His previous amiability was only on the surface. In his heart, he considered himself a subordinate or... a running dog.

Chu Jing calmed down after his thoughts were in turmoil and said, "Emperor Xia, the Holy Son who rules the Divine Qin Empire is the Holy Son of Tianguang. He was originally..."

He immediately told Emperor Xia about some of the situations of the Holy Son of Tianguang.

Emperor Xia deduced from this that the Holy Son of Tianguang was a lustful and dissolute man, but also a cold-tempered man with a certain degree of strategy.

But Emperor Xia did not feel pressured by this: "The strength of the Son of Heavenly Light is definitely far beyond mine, but his strategic ability should not be comparable to mine."

Chu Jing was a little surprised. When did Emperor Xia start to become narcissistic?

Emperor Xia said sternly, "What kind of strategy do you think this person has to force a subordinate like you, Brother Chu, to leave?"

Chu Jing was speechless.

Given Emperor Xia's character, there's no need for him to flatter himself.

He said this only to express his true feelings.

But he was right.

The fall of the four surrounding countries was actually no different from that of the Son of Tianguang. It was all his own operation, and he did not have any strategic layout.

So far, the Holy Son of Tianguang has not shown any extraordinary strategy.

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Emperor Xia said!
