“Civil war?” Shen Tianzhao’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I’m sure you’ve heard of Old Demon Blood River, Benefactor Shen,” Daoist
Banhai nodded.
Shen Tianzhao did not reply.
He had naturally heard of this name before.
Old Freak Blood River had been famous for many years. He had once been the successor of Blood River Patriarch, Xue Cangqiong. However, he had angered Blood River Patriarch, and there had been no news of him for a long time. Even the people of Blood River had rumors that he had been eliminated by his own patriarch.
He was so powerful that he was known as the second strongest person in the Blood River of this era.
Among the Red Dust’s Top Ten Martial Saints, he had always been at the top.
Currently, he was ranked fourth.
However, because he had not been seen for many years, and there were often rumors of his death, many people had expressed that he should be removed from the top ten first.
The Heavenly River Branch was not so optimistic, and they were always on guard against their old enemy.
Last year, during the great battle between the Heavenly River and the Blood River, the Heavenly River and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were still calculating whether the Old Demon Blood River would suddenly appear, but in the end, he did not appear.
Therefore, the voices in the mortal world that suspected that the other party had already died became even louder.
“You want to say that Old Demon Blood River is in the Blood Sea?” Shen Tianzhao looked at Taoist Banhai expressionlessly.
” Yes, ” Daoist Banhai nodded. ” He is one of the parties in the internal war in the Blood Sea.
It was unknown whether Old Fiend Blood River was alive or not. If he was still alive, it was most likely that he had been hiding in the Blood Sea.
Chen Luoyang had also suspected this earlier. However, his other avatar, Xue Antian, didn’t discover his figure after entering the Blood Sea. Thus, he temporarily put down his worries.
The people from Blood River were more inclined to believe that Old Freak Blood River had already been eliminated by Xue Cangqiong.
However, recently, the other party reappeared in the Blood Sea.
Chen Luoyang had even suspected that it might have something to do with the matter of Cheng Ying Tian causing the revival of the eighth generation Blood
River Patriarch, Blood Phoenix, when he killed Cheng Ying Tian in the Connate Tomb.
However, he didn’t find any more clues after that, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart.
Old Fiend Blood River reappeared. His cultivation base was shocking.
However, this old man’s fate was terrible, causing the other Blood River elders to band together to fight against him, causing an internal conflict in the Blood Sea.
Although the old demon was alone, he was strong and gradually attracted some of the Blood River Inheritors to his side.
The civil strife was getting more and more intense, and Old Fiend Blood River was gaining power.
However, Chen Luoyang’s Dark Sky Blood clone had been improving rapidly these days and was helping the other side to hold on to the situation.
He didn’t expect Shen Tianzhao to help him deal with the Old Fiend Blood River.
The reason why he wanted to send her in was because he hoped to find another way to test Blood Phoenix.
There was no trace of the Blood Phoenix in the Blood Sea.
Shen Tianzhao looked at Taoist Banhai suspiciously.
He was skeptical about the news about the Old Monster Blood River.
Blood River Patriarch was not around, and the people of Blood River Sect might not necessarily want him to join Blood River Sect. They might even want to get rid of him, just like Sky River.
If they rashly entered the Blood Sea, they might end up being ambushed instead.
However, with Shen Tianzhao’s current cultivation base, he would not be afraid of an ambush unless Old Demon Blood River acted as the main force and the entire Blood River Lineage attacked him.
Daoist Banhai ignored his doubts and took out a blood-red crystal, flicking it with his finger.
The blood-red crystal floated in front of Shen Tianzhao and hovered in the air.
“It’s just a kind suggestion. You can do whatever you want with it.” Taoist Banhai smiled. ” It’s not easy to open the door to the Blood Sea. I only have this one key. Whether I can enter or not depends on the people in the Blood Sea. I’ll just take it as a test of luck. ‘
Shen Tianzhao accepted the blood-red crystal and remained silent.
” In the Blood Sea, no matter which side it is, you may not have a good impression of it. The more intense the fight is, the more you would like to see it? ” After Daoist Banhai said that, he turned around and left.
Shen Tianzhao didn’t try to persuade him to stay. He remained silent as he watched the sloppy Daoist disappear.
He lowered his head and looked at the blood-red crystal in his hand. He didn’t throw it away, but he didn’t make a decision immediately either. He just put away the crystal first, then left the deserted island and changed his location.
Since his hiding place had been exposed, he couldn’t stay here any longer, regardless of whether Daoist Banhai would spread the news or not.
As for the Blood Sea, he had always wanted to find trouble with the Blood River Division. He had been worried that there was no way to get in, but now, someone was giving him a pillow when he was sleepy.
However, it was precisely because of this that he needed to consider carefully and not make a decision yet.
Compared to the possible ambush in the Blood Sea, Shen Tianzhao was more suspicious of the sloppy Daoist himself.
Today, he had broken through the shackles and was in a state of excitement. He had broken through the bottleneck of the past and reached the eighteenth realm. His foundation was not stable yet, so he still needed to stabilize it. He would first find a secret and safe place to sort out his thoughts.
Above the East China Sea, the wind and clouds stopped slightly.
In the land of Eastern Zhou, the flames of war were still blazing.
At this moment, the Eastern Zhou Imperial Capital, Tianfeng City, was under the most intense attack.
The mighty black tornado tore apart the sky and earth as it attacked the Eastern Zhou Imperial City.
The Mountain Chieftain of Mount Yanran of the North Sea, King Fuyao Han Shang, had made a comeback and attacked with all his might.
As expected, he was planning to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Empress of Eastern Zhou was being held down by Azure Dragon Island Lord and Swordmaster Darknorth to attack the old sword immortal first. He wanted to lure out ‘Crane Immortal’ Li Hushuang, who was originally guarding the Eastern Zhou Imperial Capital, Heavensealed City. Then, he would take the initiative to change the direction of his attack and attack Heavensealed City.
This time, Han Shang went all out to attack Tianfeng City.
Although he had been seriously injured by the Empress of Dongzhou and had yet to recover from his injuries, he would use all his methods to attack Tianfeng City again.
Even a page of the Heavenly Book fragment that was flashing with the word “quiet” finally revealed its true appearance.
As soon as the Heavenly Book of Silence appeared, time and space in Tianfeng City seemed to stop. Only Han Shang could still move slowly.
However, compared to the first time he attacked the Sky Seal City, the defensive array of the Sky Seal City was clearly stronger this time.
The host was the eighteenth level elder of the Eastern Zhou royal family, Prince Fengning Xu Qizhen.
However, the power of the formation was much stronger than before.
All living beings ‘dragon qi surged and gathered in Tianfeng City from the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Then, under the control of Xu Qizhen, the King of Fengning, the array was strengthened, and its power continued to rise.
Even with the abilities of ‘King Fuyao’ Han Shang, he was unable to break through it in a short period of time.
The Han merchants instantly understood what was going on.
This time, the Empress of the East Zhou Empire, Xu Ruotong, had entrusted all the dragon energy in the East Zhou Empire to Xu Qizhen.
This was practically equivalent to giving up the throne!
Gathering the draconic energy of hundreds of millions of people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the array of the imperial capital, the Heavenly Sealed City, was operating to its current limit.
The other party knew that Han Shang’s true goal was Tianfeng City, so he had made preparations and waited for him.
The most outrageous thing was that when he first came to attack Tianfeng City, Xu Qizhen did not have such treatment.
At that time, the Empress had pretended to go to the Wilderness, but in fact, she had specially set up a pocket array to wait for the Han merchants to sneak in. Then, she would return immediately. Therefore, the city defense array did not need to be too strong. Instead, it misled the Han merchants, making them think that this young girl would not easily give power to her subordinates.
Now, although the Empress of Dongzhou had not returned yet, Han Shang could predict that she was definitely on her way back.
The old sword immortal and the Crane Immortal would only return faster.
If the Han merchants were given time to slowly grind, then even though the Tianfeng City’s defensive formation was strong, it would still be difficult to resist the might of the giants.
Unfortunately, the little time he had gained by creating a diversion was far from enough.
Before he could break the grand array of the Sky Seal City, the Crane Immortal and the others had already returned.
When the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty returned, Han Shang was not confident enough to leave the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
He was even worried that the Empress of Dong Zhou would not return to
Tianfeng City and would directly step on the mountain gate of Yanran Mountain in the North Sea.
Therefore, Han Shang did not hesitate at all. He did not argue with the city defense formation of Tianfeng City and immediately left.
The facts proved that his worries were completely correct.
After Azure Dragon Island Lord and Swordmaster Darknorth retreated, the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty heard from her subordinates that Shen
Tianzhao had gone missing and that the old sword immortal and Crane Immortal had returned to Heavenseal City to help. However, she did not return with them. Instead, she went straight to Mount Yanran of the Northern Sea.
Almost as soon as the Han merchants returned to their mountain gates, before they could even catch their breath, the Empress came knocking on their door.
As the purple dragon roared, it pressed down on the mountain gate of North Sea’s Yanran Mountain and gave it a round of beating, making it so that Yanran Mountain did not dare to go out.
Relying on the Mountain Defending Formation, the Han merchants were still struggling. The mountain gate of Yanran Mountain was on the verge of collapse, as if it could be broken by the Empress at any time.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, after the old sword immortal heard the news, he said to the Crane Immortal, still need to trouble Hu Shuang to stay a little longer in Eastern Zhou.”
” Crane Immortal ” Li Hushuang nodded. ” Of course. Elder Yun, please rest in peace. ‘
The empress was out fighting, and the old sword immortal had not yet recovered from his injuries. He naturally needed the Crane Immortal to stay in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for a few more days.
Azure Dragon Island Lord, Swordmaster Darknorth, and the Manhuang Tribe Leader needed the Eastern Zhou Empire and the Heavenly River to remain vigilant.
The old sword immortal returned to the Sky River Mountain Gate. When he reached the gate, he looked into the distance and could not help but sigh.
This trip had taken a long time, but the result could no longer be described as disappointment.
In the end, he did not manage to bring back his disciple, Xie Xingmang, from the Wilderness.
He hurried back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but Shen Tianzhao was still trapped in the Devil Dao.
Although they had successfully defeated the Yanran Mountain of the North Sea and saved the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, their Heavenly River lineage had failed badly recently.
In comparison, his injuries were still lingering and could not be healed, but they were not as eye-catching.
The old sword immortal sighed.
Even though he was used to wind and rain, he was still in a low mood at this moment.
He shook his head slightly and dispelled the negative emotions. His state of mind calmed down again and he walked towards his own sect.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, a gatekeeper came forward to welcome them.
At the same time, he brought a message to the old sword immortal.
“There are guests?” “Who is it?” The old sword immortal looked at the disciple in front of him.
The disciple of the Heavenly River replied, ” He didn’t reveal his identity. He only said that he had something to ask of you. Then, he left a letter and left. Before he left, he said that if you read the letter and were willing to see him, there was a way to contact him in the letter.
After pausing for a moment, the disciple continued, “He looks…He seems to be from the Ancient Gods Clan..
