The road is right under your feet

Chapter 293 Muddy Waters

“The Tianjian Sect has an unwritten rule that all talented people must join the sect to practice and provide fresh blood for the sect.

In addition, the sect disciples would go down the mountain to train every once in a while, kill ferocious beasts, and eliminate harm for the people."

As he spoke, Wu Hong's eyes darkened, "Zheng Qiran is actually an inner sect disciple of Shaoyang Sect, a sect affiliated with Feiyun Sect.

This boy was arrogant and proud. He had made a big mistake before and was expelled from the mountain gate. By chance, he got the gray jade stone, so his cultivation level increased greatly and he got the position of national teacher in his motherland, the Ji Dynasty. "

As he spoke, a stone of enlightenment appeared in Wu Hong's palm, and it was slightly larger than the one in the Wu Kingdom.

"Afterwards, Zheng Qiran used the gray jade stone to get into Feiyun Sect. Now the old guy is in seclusion to strive for the great perfection of the spiritual master realm.

Once successful, years of balance will be broken, and the Tianjian Sect will be the first to bear the brunt.

This is no longer a matter for ordinary countries like the Wu Kingdom and the Ji Dynasty.

Now that Zheng Qiran has been captured, someone will soon release the news that the Wu Kingdom has such a treasure, and that it was obtained from the Ji Dynasty, in order to get the gray jade back "legitimately".

By then, the Kingdom of Wu will become the target of public criticism, and whether we have it or not, we will not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed up.

Now that the old guy from Feiyun Sect has tasted the sweetness, he will never give up.

A war is inevitable."

Wu Hong handed the item to Bai Xing and said, "You should know the value of this item. It is hard to come by. This deal is a sure win. We just need you to stay here for a hundred years.

A hundred years pass in the blink of an eye, just a moment, what do you think, fellow Taoist?"

Bai Xing pondered for a moment and did not rush to answer. Instead, he asked, "You just said that the gray jade stone of Feiyunmen was presented by Zheng Qiran in the name of Ji Dynasty. So, where did this gray jade stone come from?"

"What Zheng Qiran got was not one piece, but two pieces." A hint of coolness flashed in Wu Hong's eyes, and his gaze passed over Wu Huang vaguely.

"Then, he got news from Wu Xingzhen that our national treasure was also this kind of rare stone, so he was not in a hurry to go to Feiyunmen, but used his status to set his sights on the Kingdom of Wu.

He attempted to overthrow the imperial government, join the Ji Dynasty, and seize the national treasure alone in exchange for the favor of Feiyun Sect and more resources.

However, he had not informed Feiyun Sect of this news before, and now that the truth has been exposed, the desperate dog has jumped over the wall. "

How could you know so much?

Bai Xing's eyes darkened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Could it be that this man used the soul-searching technique on Zheng Qiran?

This method is vicious. The person whose soul is searched will most likely become a lunatic, or in other words, a madman.

White Star: "......"

Bai Xing's eyes changed when he looked at Wu Hong, but he could understand it, but he did not agree with it.

There are so many techniques in the world that can make people speak the truth, why do you have to use the soul-searching technique?

For example, he had used this kind of magic on Zheng Qiran before, a dark attribute spiritual skill - confusion.

It is captivating and disturbing.

He is an expert at using flattery and does it without anyone noticing.

Unfortunately, it takes at least three seconds of staring at each other to confuse the other person, which is somewhat similar to hypnosis.

Although Bai Xing was reluctant to admit it, Huo could indeed be considered a low-level charm technique, which he had accidentally found in the Sutra Library.

For some unknown reason, I got a spiritual-level skill. I thought I would never have to use Dark Energy again, but it turned out to be so useful. If I had known this, I would have arranged for a heaven-level skill.

The dark attribute and spiritual awareness complement each other, but Bai Xing still knows very little about this. Apart from knowing that it is a good eater, he only knows that it seems to have a unique advantage in the soul.

Moreover, many dark attribute techniques directly or indirectly attack the soul.

A very weird attribute.

Bai Xing didn't know why he had such a weird attribute. He didn't look like a serious cultivator.

Bai Xing held his forehead with his hand, feeling a little headache. However, what gave him a headache was what he was going to face next.

He had no intention of interfering and just wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible.

But this has an impact on Anle's future growth environment. As for the teacher, he has been kind to Anle, and Anle probably couldn't bear to see him die innocently and be exposed in the wilderness.

And after these days of practicing, Anle's meridians are ready. He can practice martial arts at any time and officially embark on the path of cultivation. He will definitely be noticed by the sect.

Judging from this trend, Anle will most likely join the Tianjian Sect.

Bai Xing sighed. He wanted to change the child's household registration, but he couldn't take the child away.

"I can promise you that, but I have one condition. My disciple does not need to join any sect. He can go wherever he wants. It all depends on his own will."

Wu Hong's eyes flickered, and he said without hesitation: "Of course, I can inform the sect and will not force him to join the sect."

Bai Xing nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "Also, I won't stay here for a hundred years. However, I can help you break through. If you succeed, your life span will come naturally. You have your own country to protect."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Wu Hong's hands immediately trembled with excitement, his face flushed, "Really?"

Bai Xing looked calm, "I am a doctor, specializing in treating various difficult and complicated diseases. Whether you can survive it depends on you."

"Yes...yes...yes!" Wu Hong was so excited that he was speechless for a moment. His tongue was tied and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Emperor Wu was so overjoyed that he couldn't close his mouth, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.

Wu Qingshuang and Wu Yaxin looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Wu Yaxin felt visibly relieved, as if the burden on her shoulders had been lifted off her shoulders, and she returned to her previous calmness.

Wu Qingshuang loosened his clenched fists and looked dazed and a little absent-minded.

Bai Xing took in the expressions of several people. It seemed that what they said was true. The Kingdom of Wu was really at a critical moment of life and death.

And all this depends on Wu Hong alone.

I see......

The imperial family is nothing more than a large clan. It has no real power and in the end, it cannot even protect its own people.

The less you have, the more you want it, and the more you value it.

What imperial family? Perhaps in the eyes of Emperor Wu, he didn't even have the ability to protect his children and people.

In the end, they can't even protect their own children. The talented ones have to be given away, while the untalented ones hope that they will have talent, hoping that they will one day be able to control their own destiny.

Therefore, he paid special attention to his children and people, perhaps as long as they were safe, that was enough.

What a simple request...

Of course, all this is just Shirahoshi's guess, but his perception has always been sharp, just like a woman's sixth sense.

He thought he had some idea of what kind of person Emperor Wu was.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

The water was too muddy and he didn't want to wade in it.
