Winning and losing, war has always been very cruel, and that dark history makes people feel sad. 2.

Bai Xuanyu's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he said: "Back then, Shengming City was breached, and it was the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion that stayed behind and slaughtered many monks loyal to the empire. The ancestor of our Bai family died in that massacre. ”

Bai Xuanshuang comforted his sister and said, "Actually, we are very lucky to have been rescued by the Twelve Masters, embarked on the path of cultivation, and regained the power to take revenge on the enemy. Instead, become a slave and can only live a humble life. ”

Zhang Ruochen's heart moved, so he asked them about some things about the "Twelve Masters".

According to Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu, the Twelfth Master took some of the descendants of the royal family and the monks of the loyal Shengming Central Empire to save many orphans of the previous dynasty who were persecuted.

For 800 years, they have been hiding in the shadows, fighting with the imperial court, both for revenge and for the return of Emperor Ming.

They firmly believe that Emperor Ming is not dead.

In addition to the Twelfth Master, there is another relatively large force, they obey Emperor Ming's sister, the eldest princess of the previous dynasty.

It's just that the eldest princess thinks that the general trend of the Shengming Central Empire has gone, and the power of the First Central Empire is too huge, and continuing to fight against them is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and more people will only die tragically.

Therefore, she led another group of people and horses to leave the Kunlun Realm and hide in a certain ruin realm outside the territory to recuperate.

In general, the forces that obey the orders of the Twelve Masters are radicals.

Obey the power of the eldest princess and belong to the conservative faction.

The Twelfth Master wants to use the power in his hands to rescue more orphans of the previous dynasty, so that everyone can live with more dignity, instead of becoming war slaves, servants, and prostitutes.

The eldest princess obviously wants to be more rational and doesn't want more people to die.

Just like Zhang Fengxing and Zhang Shu, how miserable was their end?

If their ancestors left with the eldest princess, maybe there would not be such a tragic life.

Which is right and which is wrong?

In fact, the two of them did nothing wrong, but they had different ideas from each other.

Zhang Ruochen asked, "So, what about Mingtang?"

Bai Xuanshuang's eyes showed a cold light of hatred, and said: "Mingtang is a group of usurpers, at the beginning, Emperor Ming disappeared, the crown prince was assassinated, and the government of the entire Shengming Central Empire fell into chaos. ”

"Originally, everyone wanted to nominate the Twelve Masters to serve as the regent, waiting for Emperor Ming to return. However, Kong Shangling, the owner of Peacock Villa, thought that he was the strongest person under Emperor Ming and was most qualified to become the master of the Shengming Central Empire. ”

So, Kong Shangling united a group of courtiers and took over the government by thunderous means, so as to enter the palace of Emperor Ming. ”

At that time, Emperor Qing and Chi Yao used this as an excuse to lead the army of the Chi Qing Central Empire to crusade against Kong Shangling, thus engulfing the Shengming Central Empire and bringing nearly a hundred years of war and disasters to the Kunlun realm. ”

"Three hundred years ago, after the death of Kong Shangling, the relationship between Mingtang and us eased a little, and many times they would cooperate with each other to fight against the suppression of the imperial court. ”

Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu told Zhang Ruochen a lot of things, which made him feel both anger and some feelings in his heart.

The fall of an empire has too many disputes, and it is not possible to explain it in one or two sentences. There are too many stories, too many hidden secrets, even the parties may not know.

Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu had not personally experienced that period of history, and what they knew was also told to them by others, which seemed quite objective.

From a different perspective, everyone has a different opinion.

Even Murong Yue, there are some subtle differences in what she told the two of them.

Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu took Zhang Ruochen down the stairs and walked up to the palace where Qin Yutong lived.

Bai Xuanyu took a pot of hot tea and poured a full cup for Zhang Ruochen.

"I have already informed my senior sister and told her that she should come over soon after the news of your exit. Bai Xuanyu said.

Zhang Ruochen took out a jar of divine blood and gave each of them a hundred drops.

Such a large amount of divine blood made Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu very frightened, and they wanted to refuse, but they didn't dare to accept it.

Zhang Ruochen said: "The two of you can cultivate to the fourth order and a half-saint before you are a hundred years old, which shows that your talent must be extremely high. However, his physique was much worse, and he had no chance of sanctification at all. ”

"If each of them refines a hundred drops of divine blood, not only will their own cultivation be able to improve by leaps and bounds, but their physical body will also be greatly enhanced, and in the future, there may be a glimmer of hope for becoming holy. ”

Because, of the desire for sanctification, Bai Xuanyu and Bai Xuanshuang finally accepted the divine blood.

They saluted Zhang Ruochen at the same time and said, "Thank you, son." ”?

Bai Xuanshuang's eyes rolled slightly, and he whispered: "Childe, you must not tell Senior Sister about this matter, otherwise, she will definitely reprimand us." ”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "You must not say it to the outside world, otherwise, it is very likely that you will bring me death." ”?

"No, no, we certainly won't. ”

Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu said in unison, and then they hurriedly retreated, preparing to hide the two small jars of divine blood.

Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu are both hard-working people, because of the fall of the Shengming Central Empire, their ancestors have suffered a lot.

Giving them two small jars of divine blood, Zhang Ruochen can also be regarded as some compensation to the Bai family.

Of course, it's not anyone, Zhang Ruochen will give away divine blood.

He saw that Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu didn't have too much scheming, and they didn't look like greedy people, so they sent out divine blood.

Changing to a scheming character, Zhang Ruochen didn't dare to give away too valuable things easily.

Qin Yutong rushed back, still wearing a veil, wearing a light blue long skirt, and a red ring on her willow waist, with an antique charm on her body.

She sat opposite Zhang Ruochen very elegantly, took out two white animal skin scrolls, handed them to Zhang Ruochen, and said, "The latest issue of "Half-Saint List" and "Half-Saint Outer List", do you want to take a look?"

"Really?"

Zhang Ruochen picked up the "Half-Saint List" and "Half-Saint Outer List" respectively and read them quickly.

There is no name on both lists.

Although, Zhang Ruochen killed the two sages of the Demon Sect, and for a while, the limelight overshadowed the Nine Great Realms.

However, the talented girl of the holy book knew Zhang Ruochen's true strength and did not rank him in the two lists.

Da Sikong and Er Sikong both appeared on the "Half-Saint Outer List", ranking 472nd and 473rd.

The two of them had a duel with Kong Hongbi, and thus became famous in a fight.

In that battle, the time of the fight was too short, and neither side used all their strength, so it was not easy to judge the true strength of the big Sikong and the second Sikong.

Therefore, the ranking of the two of them is relatively low.

In addition to the two of them, there is another person's ranking, which is quite eye-catching, which makes Zhang Ruochen feel surprised.

This person is Ah Le.

Ah Le was only at the bottom of the "Half-Saint Outer List", barely squeezing in, but it still surprised Zhang Ruochen.

He didn't get the rich cultivation resources of the Nine Great Realms, however, his cultivation degree was not much slower than that of the Nine Great Realms, which was simply against the sky.

"When "Nine Revolutions of Life and Death" was passed on to him, it was passed on to the right person. Not necessarily, he will become the first person to cultivate "Nine Turns of Life and Death" to the ninth turn. Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly.

The cultivation method of "Nine Reincarnations of Life and Death" is completely different from the orthodox cultivation method, it is a kind of cultivation method that takes the sword sideways, and it is on the verge of life and death at any time.

The more dangerous it is, the closer it is to death, the faster your cultivation will improve.

Every time he dies, his cultivation will increase dramatically.

Of course, sometimes, once you die, you really die and will not come back to life.

It is precisely because of the particularity of the exercises that Ah Le's cultivation degree is far from ordinary people, even if it is a realm, I am afraid it is beyond the reach of the dust.

After reading the two lists, Zhang Ruochen handed them back and put them on the table.

Qin Yutong's expression was very serious, and he said, "In addition, there is another big event. ”?

"What's the big deal?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Qin Yutong said: "It is rumored that the aura of heaven and earth in the Central Imperial City has been greatly reduced, and some people speculate that the true body of the Empress has left the Central Imperial City. ”

Hearing this news, even Zhang Ruochen's expression became extremely solemn.

There is a way, the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the name is not, the water is not deep, there is a dragon is the spirit.

It is precisely because of the true body of the Empress in the Central Imperial City that the heaven and earth aura of the entire Kunlun realm has gathered in the past.

It makes the Central Imperial City the Kunlun realm, the place where the aura of heaven and earth is the thickest. The monks of the world also converged on the central imperial city.

The true body of the Empress has not left the Central Imperial City for many years.

"Where will she go when she leaves the Central Imperial City?" Zhang Ruochen frowned.

Qin Yutong said: "Many people are speculating that the empress's true body leaving the Central Imperial City is likely to be related to the recent wars in various parts of the Kunlun realm. ”

"It is said that because of this incident, several blood emperors of the undead blood clan in the Northern Regions have all fled the Kunlun realm and hid overseas. ”

"In the Eastern Regions, those ghost kings who escaped from the underworld have all been dormant and disappeared, not knowing where they are hiding. ”?

"The Dead Zen Sect in the Southern Regions has also settled down a lot, and all the top powerhouses have disappeared cleanly overnight, and they should also be avoiding the empress's edge. ”

Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly and said, "In order to cultivate to reach a realm like her, as soon as the real body moves, the whole world will be turbulent." I'm afraid that those beast emperors in the Savage Secret Realm were also frightened. ”

Qin Yutong said again: "Of course, there is another way of saying it. Some people speculate that the empress's true body is actually hidden, hiding from the way of heaven. Because, there was no news of her appearance in the North, East, and South, and the queen's whereabouts became a mystery. ”

Zhang Ruochen's eyes kept changing, and he said: "At least, before this mystery is solved, the Sacred Realm giants of the Dead Zen Sect, the Immortal Blood Clan, and the Undead in the Netherworld all dare not act rashly, and can only lurk and hide, which is a good thing for the human race." ”

Qin Yutong nodded, agreeing with Zhang Ruochen's point of view.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ruochen asked again: "Have you checked the whereabouts of the other eight commanders of the Canglong Army?"
