West Mountain.
Star Town.
Nowadays, Star Town City had become more and more peaceful. Those who wanted to fight had gone to fight, and those who didn't dare to show up didn't dare to fight. They just stayed in Star Town City quietly.
The SU family, the Liu family, the Zhou family ...
These families whose patriarchs had died in battle were now almost in full force, active in the various catacombs.
All of this was so that the family could rise to the top again in half a year, kill their way into the heavenly tomb, inherit the name of the ancestor, and not embarra.s.s the ancestor.
In the city, there were only a few experts left.
If there wasn't a pa.s.sage that connected to the defensive Sea Mountain near the city, the small city would be much quieter than it was now.
……
In the small city.
Jiang Chao was wandering on the bluestone path. When he saw children running and playing, he would occasionally shout a few words.
"Go back and practice your martial arts!"
"If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll be sad when you're old!"
"The patriarchs of all the families are fighting in the heavenly tomb. The elders of all the families are fighting in the catacombs. You still have the mood to run around?"
"Hurry up and go back to cultivate!"
Jiang Chao's face was dignified, his body was wide and fat, and he had a bit of an imposing manner.
However, there were also children who questioned and shouted,""Second brother Jiang, why don't you go and cultivate? Not partic.i.p.ating in the battle?"
Jiang Chao snorted,"it's all because of you guys!" "There aren't many powerhouses in the city right now. I'm a rank-8 golden body powerhouse. I have to stay behind to guard the city and protect the peace of this place!
I'm still The Guardian of Star Town City and the Chief Instructor of you guys, so you have to work hard, or you'll be letting me down. "
Jiang Chao said indignantly,"if it weren't for you guys dragging me down, I would've gone out to kill everyone!" "He might've already stepped into rank-9 by now, so why would he need to keep hanging around in the city!"
Some of the children believed it, some were skeptical, and some questioned,""But my uncle said that second brother Jiang didn't go out because he was afraid of death. So, when grandfather Jiang and the others left, second brother Jiang insisted on staying in the city ..."
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Chao berated. Then, his voice was like a great Bell as he directly transmitted his voice to a courtyard and shouted,""Jiang Minghao, if you dare to slander me again, do you believe that I will hammer you to death?"
"The Jiang family's survivor is only a rank-7, and he dares to slander me, Jiang Chao!
Did he not want to live?
Don't you know that I, Jiang Chao, am the strongest in the entire Star Town City?
"Of course, there are rank-9s around, but they still have to guard that pa.s.sageway. Even if they take turns, they can't stay in the city for long.
Now, it was time for him, Jiang Chao, to make the decision, but there were still people who dared to slander him!
The Jiang family's courtyard was silent.
However, in the courtyard, a middle-aged man was still shaking his head speechlessly. Slander?
Who slandered you?
Why did you, Jiang Chao, stay? don't you have points?
"It's fine if some of our families stay. After all, we have a lot of business and we have to take care of them. For example, we can teach some children martial arts.
But your Jiang clan ... Is there a need for this?
How many people were there in the Jiang clan?
There were only a few males!
Jiang Yuanhua had gone out to fight, Jiang Hao had been running around the restricted zone and the pa.s.sageway, and Jiang Chao's father had gone to the house of guardians ...
In this generation of the Jiang family, there was no one else.
Was there a need for Jiang Chao to stay?
Of course, he was a rank-8 after all. The middle-aged man was no match for him, and he was too lazy to expose his true colors. This guy was not very narrow-minded. He had gained power overnight, and now that the others were not around, he might really have the intention to beat him up to establish his might.
This person from the Jiang family didn't respond, so Jiang Chao was immediately smug and said loudly,""Everyone, cultivate well. When everyone has the ability to protect themselves, I will no longer need to guard the city for everyone! It doesn't matter if we delay for a while. After all, the younger generation is our hope ..."
Jiang Chao's expression changed slightly as he spoke.
At this moment, a shadow appeared in the sky above the city.
"Fang ping has come to visit!"
These few simple words made Jiang Chao's expression change drastically.
What the h.e.l.l, why is this guy here?
Could it be that they were here to capture him to partic.i.p.ate in the battle?
After all, he was a rank-8. Actually, it was not necessary for rank-8s to stay behind and defend. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they would join the battle.
Fang ping had come to Star Town City for no reason. Could it be that he knew that he was now the boss here, so he wanted to throw him into the catacombs?
Jiang Chao's expression was strange.
However, at this moment, experts from the other families also appeared.
The human King was here!
Just like when the martial King had descended, he was now more worthy of attention.
There was no peak existence in Star Town City!
The fact that the human King had come to pay a visit made everyone a little nervous. They did not know why the human King had come.
Many people looked over at the meeting hall. Seeing that the number of statues was still the same as before, many people calmed down.
He was afraid that the number of statues would suddenly decrease, and that Fang ping was here to express his grief.
The powerhouses from several families all flew toward Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao was just about to find a place to hide, but at this moment, he cursed in his heart. d.a.m.n it, what are these guys doing here?
"Jiang Chao, the human King has arrived. Why don't you quickly open the main gate and welcome the human King!"
A few senior martial artists spoke up one after another. This was Fang Ping's first visit to Star Town City after he became the human King.
He couldn't be neglected.
The present was different from the past. He could not just open a small door like he did in the past. He had to open the main door wide to welcome Fang ping.
And this required Jiang Chao, the strongest person left behind to control it.
Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little helpless. It seemed to be true.
Although he was powerless, Jiang Chao still quickly recovered his smile and said,""That's for sure. Then everyone, follow me to welcome the human King! The human King is my, Jiang Chao 's, brother. We have a very good relations.h.i.+p, so there's no need to be afraid!"
Everyone glanced at him. Fang ping was indeed on good terms with this fatty, and the few members of the Jiang family had more contact with Fang ping.
Are you sure?
It was not appropriate for them to say anything, as Fang ping was still waiting outside.
……
After a short while, the gate of the city, which was rarely opened, suddenly opened!
Usually, there would be a small pa.s.sage to enter and exit.
Today, more than a dozen powerhouses took out their tokens and opened a long pa.s.sage under the archway in the city. It was extremely wide, dozens of meters wide.
The experts from the various families arrived one after another. When the door opened, they quickly bowed and said,""Star suppression city welcomes human ruler!"
In front of him, Fang ping had his hands behind his back. He was wearing military boots and a loose martial arts suit, a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Fang ping opened his arms and exerted a little force to lift up the bowing crowd. He smiled and said,"Seniors, you're too polite! "Zhenxing city is the sacred land of martial arts in China. It's the peak of the city and the Savior of mankind. Fang ping is just a junior. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this!"
It was different from the first time he came here. Back then, Fang ping was not strong, but he was very domineering.
But now, it was the opposite.
He was very powerful, but his att.i.tude was much more modest.
People in different positions naturally had different things to consider.
When he first came to Star Town City, he had to pretend to be strong so that the people in Star Town City wouldn't dare to bully him.
But now ... He didn't need it.
He was powerful and the leader of the human race, so he didn't need to be arrogant when he came to visit.
On the contrary, all the peak Masters in Star Town City were fighting for the human race. Even if he had the strength to be arrogant, he couldn't be arrogant when the peak Masters were leaving.
Fang Ping's att.i.tude was modest, and everyone was relieved.
They did not forget that when Fang ping first came here, he had a conflict with Star Town City.
After that, the martial King and a few others came in person, and even the battle King was lured back. The two sides almost caused a big fight.
Everyone was more cautious when dealing with Fang ping.
Fortunately, as Fang Ping's strength and the situation changed, he was no longer the same as before.
At the front of the crowd, Jiang Chao grinned and said enthusiastically,""Minister Fang, welcome to our Star Town City. I've prepared a banquet. Let's have a drink at noon ..."
Fang ping shot him a glance and laughed,"why are you still in the city?"
"……"
Jiang Chao was embarra.s.sed. What are you saying? if I'm not in the city, where am I?
Fang ping ignored him and walked in.
After looking around, he immediately looked at the meeting hall. When he saw that the sculptures were still there, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't dare to look at these things recently, afraid that he would hear some bad news.
Many of the 13 paragons in Star Town City had died.
If more people died, the human race would suffer a great loss.
With no fewer sculptures, Fang ping felt much more at ease.
However, he quickly looked around and raised his brows.""The other seniors have all gone to the catacombs?"
In the crowd, a rank-7 old man from the Li family added,""Replying to the human King ..."
"Senior, you're too polite. If you don't want to call me by my name, you can call me Minister."
The education they received in Star Town City was different, and there was a huge gap between their abilities and Fang ping 's. They might not be used to calling him by his name, but Fang ping felt awkward calling him human King.
The other party didn't dare to argue and quickly said,""Minister Fang, all the rank-8 and rank-9 powerhouses have gone out! "A part of them went to the house of guardians, another part went to the military headquarters, and a few of them are keeping watch at the pa.s.sageway. I've already sent people to inform ..."
"The pa.s.sageway is important!"
Fang ping laughed."The pa.s.sage to Star Town City leads directly to the Royal Sea Mountain. By right, the summit should be in charge to prevent the catacombs 'Summit from breaking in. However, as you all know, there are only a few paragons in the human world. Minister Wu and I both have things to do, so we can only leave it to Star Town City. "
"However, when we have more manpower, the peak will still guard the pa.s.sage."
The old man from the Li family laughed."Minister Fang's killing has made the catacombs 'apex terrified. The situation is a thousand times better than before. Now, near the pa.s.sageway, or rather near the mountain of resisting sea, there are no catacombs powerhouses who dare to show their faces. This has already exceeded our expectations."
Fang ping laughed and did not continue on this topic. At this moment, he looked at Jiang Chao, who was lowering his head and listening to his words, and said with a smile, "Where's your brother?"
"Perverted?"
Seeing that Fang ping had stopped asking about him, Jiang Chao heaved a sigh of relief and said hurriedly,"The freak has gone to the catacombs. He's been going to the restricted zone to fight a lot now. The freak is still very powerful. He's almost at the fifth-grade golden body now. I think he's almost at rank-9 ..."
Jiang Chao gritted his teeth and said,"my family's patriarch is fighting in the war. My grandfather is also fighting in the war. My father is also in the military department. The pervert is also fighting now ... As for me, I'm staying in Star Town City to help teach the children. I'm also contributing to the country. There's no difference in position ..."
Jiang Chao's words were telling Fang ping,"my entire family is going to the war, don't make me go."
I'm afraid of death!
If he were to die, the Jiang clan would be doomed.
Fang ping darted him a look. 'This guy ... Even if he's rank-8, he's still such a piece of trash.'
Back then, old w.a.n.g's heart had been sucked in vain.
Jiang Chao felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and he hurriedly laughed and said,""Minister Fang, are you pa.s.sing by or are you here for something?"
If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost.
With this fellow by his side, he was scared witless, afraid that Fang ping would throw him into the catacombs.
Fang ping understood what he meant and said in amus.e.m.e.nt,"Have you never thought of getting stronger? When you and your brother broke through to rank-8 at about the same time, you were only at rank-8 first-refined, while he's almost at rank-8 fifth-refined. Are you prepared to stay at rank-8 for the rest of your life?"
"Then ... Then why don't ... Why don't you give me some imperishable substance to temper my body?" Jiang Chao said in embarra.s.sment.
"……"
Fang ping was powerless. 'Other than these, don't you have any other ways to become stronger?'
Fang ping continued walking toward the conference hall. After taking a few steps, he said slowly,"Is there any trouble in Star Town City recently? The Heavenly King and the other seniors aren't here, so if you have any trouble, just tell me. Don't worry, I will find a way to solve it. "
Jiang Chao was just about to say no when a burly middle-aged man beside him said in a deep voice,""Minister Fang, I have a question!"
"Senior, please speak."
"I don't dare to be called senior!"
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice,"my name is Xiao Zhan, from the Xiao family!" We don't know the exact process of the battle at the Royal battle Ground, but I ... But I heard that ... My family's ancestor, the Thunder King ... It seems that ... The Xiao family has been unable to raise their heads in recent days!
Minister Fang, Xiao Zhan can't believe that our Grandmaster is a traitor!
The Liu family, the Zhou family ... They are going to tear down the statue of our patriarch and move our family to star suppression city!
This is something that even the Yang family has never experienced, but it's happening to my Xiao family today. If it wasn't for the peace talks between the family heads, the Xiao family would have been exterminated by now!
Department head Fang, I just want to ask you one thing, my family's ancestor ... Really ..."
There were not many people who had partic.i.p.ated in the battle of the Paragon that day. Only Fang ping was in the human world now.
Whether the Xiao family's ancestor, the Thunder King, had betrayed them or not, there were many different opinions now.
On the day of the battle at the mountain peak, a voice was heard. The Thunder King seemed to have spoken, and some of the martial artists nearby heard it.
However, after Fang ping returned, he did not do anything to the Xiao family, so the others were not sure about the Xiao family.
However, the Xiao family was still ostracized in Star Town City.
Especially the few families whose old ancestors had died in battle. Now, some people had s.h.i.+fted their anger onto the Xiao family.
As soon as Xiao Zhan finished speaking, the powerhouses from the Liu family and the Zhou family who had stayed behind in the crowd looked at Fang ping with complicated expressions.
Was the Xiao family's ancestor ... A traitor?
Fang ping was silent for a moment, then said slowly,"senior Thunder King and Heavenly King suppression are not on good terms. This has been shown before!" During the battle, a Paragon of G.o.d's paradise betrayed and killed a human Paragon ...
At that time, Lizhu had a conversation with Thunder King, but Thunder King didn't make a move.
Heavenly King Zhen also said that Thunder King would not betray us, and I believe in senior Heavenly King Zhen. Since that's the case, then it's just a personal grudge, and there's no such thing as betrayal. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan heaved a sigh of relief and explained,""My family's old ancestor and the Heavenly King of suppression didn't get along, but it was only a matter of recent years.
Old ancestor li is strong and is the pillar of humanity, but Xiao Zhan, as a member of the Xiao family, doesn't dare to judge whether he is right or wrong.
However, from what I know, this matter might not be my family's ancestor's fault!
My family's old ancestor once said that the Heavenly King of suppression doesn't consider the consequences when he does things. Some things are wrong, but he still insists on doing it.
That day, old ancestor li didn't refute it, so Xiao Zhan felt that this matter ..."
As he spoke, the old man from the Li family frowned and said,""Xiao Zhan, I have my own considerations, and only the two of you know the details of this matter. By saying this now, aren't you trying to separate us human experts ..."
"I didn't mean that!"
Xiao Zhan's expression was solemn."But everyone says that my family's old ancestor doesn't care about the big picture, hides his strength, betrays humanity, and doesn't dare to sacrifice for humanity like old ancestor su. But all these years, my Xiao family has been at the forefront of the battle, and our old ancestor has even fought with the catacombs 'peak a few times. There are some things that I must say!"
As the two of them conversed, Fang ping pondered more.
The Thunder King did not betray the humans that day, he only said that he had a personal grudge with the Heavenly King of suppression.
What personal grudge did the two have?
Since they could build the star suppression city together and the ancestor of the Xiao family didn't lose his memory, it meant that they had a good relations.h.i.+p.
Then why did they fall out now?
Fang Ping's eyes flickered, and he laughed."When did the two patriarchs get into a bad relations.h.i.+p?"
"They didn't get along for a long time, but about 30 years ago, the two patriarchs had an argument. Since then ..."
Fang ping nodded slightly and smiled."Everyone, there's no need to argue. Let the Thunder King and Heavenly King of suppression settle their own matters! The Li family and the Xiao family are both families that have contributed greatly to humanity. No one can deny this.
Therefore, there was no need to mention the traitor.
In addition, senior Sword King and the others ... Dying would be a tragedy for humanity, and humanity would remember it, but there was no need to vent their anger on others.
Seniors, please remind me not to hurt our harmony because of this. We have been living together for more than three hundred years, and the unity is the key to our prosperity. "
When Fang ping said this, everyone stopped talking about this matter.
At this moment, Fang ping had also arrived at the door of the meeting hall. He looked at the sculptures and said softly,"Fang Ping's visit to star suppression city this time is mainly for the myriad origin Palace. Of course, I'm not taking it away, but to check some things. "
If there was still a peak here, Fang ping would have moved it away.
Since the peak Master was not here, he had to be polite, in case people thought that he was bullying others and taking the treasure by force, which would cause panic in the star suppression city.
As they were talking, the regional wall trembled slightly, and soon, someone entered star suppression city.
In the distance, su Haoran and a few others quickly rushed over.
From a distance, su Haoran laughed,""Fang ping ... No, I have to call him the human King. Welcome, human King. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"
"Senior is too polite!"
Fang ping cupped his hands slightly and smiled. His line of sight didn't fall on su Haoran, but on Jiang Hao. He smiled and said,"Brother Jiang is amazing! It's only been a short while, and you've actually advanced to the eighth-grade fifth refined. I think the sixth refined is not far away, and the ninth-grade is just around the corner!
It seems that brother Jiang will be the first one in his generation to reach level nine in Star Town City!"
Jiang Hao was still as elegant as before, with a long sword at his waist and a smile on his face, like a spring breeze.
He had always been like this, even when he was killing.
Hearing Fang Ping's words, Jiang Hao chuckled and said,"Even if he's a rank-9, he's still far from brother Fang! In this world of war, if you don't reach the peak, you're still an ant ..."
As he said that, su Haoran laughed,"Jiang Hao is also well-prepared now. I think rank-9 is coming soon. It's not impossible for him to reach Paragon. It seems that the Jiang family may soon have a second absolute nightmare realm."
Su Haoran was quite satisfied with Jiang Hao. In fact, he still had some thoughts in his mind. His granddaughter su Zisu ... Would she like to be a couple with Jiang Hao?
However, he quickly dismissed the idea. He would rather have his granddaughter and Jiang Chao be a couple.
He was also very worried about his own granddaughter.
Jiang Chao was still fine, he was afraid of death ... Although he was despised by others, at least he didn't have to make others worry.
Although Jiang Hao was strong, he was also known as a pervert. When he killed people, he was like a spring breeze, causing people to panic.
Moreover, he had been constantly fighting with powerhouses recently, and he might die in the catacombs one day. Jiang Chao was more reliable.
Su Haoran complimented him and said,"Previously, the house of guardians in the North wanted to appoint Jiang Hao as the Deputy envoy of the house of guardians. Jiang Hao said that he was not willing to go unless he had reached rank-9. Fang ping ... Human King, what do you think about this matter? can we discuss it?"
Fang ping laughed."The northern House of guardians ... The Guardian of the northern House of guardians, senior Shen Haotian, has entered the heavenly tomb. The head of the Shen family, Shen Mingwei, has been seriously injured this time. I heard that the northern House of guardians is in a bit of a mess right now. There's no one to lead the garrison Army ...
You're letting Jiang Hao go because you want to lead the northern Garrison?"
There were many people in the star suppression city of the East and North guardians 'residences.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, the Deputy Guardian was a person from Star Town City. Zhang Tao and the others didn't care about this. When the two Guardian's houses were established, it was to let the people from Star Town City come out.
The Li family's people mainly went to the military department. When the other families left the mountain, most of them went to the two Guardian's houses.
The older generation in Star Town had their own tasks, and Jiang Hao was an outstanding figure among the younger generation. He was qualified to be the Deputy Guardian of the North Guardian mansion and lead The Guardian Army.
"I don't think I'm qualified to be a Deputy Guardian before I'm a rank-9. I'm young and used to acting alone ..." Jiang Hao interrupted.
Su Haoran laughed,"that's fine. Young ... Now is the era of the young!" Do you expect us old things to advance by leaps and bounds? You guys have more potential!"
Su Haoran still strongly supported him to go. Jiang Hao's recent performance was extremely excellent, and everyone was quite pleased with it.
Although Star Town City was now one with the human race, they still hoped that the two houses of guardians would be under their control.
On the side of the eastern Guardian residence, Chen Qi was now the acting Guardian. Chen Qi had previously worked in the Department of sky and was considered Fang Ping's subordinate. Now, the eastern Guardian residence might be considered under the control of the Department of sky.
The old men in star suppression city were not willing to give up the North Guardian mansion.
It was obvious that the older generation would take on the role of Deputy Guardian. It was better for the younger generation.
As the two of them conversed, Fang ping smiled without saying a word and continued to look at the sculpture.
After the two talked for a while, he smiled and said,""Then let's wait for the decision of the house of guardians in the North, and then report it to the four ministries and four houses for discussion. There are some things that I can decide, but I still have to go through the process. "
Everyone nodded in agreement. Since Fang ping had said so, the matter was settled.
Fang ping laughed lightly again."Master Chen's injuries are not light. He has not fully recovered yet. Brother Jiang has broken through to rank-9. I think Master Chen is interested in letting brother Jiang be The Guardian of the North. What do you think, brother Jiang?"
Jiang Hao laughed."I don't have much time to think about this. Besides, I don't know when I'll break through rank-9."
"Is that so?"
Fang ping laughed."It should be soon. At most three months, at least one month. Brother Jiang, you don't have to be humble in front of me."
Jiang Chao was surprised to hear that."That's fast. Fang ping, Are you sure?"
The freak was actually about to break through rank-9?
It had only been a few days!
When they went to the Emperor's Tomb, the two brothers had entered level eight together. He was only level eight first refined. How could he be a level nine?
Fang ping nodded with a smile, but Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I'm not even sure myself, brother Fang is ..."
"I'm good at judging people. "
Fang ping laughed and said,"let's go to the ten thousand origin Palace to take a look. I still have something to do after you're done. I have to settle it immediately. There's no need to be so polite."
Su Haoran didn't say anything after hearing this. He quickly took the lead and led everyone to the canyon where the ten thousand origin Palace was located.
At this moment, Fang ping said to Jiang Hao,""Brother Jiang is the Vice protector of the North and has to go to Shanghai to report. I have something to give brother Jiang. I'll be waiting for you in Shanghai in a few days."
"Alright, I'm looking forward to your gift," Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Fang ping laughed and did not say anything else.
They had arrived at the valley where the myriad origin Hall was located.
