Chapter 217

To a certain extent, for the warriors in Central China, the collapse of the Great Xia Dynasty and the transformation of Yujing City into Luoyang City may have a blow to the morale of the people, but it is still not enough to change the sky.

To be precise, the demon emperor killed the sword emperor, showing his strength far beyond the past, and then commanded the demon sect to sweep away the alien races and swept across China. It may have touched everyone more than the collapse of the Xia Dynasty.

But even so, in the hearts of those who are unwilling to succumb to the Demon Cult, hope is still not shattered.

The last hope lies in the Jiange, in the Sword Emperor Tao Wangji.

He has been famous for decades and has always been the number one master of the righteous way in China.

That small attic located in the remote mountains of Bazhou has been the number one holy place of martial arts in Middle-earth China for so many years, and it is the mainstay in everyone's mind.

It seems that as long as the Jiange is still there, there is still hope for everything.

Even though the demonic atmosphere in front of him is overwhelming, there is still an opportunity to set things right.

The reason why it is said that the Demon Emperor's killing of the Sword Emperor was a greater blow to people's confidence than the Demon Emperor's destruction of the Xia Dynasty was that the Demon Emperor showed stronger strength than when he fought against the Sword Emperor in the past.

But as the last lit candle in their hearts, everyone is more willing to save a glimmer of hope, hoping that after the decisive battle on the plateau, Tao Wangji, the Emperor of Swords, will also make great progress like the Emperor of Demons.

In this way, there is still a chance to compete again and compete for victory.

Therefore, even though all the clothes and horses in the vast land of Shenzhou are completely mute, everyone is trembling under the rule of the demon sect.

But there is still hope hidden in many people's hearts.

For this kind of mentality, the high-ranking powerhouses of the Demon Cult have a clear understanding of it.

Chen Luoyang's opinion on this is...

Li Yuanlong, Emperor Xia, is indeed a bit embarrassing to be the Ninth Five-Year Zun, no wonder he has deliberately planned to hold back his appearance.

If one were to find a person in Shenzhou Haotu who had the most complex perception of Sword Emperor Tao Wangji, it would probably be Li Yuanlong.

On the one hand, he borrowed the power of the other party to help him fight against alien races in the north and block the demon sect in the south.

On the other hand, as long as the other party is around, he is not the one who counts the most.

I am afraid that only Li Yuanlong himself knows the taste of this.

Strictly speaking, Sword Emperor Tao Wangji and Jiange, compared to their prestige, have a very low-key style of dealing with things, and they show great respect to Xia Chao and Li Yuanlong.

To a certain extent, it creates a situation where Emperor Xia is always the co-lord of Shenzhou, and Emperor Jian is more like a spiritual pillar.

But alas, for emperors, broad-mindedness only applies to those who submit to them.

The more ambitious the emperor, the more so.

Of course, there are some differences from person to person.

Unfortunately, Li Yuanlong's ambition and desire to rule may be particularly strong in this regard.

Perhaps, Tao Wangji, the Sword Emperor, died first, and Li Yuanlong died later, so he would have a different feeling before he died.

But that is destined to be just an unverifiable hypothesis.

But for the current Shenzhou Haotu, the Great Xia Dynasty has collapsed, and the Sword Emperor is still in the world, so everything has not yet fallen to the worst.

In many people's hearts, there is still hope.

But this time, that confidence seemed to have been shaken.

Jiange was directly demolished by the Demon Sect.

Although Lao Shou didn't know the true purpose of his leader's seeking the Sword Emperor, he accurately grasped Chen Dajiao's main intention to make things known to the world.

Therefore, no matter whether he went to Jiange to take off the license, or left Jiange for the East China Sea with the plaque on his shoulders, he was extremely high-profile along the way.

From Bashu to Penglai, all the way across the middle land.

The incident was so uproar that almost everyone knew about it.

Not to mention martial arts practitioners, even some secular people who like to be lively know about this.

As a result, the entire vast land of Shenzhou soon boiled up.

Although under the majesty of the Demon Cult, no one dared to object or question, but there was inevitably a lot of discussion.

Everyone is guessing, what exactly is the Demon Cult's intention for this move?

Does this action mean that the Sword Emperor is going to return to Middle Earth?

And the Demon Emperor's actions are a challenge to the Sword Emperor?

After a month, is there going to be another decisive battle between the Sword Emperor and the Demon Emperor?

While everyone has different opinions, some people have extremely complicated emotions.

It is of course a great thing for the Sword Emperor to return to Middle Earth, and he has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

But the Demon Emperor's reaction, taking the initiative to fight, showed sufficient confidence, which made everyone feel uncertain about the outcome of this duel, worrying about gains and losses.

Many people's mood at the moment is really mixed.

At this moment, in the center of the land of Shenzhou, outside Luoyang City in Yuzhou, there is a middle-aged man looking towards the east.

There, Lao Shou just left with a high profile.

The middle-aged man looked calm and kept silent.

He touched his right arm with his left hand.

There, instead of a right hand, there was a broken wound at the wrist.

The wound has healed, but the middle-aged man feels as if it is constantly twitching, and there is a sharp pain.

This pain reminded him of the time when his wrist was pinched by the closed void portal in his mind.

The middle-aged man did not change his face, and walked slowly, as if nothing had happened, and walked into Luoyang City.

…………

After hearing what Lao Shou had done, Chen Luoyang nodded in satisfaction.

This is exactly what he wanted to achieve.

On the one hand, it is convenient for that guy named Cheng Huyuan to hear the news.

On the other hand, it also made Sword Emperor Tao Wangji unavoidable, so he had to fight this battle.

As long as his injuries are not serious, it is impossible for him to refuse this battle.

No matter how low-key, no matter how decent, no matter how peaceful, he is also a strong swordsman in the fourteenth realm, and the number one swordsman in China for decades.

Faced with such a provocation with no serious injuries, if he didn't take up the fight, then he wouldn't even use a sword in the future.

But that Cheng Huyuan, will he take the bait?

On the contrary, Chen Luoyang was more uncertain about this.

The opponent may wait another wave.

This time the Demon Emperor fought against the Sword Emperor, but they still stood still.

Anyway, the Demon Buddha is always there, and the Black Lotus Buddha Realm keeps encroaching on the surrounding area. Sooner or later, the Demon Cult will have a battle with them.

If this Cheng Huyuan was particularly conservative, he might still observe secretly this time.

Chen Luoyang still had limited understanding of this person's temperament and style, so he could only infer and guess based on some previous behaviors.

If the owner of the severed hand was really Cheng Huyuan, then whether his hatred for Chen Luoyang would affect his judgment would depend on the character of the other party, which may have completely opposite results.

Judging from his current performance, Chen Luoyang tended to estimate that the other party would act more cautiously.

This time in the battle with the Sword Emperor, it may not be possible to catch the opponent to attack.

However, as long as he can be caught watching the battle, for Chen Luoyang, his goal will be achieved.

The more cautious the other party was, the less he would let go of this opportunity to confirm with his own eyes the strength of Master Chen.

While thinking about it, Chen Luoyang received a secret report from Qinglong Palace.

In Luoyang City, traces of unidentified masters appeared.

After Chen Luoyang received the news, his expression did not change.

Interesting, is this Cheng Huyuan also trying to make a fool of himself?

Chen Luoyang guessed that the other party wanted to test him what Master Chen cared about and what he didn't care about.

So far, the Demon Emperor has given the outside world the impression that he is arrogant, self-respecting, domineering, and ruthless.

It is very dignified within the Devil's Cult, and its subordinates dare not make mistakes, otherwise they may be severely punished.

From the current emotional point of view, except for Ying Qingqing who seemed to be suspicious at the beginning, outsiders can't see who the Demon Emperor cares about or favors.

However, Ying Qingqing is still missing right now, and her whereabouts are unknown.

After Cheng Huyuan understood these situations, he would inevitably form an impression of Chen Luoyang as an independent husband.

It is obviously unrealistic for such a person to expect him to pay the price of the word "sheng" in the heavenly scriptures in exchange for someone's life.

Hostage threat, no suitable target.

If there is a trade-off between the word "birth" and something, maybe the entire foundation of the Devil's religion can be counted?

But to destroy the Devil's Cult, one or two places are not enough.

There was no point in slaughtering the past all the way, and it was easy for Chen Luoyang to find and intercept him like that.

Now Cheng Huyuan is deliberately probing, wanting to see what Chen Luoyang cares about, and to what extent he cares.

However, if he is really a cautious person, he will not make a move easily, at most, he will touch and leave like a superficial touch.

He was also worried that some things were traps deliberately set up by Chen Luoyang to lure the enemy into the bait.

In Cheng Huyuan's mind, his biggest advantage now is that the enemy is clear and the enemy is dark. Chen Luoyang may already know that there is such an enemy as him, but he has no way of understanding him.

As long as you are careful, you will be fine.

If he showed a little bit of false flaws, the Devil's Cult would react and become tense, making it easier for him to observe the movement.

It's a pity that the facts are a little bit different from his ideas.

It's true that Chen Luoyang didn't know much about him, but it wasn't that little either.

Cheng Huyuan's small actions fell into Chen Luoyang's eyes, but made his thoughts more and more obvious.

Relatively speaking, he knew the least about his strength and martial arts background... Chen Luoyang thought about it.

It's an interesting scene right now.

On Cheng Huyuan's side, he has generally been able to grasp the opponent's movements and thoughts, but he knows nothing about the unique skills he is good at.

The descendants of Demon and Buddha have a general understanding of their unique skills, but other information is blank.

The black lotus Buddha realm is obviously weird, the minds of the people under the black lotus are not belonged to, it is difficult for the members of the Demon Cult to interrogate the news directly from the mouth, and they have to be careful not to expose themselves, or be bewitched by the magic sound. It is extremely difficult to obtain information in the Black Lotus Buddha Realm.

Chen Luoyang had no choice but to wait slowly.

But the latest news is quite intriguing.

The expansion of the Black Lotus Buddha Realm has slowed down.

Hei Lian's strength has not weakened, but her pace has slowed down.

This is more like a change in its decision-making. It is not as urgent and radical as before, but tends to be conservative and stable.

The turning point was the battle of Yan Mingkong.

Does this mean that Yan Mingkong's results exceeded his original judgment, or did the Mofo lineage change their minds?

Could it be that the news of the battle between the Demon Emperor and the Sword Emperor also spread, making the opponent also want to watch the fire from the other side?
