Chapter 469 The Beginning, 9 Ghostly Gods

Remember [new] in one second! The establishment of the Martial Arts Academy is not a good thing for the "nobles" of the Nine Kingdoms of Immortal Land.

These so-called nobles are not necessarily high-status people in power.

Because the inheritance lasted too long, more and more descendants were reproduced, and the majority of them were those with ordinary qualifications. Therefore, in many places today, there are "nobles" with ordinary status and little power.

These people usually occupy some minor official positions and are far from powerful, but after all they are "nobles" who can practice high-level martial arts. They still have a sense of superiority when facing ordinary people.

Therefore, the Martial Arts Academy was established in the royal city of Zhongdu. After the news spread that high-level martial arts would be spread throughout the world, the first people to jump in were not those with high status in power.

On the contrary, these "little nobles" who serve as small officials and officials can't sit still.

But no one dared to express their objections publicly.

No one goes to the top officials for help.

After all, it can be seen from the fact that this kind of information is not restricted and can be disseminated at will. Even the senior officials do not dare to criticize the affairs of the Martial Arts Academy.

You know, the peerless strong man who established the martial arts academy was named "Cui"!

Legend has it that this Cui Feng is the younger brother of Cui Qing, who almost destroyed the entire fairyland world before, and he also has the cultivation level of the twelfth realm of the true world, reaching the pinnacle.

Who dares to criticize this?

Unless you are tired of living!

However, these people do not have the courage to criticize the martial arts academy, but they have the courage to find excuses to abuse ordinary people, and they are very brave!

For a time, the number of ordinary people who violated local laws for various reasons and were arrested and imprisoned by petty officials increased rapidly.

Moreover, there are real evidences, laws to follow, traces to follow, and there are no problems.

The little nobles are busy making trouble for ordinary people and venting their emotions.

The great nobles gradually came back to their senses and felt that this matter might not be simple.

…

The capital of Wu State, within the palace of the king.

At this time, Fu Cheng, the leader of the Wu Kingdom, was discussing the martial arts academy with his cronies.

He looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a sad face.

The three people around him, Zhao Kang, Feng Taiying, and Zhou Mingyi, are all important ministers of the Wu Kingdom. They also have the cultivation of the eighth realm of the true world, and are strong men at the true immortal level.

On weekdays, Fu Cheng rarely summoned the three of them at the same time.

Now that these three people have gathered together at the same time, it is clear that the matter of the Martial Arts Academy is very serious in his heart.

"You three, what do you think about the martial arts academy in the Royal City of Zhongdu?" Fu Cheng asked the three of them straight to the point, without giving in. "I thought this was our doom."

"I think so too." Zhao Kang nodded and said in a deep voice, "As soon as the Martial Arts Academy is opened, the heads of the nine countries in Guizhou will all yearn for it. Over time, there will be no people in our country."

"Yes, this is a very serious matter." Feng Taiying said solemnly, "The number of people under our rule determines the depth of the land's communication with the fairy land in the outside world. If the number of people drops significantly, we may not be able to practice in the future. ”

"The most helpless thing is that we can't do anything at all." Zhou Mingyi sighed, "Not to mention that the founder of the Martial Arts Academy is himself a strong man in the twelfth realm of the true world. Behind him stands Cui Qing, we can’t afford to offend him.”

Cui Qing!

After the name was mentioned, the entire palace became quiet.

Everyone lowered their heads, feeling only a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Cui Qing's extremely terrifying power is still vivid in his mind. Even if the power of the entire Wu Kingdom is gathered, it is probably not as good as a hair of Cui Qing.

Resist?

It's just asking for death.

"This is the conspiracy of the Hongwu King." Fu Cheng shook his head slightly and sighed, "If this development continues, the number of people in the country will decrease, and it will be just a small matter that it will be difficult for us to practice.

"The real end is to wait millions of years, tens of millions of years later, when these people who go to the martial arts academy to practice martial arts grow up and become true immortals or even ultimate true immortals.

"When that time comes, will they let us go? Will they still let us manage them? Will they still obey our orders and build the country for us? I'm afraid not."

"Your Majesty is right." Zhao Kang said with a face full of resentment, "If these capitals of Guizhou are allowed to have channels to practice high-level martial arts, we will definitely be the ones who suffer in the end!

"Then what exactly does Cui Qing want to do? If he wants to deal with us, he can easily kill us with his strength, so why bother so much?"

"I think this matter has nothing to do with Cui Qing." Feng Taiying shook his head slightly and said, "After capturing the Immortal Lord and deposing the Human King, Cui Qing has not shown up.

"Cui Qing's cultivation level is too high. He came to us just for Hongwu. Now that Hongwu has settled down, he has probably left our fairyland world.

"If Cui Qing is still in Zhongdu Royal City, then he can solve all problems by himself, and there is no need for Cui Feng to come over to control the situation.

"This also means that the construction of the martial arts academy and the spread of martial arts were mostly the idea of ​​King Hongwu himself, and Cui Feng was just sent here to help.

"In other words, as long as we can convince King Hongwu or reach some agreement with King Hongwu, we should be able to eliminate this disaster."

"That makes sense!" Zhou Mingyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled, "The King of Hongwu wants to win over these lowly people, so he must have an unknown purpose.

"As long as we can find out his real purpose, we can start from this point to negotiate cooperation with him. Anyway, as long as we can help him achieve his goal, it will be fine."

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Fu Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The King of Hongwu is not an ordinary person, and Cui Qing is not an ordinary person either. Since he is doing this now, he must have thought it over carefully and must have obtained Cui Qing's approval.

"Although I don't understand what's the use of him winning over these people, since he has made such a decision, it is not something we can easily change."

"Your Majesty, we have to try it after all." Zhou Mingyi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, are we going to sit and wait for death?" Feng Taiying also persuaded.

"Your Majesty, we should give it a try." Zhao Kang said sincerely, "Whatever the purpose of the Hongwu King is, it is just the beginning now, and we may still have a chance to change it."

"..." Fu Cheng frowned and sighed, "What if the real purpose of the Hongwu King is to let those people replace us? Then there will be no room for negotiation."

"That's impossible." Zhao Kang shook his head repeatedly, "What good will this do for the Hongwu King? Those lowly people have no inheritance, and they don't know any secrets. The Hongwu King has no right to do anything. Why should we help them to replace us? "

"Your Majesty is worrying too much." Zhou Mingyi smiled and shook his head, "Hongwu Renwang has also cultivated all the way to the level of the True Realm. He himself does not belong to the common people, so how could he help those lowly people? This is unreasonable."

"That's true." Feng Taiying nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty is worrying too much. Hongwu Renwang has no reason to let those lowly people replace us.

"Moreover, the nine countries in the world have expressed their submission to him, and every ten years they will go to Zhongdu Wangcheng to report their achievements. This would not have happened in the previous era of the human king.

"From this point of view, the power of the Hongwu King to control this fairyland has reached its peak, unprecedented in history. Does he still want to destroy the existing nine countries and leave only himself?"

"It is impossible to do such a thing." Zhao Kang said in a deep voice, "Small countries like Chen and Liu may be abolished, but it is impossible to move the seven major countries like our Wu. Without us, who will help him manage this huge fairyland?"

"Your Majesty, we should indeed give it a try." Zhou Mingyi persuaded again, "At least find out what the Hongwu King wants to do first."

"..." Fu Cheng was silent again for a moment after hearing this, and finally slapped the table lightly, "Okay, let's check it out and find out Hongwu's purpose first. Remember to act secretly and never let anyone find out."

"Yes!" The three saluted in unison.

...

After finishing the conversation with Zhao Kang, Zhou Mingyi, and Feng Taiying.

Fu Cheng came to a secret room deep in the palace.

The floor of this secret room was painted with dense and complex runes.

Each rune symbolizes an extremely mysterious law, as if communicating with a secret place in the dark.

In the surrounding void, there are still blue flames floating, which make the dark secret room even more gloomy.

The whole secret room is arranged into a formation, or an altar.

Fu Cheng slowly walked to the center of the formation, and knelt down devoutly, with his fists clenched in front of his chest, his head lowered, and his expression solemn.

"Greetings to the Nine Nether Gods."

He bowed to the void, but did not get any response, only the blue flames were slightly jumping.

Fu Cheng waited for a while, but still did not get a response, so he prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully: "The new human king seems to be going to attack me. If the Wu Kingdom is destroyed, your whereabouts will also be exposed..."

Whoosh! !

At this time, gusts of cold wind suddenly appeared in the secret room, and the blue flames began to jump violently, as if they were responding more fiercely.

Fu Cheng didn't say anything, but bowed devoutly with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was listening to a voice.

After a while, the cold wind disappeared, the blue flame stopped beating, and the secret room became gloomy and quiet again.

When everything was back to normal, Fu Cheng finally stood up slowly. The sadness on his face had disappeared, replaced by a confident smile.

"As long as His power can really come here, let alone Hongwu and Cui Feng, even if Cui Qing comes in person, there is nothing to fear!"
