Heavenly Palace Realm!
Tushita Palace!
Wang Xiong looked at Hou Yi in front of him.
"How is it?" Wang Xiong asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I have been back and forth to the Western Heavenly Territory many times. This time, the Young Master is not even willing to see me!" Hou Yi smiled bitterly.
Hou Yi had been back and forth many times. Last time, he came back to the Ghost Valley Pure Land's Emperor Order Banquet and shocked the Daluo Jinxian with his magic arrows. However, not long after, he went to the Western Heavenly Territory again.
Hou Yi was sent by Wang Xiong to protect Ji Niannian. In the battle of Phoenix Mountain, Hou Yi was not present, because it was related to Phoenix Mountain, and Hou Yi could not follow.
However, in the battle of Phoenix Mountain, Hou Yi finally saw some clues.
Ji Niannian was His Majesty's son, and he went to protect the Young Master.
Later, Ji Niannian also knew the situation. Hou Yi tried to contact him many times, but was rejected by Ji Niannian, so he could not see Ji Niannian at all.
"Oh?
He still blames me? "Wang Xiong frowned.
Hou Yi smiled bitterly: "I don't know!"
Wang Xiong frowned, and he was very annoyed at the moment. Ji Niannian was his son?
In the past six months, Wang Xiong did not know how to deal with it. Now it seemed that his son actually had a prejudice against him?
For a moment, Wang Xiong did not know how to face Zhou Tianyin.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Emperor Xian Of Qin and Yao Ji have returned to the Jade Pool Continent!
And the Western Qin Celestial Court has officially opened the road of expansion! "Hou Yi took a deep breath and said.
"Huh?
Yao Ji is not dead, but still alive? "Wang Xiong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked up at Hou Yi.
He had heard clearly about Yao Ji's suicide that day, and when Yao Ji died, he had a feeling that she should be dead. But why was Yao Ji still alive?
"Fake?
Phoenix Patriarch had someone impersonate him! "Wang Xiong said with a dark expression.
"Your Majesty, I've observed the new Yao Ji from afar for a while. Although her aura is exactly the same as Yao Ji's, I have a feeling that …!" Hou Yi said with an ugly expression.
"What did you discover?" Wang Xiong looked at Hou Yi.
"Queen Mother Of West!
I can't forget the aura that was released at that time. It was the Queen Mother Of West who gave me the fake Elixir of Immortality at the end of the Second Era! "Hou Yi's face was filled with hatred.
"Oh?" Wang Xiong revealed a trace of surprise.
Hou Yi's eyes were filled with certainty.
Wang Xiong frowned and thought for a while. "The current time corresponds to the ancient time. In other words, even if the current Emperor Xian Of Qin uses his Fate Wheel, he can't go to the end of the Second Era. That is the Queen Mother Of West who transmigrated before Yao Ji. At that time, I gave the last Fate Wheel to Zhou Gonggong."
"Zhou Tianyin?" Wang Xiong's pupils suddenly shrank.
In an instant, all of Wang Xiong's doubts were resolved.
Zhou Tianyin was the first to transmigrate to the Queen Mother Of West. Moreover, Yao Ji had asked Di Jun to leave a True Phoenix Portrait beside the True Dragon Portrait. He and Zhou Tianyin had obtained it together.
Zhou Tianyin was the reincarnation of Yao Ji?
Wang Xiong's expression changed drastically. At this moment, Wang Xiong didn't know how to face Zhou Tianyin.
"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Hou Yi asked curiously.
Wang Xiong was silent for a while and shook his head. "Forget it. I don't need to worry about the safety there. You don't need to return to the Western Heavenly Territory. Next, follow the Eastern Qin Army and conquer the surrounding seven continents!"
"Yes!" Hou Yi answered.
"Go, I'm going into seclusion!" Wang Xiong ordered.

Heavenly Palace Realm, in a hall of the Board of Rites not far from Lingxiao City.
Zhang Ru brought along a young man and looked at a cult leader who had allied with Eastern Qin not long ago.
"Father, you came to see me?
I was a hostage in Eastern Qin, but I didn't suffer. My cultivation was sealed, but I can travel around and learn Confucianism from Lord Zhang Ru. Lord Zhang Ru is very attentive to me, and I learned many principles that I didn't understand in the past! "The young man bowed to the cult leader and said with a smile.
"It's good that you're fine!" The cult leader smiled bitterly.
"Shingen Jiaozhu, with His Majesty's orders, how could we abuse your son?" Zhang Ru said with a smile.
Shingen Jiaozhu turned his head to look at Zhang Ru with a complicated expression.
His son came to be a hostage and Zhang Ru taught him Confucianism, but Shingen Jiaozhu didn't feel grateful at all. He felt that Zhang Ru was deliberately brainwashing his son.
"Lord Zhang, you used our children to threaten those Emperor Xian and the cult leaders to listen to you and fight for Eastern Qin?
Now, you're using my son to threaten me to fight for the Zhen Wu Earth Continent? "Shingen Jiaozhu said coldly.
"Eastern Qin is the leader of the alliance, and there are many forces in the Zhen Wu Earth Continent who want to harm His Majesty. There are even letters to prove it. Isn't this a fact?
They want to deal with Eastern Qin and murder our Emperor Xian of Eastern Qin. Why can't Eastern Qin fight back?
Those forces are close to your True Mystic Sanctuary. Did His Majesty make things difficult for you by asking you to help?
Do you know that you promised to obey His Majesty's orders that day? After opening up the territory, Eastern Qin and your True Mystic Sanctuary will split the territory equally. You didn't lose anything!
You even expanded your territory! "Zhang Ru said with a smile.
"However, it's my True Mystic Sanctuary that is sending troops. You're just cooperating. Those Immortal Courts and Sanctuary will blame it on us if we attack them. You, Eastern Qin, only care about taking benefits. In the end, won't we have to face the anger of all sides?
We're just a Sanctuary. What can we rely on? "Shingen Jiaozhu said angrily.
"Eastern Qin is your reliance. If you can't win, Eastern Qin will definitely send troops to help you!
Heavenly Arrow Camp and Heavenly Corpse Group are already on standby! "Zhang Ru said Solemnly.
Shingen Jiaozhu was still angry. He looked at Zhang Ru with red eyes, "You, you're forcing me. You're forcing my True Mystic Sanctuary to a dead end. In the end, I have no choice but to rely on you and submit to you!"
"Shingen Jiaozhu, you're the one who chose this path. That day, if it wasn't for His Majesty's ruthless methods, my Eastern Qin Heaven Palace would have already been destroyed by you, right?
Hmph, His Majesty spared your life, but you're blaming His Majesty. Who's the one who's so insatiable! "Zhang Ru's expression also turned cold.
Shingen Jiaozhu clenched his fists.
The fourteen major forces were now following Wang Xiong's orders and sending troops to their respective continents. Eastern Qin didn't need to send troops to gain a large territory. This Eastern Qin alliance and Eastern Qin Heaven Palace had become the biggest winner.
Driving the wolf to swallow the tiger and reaping the benefits of the fisherman?
Shingen Jiaozhu was unwilling. This was squeezing out his Sanctuary and making a wedding dress for Eastern Qin.
Turning his head to look at his son and then at Zhang Ru, whose cultivation wasn't high, Shingen Jiaozhu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, as if he wanted to seize his son, capture Zhang Ru, and tear up the alliance.
Just as Shingen Jiaozhu's mind was constantly changing with evil thoughts, a stooped, one-eyed old man behind Zhang Ru suddenly said, "Cough, cough, cough, Zhenwu Continent, Shingen Jiaozhu?
You're Zhenwu Emperor's disciple, aren't you? "
"Hmm?
Who are you? "Shingen Jiaozhu glared.
Zhang Ru wasn't afraid of Shingen Jiaozhu because Zhang Ru had the Haotian Mirror. Unexpectedly, the old servant behind him suddenly spoke.
"I have a token of Zhenwu Emperor here. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I still remember that Zhenwu Emperor personally handed it to my master. He said that as long as my master gave the order, I would immediately obey!" The stooped, one-eyed old man took out a token with a turtle and snake pattern.
"Zhenwu Turtle and Snake Token?
There's a cultivation method of Grandmaster in it! "Shingen Jiaozhu suddenly exclaimed.
"Master, my memory isn't good. I barely remember this token, but I don't know if it's useful. Master, please handle it!" The stooped, one-eyed old man said respectfully.
Zhang Ru took it and turned to look at Shingen Jiaozhu.
Shingen Jiaozhu's breathing quickened.
"Zhenwu Turtle and Snake Token?
Do you want it very much? "Zhang Ru asked curiously.
Shingen Jiaozhu's eyes changed. He wanted to say no, but his expression just now had completely revealed it. How could he hide it?
"Shingen Jiaozhu, I'll give this token to your son to comprehend. What do you think?" Zhang Ru said with a smile.
Shingen Jiaozhu looked at Zhang Ru in surprise. He thought that Zhang Ru was going to threaten him, but now he was playing it down?
However, when Shingen Jiaozhu looked at the stooped, one-eyed old man again, he didn't dare to look down on this place anymore. Even with his Daluo Jinxian's cultivation, he didn't notice when the stooped, one-eyed old man came.
He wasn't here just now. When did he come?
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Shingen Jiaozhu's back.
"Thank you, Lord Zhang!" Shingen Jiaozhu said with a bitter smile.
"You don't have to worry about me teaching your son bad. This batch of hostages, some learned Confucianism from me, some learned Dharma from Lord Han, some learned business from Lord Nangong, and some learned formations and mechanisms from Lord Lu. I'm not trying to brainwash your children, but to teach them some real skills. Since they're your beloved children, we naturally won't deliberately teach them bad. His Majesty values them very much. If it's possible in the future, he will put them in an important position!" Zhang Ru explained.
"I misunderstood!" Shingen Jiaozhu said with a bitter smile. "You don't have to worry about me teaching your son bad.
"I'll let your son comprehend this True Martial Turtle Snake Token, so don't even think about it. Every month, I'll allow you to teach your son for a few days. It's not like you're imprisoning him. My East Qin is extremely lenient towards hostages, so I hope that the True Xuan Sect's Sect Leader won't have any more grievances. East Qin is indeed expanding. It's not that I can't do it without you, but I don't want to waste too much time. Otherwise, with your strength, how long can you hold East Qin back for?"
Shingen Jiaozhu was silent for a while. Indeed, his Sanctuary was far inferior to the Earthly Immortal Court. But wasn't Chiyou destroyed by Eastern Qin?
If Eastern Qin took revenge that day and sent troops to his Sanctuary, it wouldn't take much effort.
It would just be a waste of time.
"Lord Zhang, don't worry. Next, I'll fully cooperate with Eastern Qin's expansion in the Zhenwu Earth Continent!" Shingen Jiaozhu finally sighed.
"Good!" Zhang Ru nodded.

In the Tushita Palace.
Wang Xiong was in seclusion.
As he opened his mouth, Wang Xiong spat out a ghost. That ghost was none other than Chi, who was killed by Wang Xiong more than half a year ago.
Chi's soul?
Moreover, it was a soul whose cultivation had been destroyed.
"Emperor Dong Hua, I've said what I should say. From ancient times until now, I, I've always been an errand boy for Xuan Nu. I don't know many things in the world. This is all I know!" Chi knelt in front of Wang Xiong in horror.
Anyone killed by Wang Xiong, if their soul was not broken, would be absorbed by the White Tiger Soul. This was the terrifying effect of the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait.
After half a year, Wang Xiong had learned too much about ancient matters through the mouth of the Chi.
Wang Xiong believed that if he returned to ancient times, he would definitely be ahead of countless people.
"What you said about ancient times is still useful to me. Now, the last question, this Dao Fruit, I feel my own aura. Where did it come from?" Wang Xiong turned his hand, and a scarlet Dao Fruit appeared in his palm.
