Chapter 307 The Eternal Emperor

In a private room of an inn in Xingping County.

Jiang Chengdao sat opposite an extremely ordinary-looking young man wearing linen clothes.

Facing the majestic Holy King, it would be a lie to say that there was no pressure at all.

Although the young man's face looked calm on the surface, his hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched, his breathing was faster than normal, and his body was tense. Obviously, he could not completely avoid the powerful pressure that Jiang Chengdao unconsciously exuded.

"alright."

Jiang Chengdao raised his hand, supporting the side of his face with one hand, and placed the other hand on the table in front of him. He tapped the table back and forth with his five fingers wearing gauntlets, making a series of soft sounds with a strong rhythm.

"Let's stop talking, Holy Envoy Qiu, didn't you say that His Highness, Holy King Qingxuan, has something important to discuss with me? Where are the others?"

Qiu Ming swallowed and cupped his hands towards Jiang Chengdao.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he suddenly reached into his arms and took out a jade green dragon token engraved with countless inscriptions. Then he suddenly closed his hands and put the green dragon token on his chest, muttering something in his mouth.

Uh-huh!

As the Holy Realm's unique spell was activated, the Green Dragon Order gradually disappeared, and a layer of green light film emerged on the surface of Qiu Ming's body, covering his entire body in just a moment.

"oh?"

Jiang Chengdao observed the changes on Qiu Ming's body with great interest, but there was not much surprise under his mask.

"Is it the spirit summoning technique unique to Saint King Qingxuan?"

Obviously, he is very familiar with this technique.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Ming put down his hand, opened his eyes at the same time, and met Jiang Chengdao's eyes.

At this time, his expression was extremely calm, and his movements were natural, without any of the nervousness or embarrassment he had just now, as if he had become a different person.

After a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Long time no see, Holy King Cangming."

The words he spoke, whether in tone, timbre, or aura, were completely different from those just now.

Jiang Chengdao's expression remained as usual.

"Long time no see, Holy King Qingxuan."

That's right, Saint King Qingxuan.

One of the four great sage kings of Central Continent, the master of Qingxuan Realm, and like Jiang Chengdao, he is the strongest person standing at the pinnacle of tens of millions of creatures in Central Continent.

Although Qiu Ming still looks like Qiu Ming on the outside, he is one of the few beings who can be on an equal footing with Jiang Chengdao on the inside.

It is extremely rare for the Holy King to meet outside the Holy Realm. It has only happened once in the countless years of Central Continent.

Jiang Chengdao personally poured a cup of tea for Saint King Qingxuan.

Saint King Qingxuan looked at his visor and spoke again: "After so many years, you still don't want to see people with your true face. I am a little curious about your identity before you were selected by Jiuyou to become the Saint King. ? Why have you hidden it until now?”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao narrowed his eyes slightly under his mask and asked instead: "You specially sent Qiu Ming to look for me, and you spent a lot of time using his body to use the spirit summoning technique to find me, just to ask about my past. His identity?"

"of course not."

Saint King Qingxuan said calmly: "This is just a random question from me on a whim. If you don't want to say it, just leave it alone."

Jiang Chengdao shrugged his shoulders.

"Let's get down to business."

He obviously had no intention of continuing the conversation on the topic of identity, but straight to the point: "I wonder why you are looking for me?"

The meeting of the Holy Kings was a huge event in itself.

Even if it is not outside the holy realm.

After all, no holy king would go to other holy realms to chat.

Therefore, the moment Jiang Chengdao finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became extremely serious.

Saint King Qingxuan pondered for a while before speaking: "Saint King Cangming, before getting down to business, can you tell me why you serve the Emperor of Great Xia wholeheartedly? For this reason, you even did not hesitate to mobilize more than half of the Holy Realm. The combat power was so great that the evil-suppressing formation was loosened, almost causing a catastrophe. "

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Before he could speak, Holy King Qingxuan added: "Although the Supreme One has the qualifications to command the Holy King, as far as I know, before you intervene, she is just a powerless puppet emperor who will be deposed soon. She has no ability to force us to obey orders, and we have no obligation to serve her.”

At this point, he paused for no reason.

Then, his eyes suddenly condensed and he stared into Jiang Chengdao's eyes solemnly.

"As Holy Kings, our duty is to maintain the evil-suppressing formation built by the saints with supreme holy power, suppress all the evil spirits in the formation, completely eliminate the possibility of them causing harm to the world, and ensure the peace of Central Continent. , As for the chaos and changes in the Central Plains dynasty, what does it have to do with us? "

"Could it be that you have forgotten the mission and important responsibilities that we shoulder?"

Jiang Chengdao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I will never forget the saint's legacy, nor will I dare to forget it. Otherwise, Jiuyou would have abandoned me long ago."

Hearing what he said, Holy King Qingxuan immediately said: "In that case, why not withdraw the troops and return to the Holy Realm as soon as possible before it causes a catastrophe and the emperor has not accomplished anything?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao smiled.

"So it turns out that Holy King Qingxuan came here this time to persuade me not to get involved in secular affairs anymore and to withdraw my troops back to the Holy Realm to ensure the stability of the formation."

"So be it."

Saint King Qingxuan did not deny it.

"The four holy realms are related to the safety and fate of hundreds of millions of people in Zhongzhou. There is no room for error. If the Cangming realm is lost, the other three realms will not be able to protect the formation even if they are as solid as a rock. If countless ancient evil spirits completely break through the evil-suppressing formation, Zhongzhou will face a catastrophe in an instant. Compared with this, the secular dynasty is insignificant. Why should we care? What's more."

Da.

The teacup fell on the wooden dining table with a muffled sound.

"The advent of the Supreme is not a good thing for Zhongzhou. Cangming Saint King, you must not forget that ten thousand years ago, the so-called eternal emperor, the First Emperor, brought such a cruel disaster to the people of the world after receiving the full support of the four saint kings."

"Behind his extraordinary achievements, there are countless bones. You are working so hard for the Emperor of Daxia. Aren't you afraid that after she is fully grown, the catastrophe ten thousand years ago will happen again?"

Just as the conversation between the two saint kings that determined the future fate of Daxia was on track.

Xipingfang, Ward No. 7, Jiazi.

Lu Chen frowned, looking at Cangyue lying unconscious on the bed, his face inexplicably ugly.

"That is to say."

He turned his head and looked at Liu Ruowei and Li Yue who were operating the instrument with both hands.

"Although the source of the blood plague in her body has been removed, the symptoms have gradually disappeared, and she has not been infected with the blood plague again, but because her body has been severely eroded by the blood plague, her spiritual veins have been greatly damaged and almost exhausted, and her internal organs have also been damaged to varying degrees, and she cannot heal herself?"

Liu Ruowei nodded.

She hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Chengwan standing next to Lu Chen inexplicably, and then said: "Yes, Lord Lu, according to my experience, in order to completely cure this girl, we must use natural materials and treasures to nourish and repair her spiritual veins, and we must also use precious medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum to restore the injuries of her internal organs."

When discussing the condition of the blood plague, Jiang Chengwan would not interrupt her at this time no matter how much she disliked Liu Ruowei.

Right and wrong, serious and minor, still need to be distinguished.

After listening to Liu Ruowei's story, she understood it almost immediately.

Simply put, it's about money.

It can definitely be cured. After all, the biggest threat, the blood plague, has been killed by Lu Chendao, and the rest is just healing.

It sounds like healing is much simpler than curing a disease, but. Can Liu Ruowei specifically mention it, small money?

The court spent such a huge price to save a small warrior who may not even be considered a casual cultivator?

Is it worth it?

Well, if there is only one girl, Ah Chou, it's fine. Although the current treasury is still not very sufficient, this little money is still nothing.

However, she is not the only one infected with the blood plague.

The number of people infected with the blood plague in Xipingfang is increasing every day. Even many soldiers of Qingningwei have been infected, not to mention ordinary people.

At this rate, it is estimated that in another day, this temporary control area that can accommodate tens of thousands of people will be full.

Even if the resources needed for a single ordinary person to heal are not many, the total consumption is extremely terrifying. Even if Jiang Chengwan is so generous and directly gives all the silver in the treasury to Lu Chen to spend, it may not be able to fill this hole.

It is also for this reason that now that it has been verified that surgical removal of the diseased tissue in the patient's body can stop the blood plague from eroding the human body, Lu Chen's heart is still hanging.

It can be saved, but the cost is too high.

There are tens of thousands of households in Xingping County. Who knows how much resources will be consumed to treat all these people.

At least enough to fight a medium-to-large-scale battle. Such a huge amount of resources is used to treat the people. In the eyes of most people, it is a complete loss and meaningless.

This is Liu Ruowei, or the biggest dilemma currently encountered by the Qingnang Bureau.

On one side are countless people tortured by the blood plague, and on the other side is the treasury that is stretched to the bottom. She doesn't know what the empress, whose foundation is not stable, will choose. All she can do is raise the issue. As for whether to save them or not, and how to choose, that is the court's business.

Jiang Chengwan did not respond immediately, but looked at Lu Chen.

"Lu Qing, what do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen replied in a deep voice: "Let's save those infected people first."

I'm still busy today, so I'll update so much first, and try to update the rest tomorrow after I finish my work.
