"I heard that the Heretic Alliance recently subdued the three forces that had just entered the Chinese world. There were three more true immortals, and they were very popular?" Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong, dressed in ordinary clothes, sitting cross-legged on the couch with his eyes closed, suddenly said.
In the empty and silent hall, even though Zhu Houcong's voice was very small, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of Lu Bing who was standing aside.
Not to mention that the practice has reached the point where it is today, if a true immortal has such sharp ears and eyes, it is nothing if he can't even catch such a voice. Let's just say that Lu Bing, as a loyal subordinate of the Jade Emperor, always obeys orders, how could this happen? Miss any of the Jade Emperor's will.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Heretic Alliance has indeed annexed the three forces recently, and with this general trend, it has expanded its territory in Xizhou, which is extremely majestic." Lu Bing bowed and replied.
According to common sense, Lu Bing is now a true immortal. Even if he was the guard of the Jade Emperor when he was the vassal king, he was regarded as the other party's domestic slave, so he would not be so humble.
You must know that although there are many true immortals in the world of China, they are not so luxurious that they need one true immortal to be a slave to another true immortal.
As a true immortal who has proven themselves, in addition to the extraordinary nature of their life, they also possess powerful strength, which is enough to bring them a strong status and identity.
No matter what their status was in the past, as long as any living being can prove the true immortality, it means that they have reached the pinnacle of heaven and earth. They are the smallest part among countless living beings. They can get the blessings of countless powerful people. Respect and look up to.
So now as Lu Bing, he can maintain his loyalty to the Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong and continue to maintain his respect for the Jade Emperor, but he will not behave in such a humble manner.
Actually, it was not the Jade Emperor who asked him to do this. When he became a true immortal, the Jade Emperor had already told him that his status was different and he did not need to be so humble. Just stay true to yourself.
But Lu Bing is still the same as before, maintaining his respect for the Jade Emperor as always, because he has his own ideas.
For him, he was just an ordinary guard of the Ming Empire. Even after he became the personal guard of the vassal king Zhu Houcong, he never thought about how much authority he would have. After all, the vassal king of the Ming Empire Everyone knows how much power they have, and they are considered lucky to be rich and wealthy throughout their lives.
However, no one thought that a person's rise is not only driven by his own efforts, but also driven by fate and the times.
With the fortunes of Zhu Houcong, who was once the vassal king, his rapid rise has undoubtedly made Lu Bing, as a personal guard, rise and improve all the way. In the end, he even achieved the true immortal path. This was something he couldn't even imagine.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs can only ascend to heaven. In Lu Bing's opinion, his legendary growth is actually slightly inferior to that of Pang Hong, the Heavenly Lord of the Thunder Department.
Such a great kindness was something that he would never be able to repay in his lifetime. How could he not be loyal to the Jade Emperor?
And his true immortal is different from ordinary true immortals. The Jade Emperor has put a lot of effort into his becoming a true immortal. Part of the reason for this trick is to use the power of heaven and The authority of the Jade Emperor reached this point.
It can be said that now he and the Jade Emperor both prosper and suffer. The two sides are completely bound together, so he respects the Jade Emperor even more, not because of his own strength. Changed by the slightest enhancement.
When the emperor asked about the recent situation of the Heretic Alliance, Lu Bing's first reaction was that he knew what the Jade Emperor was thinking.
You must know that the relationship between their side and the Heretic Alliance is not good. The hatred between the two parties has not changed even after ten thousand years. It is even said that these ten thousand years have not only failed to eliminate each other's hatred, On the contrary, it made it even more unforgettable.
"Emperor, do you want us to take action?" Lu Bing asked tentatively.
This is actually a difference in status. If it were other people, even if they were loyal subordinates of the Jade Emperor, they would not dare to directly test out what the Jade Emperor was thinking even if they guessed it.
Because the king's heart is unpredictable, it is a taboo to try to figure out the thoughts of the superior without authorization. To speak out such temptations is a great sin for any subordinate.
But it is different when it comes to Lu Bing. He is a close confidant and die-hard loyalist of the Jade Emperor. They even grew up as playmates, so it would be over the line to put it on someone else. From what Lu Bing said, the Jade Emperor was not dissatisfied at all, let alone angry.
He nodded, not caring that Lu Bing could see what he was thinking, because he was not prepared to hide his intentions.
"Yes!" Zhu Houcong nodded slightly to express his attitude.
Suppressing the heretical alliance was Zhu Houcong's purpose, and he did not hide his intention to suppress the other party at all.
Over the years, his subordinates have taken several actions, secretly or even overtly restricting the heretic alliance. It is well known among the senior officials that all powerful people and forces who have understood the cause and result of the original grudge between the two sides will not Will express any opinions on this matter.
Without him, for Zhu Houcong and even the powerful people of the entire Ming Dynasty, those people from the Heretic Alliance forced their way into Tiandu and conspired to kill Emperor Wuzong, which was the most shameful thing since the founding of the entire Ming Empire. One thing cannot be forgotten.
What's more, the Jade Emperor inherited the position of Emperor Wuzong. Even if there were a series of problems later, the legal system was like this, and revenge for Wuzong was what he should do.
"I understand." Lu Bing nodded in response.
Now that the Jade Emperor has expressed his attitude, he naturally knows what to do next.
Over the years, they have become very comfortable in stumbling upon the Heretic Alliance. It is nothing at all, he just needs to arrange it casually.
In the final analysis, the hatred between the two parties is very deep, but with so many big bosses suppressing them, even if there is conflict and friction between them, it will not be a serious fight. .
After all, when there are old grievances, it is acceptable for the two parties to stumble and have small friction with each other, but once the conflict and friction increase between each other, there will undoubtedly be those who The dissatisfaction of the boss.
"It's nothing more than letting the people who are buried take action to cause some trouble for the Heretic Alliance. Don't let them develop so smoothly, and don't let these people keep causing trouble for His Majesty to hear." This is what Lu Bing felt in his heart. think. Since the two sides cannot kill each other, the best way to deal with it is to make the other party's news less glaring and not to upset His Majesty.
How to deal with this kind of thing is already familiar to Lu Bing, so there is no need to think about it at all.
He knows that this matter is not the most important, or that it is not important enough to require him to come here and wait. Really, even if he is dissatisfied with this heretical alliance, he only needs to give himself One sentence is enough, no need to bring yourself over.
To bring myself here today, there must be something more important.
Sure enough, the next thing I heard was the Jade Emperor asking again: "Have the rest of them done anything recently?"
Those people, although the Jade Emperor did not mention their names directly, Lu Bing naturally knew them. Who is this talking about.
It’s nothing more than the rest of the six emperors of Tianting, the Qinghua Emperor of the East Pole, the Changsheng Emperor of the South Pole, the Gouchen Emperor of the West, the Ziwei Emperor of the North Pole, and the one who has lived in the underworld for a long time and rarely appears in the world. Emperor Houtu in the period.
As the emperor of heaven and the co-lord of heaven and earth, the Jade Emperor should have been the co-respect of heaven and earth and held all power. Then the pattern of the coexistence of the six emperors allowed the remaining emperors to share many powers in the world.
Although it was said that the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, the Shinto incarnation of the Changsheng Dao Lord, did not care about anything and expressed his support for the Jade Emperor, later on, apart from some conflicts between the Jade Emperor and Puhua Tianzun, who was in charge of the Antarctic Imperial Palace, there was no such thing. The question is that the Jade Emperor once again lost the support of this party.
Even if the current Shenxiao lineage and the Antarctic Imperial Palace lineage do not deliberately target them, it is equivalent to a weakening of the Jade Emperor's strength.
Not to mention the Antarctic Imperial Palace, the Houtu Emperor has been living deep in the Yinsi Netherworld. As long as he does not interfere with the interests of the Yinsi Netherworld, this one does not need to target the Jade Emperor.
But the remaining three emperors, whether they are Emperor Qinghua of the East, Emperor Gouchen of the West, or Emperor Ziwei of the North, these three emperors are extremely ambitious, and they have never had any control over the power of this heaven. He never relaxed at all, always holding on to the authority in his hands, and constantly trying to usurp other people's authority.
It can be said that the factional struggles within the entire Heavenly Court nowadays are almost all centered around the struggle for power between the Jade Emperor and these three emperors.
If it weren't for the fact that these three royal lords also had many conflicting powers and conflicts of interest, making it impossible for them to cooperate without reservation, the Jade Emperor's situation would probably be even more uncomfortable.
But even so, these three emperors know that no matter what kind of conflict there is between them, their biggest enemy is always the Jade Emperor, so there will be friction between them. Once the Jade Emperor takes the advantage, then the three parties will The tacit understanding of joining forces to target the Jade Emperor
This situation undoubtedly made the Jade Emperor very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, these emperors were his opponents.
After all, the power they are fighting for comes from the Jade Emperor. The erosion of each other's authority will not be a big problem, but if the Jade Emperor takes advantage, everything will be in vain.
So in fact, the struggle between these three Royal Lords and the Jade Emperor is more intense, because they all represent not only themselves, but also countless stars with high positions in this heaven. Your Majesty, the Heavenly King is their subordinate, and the political struggles of these superiors will inevitably affect the people below.
The struggle for power is so risky that no one is willing to give up easily. It is related to their present, their future, and even life and death.
Therefore, Zhu Houcong only mentioned a few words about the Heretic Alliance and did not really take it seriously. The current Heretic Alliance is indeed not weak, but compared with the position he stands in, the Heretic Alliance is considered an opponent, but it is not a real one. opponent.
If the two sides really attack each other unscrupulously, then maybe the heretic alliance will bring a lot of trouble to themselves, but there is no doubt that they will win in the end.
On the contrary, the rest of the people are his biggest enemies. Their existence threatens his status and takes away his authority. Their inability to take back those authorities is always a serious concern for him.
"Recently, the subordinates of these emperors have not made any moves in the world of China. They all seem to be focusing on opening up a new world." Lu Bing recalled the news about those imperial palaces. information.
For them, the powerful people in heaven, the interests of the Chinese world have actually been fixed for a long time. There are only so many spheres of influence that all parties should occupy. If they want to get more, they will inevitably come into contact with other powerful forces. interests, triggering a series of conflicts.
Therefore, instead of not seeking benefits in the world of China, it is better to devote more energy to opening up a new world.
After all, this vast chaotic void is so vast. Even after ten thousand years of development, the world they can really explore is only an insignificant part of it.
And unlike at the beginning, they could only move out from the Chinese world. For these powerful forces, opening up the world does not mean immediately integrating these worlds into the Chinese world.
After all, small forces and ordinary practitioners can only realize their benefits quickly in this way, and cannot develop greater benefits.
And just like the Jade Emperor and several Royal Lords, they can choose some suitable worlds, and then build these worlds into their bases, thoroughly search for the resources in them, and even Use this as a starting point to continuously expand and create a world that they truly control.
So in fact, if you observe with confidence, the real top forces in the Chinese world will not deliberately expand, but will open up new worlds.
But for such a gameplay operation, not all forces are qualified. This requires not only the top powerhouses, but also the support of many backbone powerhouses, and a lot of strength.
For the Heretic Alliance, their current situation cannot support such a framework, which is why Zhao Baiyang and the others can’t wait to expand now, because only continuous expansion will expand their power. Only at a certain point can we have the opportunity to try out this plan.
Compared with the development in the Shenzhou world, the benefits that can be obtained in the vast chaotic void are actually even greater, and that is considered to be on the fast track.
But the most important thing now is that they see the opportunity right in front of them but cannot seize it. This is the most uncomfortable thing. (End of chapter)
