Great General Wei did not believe a single word Old Prince Xu said.
Among the higher-ups of the Imperial Family, this old man was the one who targeted the Wei Clan the most.
Because Xu MO, the King of Qingjiang, had competed for the throne with the Empress ‘father, the previous Emperor of Zhou, he was in an awkward situation after the Empress ascended the throne. Thanks to the mediation of Xu Qizhen, the King of Fengning, Xu Mo’s situation eased a lot.
With the unity of the royal family, the days of the Wei Clan, the second largest clan, became increasingly difficult.
“What are you talking about, Old Prince? I, your son, will lead the entire Wei family and swear to do my best for the Emperor until I die.” Wei Chaoran bowed to Xu Qizhen. ” The Old Prince has been in charge of the Great Zhou for 700 years. He is indeed a pillar of the Great Zhou. Us juniors have always respected him. We hope that you can give us more guidance.
“Duke Ding Yuan is too polite.” Xu Qizhen’s tone was calm. ” I’ve lived for many years and have always been mediocre. Although I’ve also reached my current realm, we all know that there are still differences in cultivation levels among people of the same realm. We’ve lived for six to seven hundred years, but my aurora is dim, and Cheng Jiongting in the south is much better than me. I feel really guilty. ‘
Cheng Jiongting, the King of Qiantang of South Chu, was a figure of the same era as Xu Qizhen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was younger than Xu Qizhen, but his cultivation and strength were still higher.
Currently, the Old King of South Chu was ranked fifth among the top ten Martial Saints of the Red Dust.
Xu Qizhen looked at Wei Chaoran. ” But it’s still alright. The eldest son of the Dingyuan family has come out of seclusion this time. I believe he can fight Cheng Jiongting.
Wei Chaoran said softly, ” Old Prince, you flatter me. My son is stuck in a bottleneck and it’s hard for him to break through. I don’t know how long it will take for him to reach the eighteenth realm. ‘
Wei Ling had gone into seclusion this time to try and break through to the eighteenth realm.
Moreover, because of the Heavenly Dome Stone, Wei Chaoran believed that his eldest son had a high chance of successfully breaking through.
However, when he faced the outside world, he naturally denied it.
“Duke Ding Yuan is too modest. Your son was ranked among the ten heroes of the mortal world together with Yanming of the western paradise. After
Yanming broke through to the 18th realm, he was ranked among the top ten Martial Saints. Your son naturally wouldn’t be weaker than him.” Xu Qizhen said indifferently.
Wei Chaoran’s expression didn’t change. ” The western paradise is one of the five great sacred grounds of the righteous path, the leader of the Red Dust
Buddhist Sect. Its foundation is so deep that it’s incomparable to the Wei Clan. The Buddhist Sect’s martial arts are so profound that it’s incomparable to the spear arts of the Wei Clan. ‘
Xu Qizhen looked at him deeply.
‘ Every generation has its own talented people. There will always be people who can amaze the future and surpass their predecessors. With your son’s talent, I believe he can amaze the world with a single feat. Speaking of which, ” the old man said slowly, ” it’s time for the ranking of the Red Dust’s Top Ten Martial Saints to change. If your son can come out of seclusion in time, he’ll be able to make this trip.
The previous ranking of the top ten Martial Saints was actually a matter of recent years.
“Rain Master” Cheng Shuzhi, the Queen of the Wilderness, Qing Kongsang, and the rapidly rising “Dragon King” Xu Peng were firmly in the top three positions, forming a gap with the seven people behind them.
There was actually a dispute about the rankings of the next seven people. However, most of the time, the world of mortals used to rank the legendary Old Fiend Blood River as the fourth.
Below them were the South Chu Old King Cheng Jiongting, the Ancient Gods
Clan’s Setting Sun King Zheng Chi, Fusang Island’s elder ‘Blue Sea
Reincarnation’ Tian Yuchen, the Bitter Sea’s Shexin Devil Monk, Xian Tian Palace’s Palace Lord Shan Jing, as well as the number one expert among the younger generation of the western paradise, ‘Kind Traveler’ Yan Ming.
Last year, the Xian Tian Palace was in chaos and the Palace Master Shan Jing died. Gantian Elder You Hao took over the position of Palace Master.
His cultivation base and strength had never been lower than Shan Jing’s. Therefore, he had also topped Shan Jing’s ranking among the Red Dust’s top ten Martial Saints.
But who would have thought that You Hao would soon follow in Shan Jing’s footsteps.
Although Xian Tian Palace intentionally hid it, the Ancient Gods Clan and the South Chu Dynasty would not help to hide it. Therefore, the news of You Hao, Mu Chao and the others dying had already spread throughout the mortal world.
In addition, Zheng Chi had rebelled and was cleaned up by the Ancient Gods Clan.
Old Freak Blood River had disappeared from the mortal world for too long and there had been no news of him for a long time. The outside world did not know what had happened in the Blood Sea, so someone had long proposed to exclude Old Freak Blood River from the top ten Martial Saints.
A few seats suddenly appeared in the top ten Martial Saints. It was indeed time to reshuffle.
This was especially so for Cheng Ying Tian and Shen Tianzhao, who were originally one of the Red Dust Ten Heroes, who broke through to the 18th level. They were even stronger than the western paradise’s Yan Ming.
Although Cheng Ying Tian was dead, Shen Tian Zhao was still alive.
Although he had become the scar of the Heavenly River and was being pursued by the Heavenly River, his strength was still there. No one could underestimate him.
In fact, with Cheng Yingtian, Shen Tianzhao, Xu Peng, and Yanming, the most outstanding figures of the younger generation had ascended to the center stage of the mortal world.
There were already people who proposed to rearrange the Red Dust Ten Great Martial Saints as well as the Red Dust Ten Heroes.
This time, the two rankings were completely separated and no longer overlapped.
As long as one broke through to the eighteenth realm, they would automatically withdraw from the list of the Red Dust Ten Heroes.
“The eldest son of the Dingyuan family has come out of seclusion. He can compete for the top ten Martial Saints of the new generation.” “Speaking of which, the Dingyuan Duke’s Third Prince’s cultivation has also risen by leaps and bounds. He should be about to reach the seventeenth realm now, right? At such a young age, your talent is astonishing. You’re just about to make up for the position of the Red Dust Ten Heroes.”
Wei Chaoran shook his head.
I’ve long heard that the younger generation of the imperial family is filled with experts. This is the grand occasion of our Great Zhou.”
“It’s not that this old man is praising you, but Duke Ding Yuan is too strict with the Wei family’s sons.” “I heard that the second son of the Dingyuan family is ill?” The old prince strolled. Duke Ding Yuan, don’t give the young man too much pressure.”
Everyone knew that the three father and son of the Wei family were all heroes.
Wei Chaoran’s eldest son, Wei Ling, and his third son, Wei Zheng, had the potential to surpass his master, and their talent and potential were even above Wei Chaoran himself.
However, as a result, while everyone was paying attention to Wei Chaoran, Wei Ling, and Wei Zheng, there was another problem.
That was Wei Chaoran’s only son who didn’t seem to be that capable.
His second son is Wei Feng.
Strictly speaking, Wei Feng wasn’t a good-for-nothing.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he could be considered outstanding.
However, compared to his two talented brothers, he suddenly looked mediocre. The surrounding people were all extraordinary people, and he was the only ordinary one. This became extraordinary in another sense, which attracted the attention of some people.
Many people in the outside world suspected that the second son of the Wei family was actually the most outstanding among the three brothers.
He looked ordinary, but was he deliberately hiding his true colors to confuse the outside world?
After all, the Wei Family was currently making a living under the East Zhou Empire. It was already extremely high-profile and was taboo.
The Eastern Zhou royal family was naturally very concerned about this issue, and they probed countless times in the open and in secret.
But in the end, Xu Qizhen and the others discovered that it wasn’t that Wei Feng was deliberately hiding his strength, but that he was indeed far from his two brothers.
The human race’s martial arts talent had nothing to do with bloodline inheritance. There were many cases of a tiger father producing a dog son. The Wei family had two exceptions that could be said to be heaven-defying.
Fortunately, they did not defy the heavens to the end.
However, Xu Qizhen was overly suspicious. When he heard that Wei Feng was seriously ill, he asked again.
Of course, he was more concerned about the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Ling, and the third son, Wei Zheng.
” My son is fine. When he went out to train, he was attacked by the poisonous Yin Qi and couldn’t withstand it. However, I have already removed the poison for him and he is no longer in danger. It’s just that the Yin Qi was so strong that it hurt his vitality, so he is weak and has to recuperate at home. Thank you for your concern, Old Prince. ” Wei Chaoran replied.
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Xu Qizhen nodded.
Wei Chaoran said goodbye to Xu Qizhen. Xu Qizhen did not say anything more and watched him leave.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes appeared beside the old man.
“What do you think, old granduncle?” The man asked softly.
” Wei Ling’s closed-door training this time should be aimed at the eighteenth realm. The Dragon Tiger Seven Saint Spears of the Wei family have improved again. ” “We have to keep a close eye on them.” The old prince shook his head.
The middle-aged man was one of the five pillars of the Eastern Zhou Empire, the other peak Martial Saint of the Imperial Family, King Qingjiang, Xu Mo.
He looked in the direction where Wei Chaoran had left.”Could it be that we are too suspicious and are forcing the Wei family too much?”
” When Wei Chaoran broke through to the eighteenth realm, he did not have much thought. However, after Wei Ling’s talent was revealed, he thought more.
Otherwise, he would not have asked His Majesty to bestow a marriage to him. Xu Qizhen said indifferently, ” He doesn’t dare to be arrogant now. However, the seeds have already taken root and sprouted. He’s just waiting for the right time. He can be used, but we have to be wary of him.
“You’re right, Grand Uncle.” Xu MO nodded.
Pausing for a while, he turned to the resting place of the Ancient Gods Clan.
‘”‘Then the Ancient Gods Clan…”
“Don’t act rashly. Wait for His Majesty’s orders.” Xu Qizhen sighed lightly. ” If possible, I don’t wish for our Great Zhou to have another external enemy. That Cult Master Chen is very evil.
Xu MO smiled wryly.
The speed at which Chen Luoyang rose was too terrifying.
As a result, most people in the mortal world gradually came to a consensus and regarded him as an outsider like the Empress of Dongzhou.
Putting aside the ancient formation of Emperor Xi, just by looking at how he had fought against the Queen of the Wilderness, one could tell how strong he was. Moreover, he had killed You Hao, Cheng Ying Tian, and the others.
However, everyone tacitly excluded Chen Luoyang from the list of the Red Dust’s Top Ten Martial Saints.
Who knew if he was closer to the Supreme Realm than Xu Peng, Cheng Shuzhi, and the others?
Only the heavens knew how far he was from that natural chasm.
Let him play by himself…
” If it’s not necessary, no one wants to confront the Ancient Gods Clan.
Although they have taken in the Green Bull Temple, they don’t seem to have any intention of helping the Green Bull Temple. It’s the Heavenly River that is at odds with the Ancient Gods Clan or Cult Master Chen, ” Xu MO sighed.
The relationship between the East Zhou Empire and the Celestial River lineage was not very harmonious.
However, when the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had lost its big shot, it was thanks to the care of the old sword immortal of the Heavenly River that most of the high-level experts of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty remembered this old friendship.
But sometimes, it was hard to avoid a headache, like now. Xu Qizhen and Xu MO looked at each other and sighed..
