The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 450: Black hands in the dark

??? This is why Ning Caichen stayed in Lanruo Temple for one night in the original book. After returning safely, the owner of the restaurant didn't dare to rely on the debt, so he gave it straight away.

It’s not that he is afraid of Ning Caichen, a weak scholar, but that he and everyone in the town think that Ning Caichen has become a ghost, but he is obsessed with it before his death, and he never forgets to collect the bill. , Came to collect debts.

When ordinary people encounter such things as ghosts claiming debts, when there is no special means to restrain these spirits, how dare they not follow the ghosts' minds.

When Zhong Yu's army arrived at Jinhua Mansion, the prefect general of Jinhua Mansion did not dare to resist, and directly led the 5,000 defenders to surrender.

Then when Zhong Yu stayed in Jinhua Mansion, during a banquet, he accidentally heard the Jinhua Mansion prefect complaining to him that the tree monsters at Lanruo Temple in Guobei County were rampant and wantonly slaughtering passersby.

In the three years since he took office, no fewer than a thousand people have died at the hands of the tree demon, and the local people have suffered a lot.

As soon as he heard the news, Zhong Yu's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the very famous movie A Chinese Ghost Story, which is also a very brilliant story in Liao Zhai.

The love story between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian is naturally very moving. Yan Chixia's righteousness and thin clouds are also admirable, and even the evil of the tree demon grandma is also hated, but this is not the reason why Zhong Yu pays attention to him. .

Although the tree demon grandma is strong, according to intelligence speculation, it should have reached the level of Tier 6.

But he is burdened by his body. Although the thousand-year-old locust tree stretches for dozens of miles, he is huge and has a lot of advantages in the battle at home.

But because of this, you can't move around at will, and the range of activities is limited to the surrounding Guobei County, and it can't be a big climate at all.

Especially for Zhong Yu, who owns hundreds of counties, the gains and losses of a county is nothing at all, it can't disrupt his overall situation, and it can't threaten his rule.

Presumably this is also the original governor of Northern Jiangxi Province. He knew that there was a tree demon in Guobei County, Jinhua Mansion, who was causing serious harm, but he had never sent troops to conquer.

Because of knowing that the tree demon can't become a climate, coupled with its strong strength, it has an advantage on the home court, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

If one is not good, you may fall into trouble, and the gain is not worth the loss.

But it's just that the governor sees it shallowly, or that the information on the tree demon is too one-sided, and he doesn't know his foundation.

The tree demon grandma is a subordinate of a great demon, the Black Mountain Demon King, and the Black Mountain Demon King is a great demon in the underworld with cholera.

The Black Mountain Demon King recruited troops in the underworld, constantly attacking the Yinsi led by Emperor Fengdu, and now has occupied 1/3 of the underworld, with great momentum and severely disrupting the order of the Yangjian.

It can be said that a large part of the credit for the current chaos in the world and the rampage of demons and monsters comes from the hand of the Black Mountain Demon King.

The Black Mountain Demon King is powerful, and it is said that he is a master of the eighth rank, and he is still one of the leaders.

Furthermore, there are countless ghost soldiers under his command. They are all elite divisions who have been fighting for a long time.

As a subordinate of the Black Mountain Demon King, the tree demon grandmother appeared in Guobei County. Even if she was unable to leave because of her main body, the reason was worth pondering.

After all, although the tree demon is strong, it is only a sixth-order. Compared to the old black mountain demon who has reached the eighth level, he is not much different from the ant. How can he be defeated by the old black mountain demon? I took a special fancy to him and took him as a subordinate.

There must be some hidden secret in this, and the secret in this is related to the certain layout of the old black mountain demon for the two realms of yin and yang.

If this kind of layout appeared in other places, such as the empires of Dahan, Dawei, Datang and Dajin, then Zhong Yu would naturally not be full of food and hold on, so he went to take care of his business.

After all, although Zhong Yu has the ambition to unify the entire human world, and even conquer the underworld, he does not even know that there is no heaven in the legend.

But all of this was something he considered before he had this strength.

Now that Zhong Yu is weak, if the Black Mountain Demon can help him weaken the strength of the powerful empire next to him, maybe he will secretly laugh and actively push the leader.

As for the difference between humans and monsters, Zhong Yu, a man who has been the emperor for a long time, would never have taken it in his heart. He only considered the interests of the empire.

As long as the Old Demon Black Mountain can help him weaken the power of the empire next to him, so that he will have a better and easier strategy in the future, then he will only be grateful, not angry.

At most, in order to be a political show and promote the righteousness of the human race, in public a few times the brutal behavior of the old Black Mountain demon, and then declare these superficial skills of incompatibility.

But now the old Black Mountain demon's hand has actually been inserted into the Daming Kingdom, and he has long regarded Daming Kingdom as the Zhong Yu who serves his own Chinese food. Naturally, he will not tolerate the behavior of others taking food from his mouth, let alone let himself. There are great hidden dangers in imperial rule.

No matter what the tree devil grandma's purpose is, as long as he dares to appear in his own territory, no matter how big his backstage is, he must get rid of it.

It seems to be mentioned in the original work that ~IndoMTL.com~ After the tree demon grandmother was wiped out by Yan Chixia and others, it attracted the black mountain demon king behind the scenes **oss, and then after a battle of wits, Yan Chixia and others Man successfully defeated the Black Mountain Demon King, escaped from the underworld, and successfully sent Nie Xiaoqian to reincarnation.

However, from Zhong Yu’s point of view, since Yan Chixia played against the tree monster grandmother regardless of victory or defeat, and even fell into a disadvantage, then his strength must be only Tier 6, and no matter how strong it is, it is not as strong as Tier 7. .

But he was able to defeat the old demon of Black Mountain. You must know that the old monster of Black Mountain is a master of the eighth level.

How could this powerful strength make Yan Chixia defeat it so easily, even with the help of the seemingly powerful Buddha Diamond Sutra.

It's not too difficult to fight for a higher level at a small level. Zhong Yu can do it himself. With a sixth-level cultivation base, he can single out more than ten seventh-levels.

Now it is about to break through to Tier 7, when the strength will increase rapidly, and it will not be difficult to deal with dozens or even hundreds of them in the same Tier.

But if he was asked to deal with an eighth rank, it would be a death sentence.

After all, although Tier 6 and Tier 7 are called half-gods and half-gods, they are not true fairy-gods after all, they are just a transition between mortal and fairy.

Not a fairy, but an ant after all.

If you want to deal with a real fairy god, you can only succeed unless you gather hundreds of Tier 6 or 7 masters and form a big formation so that a fairy **** cannot escape.

However, even if they succeeded, these masters must have suffered heavy casualties, and they won't survive a few in the end.

Furthermore, letting an immortal stay in place and let the enemy attack it is impossible to achieve.

So this is just a vain, mortals can't deal with immortals.
