Chapter 290 Huangfu Family, the Peace Meeting

When Shen Qing asked about the Huangfu family, Huangfu Rou's face darkened, as if she thought of many bad memories.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."

As he said this, he urged his spiritual power to refine the essence of the meat he had just swallowed, and gently exhaled a turbid breath, and his bulging abdomen suddenly reduced a little.

"There's nothing bad to say. These are all things that others are familiar with. If you want to find out, you can find out." Huangfu Rou said softly.

Shen Qing straightened his posture and pretended to listen.

"The Huangfu family entered the court when the first emperor was in power. At that time, our Huangfu family had many talents and soon emerged in the court. They were valued by the first emperor of the Ji family, that is, the current ancestor of the Ji family. Later, under the instruction of the first emperor, he took the lead in collecting the world's martial arts, and served the first emperor of the Ji family for many years, making great contributions."

Hearing this, Shen Qing was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that the Huangfu family was responsible for the collection of martial arts from all over the world.

"My Huangfu family was also prominent for a while, but after the great event was accomplished, the first emperor abdicated and let the wise man concentrate on cultivation. Coincidentally, the case of the sudden death of the crown prince occurred, and my ancestor was implicated, so he fell from the clouds with the Huangfu family."

"Later, some talented members of the Huangfu family appeared, but unfortunately they were all in the Jingluanhui, and only one in ten survived. Now that old friends in the court have died one after another, our Huangfu family has fallen to this point."

After listening to Huangfu Rou's narration, Shen Qing was not surprised at all.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.

It has been like this since ancient times.

Even this world is no exception.

"Okay, that's about it. Do you have any other questions?" Huangfu Rou looked at Shen Qing and said.

Shen Qing pondered for a while, grasped the key points and said: "Sir Huangfu, what is the pacification meeting you just mentioned? I don't think I have ever heard of it."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. This is a rule set by the first emperor, and it will be held once every sixty years."

"The first hundred people who survive each pacification meeting have the opportunity to enter the temple and become the backbone of the Ji family. They will rise to the top in one step and enjoy endless wealth and glory."

"It seems that there are only a few years left before the opening of a new pacification meeting." Huangfu Rou glanced at Shen Qing and smiled bitterly: "Maybe you have a chance to meet them."

"The first hundred people who survived?" Shen Qing saw Huangfu Rou's expression, which seemed to have other hidden secrets, and he asked: "This so-called Does the Jingluanhui have any explanation? "

Huangfu Rou glanced at Shen Qing and said, "Every breakthrough in our martial arts can increase our lifespan. Do you know this?"

Shen Qing nodded and said, "Of course I know this. The Qi Hai realm can increase lifespan by ten years, the Yuluo realm can increase lifespan by fifty years, and even the Lingxu realm can increase lifespan by three hundred years. These are all well-known things."

Huangfu Rou said, "Then have you ever thought about what will happen to the world if these old martial arts masters never die and new martial arts masters emerge continuously under the condition that the cultivation resources remain unchanged? Can the cultivation resources in the Ji family temple still be maintained?"

"You mean, the Jingluanhui is used to deal with martial arts masters?"

Huangfu Rou nodded gently.

At this time, for some reason, Shen Qing couldn't help but think of the Taiping County Magistrate summoning many martial arts masters to destroy the tiger monster.

The two seem to have the same purpose.

Huangfu Rou said: "In order to limit the rapid growth of martial artists, the Ji family court has collected martial arts. Under the pretext of selecting talents from all over the world, a meeting to quell rebellions is held every sixty years to control the number of martial artists in the world."

"With the Qi Hai realm as the threshold, up to the Xiantian realm, no matter the children of aristocratic families, the children of court officials, or martial artists, they are all inevitable. The scale of the participants in each sixty years is no less than 100,000, and only 1% can survive in the end."

Shen Qing suddenly felt a sense of shock when he heard this: "Then isn't this essentially a massacre among martial artists?"

"Yes." Huangfu Rou sighed and said: "But this is also a grand meeting for sharing power in the court of the Great Zhou."

Shen Qing was silent after hearing this.

He heard the implication of Huangfu Rou.

Putting martial artists from the Qi Hai realm to the Xiantian realm together is originally an unfair competition, and those martial artists with low cultivation are basically going to die.

However, if some wealthy families send in their innate guardians to help the younger generation, they will almost win without any effort and can smoothly obtain the power of the temple.

This pacification meeting will be a disaster for the powerless warriors, a one-sided killing, but for those high-level wealthy families, it is a rare opportunity to gain power and influence.

"Practice well and improve your cultivation." Huangfu Rou said earnestly.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, sir." Shen Qing said with a fist.

He was a little thirsty after talking so far, and he went forward to take out two water bags, which were already empty.

Shen Qing said with two water bags, "I'll go get some water."

He strode out, put the water bag on his waist while walking, and walked towards the mountains and forests with a bow on his back and a knife on his back.

The autumn wind blew gently.

The mountains in the distance were layered, dyed more clearly by the autumn colors, with green, golden and fiery red colors intertwined.

Not far behind the mountain temple, there was a gurgling spring, clear to the bottom.

There were a few fallen leaves floating on the water, drifting with the current.

Occasionally, one or two squirrels could be seen busy shuttling through the woods, collecting autumn fruits in preparation for the coming winter.

Shen Qing fiddled with the floating leaves on the water, pulled out the stopper on the water bag, and placed the water bag in the spring water.

The spring water kept flowing into the water bag.

After a while, Shen Qing picked up the water bag and drank it, then filled the two water bags again and prepared to return.

Just as he was walking along the forest path, he suddenly felt that the sky was dark.

Shen Qing exclaimed and looked up at the sky.

The sun hanging in the sky was covered by a layer of black curtain. I don’t know when it started, but it has been covered by most of it and lost its light.

The sky seemed to be torn open by a pair of big hands, revealing the black abyss inside.

"This is..."

Shen Qing's face changed drastically, and he was very puzzled.

He didn't dare to stay for long, and activated the Great Void Technique. He took a step forward, and his figure swayed and appeared in front of the mountain temple.

Obviously Huangfu Rou also realized the difference, and was already standing at the door looking up at the sky.

She saw Shen Qing and asked, "What's going on?"

Shen Qing shook his head and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a ray of extremely brilliant light, shining brightly, surged out from the bottom of the deep and boundless abyss, penetrated through layers of darkness, and fell vertically.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to be lit up instantly.

Boom!

The light fell on the top of a mountain not far away, making a loud noise that shook the earth.

The earth trembled, instantly stirring up endless dust and air waves.

The air around seemed to be distorted by this force.

"Be careful!" Huangfu Rou shouted, subconsciously blocking in front of Shen Qing.
