Chapter 158 The so-called backer (7k5)
After exiting the ring, Twilight walked back to the venue with a calm expression.
When the other four team members saw him, they bowed slightly, but their expressions, without exception, became subtle.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Son actually lost.
Then go back this time...
The two of them looked at each other, eager to challenge him on the spot to replace him as the Holy Son.
After losing the first battle with the team, and having offended Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden before, Twilight will definitely be held accountable when she returns from this trip, and her position as the Holy Son will not be guaranteed.
And they were obviously not the only ones who could think of this.
The middle-aged man who was a follower of Twilight walked over quickly with a heavy look on his face.
After seeing this person, Twilight subconsciously remembered her previous speech. Her expression was inevitably a little unnatural, and she turned to look at the Federation.
The middle-aged man stepped forward worriedly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you will have to be prepared to accept accountability when you go back this time."
"It's okay. This task was overfulfilled. Even that crazy woman couldn't find a reason to hold me accountable."
Twilight's voice was still calm and calm, like a mountain that had gone through wind and rain but remained standing, once again showing the calmness that everything was under control.
The middle-aged man was stunned, overfulfilled?
He really wanted to say that Your Highness, this is not funny, at least not as funny as your metaphor of "seeing me as if you were seeing mountains" not long ago...
But reason told him that although their Highness often had "unique ideas" that were different from ordinary people, he was not stupid.
On the contrary, with his comprehensive abilities in all aspects, His Highness can be ranked at the forefront of this generation of saints.
Excess...?
The middle-aged man suddenly thought of something, raised his head in surprise, and looked at Ji Jingqiu from the Federation.
wrong!
This person's surname is Ji, not Mu, and he is not from one of the six major families.
Twilight looked at Ji Jingqiu from a distance, with various thoughts in her mind.
The reason why the Templar Principality has rejected the Federation and refused to communicate with the Federation over the past ten thousand years largely stems from one person.
—Mu Shuai, one of the seven federal commanders, Mu Shitian.
This person has an inheritance and is listed as a taboo among taboos by the temple.
During his trip to the Federation, in addition to performing normal diplomatic duties, the archbishop of the temple also gave him a special task - to collect as much information as possible about the Mu family.
Unfortunately, the Federation was not interested in their mission at all, and many of the ideas they had before coming were unable to get started, let alone visit the Mu family.
The only news obtained from the federal network is that among the young people of the Mu family...
It doesn't seem to be too outstanding.
But now.
Twilight stared at Ji Jingqiu's back as he exited the ring, feeling an inexplicable emotion surge in his heart.
He definitely didn't feel wrong about the unique charm of the secret technique the other party had previously performed!
Even if this guy hasn't mastered the highest inheritance of the Mu family, he has definitely mastered the relevant secret techniques!
The only problem is that his surname is not Mu. I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome to convince those people when I go back...
Well, this guy can't be the illegitimate son of the Mu family, right?
Twilight nodded secretly with conviction,
…
…
With Twilight admitting defeat, the exchange match lasted less than half a day and came to a successful conclusion.
Ji Jingqiu, who was basically able to defeat it alone, declined the invitation to the celebration banquet. After saying goodbye to Patriarch Qingyang, he planned to buy the fastest boat ticket and return to Dongsan Huangxing.
But he didn't go far when he met an unexpected acquaintance and shouted in surprise:
"Brother Dao!"
The figure standing not far away was Leng Dao, whom he hadn't seen for several months.
Leng Dao stood on the side of the road. In front of him was a burly man whose physique was not inferior to those of the warriors from Luofeng Ancient Kingdom. His face was rough and bold.
After seeing Ji Jingqiu, Leng Dao also showed a faint smile. Yan Ruhuo who was watching this scene couldn't help but be shocked.
Can this lump of ice laugh? !
Ji Jingqiu quickly stepped forward to meet him. Leng Dao carefully looked at Ji Jingqiu from top to bottom and said seriously: "Aqiu, you have become stronger."
Before Ji Jingqiu could speak, the strong man on the side curled his lips and said: "This kid single-handedly picked two Sun Warriors from Shengtang and Luofeng. How can he not be strong?"
"This is Yan Ruhuo, from the War Command. It was he who arranged for you to be selected for the exchange competition." Leng Dao briefly introduced.
"Senior Yan." Ji Jingqiu called politely.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Leng Dao." Yan Ruhuo smiled boldly, "Remember to come and watch the battle in a week!"
Ji Jingqiu's heart moved: "Brother Dao, are you here to play in the exchange game too?"
Leng Dao nodded: "Lao Yan and I are responsible for the exchange competition in the Shackle Realm. The battle will start in a week. Do you want to come and watch the battle?"
A week later... Ji Jingqiu was very moved, but in the end she refused.
"It won't work this time. I have to rush back to Dongsan Huangxing and then plan to rebel against Xiantian." Ji Jingqiu said regretfully.
Leng Dao nodded and said indifferently: "Rebellion is innately important. In addition, this kind of exchange competition is actually not interesting. The people who came to High Court and the Holy Hall are all familiar faces."
Ji Jingqiu asked curiously: "The Federation has had exchange games with them before?"
Leng Dao shook his head: "It's not an exchange competition, but a few cosmic secrets in the surrounding star field. When you break into the Immortal Realm in the future, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with it."
Yan Ruhuo also said: "We have very little or no contact with the surrounding civilizations. The only contact we had before was with a few secret realms in the universe, which are much more interesting than the arena competition."
Leng Dao said: "Aqiu, is it convenient for you next? If so, please wait for me for a while and I will take you to meet someone."
"Okay, I have nothing to do next." Ji Jingqiu responded readily, just in time to receive the news from Patriarch Qingyang.
After replying the message, Leng Dao dealt with it, said goodbye to Yan Ruhuo, and then took Ji Jingqiu to the airport.
…
…
Yan Lu ended the call with Wan Cheng.
Wan Cheng's emotional words lingered in her ears, making her feel dazed.
The company's top management knew about Wan Cheng's participation in the exchange competition and originally wanted to cooperate with the publicity, but unexpectedly the federation suddenly changed its mind and banned external news.
"Too fast..." Yan Lu murmured.
According to Wan Cheng, Ji Jingqiu single-handedly picked two Sun-level geniuses from three other civilizations and defeated this exchange competition by himself!
The speed of his rise and growth... is really too fast!
As a professional manager, Yan Lu is familiar with the growth history of famous geniuses in history.
Many of them were originally unknown and later became famous in one battle, but none of them could maintain an astonishing growth rate like Ji Jingqiu.
Even Ji Linyuan, from a comprehensive perspective at this time, is probably inferior to him.
He has grown so fast that there is no doubt that he has not yet reached the upper limit of the True Seed Realm and will continue to grow!
Thinking of the day Zhang Chongba had an appointment with him five months ago...
Complex emotions emerged in Yan Lu's heart.
She missed out on a... unique martial arts talent.
…
…
After the exchange match, Yao Heshan returned to his station and entered a projection meeting through the encrypted channel.
The person in the conference center is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a tough face, calmness and majesty, and an extraordinary bearing.
Even though he was separated by a layer of projection, Yao Heshan could still feel the mental outlook from the president that was so strong that it hit his face. This proved that the other party's martial arts spirit was extremely strong and he was afraid that he would break through soon.
When he came in, several people in the meeting were talking quietly.
"...How is the war situation in the west?"
"It has been stabilized for the time being, but there are some troubles in getting back the lost territory. The rebels are unwilling to give in. Their conditions are very difficult and we cannot agree." The general from the Ministry of Defense said solemnly.
"...The Ke family is still unwilling to let go?" Liu Zhong slowly frowned.
"It's normal. Their arrangements on Tianlu still have no effect."
Liu Zhong's eyes were cold and solemn as he said: "The Ke family has gone too far this time. I will go to other families to discuss it later. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
The admiral said happily: "It would be best if you are willing to come forward."
Liu Zhong shook his head and said: "It's not whether I want to come forward or not, but the Ke family has been in trouble for too long. The other families will not let them continue to act like this. If I come forward at this time, I can let those families take advantage of the situation."
The admiral narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I really can't understand why the Ke family has made such a fuss out of control just because of a former martial arts star..."
Liu Zhong shook his head. He knew some secrets, but he didn't want to discuss this issue any further. He looked at Yao Heshan and said with a smile:
"Master Yao is here. Is the exchange competition over?"
Liu Zhong suddenly thought of something, glanced at the time, and said in surprise: "It's over so soon? Did the talents selected by the War Command give us an unexpected surprise?"
He said this with a probing inquiry, because Yao Heshan's expression at the moment was a bit heavy and complicated.
This is not like a surprise of winning...
Yao Heshan said, it was indeed a surprise.
Among the five people this time, the one who really holds the battle should be Yan Dongshun, who already has the fighting power of the previous years.
As for Ji Jingqiu, it was Yan Ruhuo from the War Command Department who visited Grandmaster Ning of the Four Stars and filled up the fifth spot.
But none of them expected that this young man who could only be regarded as a casual addition would once again be promoted by leaps and bounds in just one month, defeating the Sun Temple and Luofeng warriors with one person.
too fast…
This was the only thought Yao Heshan had after looking through Ji Jingqiu's past information.
This kid's progress is so fast!
It's so fast that it makes people feel trance-like and unsteady, as if the bright eyes at this moment are just meteors passing by in an instant.
After Yao Heshan adjusted his emotions, he reported what had just happened to the president.
"Ji Jingqiu..."
When he heard that he had won, and it was an overwhelming victory, Liu Zhong immediately relaxed, showing relief and emotion, and joked,
"This generation of the Federation has another evil talent. This is a blessing for the Federation! Why does Master Yao look so unhappy? I thought we lost unexpectedly."
Yao Heshan sighed and conveyed the public statement made by the Qin family's grandmaster not long ago.
Hearing this, Liu Zhong thought for a moment. This matter was indeed a bit tricky, but strictly speaking it was nothing.
The six major families have never been monolithic. Even the Seventh Marshal had many internal conflicts back then, let alone their descendants.
As for the Federation, the fact that they have disputes is actually a good thing.
In comparison, Liu Zhong paid more attention to the young man's situation.
"Master Yao, what do you think of this young man named Ji Jingqiu?" Liu Zhong asked.
"Very good." Yao Heshan did not hesitate.
Because this is a fact, anyone who has witnessed Ji Jingqiu's performance will not deny his excellence as long as he is not unconscionable.
Liu Zhong raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you compare with those others?"
Yao Heshan knew clearly that the president was asking about young people at the level of Ji Anquan and Qin Qingjue.
He mused: "If he was born in the six major families, I think he might be better than those few."
Liu Dian nodded. This was a bit more reserved, but it was also true.
The heritage of the six major families is really deep.
"How likely does Master Yao think he is to achieve innate Dzogchen?"
Yao Heshan smiled bitterly and said: "No one can predict this, not even the grandmaster. It all depends on him."
After that, he seemed to see something, and asked tentatively: "The president thinks that Ji Jingqiu is qualified to compete for the leadership position?"
Liu Chong smiled and said: "We have no say in this position. It depends on the young people themselves. After all, the battlefield will be in Jiuzhou and we will not be able to interfere."
Yao Heshan nodded thoughtfully.
He had seen what the president meant.
"I just didn't expect that the non-dealing between the Qin family and the Ji family has reached the point where they would rather recommend outsiders than make the Ji family feel uncomfortable..."
Liu Zhong smiled and stopped, as if he just said it casually, but the deep meaning hidden in it made several other people present look awe-inspiring.
"If you are talking about Ji Jingqiu, then I have some different opinions." In the audience, the current director of the Security Bureau, Lin Wenshan, suddenly said.
Director Lin, who was sitting next to him, had no special appearance or appearance. When he was not speaking, he seemed to have no presence in the crowd. But when he spoke, the other people had to look at him seriously. Listen.
Lin Wenshan said directly: "Someone told me that this young man is a patient with evil syndrome. The reason why he has not yet rebelled against his nature may be related to this. If he wants to rebel against his nature, he must first pass a life and death test."
Yao Heshan frowned and said, "What kind of life and death situation?"
Lin Wenshan apologized: "This involves a secret with X-level permissions. With your current permissions, Mr. Yao, you are temporarily unable to access it."
Liu Zhong raised his eyebrows, the secret of X-level permissions?
He did not rush to ask what was going on, but pointedly said: "Old Lin, why do I feel that you don't think highly of this young man?"
Lin Wenshan said calmly: "Actually, the Security Bureau had thought about wooing him before, but later we found out that this guy had probably been wooed by the Bureau in advance."
Upon hearing the news, Liu Zhong suddenly remembered something.
That was a meeting a few months ago. When Mu Xianhe expressed that what the federation needed was a true martial arts genius, a unique kind of unparalleled monster, the old director of the administration who participated in the meeting through a projection method stepped forward to help. Ji Jingqiu said something.
I didn't think it was anything at the time.
After all, judging from the tone of the old director at that time, it was hard to say that he was not being yin and yang. And even if not, this person is often a "shit stirrer" on weekdays...
But looking at it now, I'm afraid Lin Wenshan was right.
No wonder, the conflict between the Security Bureau and the Management Bureau is not just a day or two. Liu Zhong looked with a smile in his eyes: "Old Lin, don't be too personal. Regardless of the administration, this young man Ji Jingqiu himself is still very good."
Lin Wenshan shook his head and said: "If you are interested, you can learn about the secrets of the poisonous disease. It's not that I have any personal feelings, but it is really difficult for him to rebel against his innate nature."
Just then.
Lin Wenshan suddenly received a piece of news. He lowered his head and glanced at it, his expression shocked.
He looked up at the other people, and finally landed on Liu Zhong, with a solemn expression and a slight nod.
Liu Zhong suddenly understood and found an excuse to end the meeting.
After several others exited the conference room, Lin Wenshan said in a low voice: "The latest information, according to our tip, Ji Linyuan is suspected to have appeared."
Liu Zhong looked solemnly and said: "He appeared on the Heavenly Road? What is the situation now? Has the Ke family taken action?"
Lin Wenshan shook his head and said: "He did not appear on Tianlu, but found the Dharma King of the Supreme True Buddha Sect."
Liu Zhong frowned.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The Supreme True Buddha Sect? Why is it the Supreme True Buddha Sect?
…
…
Ji Jingqiu and Leng Dao boarded a private spaceship and spent half a day traveling to Taiwei Planet, which is not far from Bei 7 Crane Star and is one of the four core planets in the center.
Different from the four guardian stars, Taiweixing is a serious residential star.
After landing on Taiwei Star, it was evening.
When you get off the airport, there is a special car waiting at the door.
"Brother Dao, who are you going to see? Brother Ba?" Ji Jingqiu was inevitably a little curious.
"Lao Ba is still on a mission in the west. I was temporarily transferred back." Leng Dao shook his head and suddenly smiled, "By the way, have you seen Qin Lao San?"
"Qin Laosan? No."
"His real name is Qin Jing. He is a branch of the Qin family. He is also the head of the third department of our administration." Leng Dao introduced him and said with a smile, "He talked about you in the communication before. Say you are very good."
Ji Jingqiu secretly thought that he had never seen this person before.
In Sishouxing, the only person from the administration he had ever met was Zhou Zhongda.
The flying car stopped under a hotel.
On the way here, Ji Jingqiu noticed this hotel. In terms of height alone, it was comparable to Bai Yujing. When he stood at his feet and looked up, he couldn't see the top at all.
"Let's go." Leng Dao greeted, "This hotel is called Lingyun Pavilion. It has 1,999 floors. You can see the scenery of space from the highest stand."
He paused and said, "This is the property of my brother-in-law's family."
Ji Jingqiu was in awe, it turned out to be a big dog owner!
At the same time, there was also speculation in his mind about the person Leng Dao wanted to bring him to see.
How to say it.
He didn't resist, but rather wanted to see the little guy with a fate similar to his own.
Under the leadership of Leng Dao, the two reached the 999th floor through the vertical elevator.
Standing at the door of the elevator was a young woman who was elegantly dressed but had red eyes and looked a little haggard.
There is also a cute sleeping baby girl in her arms. Her long eyelashes are like two small fans, trembling gently with every even breath.
Her little mouth was slightly pouted, as if she was having a sweet dream.
"Sister, I took Aqiu to see Xiaochan." Leng Dao said softly.
The young woman looked at the boy in front of her dreamily, as if she were seeing her daughter who would grow up tenaciously sixteen years later.
Leng Dao stepped forward to take the baby girl in her arms, his eyes pitiful.
His sister took a step forward, gently held Ji Jingqiu's hands, and looked at the young man in front of her from head to toe, her eyes full of love and her body trembling slightly.
She was thinking, how did this child survive until now?
Can his own children grow up healthy and strong like him?
Ji Jingqiu looked calm and held the hand of the woman in front of him slightly, as if to give her confidence.
In the end, the young woman could not hold back and gently took the young man in front of her into her arms.
Feeling the warm embrace, Ji Jingqiu slowly closed her eyes, as if feeling the hug of her long-lost mother.
After a long time.
Ji Jingqiu took over the girl from Brother Dao's hand. He didn't know if it was a problem with the holding position. The moment he took over, the girl's long eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes, staring at him with her clear eyes. , full of curiosity.
The woman beside her looked surprised.
The daughter who had always been afraid of birth did not cry or struggle today, she just looked at Ji Jingqiu in front of her quietly.
Then slowly stretched out her white, delicate little hands.
Firmly grasping Ji Jingqiu's fingers.
Looking at the baby girl in front of him, Ji Jingqiu's thoughts wandered a little, thinking of his own childhood.
He leaned forward gently and pressed his forehead lightly on the baby girl's forehead.
It's going to be okay.
Just wait until you break through this heavy restraint.
if only…
Wait some more.
…
Five fifty in the morning.
Ji Jingqiu stood on the glass terrace. The floor under her feet was also made of special glass, and she could see the sea of clouds rolling below.
This is simply a house in the clouds, a garden in the sky.
This feeling of stepping on the sea of clouds under your feet is inevitably a refreshing feeling of conquering nature.
He checked the cost of this hotel yesterday and found that it was ridiculously high. Moreover, the glass terrace he was currently on was not open to the public. Even if you have money, you couldn't buy a seat. It was only for VIPs.
Well, I am a VIP.
The wind at a high place was very cool, and looking at the sea of clouds slowly rising and falling below her feet, Ji Jingqiu's mind was calm and quiet.
Leng Dao woke up at some point and came to the glass terrace and stood beside Ji Jingqiu.
"What, can't sleep?"
"I don't sleep very much now, so I sleep in trance instead."
"Well... sometimes don't be too hasty, not only in martial arts but also in life." Leng Dao paused, "Occasionally you can try to slow down, such as sleeping until you wake up naturally after a long time."
He warned: "Especially when you enter the realm of fugue, you must keep in mind that you must maintain the ability to be satisfied with the trivial aspects of life as much as possible. This will allow you to eliminate the instability caused by divinity."
Ji Jingqiu nodded, saying that he hadn't had a big meal in a long time.
"Aqiu."
Leng Dao took a deep look at Ji Jingqiu and suddenly said,
"Sixteen years later today, have you waited for the day when you were born?"
Ji Jingqiu's eyes narrowed and he said softly: "It's almost there, there's still one last step to go."
"Is this a step against innateness?"
Ji Jingqiu nodded: "I have sensed the opportunity. When I break through this level, it will be the time for me to escape from the cage."
Leng Dao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is a great opportunity on Dongsanhuang Star. You can walk around and take a look, maybe you can be chosen by that person, but remember not to be too persistent. Remember two words.' Just go with it'.
Ji Jingqiu said in surprise: "Brother Dao, you're not talking about He Shuai, are you?"
Leng Dao couldn't help but be startled: "Have you heard about it too?"
Ji Jingqiu nodded and said calmly: "I heard it by accident, but I don't think there is much hope."
Speaking of which, he used this news to exchange some information with the Wilderness Order.
"Things you deliberately look for are often not found. Everything in the world comes and goes in its own time." Ji Jingqiu shrugged.
Leng Dao felt that this sentence made sense.
The two of them chatted for a long time while leaning on the glass terrace.
When talking about Leng Dao's niece, Ji Jingqiu said: "People with a backer can have the motivation to survive no matter how difficult life is."
"You too?" Leng Dao asked.
"Of course." Ji Jingqiu said seriously, "My former backers were my parents and my grandfather."
"And from now on, I will become a supporter for myself and others!"
Listening to Ji Jingqiu's words, Leng Dao didn't find it ridiculous, because he thought Ji Jingqiu could really do it.
He looked down and saw that the sea of clouds below was sometimes turbulent and sometimes calm. Thousands of feet of golden light emerged from under the sea of clouds, like thousands of brilliant gold.
During the chat, Leng Dao suddenly noticed a lot of sweat on Ji Jingqiu's forehead.
Only then did he realize that Ji Jingqiu didn't just want to see the scenery when he appeared here at this time.
Now it's time for his poisonous attack...
He didn't speak anymore, worry appeared in his eyes.
He had never witnessed Ji Jingqiu's illness.
According to what Ji Jingqiu said when giving the prescription, although this prescription can cure the onset of the disease, it will also cause the pain to accumulate little by little until it exceeds the limit that a person can bear.
Now Ji Jingqiu...to what extent has he accumulated?
Leng Dao was silent.
However, to his surprise, Ji Jingqiu remained very calm.
Especially his eyes.
Just like the sky dyed by the sun, it is clear, gentle and warm.
…
…
Huang Fuxing felt heavy and gritted his teeth.
Just now, he received a message from the teacher.
The New Law Sect still noticed something strange and was searching for clues.
He must inform Ji Jingqiu as soon as possible... let him hide and hide again! You must not enter the Kingdom of God in the near future, let alone leave the Four Guardian Stars!
Once the New Law Sect discovers his existence, they will definitely try their best to kidnap Ji Jingqiu back!
…
The Supreme True Buddha Sect.
"His Holiness, we found some clues. For example, the boy named Huang actually only sold one Luo Han Guo to Shenwei Group, but he charged twice the market price."
A middle-aged man reported in a deep voice.
"Oh?" the old man responded. There were deep wrinkles on his face, just like the ravines formed by the continuous erosion of the wasteland by the river. He raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Have you found the whereabouts of the other Luo Han Guo?"
"We are investigating, and there will be clues soon." The middle-aged man quickly replied, "This guy is a thief, and he didn't use his internal power, but I have found clues, and I will soon be able to follow the clues and find the answer."
The old man hummed with satisfaction: "Get it done as soon as possible, and then bring the talents they have hidden in front of me. I want to see what kind of talent the Gufa Sect has such high hopes for."
The middle-aged man said respectfully: "Understood!"
Right now.
The middle-aged man raised his head and suddenly found that the face of the Dharma King in front of him, the strongest of the Supreme True Buddha Sect, suddenly became distorted.
What's going on?
How many things in this world deserve their Dharma King to change his mind like this?
This was his last thought.
The next moment, he was shattered to pieces by a Xuanhe fist that was as vast as the sea, as powerful as a prison, and suppressed the endless sky!
"Ji... Linyuan?!" Zuo Qianqiu recognized this iconic and arrogant fist intention that could no longer be iconic!
Someone came slowly.
The vast fist spirit in his body is hot and boiling, flowing upstream and shining brightly on the heaven and earth.
He is no longer young, but his arrogance is still overwhelming, filling the world.
It was as if time had changed his age, but it could not reduce the arrogance and wantonness in his chest by half.
Feeling the martial will of this fist to suppress the starry sky, Zuo Qianqiu felt as if he was facing a powerful enemy, his eyes widened with anger, completely puzzled that this arrogant junior did not seek bad luck for the Ke family, but instead came to cause trouble for himself!
and…
Such fist intention, such fist intention...
This person was clearly just a junior a hundred years ago! !
today.
Someone comes here for one thing only.
Ask this person who claimed to be the closest to the master a hundred years ago, is it his Dharma that is more powerful, or his fists that are more powerful?
As for the reason.
It's nothing more than what happened on Dongsanhuang Star in those years. The old man basically saw it, but if someone didn't say it, he wouldn't say it either.
But he doesn't say it, but he always...
Something to do.
No...you must try to adjust the update time
