Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 814 - 750: What if I bring the 36 countries of the Western Regions into this great war?
"Junior Brother, you finally came!"
In the tent was the Third Senior Brother Wang Bo, who had come to Longyou Road with Zhang San this time.
After all, Wang Bo had offended many prestigious family clans back then.
During the previous battle of the Red Dust Immortal of the Imperial Path, Wang Bo made a name for himself by striking down the Nether Thunder Gray Eagle in one blow.
Kaihuang seized the opportunity to grant amnesty and arranged for him to join the Ministry of Works.
Although Wang Bo now had a suitable reason to reappear in everyone’s sights, he had nevertheless made too many enemies back then, so he couldn’t walk openly all the time.
This time, Zhang San brought him along, partly to research rune arrays, but also to keep him safer by staying by Zhang San’s side.
"Third Senior Brother, do you remember the Three Lizard Brothers I asked to come? Do you have any thoughts about them?"
Wang Bo smiled and nodded, "The existence of those three perfectly proves that our previous thoughts are feasible. The Path of Ghosts and Gods strengthens itself through the Power of Incense Flame. The more Power of Incense Flame one obtains, the stronger one can become. Conversely, if the incense power is weak, so too is one’s strength. However..."
"Almost all cultivators of the Path of Ghosts and Gods convert the Power of Incense Flame into their own abilities. But like the Three Lizard Brothers, where others believe they have certain abilities, they can indeed have those abilities, it really resembles... the City God."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Zhang San looked confused and couldn’t help but ask, "Third Senior Brother, what does this have to do with the City God?"
Wang Bo asked, "How much do you know about the City God?"
Zhang San slightly shook his head and said in a low voice, "I know very little, just that in some places a local person of prestige or loyalty is enshrined as the City God, considered a minor deity of the place."
Wang Bo explained to Zhang San with a smile, "The so-called City God is the Guardian God of a town. In ancient times, or even earlier dynasties, there were no such deities as City Gods. Do you know why?"
Zhang San shook his head.
In this regard, he had not done any research at all.
"Because whether it was in ancient times or after the establishment of Xia Shang Zhou, how many towns were there? Such places naturally had other spirits to protect them. In villages, there naturally were their own spirits they worshipped. But later, with the increase of towns, more people lived in towns. Those gods that were originally worshipped in rural areas were not enough to protect towns, hence the City Gods came into being!"
"This is the essence of the Path of Ghosts and Gods. Naturally, the Path of Ghosts and Gods needs self-cultivation, but more so the Power of Incense Flame. However, the Three Lizard Brothers have a feeling of not cultivating themselves at all, completely relying on the Power of Incense Flame to become initiated."
"Therefore, although observing the three of them helps us in building the framework for the Dominion over the Six Paths, I think it would be better to find a strong person who is proficient in the Path of Ghosts and Gods."
Mentioning this, Zhang San couldn’t help but think of someone among the Twelve Superior Demons of the Path of All Things in the Town Demon Office.
"Third Senior Brother, rest assured, I know one of the Twelve Superior Demons of the Path of All Things is still present on Longyou Road, who also cultivates the Path of Ghosts and Gods and has made significant achievements in it. I will go find him to cooperate together afterward."
Wang Bo smiled satisfactorily and said, "That’s very good."
...
In the territory of the Wolf Clan, Qian Shanxiu, who had just returned, encountered a heavily injured cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm.
From a distance, Qian Shanxiu noticed the person’s severely injured back and wanted to launch a sneak attack.
But upon approaching, he realized that it was someone under his own command?
Qian Shanxiu immediately went over and supported him.
"What happened?"
The injuries on the Purple Mansion Realm cultivator were not actually that severe, he just knew he’d soon be returning to the North Wind Wolf Clan’s territory, where he’d face Qian Shanxiu’s wrath, so he became increasingly anxious, pretending to be grievously injured.
"Chief, there’s big trouble! Sai Baihua led us to ambush Zhang San, but people from the Town Demon Office turned on us and helped Zhang San counter-ambush us!"
Hearing this, Qian Shanxiu was shocked.
All along, in Qian Shanxiu’s view, although he’d been with the Demon Clan, he still maintained control over the Town Demon Office.
He was just worried that being too blatant about appearing at the Town Demon Office’s base would make it too easy for someone Kaihuang sent to lock onto him, and then having Li Moxian come after him.
And then, if he had to fight, he couldn’t win at all.
If he ran, it would make him look cowardly.
So the best method was to not show up publicly.
But unexpectedly, after he went out once, Sai Baihua managed to completely wipe out his loyal team!
And what surprised Qian Shanxiu even more, was that a Tiger Demon beside Zhang San had the chance to gain the Bloodline Power of the White Tiger family, and directly advanced to become a supreme demon.
Qian Shanxiu realized that if the North Wind Wolf King found out about this, there would definitely be a disturbance.
Thus, Qian Shanxiu must ensure the North Wind Wolf King doesn’t find out about this.
So after giving his remaining loyalist a powerful Healing Pill, he went to find the North Wind Wolf King.
"Qian Shanxiu, you’re here? Miss Hu has already written a letter to her grandpa."
Qian Shanxiu immediately asked, "Did you see what was written? Is there anything that would harm you?"
The North Wind Wolf King laughed heartily.
"Not at all, she even asked her clan leader grandpa to prepare more dowries! She said it has to be grand and glorious! Hahahaha..."
Although Qian Shanxiu didn’t quite believe the North Wind Wolf King could do such a thing well, the result indeed seemed successful.
As for the process, it was no longer important for Qian Shanxiu now.
After all, the result was good.
And the reason he came to find the North Wind Wolf King was to discuss another matter.
"Zhang San has arrived at Longyou Road, and it appears he must have used some cunning method to turn some of my less loyal subordinates in the Town Demon Office. I even suspect there’s someone skillful backing him!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Actually, Qian Shanxiu knew that with Zhang San’s ability, he could even deal with the Crown Prince, let alone handle his subordinates in the Town Demon Office.
Moreover, his true confidants were always by his side, those that Zhang San turned were never truly loyal.
Saying it this way would allow the North Wind Wolf King to grasp the current crisis but not feel so threatened as to give up.
Indeed, after hearing Qian Shanxiu’s words, the North Wind Wolf King was somewhat worried.
After all, he had just settled things with Hu Xingxiang, and now Zhang San caused trouble, wouldn’t that mean all his efforts were in vain!
"This period, Zhang San is very likely to target you! So I plan to help you by causing some trouble for Zhang San."
Hearing this, the North Wind Wolf King smiled happily and said to Qian Shanxiu, "With you, it’s really great!"
"But... to cause trouble for Zhang San, we might need to use the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions’ power. So, I need some funds!"
"Hmm!?"
