Chapter 208 Water is born in Jin Cangzhou Immortal Sword
Zuo Qing and Zuo An originally planned to reveal a flaw and then let Gao Jian in, bringing some external pressure and forcing the Zuo family to complete internal integration.

However, they greatly underestimated the pressure that Gao Jian brought.

Rat Mountain caught them off guard.

Zuo Qing is giving orders.

It can be seen that several practitioners from the Zuo family are rushing towards a secret room.

Obviously, they were going to wake up their ancestors.

The ancestor of the Zuo family, Zuo Lang.

If he breaks through, he will be a sorcerer of the tenth realm, a grandmaster of the second level, and one of the top masters in the entire Divine Dynasty.

Even if he hadn't made a breakthrough, he was still a ninth-level wizard.

Once he comes out, the whole situation will be reversed in an instant.

This is Zuo An and Zuo Qing’s last trump card.

No matter how big the disadvantage is, it doesn’t matter as long as we awaken our ancestors.

It is impossible for Gao Jian to take out a second ninth realm, because even if Shangshu Li Zuofang himself wants to employ a helper of Jingjiang Jun's level, he has to rely on luck.

Do you really think that Jiujing is a cabbage on the roadside? If the Zuo family had not been greedy and secretly killed Shun Dansha for their own profit, Gao Jian would never have been able to catch such a flaw.

So... as long as we wake up our ancestors...

But just as they were thinking this, a sword energy came from the sky.

The pure white sword energy broke through the air, and a clear and crisp sound was heard in the air. The air vibrated, and one could vaguely see the bright sword energy cutting through all obstacles in front of it with a "swish", and a natural chasm was plowed out wherever it passed. In just a moment, the pure white sword light had rushed into the battle.

It was like sunlight piercing through the clouds! A heavy blow seemed to be able to break through all the flowing energy that was dissipating the force.

A part of the aftermath of this sword energy split the Baishan River.

The flow of the Baishan River stagnated, and soon after, part of this half of the Baishan River even began to flow backwards.

The upstream water and the downstream water collided with each other, creating huge waves.

Draw a knife to cut the water, the water will not flow!

The clear water flows eastward, but from where the sword cuts, the river water flows back upstream!

Wherever the sword energy goes, strong wind whirls, and sand and rocks fly!
Gao Jian looked at the sword energy coming at him and felt a sharp pain in his eyes, forcing him to turn sideways and not look at the sword energy.

He was just looking at them, not even facing them. Just by seeing the sword lights, the sword energy went straight into his eyes, making him feel like there was sand in his eyes.

Fortunately, he was not injured.

After all, he was not targeted by the sword light at all, he just "took a look".

The ones targeted by the sword light were the elders of the Zuo family.

The sword energy fell to the ground.

One of them took the initiative to step forward to resist. One could see that the defensive spells around him were being gradually weakened, but the sword light did not show any sign of weakening.

It was not until the second elder came forward to help that they were able to resist the sword light.

But at the same time……

Jingjiang Jun transformed into his true form and swallowed Zuoshouwan with his dragon mouth.

Didn't even make a sound.

With four people in the eighth realm taking advantage of the terrain, there was nothing they could do to stop him.

But, two people in the eighth realm, that's a bit too arrogant.

"No, send two people out. Do you think I'm a dead man?" Jingjiang Jun stuttered, a little unhappy.

"Don't talk while eating, it's impolite." Gao Jian mentioned this as he passed by.

Jingjiang-jun swept over with his tail and knocked Gao Jian away.

"You are the only one who talks too much." The unpleasant voice of the real dragon came.

But this was not a random sweep.

Gao Jian was swept away, and then landed in front of the messengers at an extremely fast speed.

Gao Jian fell to the ground, leaving a huge pit. The members of the Zuo family who were about to go to the ancestor to report the news quickly retreated.

But as soon as they retreated, they were greeted by a bright flash of a sword.

There were three people who went to report the news, and one of them was beheaded on the spot.

The other two were so frightened that they immediately split into two groups and fled.

On the left side, the tide of rats was already rushing away.

On the right side, Gao Jian chased after him with a knife in hand.

Then, the next moment... another sword energy attacked, also from the Lord of Rat Mountain, but this time, the intensity was much lower.

It seems that his sword energy needs to be accumulated. The longer it is accumulated, the more powerful it is. He has been accumulating energy for so many years, so one sword forced the elder of the Zuo family to show a flaw, and Jingjiang Jun took it.

The follow-up was a bit weaker.

But, it is enough.

The battle seemed to have become one-sided.

Zuo Qing was sweating profusely now.

Zuo An is dead, which is actually a good thing for Zuo Qing.

But the problem is... the current situation is not good.

After Shushan's clever plan took effect, the Zuo family's original foundation has turned into the power of the current Shuchao.

Rat Tide and Jingjiang Jun have become the main force in the battle.

It can be seen that almost all of the Zuo family's high-end combat power, including the remaining gods above the seventh realm and the Zuo family's own combat power, are dealing with Jingjiang Jun.

The rest are desperately fighting against the rat tide.

Gao Jian actually only did some trivial things, such as intercepting and killing some people who tried to leak information.

To be honest, the battle has developed to this point and there is almost no suspense.

Gao Jian and Li Zuofang were very well prepared.

The timing was perfect, as the Zuo family was showing signs of fatigue. Everyone's opinion counted and no one's opinion counted. The outside was pressing hard and the family was bleeding heavily, but no one inside wanted to give in.

Moreover, Zuo An and Zuo Qing were too arrogant and took the initiative to expose their weaknesses, so Gao Jian seized the opportunity. It just so happened that Zuo Lang, the ancestor of the Zuo family, was in seclusion...

And the fighting power is too strong.

On the Shu Mountain side, Shu Jian's divine move snatched away the Zuo family's heritage, which greatly strengthened the alien rats in Shu Mountain. At the same time, the oppressive power of Jingjiang Jun as a true dragon of the Ninth Realm was also fully revealed.

Under this situation, if the Zuo family does not wake up Zuo Lang, they really have no qualifications to maintain the situation.

The attitudes of other families also seem very subtle.

Zuo Qing's face was covered in cold sweat.

The most urgent task is to wake up our ancestors first.

But it seems a little too late.

Both Gao Jian and Shuchao stopped him from sending anyone.

As for high-end combat power, since an elder of the clan was restrained and died by the sword light, it is already stretched to the limit to be able to stop the real dragon, and they may not be able to hold on for long.

So...what should we do?
We can't delay any longer, we have to break the impasse. Then...

That's the only way.

Go ask for help...from the Li family.

Zuo Qing gritted his teeth and looked into the distance, the direction where Zuo An had just died.

Is this also... Zuo An’s plan?
Zuo An’s death directly left Zuo Qing with no choice.

If Zuo An was still alive and the Pantheon could still contain the enemy, this problem would not have occurred.

Zuo An died, so Zuo Qing would lose his choice. Zuo An used his death to direct the Zuo family's path in the direction he wanted.

He may not want to die, but if it really comes to the stage where he must die, Zuo An will definitely not mind using his own life as the final bargaining chip to advance his plan.

Zuo An definitely has this kind of magnanimity.

So... when Zuo An gave the choice to Zuo Qing and went out to fight the enemy himself, he was actually retreating to advance. It seemed that he gave the initiative to Zuo Qing, but in fact, once his situation collapsed, Zuo Qing would no longer have any choice.

Damn it, at this time, you are still plotting against your own people.

The Zuo family has fallen to this stage because there are too many people like this!

But no way.

Zuo Qing actually didn't want to do this, but seeing the black dragon and the tide of rats wreaking havoc in the family garden, and seeing the originally peaceful family being messed up like this, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

He doesn't have much time left.

Then, Zuo Qing stretched out his hand and drew a symbol.

In front of everyone, he drew the symbol.

Seeing this, several elders continued to fight against Jingjiang Jun.

The other families finally reacted as well. They began to increase their defenses and paid more attention to Gao Jian, obviously wanting to know how Gao Jian was going to deal with it.

However, Gao Jian didn't seem to react.

He still just stopped others from notifying Zuo Lang.

The secret room where Zuo Lang was located was extremely strictly controlled by various formations, and it was impossible to get any message in easily. However, this strictness had become a helper for Gao Jian.

Thanks to the fact that this place didn't cut any corners, even though the outside was beaten up like this, there was still no reaction inside.

Gao Jian certainly saw the symbols drawn by Zuo Qing.

But he was very calm and didn't think there was anything special.

Just quietly waiting for the other person to finish painting.

then……

As expected, a strange fluctuation appeared in the sky.

The vibration was transmitted to the divine capital Yangjing through some special channel.

--------

In Yangjing, in a mansion.

There is an office in the mansion. Here, dozens of people are facing various communication devices, seemingly monitoring the movements inside.

The Li family is the leader of the witches and shamans, and is also the representative of the witches and shamans in the capital. Naturally, they are responsible for connecting with many witches and shamans.

At this time, one of them suddenly said, "News from the Zuo family in Cangzhou."

"Oh, the Zuo family? Didn't they always want to break away from us?"

"It's not that easy. They must have encountered a problem that they can't solve, right? For example... the official document that Li Zuofang issued earlier."

"Li Zuofang? Ha, the Zuo family has been drifting further and further away from us in recent years, so it's only natural to ask Li Zuofang to help knock on the door, but... I heard that this is the order from above?"

"Don't ask so many questions. It has nothing to do with us. Just report it."

A few people said a few more words and then reported the news.

At this moment, the head of the Li family was drinking with someone.

There was not much to eat at the banquet, just a few side dishes and a pot of rice wine. It was obvious at first glance that it was not a big banquet, but just a private drink.

But, with whom?

Anyone who is qualified to sit at the same table and drink with the head of the Li family is naturally the top person in the Divine Dynasty.

He is...the Minister of Revenue, Li Zuofang.

Li Zuofang sat at the wine table, watching the pottery cooking wine in front of him. He scooped a cup with the wine cup, took a sip, and smiled at the head of the Li family, "Then, regarding the sacrificial affairs of Cangzhou, the Li family should have no problem, right?"

"Hey, Minister Li, what are you saying to spoil the fun? Look, it's winter now, and there's a bamboo forest outside. It's the perfect time to listen to the snow. Why bother talking about those mundane things?" The head of the Li family shook his head.

Li Zuofang was speechless, but he immediately continued, "Indeed, I have often heard that the sound of falling snow is most elegant among bamboos. On a cold night in the mountain window, you can sometimes hear the sound of snow falling on the bamboo forest, rustling and rustling, with a leisurely rhythm. If you are a hermit, you can listen to the sound of bamboos rustling around you, which is really elegant."

"It's just that if we only do this in winter, it would be a bit stingy."

"Winter is the end, when all things come to an end. The sun reaches its end, the moon reaches its end, the stars return to the sky, and the numbers are about to end. A gentleman should carefully judge the seasons and regulate his life to protect his life."

"Winter is the end of the day. The beginning of winter is the water phase. The winter solstice is the peak of water. The beginning of spring is the rest of water. The autumnal equinox is the fetus of water. Water is pregnant with gold. I think the Li family should have been prepared, right?"

After saying this series of words, Li Zuofang stared at the other person.

The head of the Li family sighed and said, "Minister Li, I know you want to do something, and I also know that you are very efficient, but many times, you are very annoying. You could have done it slowly and carefully. Why are you so impatient?"

"There's not much time left." Li Zuofang emphasized.

The head of the Li family shook his head and replied, "But you are so annoying. I am willing to cooperate with you. In fact, you should have guessed that I have wanted to do this for a long time. It's just... you are so eager and clear to bring up these things, which makes me very unhappy and unwilling to do it. It is obviously a good thing for everyone, why do you do it so annoyingly?"

This is exactly what Li Zuofang is not good at.

What you do are all good things, and it is reasonable and logical to do so, but that attitude makes people feel unhappy. You do things, but you get no good results, and it will only make the relationship awkward.

"Only by doing this can I stand firm. Okay, let's not say any more. So, when will the head of the family leave?" Li Zuofang asked.

"Now, Shangshu, do you want to go with me?"

"Haha, let's go together. Let's go together. I'll watch from the side. It shouldn't be taboo, right?"

"What taboos can there be in Cangzhou? It was originally a garbage dump when the land was enclosed... Oh, I spoke out of turn. He deserves to be beaten." The head of the Li family patted his mouth lightly.

"Well, to be honest, what's there to fight about? Although I was born in Cangzhou, that place is indeed a garbage dump and it's time to clean it up. Other families are quite obedient, but the Zuo family is still thinking about various things. Today is about the time." Li Zuofang said with a smile.

"Then let's go."

So, the two of them stood up.

Obvious.

Zuo Qing’s guess was correct.

The Li family cannot be trusted.

The downfall of the Zuo family was doomed long ago, because it was arranged by the Li family.

Winter is the end of the day. The beginning of winter is the water phase. The winter solstice is the time when water is abundant. The beginning of spring is the time when water stops. The autumnal equinox is the time when water is pregnant. This means that water is pregnant with metal.

What is the greatest murderous gold in Cangzhou?
It was the immortal sword hanging above the Baishan River.

That sword was hung there by the Li family 2,600 years ago.

However, I saw two people strolling leisurely on the Baishan River.

One of them took down the long sword.
