Difficult Face

While Ye Fan was dealing with the trivial matters before leaving, he was also thinking about where he would go after leaving Canglan Country.

The human race of the Shenwu Continent has "one emperor, one religion, seven sects, ten ancient lands and the Holy Family", which refers to the most powerful forces in the Dongzhou human race of the Shenwu Continent.

The Zixuan Dynasty is undoubtedly the largest power in the ranking, with a huge territory directly under the dynasty and countless areas of 800 vassal states. But there is also a disadvantage to joining the Zixuan Dynasty, that is, you must join as King Wu and become a minister. Moreover, if you want to get a high position in the dynasty, you must participate in the Zixuan Dynasty Imperial Examination as the King of Wu to get a rank. This is a more advanced examination than the imperial examination of Canglan Kingdom.

The Zixuan Army is a huge army that is affiliated with the dynasty and acts entirely on the orders of the dynasty. It fights with the other three major clans on the border of Dongzhou all year round, working hard for the dynasty. Joining the Zixuan Army is better than joining the Zixuan Dynasty and having more autonomy.

If he wanted to join a certain force, his priority would of course be the Zixuan Dynasty.

However, he is not King Wu and cannot legitimately enter the Zixuan Dynasty as King Wu.

And King Dou Guoxu Wu invited him to join the Zixuan Army, not the Zixuan Dynasty. He is now a Wuhou cultivator and can only join the Zixuan Army and cannot join the Zixuan Dynasty.

So Ye Fan actually didn't have many thoughts about joining the Zixuan Army. After the battle with the Canglan Kingdom, he needed to find a way to break through to the Martial King Stage.

The Zixuan State Religion is the second largest force after the Imperial Dynasty, and it also belongs to the human race's orthodoxy. However, within the state religion, the priesthood is the main occupation, supplemented by others. Therefore, if you do not pursue priesthood as your lifelong pursuit, there is little point in joining.

Ye Fan has little interest in Zixuan Guojiao.

The seven major sects are the third largest force, namely the seven major human sects, Wenxin Sect, Lingxiao Sect, Zihuang Sect, Cangyan Sect, Danxia Sect, Fanhai Sect, and Qingyu Sect.

The sects ranked first are naturally stronger. The leader of the seven major sects is the Wenxin Sect.

This time, a total of three sects sent King Wu to invite him to join. They were the three weaker sects, Danxia Sect, Fanhai Sect, and Qingyu Sect. The other four major sects did not send anyone.

Ye Fan is more interested in these sects. As a Martial King, you can directly become an inner disciple. But as a Wuhou, you can also join these sects, but the status is lower, and you are only an outer disciple.

In addition to these "one emperor, one religion and seven sects", there are the "Ten Ancient Lands and the Holy Family".

The Holy Family refers to the numerous Martial Saint families in the Shenwu Continent. They are basically independent sects and do not need to rely on any other forces. No force will easily offend these Holy Families.

"If the Martial Saint does not die, the Holy Family will not decline!"

Of course, once the Martial Saint falls and passes away, the Holy Family will inevitably decline.

Most of the Holy Families do not accept outsiders, and there are only a few talented men and women who can "marry into, or marry into" the Holy Family. It can be said that the conditions for joining the Holy Family are the most demanding, far more than those for joining other forces.

Ye Fan certainly did not consider the Holy Family.

Finally, there are the ten major ancient land forces. These ten ancient lands are where Sanwu cultivators gather, and there are many power organizations within them. The biggest advantage of the Ten Ancient Lands is freedom without too many restrictions. If a certain martial artist is strong, he can build his own power in the ten ancient places and form his own sect.

If there is no other place to go, these ten ancient places may not be a bad place to go.

Ye Fan cleared his thoughts.

Seven sects, or ten ancient places. After he left the Canglan Kingdom, he chose a place to go.

…

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

The time agreed between Ye Fan and the Martial Kings has arrived, and he needs to give an accurate answer to the Martial Kings, whether he has decided to join the Zixuan Army or the other major Shenwu Sects.

Dou Guoxu, Han Xiao, Yu Tianxin and other King Wu came to the residence of the Minister of War in Ningbian City. Wang Luodan also came. She did not invite Ye Fan to join the Zixuan Guojiao, but she wanted to see the result and which side Ye Fan finally chose to join.

The guests of honor took their seats, and the maids in the palace served tea to the distinguished guests of King Wu.

"I heard that Brother Ye has accepted the farewell gift from Lord Canglan. He must have made a decision to choose one of us! Brother Ye, just say it bluntly, no matter which side you choose, we respect Brother Ye's decision! "

King Dou Guoxu Wu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and smiled politely.

Although Ye Fan is currently in the realm of Wuhou, he has an extremely powerful mammoth beast king, and his strength is not much worse than those of them.

And based on their observations, Ye Fan's qualifications in all aspects are excellent. Once Ye Fan breaks through to the realm of King Wu, his status will probably quickly rise above them.

Naturally, they would treat Ye Fan politely as the King of Wu, and would not discriminate against his current level of cultivation as the Marquis of Wu.

The other martial kings also nodded, looking forward to Mark's answer.

"I've already made a decision."

Ye Fan nodded and said: "But there is another important thing. I must explain it clearly to you first, so that you will not blame me when the time comes. I will not explain such an important thing to you clearly."

"Oh, please tell me! There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved. We have many disciples here from the Zixuan Dynasty, major sects, and the Zixuan National Religion."

Dou Guoxu smiled.

"You also saw the battle between me and Fox King Su Yang that day. You should still remember that Fox King Su Yang once released a holy talisman of the Fox Saint on me. That holy talisman is still on my heart. The name of this holy talisman is 'Seven orifices and Exquisite Heart Lock'! Do you know what this means?"

Ye Fan looked at the martial kings and said calmly.

"Holy talisman, we almost ignored this! Seeing that you were fine, we thought the holy talisman had no effect. Unexpectedly, it is still in your body!"

"But, what is the 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart Lock'? Why have I never heard of it?!"

All the martial kings looked at each other with confusion and confusion.

King Wu has broad knowledge, but after all, he does not know everything.

None of them have heard of what the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart Lock is, and of course they don't know its purpose.

Ye Fan said calmly: "I was lucky enough to see the introduction of this holy talisman in a book. This 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart Lock' is very rare. It can only be created by humans or beasts who have seven orifices. A kind of heart lock. The Fox Saint must have an exquisite heart with seven orifices, so it can easily create this heart lock. This heart lock has only one purpose - to lock the heart! Lock the heart of martial arts! This lock is a If I don't understand it, I have no hope of becoming the King of Martial Arts any day."

"Lock the heart of martial arts?!"

"It's simply unbelievable that there is such a vicious heart lock that can lock the heart of martial arts!"

The martial kings were suddenly shocked, their eyes showing shock.

This is the first time they know that there is such a magical heart lock that can seal the realm of martial arts. Understanding the heart of martial arts is the key to breaking through the Martial King.

Fortunately, they have become Martial Kings, otherwise they would be crying without tears if they encountered such a terrible heart lock.

Unless Ye Fan has extremely powerful human and high-level orc bloodline talent, he can rely on bloodline power to break through the realm of King Wu. Born with the blood of a beast king like a mammoth.

But this kind of powerful bloodline talent often appears in the Zixuan royal family, the princes and royal families, and the Shenwu Saint family.

Ye Fan was born as a commoner and his bloodline was extremely low.

"Doesn't that mean that it's impossible for you to become a Martial King?! No, if you are insulated from the heart of martial arts, you may not even be able to become a fake Martial King?"

Dou Guoxu's face became extremely ugly.

He had already planned that even if Ye Fan could not become the King of Martial Arts in the end, he could at least become a disciple of other Martial Kings and borrow their martial arts hearts to become a fake Martial King.

The fighting power of the pseudo-King Wu is also very powerful.

He spent a lot of money to recruit Ye Fan to join the Zixuan Army, and the deal was not considered a loss.

"The heart of martial arts is sealed, and there is no hope of entering the realm of the King of Martial Arts?"

"That's Brother Ye. If Brother Ye doesn't break his heart, he has no hope of getting ahead anywhere!"

Han Xiao, Yu Tianxin and other King Wu were also stunned. They did not expect that such a terrible thing would happen to Ye Fan.

They only saw that the mammoth's lethality was blocked by the holy chain, but they far underestimated the viciousness of the Fox Saint and used a desperate move.

The Elephant Saint and the Fox Saint joined forces to lower two rays of holy light. Although they failed to snatch the mammoth away from the Dongzhou people, they had already driven Ye Fan into the dark abyss of endless darkness, causing him to stagnate in the realm of Wuhou.

Fox Saint's plan far exceeded their imagination.

Ye Fan nodded lightly and said, "That's right! The heart of martial arts has been sealed. I can't understand the heart of martial arts myself, nor can I get a false heart of martial arts by worshiping King Wu as my teacher. Therefore, you invite me to join the Zixuan Army, Or the sect. I have no other requirements, I just hope that whoever can ask a Martial Emperor to help me crack the 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart Lock' holy talisman, I will join their force!"

"Alas! Little Brother Ye was plotted by the Elephant Saint and the Fox Saint at the same time and cut off his path to martial arts. This is really jealous of talented people. Wealth is easy to talk about, but asking a Martial Emperor to crack the holy talisman is not something I can do. Observation enables determination."

Dou Guoxu shook his head and sighed.

Cracking the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart Sacred Talisman is itself an extremely difficult and energy-consuming task.

What's more, if any Martial Emperor breaks this holy talisman, he will be directly opposing the Fox Saint. No matter which Martial Emperor he is, he will hesitate again and again.

Before becoming a Martial Saint, setting up a Beast Saint as an enemy was something the Martial Emperors were unwilling to do. Unless they become a Martial Saint, they don't need to care what the Fox Saint thinks.

"That's right! It's too difficult to ask a Martial Emperor to take action, and it's hard for us to make the decision on this matter!"

In the hall, all the martial arts kings learned that Ye Fan had been locked up by Fox Saint's Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, which had locked up his martial arts heart, and his value had plummeted. They all changed their colors at the same time, and never mentioned the word "win over" again.

"Our Qingyu Sect is still willing to offer the previous conditions and invite little brother Ye to join our Qingyu Sect!"

Only Han Xiao is still trying to win over Ye Fan, hoping that Ye Fan can go to Qingyu Sect, and the conditions offered are still the same as before. However, it was impossible to ask a Martial Emperor to help Ye Fan lift the heart lock.

But Han Xiao's condition was rejected by Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was disdainful. Han Xiao's ultimate goal was nothing more than the mammoth beast king Da Hui, so he didn't really mind whether he was a Martial King or a Martial Lord.

There is always only one condition offered by Ye Fan, which is to ask a Martial Emperor to help him unlock the Heart of the Fox Saint.

The martial arts kings saw that Ye Fan's price was too high and they couldn't do it at all. Moreover, Ye Fan's value worth wooing dropped sharply after his martial arts heart was locked, so they could only leave one after another.

"You Martial Kings, move slowly!"

Ye Fan still looked calm and sent the martial kings away from the residence of the Minister of War. The outcome of today's meeting was not surprising.

The last Martial King to leave was Wang Luodan of Zixuan Guojiao.

Ye Fan sent her to the door of the mansion.

"I see that you have fallen into the Fox Saint's Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart Lock, and there is no hope of breaking through to the realm of the King of Martial Arts. You have also been rejected by the King of Martial Arts of the Zixuan Dynasty and several major sects, and your future is probably bleak. After accepting the king's farewell gift, I am afraid that this will not be the best for you." Lan Guo won't stay either. But you don't look sad at all. Is there any other way out?!"

Wang Luodan smiled meaningfully.
