I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 174 - 94: A Leap to the Heavens—Jixia Officially Becomes a Magistrate and Ascends to the Title of Black Mountain Guardian

Baoping State!

Once, the ancient grand pass was established by the 'Great Demon Hunter Master', who drank from the West Sea and measured with his whip. It was breached during the earth-shattering chaos decades ago.

Since then, even with repairs, the three 'Demon Suppression Officers' who once belonged to the lineage of the 'Great Wall' and established three city gates either fell in the first Baoping unrest or vanished without a trace.

Up to now, because the Empress of Great Zhao has not shown herself for a long time, the factions in the Divine Capital are surging covertly, and the power struggle is severe. No one is willing to personally come and rebuild the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall.

With the era of the former state lord 'Pei Nanbei' and Demon Hunter General 'Ye Cang' coming to an end.

Baoping State has not yet regained its vitality after decades.

The True Masters in the fourth step, in combination with both government offices and Jianghu, add up to less than a full pair of hands!

At this time.

Northwest Wilderness.

The three major demon ancestral courts split off eighteen branches!

Following along the 'Seven Prefectures of Baoping State', straight down!

Thus,

within the first century of Great Zhao's establishment.

The 'Second Baoping Unrest' was stirred up!

The three major demon ancestral courts, Jing River Dragon Court, once governed the sea creatures of the world, so shrimps, crabs, fish, snakes...all can join their ranks.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance includes all land-bound birds and beasts.

It was formed when the lineage of demons and monsters was expelled by Great Zhao, with demon monarchs uniting in solidarity, most chaotic and mixed.

Claiming seventy-nine caverns, inheriting seventy-nine dharma lines directly leading to 'Demon Monarch', but how many actually emerged is unknown.

Great Snow Mountain is the ancestral court of the Royal Blood Fox of the Yousu Clan. It is rumored to carry 'Demon Immortal Blood'. The population is sparse and each generation rarely sees a fourth-step warrior.

Yet each generation of Great Snow Profound Fox accumulates its bloodline, storing it at the altar on the mountain.

As a result, each successor, once they fully digest the accumulation, commands the mountain, claiming to be 'unmatched below the fifth step', making Great Snow Mountain an unbreakable ground, the northwest fox race's ancestral court.

This time,

as the vanguard army.

Jing River Dragon Court, after decades, saw a newly ascended 'Ancient Splendor Demon Monarch' opening a new lineage;

Alongside 'Golden Roc Demon Monarch' of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, they descended the mountain, bringing forth a mighty demon army, clashing fiercely against Baoping State's new state lord and Demon Hunter General!

Afterward, defeating them, injuring them severely and causing them to flee!

The governor of one state was defeated, leading several dharma lineage True Masters in Baoping State to come in unison, only to be defeated by Master of Great Snow Mountain, Song Brahman Mirror, burning Royal Blood, battling three to win!

Baoping State, suffered a great defeat!

Thus, the state mansion completely fell!

And...

The combined forces of various demon lineages broke through prefectures and cities, attacking and overtaking prestigious sects, claiming mountains and establishing kingdoms, endlessly!

Among them.

The 'Xuanqing Dragon Vein', under Ancient Splendor Demon Monarch, intended to thrust into Wutong Prefecture, under the demon monarch's order, aimed to erase the past grudge of losing a tail.

And Master of Great Snow Mountain, Song Brahman Mirror,

led his followers to attack Yunluan!

The northwest demons entering Baoping caused the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and all dormant demon crowds to boil over.

In an instant, the Seven Prefectures and Forty-Nine Cities of Baoping were thrown into chaos!

…

Black Mountain, Guardian Mansion!

Swords, spears, axes, and halberds, or hung or placed on weapon racks, presented a solemn scene.

In the austere main hall.

Chen Zhao's face was heavy, leaning on a cane, yet he wasn't seated at the main position but stood beside a young man in a profound robe, appearing as a guard.

Even before Chen Gong and Chen Qingping, the father-daughter arrived.

He was already like this.

The officials and guards in the Guardian Mansion, upon first witnessing this scene, were nearly scared out of their minds.

No one knew what the Lord Guardian of Black Mountain, who had dominated for decades, discussed with the former constable named Jixia during their half-hour in the Song Ancestral Hall.

All they knew...

Once Chen Zhao emerged.

He followed the martial artist named 'Jixia' as if possessed, ready to be commanded.

And immediately,

sent someone to summon the original successor, the eldest son of the Guardian Mansion, Chen Gong, directly back.

Upon arrival, he was commanded to kneel on the spot, along with his legitimate daughter Chen Qingping, unable to escape.

"Thud!"

Beside Chen Gong, Chen Qingping, unable to bear the pressure, her delicate body collapsed, kneeling down.

This scene fell into the eyes of Ji Han, who followed alongside Tantai Yao as a translucent figure, gleefully exclaiming!

From above, he gazed at the humiliated Chen Qingping kneeling on the ground, feeling waves of pleasure.

What could be more satisfying than seeing the culprit being forced to kneel?

Because of his satisfaction, Ji Han didn't notice Tantai Yao, after seeing off Master Xu Qin of the Zither Sword Arts Hall, was slightly absent-minded.

Instead, he excitedly asked:

"Mr. Tantai, can you tell me what secret my brother holds?"

"It's already stunning that he knows you, but...how did he make the Guardian of Black Mountain willingly serve him?"

Tantai Yao glanced at Ji Han but said nothing.

The matter of Song Chai Xin isn't secret, but the secrets and entanglements upon him are too many...revealing them to more people isn't wise.

"Father, I'm an eighth-grade official; Jixia isn't even a commoner, how can he be called 'sir', and why should I kneel to him?"

Seeing Chen Qingping exerting all her energy, collapsed and deprived of pride, Chen Gong held a resentment, standing straight.
