Best Ascension

Chapter 467

Zhao Sheng took out gold, wood, wind, and fire four top-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, which corresponded to the spirit root attributes of the four princes.

When Ninth Patriarch Zhao Zhenhai saw that he took out four priceless top-quality spirit stones, he was immediately surprised, but because of face, he could only resist the impulse and watched without saying a word.

Patriarch Qingshan was also very surprised, and secretly slandered: "It's just the four princes, and the sixteenth is willing to give away top-quality spirit stones. It's a waste of money! If you don't need it, you can exchange it with the old man!"

Zhao Sheng didn't know the resentment in the Seventh Patriarch's heart, so he lightly threw the spirit stone into the air and waved his sleeve at the same time.

Hu~hu~
All of a sudden, four kinds of heaven and earth spirit fires, namely, the thunder essence flame, the golden crow fire, the samadhi fire, and the molten gold fire, shot out from the bottom of the sleeve. After flying into the air, each held the corresponding spirit stone, and then began to smelt it. stand up.

The four spiritual stones were ups and downs in the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, but they were smelted into crystal clear orbs with restrained aura in a short while.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to recall the orb, and at the same time, the spiritual fire of heaven and earth turned into a fireball, flew back into the sleeve robe like lightning, and disappeared.

Twirling a precious orb casually, Zhao Sheng suddenly shot out a dazzling divine light between his brows, which flashed into the vortex of spiritual energy of the orb, turning into a faint light and shadow, faintly surging with inexplicable fluctuations.

Next, he concocted it according to the law, and injected all the remaining three orbs into a distraction consciousness.

After finishing this, Zhao Sheng paled slightly, flicked his fingers, and the four distraction orbs fell into the arms of the four princes respectively.

At this time, he explained calmly: "I will reward you with a little gadget that I made casually. If you poke your spiritual sense into it, you will be pleasantly surprised!"

The four princes looked at each other, and immediately followed the ancestor's instructions, and inserted their spiritual sense into the orb.

All of a sudden, the four of them froze there at the same time, their eyes became empty, but pain soon appeared on their faces.

In just a few breaths, the four of them cried out in pain one after another and recovered their sanity one after another, but all of them showed complex expressions of pain and excitement on their faces.

"Grandson, thanks to the ancestor for giving me the treasure!"

After regaining consciousness, the four of them knelt down at the same time, saluted respectfully and shouted loudly.

Zhao Zhenhai at the side looked curiously, and couldn't help but ask: "Sixteen, what treasure did you refine just now? How did you make these bastards with eyes above the top so excited?"

Patriarch Qingshan and Holy Emperor Zhao Dutian also looked over curiously.

At this time, Zhao Sheng's face had returned to normal. Hearing this, several people briefly explained.

It turned out that he had refined the four distraction consciousness into the orb just now.

These four distractions are not trivial, and their spirituality is as high as that of a real person.

When someone probes into the space of the orb, the distracted consciousness will automatically evolve into a "Zhao Sheng", who will keep fighting with the tester until one side loses

The cultivation of this battle "Zhao Sheng" will be actively suppressed to the point where it is equivalent to that of a tester, but he has most of the actual combat experience and memory of Zhao Sheng in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Think about it, a Nascent Soul Patriarch personally accompanies you to play actual combat, and you can play whenever you want. In the end, there is no danger to your life, and it only consumes part of your mental power.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
One can imagine why the four princes were so excited.

Of course, Zhao Sheng's willingness to send out the four distraction consciousnesses also has other deep meanings.

After a hundred years, the aura in the spirit stone could no longer withstand the consumption of distraction, so he would naturally take back the orb, and by the way restore the spirit to perfection.

After hearing this, Patriarch Qingshan was shocked and said: "Qiaotian, you actually practiced the "Star God Thousand Hearts Jue". You are so confused! This tactic has long been listed as a taboo method, and people of our clan must not practice it. You must know that in the early years , nearly a hundred people in the family have practiced this magic formula, but most of them ended up insane and lost their minds! There are only seven or eight people who succeeded, but they were all killed by the inner demons when they crossed the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

Therefore, as early as 500 years ago, the ancestors banned this tactic and did not allow us to touch it.

Qiong Tian, ​​where did you obtain this tactic? "

Zhao Sheng's heart trembled when he heard the words, his thoughts changed, and he immediately thought of an excellent excuse.

"Well, didn't the ancestor tell you? I found the place where the Qingyang ancestor was enshrined in the early years, so I got his true biography. This "Xing Shen Qian Xin Jue" is also in it." Zhao Sheng pretended said in surprise.

Hearing this explanation, Patriarch Qingshan and the others suddenly realized. Only then did they remember that Laoshiliu had a relationship with Patriarch Qingyang, so they no longer doubted it.

Patriarch Qingshan ordered the four princes to retreat after his suspicions disappeared.

When there were only four of them left in the hall, Zhao Zhenhai began to tell the two of them about the recent situation in the city of God, as well as the new information collected one after another.

During this period, Sacred Emperor Zhao Dutian also occasionally made supplementary remarks.

After a while, Zhao Sheng already had a very clear understanding of the current situation in Shendu.

Generally speaking, the situation in Shendu is still calm, but occasionally, disciples of the two demon sects of corpses and souls suddenly launch suicide attacks, causing small disturbances.

The purpose of the two religions sending dead soldiers like this seems to be to disturb the peaceful atmosphere in the capital of God, and to make people panic.

Until now, only some small shrimps showed up, and the most powerful ones were only in the late stage of foundation establishment, not even a demonic golden elixir.

However, according to more and more spy reports, there are various indications that the two sects of Ten Thousand Corpse and Ten Thousand Soul definitely want to make a big fuss in the capital of God.

In order to be safe, the holy emperor Zhao Dutian needs to be guarded by an ancestor of Yuanying at all times.

Therefore, the three of Zhao Sheng discussed together and quickly decided on a division of labor. Zhao Zhenhai was permanently stationed in the Tai Chi Hall to protect the safety of the Holy Emperor.

Patriarch Qingshan and Zhao Sheng belonged to the mobile force, ready to guard against the sudden killing of the Heavenly Corpse Master, the Fucking Lord, and even more enemies.

Of course, the few people were not too worried about Zhao Dutian's personal safety, because there are almost no fools in this world who would dare to enter the imperial city.

Just because the imperial city and the inner city of God's Capital were also built by the ancestor Zhao Xuanjing himself, the huge formations arranged in the city and the trump card that no one knew were enough to make anyone except Zhenjun retreat.

On the same day, Zhao Dutian summoned the Dimai people in Shendu to hold a grand celebration for Zhao Sheng and the two of them in person.

The purpose of this move is threefold: one is to welcome the ancestors to visit the god capital, the other is to appease people's hearts, and the third is to frighten the young people who hide in the dark, and it is best to make them retreat.

On the second day, Zhao Sheng moved into the newly built palace specially for him, and declared to the outside world that he was retreating, but in fact, his real body had already slipped out of the palace, and he was playing in the capital of God at will.

In the next half month, Zhao Sheng traveled all over the inner city and most of the outer city, leaving countless marks secretly.

During this period, the gods were peaceful, as if all the unruly people were deeply lurking.

However, what a master Zhao Sheng is!
During his tour of the city for half a month, he took many shots and caught many demons and heretics.

As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds!

After all, Shendu is one of the most prosperous capitals in the Tianzhu world.

Those who live in this huge city that covers hundreds of miles, those who live in seclusion, and those who hide from the enemy, there are a lot of evil heretics.

With Zhao Sheng Yuanying's late stage cultivation base, finding these hidden demons and heretics is simply overkill!
It's just that many people have been arrested, but there are very few disciples belonging to the two sects of corpse and soul.

With a little bit of trickery, he caused a group of remnants to die of pain, and hurriedly confessed everything he knew.

The previous intelligence was not wrong, and the Ten Thousand Corpse Sect and the Ten Thousand Soul Sect were really screwed up, so they secretly wanted revenge.

It's just that all those who appeared on the stage of Shendu were abandoned children. The backbone of the two religions and even the ancestor of Yuanying were all hidden very deeply, and they didn't show their feet at all.

Just when Zhao Sheng thought that the situation would continue to be deadlocked, urgent reports came from thousands of miles away from the eastern border of the Zhao Dynasty.

"...Three days ago, the governor of Gandang Province was assassinated and died. The assassin was masked in black robes, and at the same time sent hundreds of corpses in bronze armor. It is suspected to be the dead woman of the Ten Thousand Corpse Sect. The murderer is currently missing..."

"... Five days ago, the governor of Hexi Province suddenly disappeared at night for no reason. I don't know who did it. But there is a very faint ghost aura in the dormitory, and the breath is extremely dark and pure. The one who takes it away is suspected to be the Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivator"

".Yesterday, when Prince Qian traveled to Baixiu Mountain, a masked man suddenly attacked the camp. A thousand Imperial Spirit Army formed an array to meet the enemy, but the entire army was wiped out. Prince Qian was taken away by the masked man and disappeared... shot The person suspected to be a real person in the late Jindan period, or even the ancestor of Yuanying..."

On the same day, Zu Chong, the general of Fenghuo Pass, suddenly fell into a coma. After investigation, it seems that the general's spirit has been cursed by some kind of curse, and he still can't wake up."

"Let it be reported by Longlin..."

"Enough, stop reading!"

In the imperial study room, Zhao Dutian who was sitting on the Jiulong couch was full of anger, and suddenly gave a cold shout, stopping the Dragon Scale Envoy from reporting.

Dragon Scale Envoy is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

As the leader of the highest intelligence agency of the dynasty, this person is not only a member of the Zhao clan, but his strength has also reached the realm of martial saints, comparable to Jindan Daoist.

Seeing that the Holy Emperor was angry, the Dragon Scale Envoy immediately bowed to silence and stepped aside.

Zhao Dutian suppressed his anger, turned his head to look at the three Yuanying patriarchs sitting beside his hands, and said in a cold voice: "Patriarch, this is clearly provoking our court's majesty! If you don't wipe out these thieves as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be The six great dynasties made fun of my family's incompetence. Please ask the three ancestors to relieve my worries!"

Patriarch Qingshan rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "At the same time, so many officials of the frontier were either assassinated or disappeared. It seems that the strength of the remnants of the two religions cannot be underestimated!"

"From my point of view, this large-scale attack was not only carried out by the Second Sect of the Corpse Soul, but more forces with malicious intentions were also secretly involved."

What Zhao Zhenhai said made sense.

After all, Nantian Zhao's rise is too fast, and its foundation is much weaker than other big sects.

However, in the past thousand years, the most glorious family was the Nantian Zhao family.

Due to too many people in the family, the Zhao family inevitably occupied a large number of lands in Central Continent that were rich in spiritual energy.

There are only so many overall interests in this continent. If you occupy too much, someone's interests will always be damaged.

In this way, the Nantian Zhao family, who is "full of fat", will surely provoke countless "enemies", and even become a "ground of public criticism".

The recent turmoil may have been a manifestation of the backlash caused by taking too much.

At this moment, Zhao Zhenhai looked at Zhao Sheng who had remained silent all this time, and asked, "Sixteen, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Sheng raised his head, pondered, and said, "The old man thinks it's very strange why the murderer took some people and corpses away. Check to see if those people who are missing and whose bodies are gone are all from my family tribe?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Sheng had a flash of inspiration, and immediately changed his words: No, check again, whether their ancestors all come from the line of Qingyang ancestors, and whether they have ancient blood? "

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed!
The Dragon Scale Envoy didn't care about the dignity of the upper and lower, and hurriedly came out and knelt down on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "Reporting to the ancestors, your guess is correct. All the missing people are closely related to the royal family. Except those who are listed in the royal family Prince Gan and others in the book, and there are also a few illegitimate children of the royal family."

"Hmph, trash! Get out of here yet, let me investigate this matter thoroughly. If you can't find any clues, I will withdraw your position, get out!" Zhao Du flicked his sleeves, pointing at the dragon scale envoy's nose and cursing angrily. road.

On the surface, Zhao Dutian reprimanded him angrily, but in fact he took it lightly, which seemed to be protecting the calf.

"I must live up to the great trust of the emperor. I will leave first!" The Dragon Scale Envoy bowed respectfully and quietly exited the imperial study.

In front of the three patriarchs, Zhao Dutian did not put on the airs of the Holy Emperor, and directly said with a sad face: "Oh, this is not good! The territory of this dynasty is close to 300 million miles, and there are countless provincial capitals. In such a large In the territory area, finding those thieves is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

If this continues, the ministers and generals of the provincial governments will not know how many casualties.These people are the pillars of the country, and my heart aches! "

Patriarch Qingshan burst into yellow light all over his body, and an illusion of a towering giant peak appeared behind him, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, my family hasn't shown its edge for a long time, those young people thought I was too old to walk, it seems that I really want to Try the old man's Qingshan Palm to smash their skulls, it's just life and death!"

Zhao Sheng heard the words, but comforted him: "The Seventh Patriarch must not get angry, or he may be caught by the enemy's tricks!"

"Fighting east and west? Yes, it is possible. But it may also be a conspiracy. If we wait for the guardian god to stay, the enemy is likely to continue to commit crimes in various places. If we go to various places, we will undoubtedly disperse our strength. I might as well wait Divine Dragon Valley asks for help." Zhao Zhenhai also suggested.

Zhao Sheng thought about it, and felt that what he said was not bad, but it must be known that the forces secretly plotting this matter have committed a big taboo, and this move is undoubtedly declaring war on the Zhao family.

Now this matter is not only the revenge of the second sect of corpses and souls, it is more likely to target the entire family, and it has initially broken away from the scope of conspiracy, and is gradually evolving into a conspiracy.

However, there is something logically wrong with this matter.

Logically speaking, there should be no idiots who would dare to challenge the majesty of the Zhao family, with a true king of Huashen standing behind the Zhao family's dynasty.

But it just happened!

This shows what?
If it's not that someone is really stupid enough to want to kill himself, it means that there must be forces behind all the incidents.

After such an inference, doesn't it mean that... the Taishang Sensing Sect, who has been dormant for a long time, has begun to become restless? !

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng's heart moved, he looked up at the other two ancestors, and said with a solemn expression: "This old man proposes to send a prince to patrol the provinces of the world to appease the ministers! At the same time, we must also inform the ancestors of this matter in time. .”

"Qiong Tian, ​​how can a mere trifle make a fuss, no! This matter is definitely not trivial, and we must inform our ancestors about it as soon as possible."

When the words were normal, Patriarch Qingshan's complexion suddenly changed, he took a breath, and changed his attitude instantly.
