Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

There were sparkling tears in the eyes of the Fairy of Misty Rain.

Endless emotion surged in her heart.

Years of fighting had exhausted her mentally and physically.

Power, fame and fortune are no longer important.

She just wanted to find a moment of peace among the green mountains and clear waters.

"Chu Ze, Lin Ye, thank you for your continued support."

Fairy Misty Rain spoke slowly, her voice soft but firm.

"I have decided to retire from society and live in seclusion in the mountains."

Her gaze was cast towards Qingfeng in the distance.

There, there is the peaceful life she has longed for.

Chu Ze and Lin Ye looked at each other, their eyes full of understanding.

They understood that the fairy had seen through the empty fame in the world.

Forcing her to stay here would only make her more miserable.

Letting go is the best blessing for her.

"Fairy, we respect your decision."

Chu Ze said solemnly, his tone full of respect.

"We are your friends no matter where or when."

Lin Ye also nodded in agreement, his eyes sincere and determined.

Maintaining this friendship is of vital importance to them.

If necessary in the future, we can still work together.

Fairy Yanyu smiled gratefully and took out a secret book from her arms.

This is her life's work, and it embodies countless wisdom.

She admired Chu Ze's character and believed that he would be able to make good use of it.

"I will give this secret book to you."

She solemnly placed the secret book in Chu Ze's hands.

"I hope you can use it properly and uphold the righteousness of the martial arts world."

Chu Ze took the secret book and felt mixed emotions.

He knew very well that this trust was heavy.

Only by living up to the fairy's trust can we live up to her expectations.

"Don't worry, fairy. I will be extremely careful."

His tone was firm, his eyes full of determination.

After some greetings, Fairy Yanyu left in a graceful manner.

Her back gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests.

What was left behind was Chu Ze and Lin Ye's endless emotion.

After returning to Beijing, Chu Ze immediately plunged into busy affairs.

There have been frequent strange phenomena in the court recently, which made him quite worried.

If there are people with bad intentions, the consequences will be disastrous.

In order to prevent any trouble, he decided to investigate secretly.

Chu Ze used his connections to place spies in the dark corners of the court.

He must grasp every little movement and prevent crises in advance.

Only in this way can we better protect our rights.

Let those who covet the throne have no chance to take advantage.

The results of the investigation made Chu Ze feel depressed.

Crown Prince Li Ke was secretly forming a clique for personal gain.

The throne of the Song Dynasty had not yet been stabilized, but the prince was already ready to make moves.

Chu Ze knew very well that this was a preparation for future power struggles.

Once his power grows, his position will inevitably be threatened.

After much deliberation, Chu Ze decided to take action.

He strengthened the defenses around the capital and kept a close eye on the prince's followers.

At the same time, troops were added to the border to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation.

The movements of Western Xia have always been a major concern for him.

Only by being fully prepared can we deal with possible crises.

Chu Ze was extremely busy investigating the court and arranging defenses.

But he knew in his heart that this alone was far from enough.

If you want to be invincible, the most important thing is to improve your own strength.

Thinking of this, he took out the secret book given to him by Fairy Yanyu.

Could this secret book be his winning weapon?

Chu Ze was eager to try it out and couldn't wait to find out.

He closed the door to his study and refused to see visitors, studying secret books day and night.

Every move and every technique are carefully studied and savored.

Chu Ze soon discovered that this secret book contained a lot of mysteries.

Some chapters seem to have deeper meanings.

There seems to be some kind of message hidden between the lines.

What exactly was the message? Chu Ze was puzzled.

Until one day, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a detail.

In the secret book, a relic in the Western Regions is repeatedly mentioned.

There seems to be a shocking secret buried there.

It concerns the rise and fall of the martial arts world and the safety of the country.

If you can find the answer, all your troubles will be solved!

Chu Ze's heart was shocked, and suddenly his mind was enlightened.

He realized that this might be the true meaning of the secret book. The clue to the treasure was in that distant foreign land.

Even if it is extremely dangerous, it is worth it.

Chu Ze made a prompt decision and decided to go to the Western Regions to find out what was going on.

But he knew very well that this trip must not be done in a high-profile manner.

There are undercurrents in the court, and any carelessness would lead to alerting the enemy.

In order to be absolutely sure, he secretly arranged for his confidants to closely monitor the court's movements.

As long as there is any disturbance in the capital, he will be informed immediately.

In this way, even if you are far away, you can respond to changes in a timely manner.

Chu Ze selected a group of elite soldiers and set off overnight.

Under his leadership, the group headed straight into the depths of the desert.

Along the way, there were sand and gravel everywhere and strong winds.

But no one backed down and no one complained.

Because everyone has a belief in their hearts:
As long as I follow Chu Ze, I will go through fire and water, and I will do it!

After months of trekking, they finally arrived at the ruins mentioned in the secret book.

The towering stone gate stands in the yellow sand.

The carvings above are simple and mysterious.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and stepped into the ruins first.

There are endless mechanisms and traps inside.

Every step forward is extremely dangerous.

But Chu Ze remained calm and used the techniques in the secret book to crack them one by one.

His figure is as agile as a monkey and as swift as an eagle.

There is no obstacle that can stop him from moving forward.

With a loud bang, the last stone door opened.

The view before my eyes suddenly opened up to a magnificent golden scene.

Chu Ze and others were stunned and couldn't believe it.

Such an amazing treasure is buried deep in the ruins!
There are all kinds of rare treasures, weapons and magical instruments.

The most eye-catching thing is the long sword enshrined in the center.

The sword was pitch black and exuded a chilling chill.

A huge luminous pearl is inlaid on the hilt of the sword.

The pearls sparkle, as dazzling as stars.

Chu Ze held his breath and walked forward slowly.

His intuition told him that this sword was the answer he had been looking for.

Mastering it means mastering the power to change everything!

Chu Ze stretched out his hand and carefully grasped the hilt of the sword.

A powerful force instantly surged throughout my body.

It was as if there was a warm current flowing through the blood.

His martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds at this moment.

Various techniques and skills flooded into his mind like a tide.

The originally difficult and obscure secret book also became clear.

It turns out that this is the true meaning of the secret book!
With this magical weapon, what can stop him?
Chu Ze’s confidence grew and he became full of pride.

He looked around and his eyes fell on the murals on the walls of the ruins.

The mural depicts an ancient prophecy.

That is the legend about this desert.

According to legend, whoever can obtain the treasure in the ruins.

Whoever wins will be able to command the Western Regions and unify the territory.

Chu Ze's mind moved and a plan came to mind.

Although the Western Regions are desolate, their strategic position is of great importance.

If we can conquer the tribes here, it will be a great help in fighting against Western Xia.

With Chu Ze's current strength, it is not difficult to achieve this.

At that moment, he displayed his amazing martial arts and subdued the heroes of the Western Regions.

He also supported his confidants and secured his position as the leader of the Western Regions.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty had an additional solid barrier.

It would no longer be so easy for Western Xia to invade.

Chu Ze was in high spirits and led his army back in triumph.

However, what he didn't expect was that the gate of the capital was closed.

The general guarding the city turned out to be the prince's confidant!

"You are such a bold lunatic, you dared to send troops without authorization, and almost caused a border war!"

The guard sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. You should be executed. Why don't you surrender?"

Chu Ze was so angry that he almost drew his sword on the spot.

But reason soon overcame impulse.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

If we rush in now, it will only lead to bloody conflict.

If that happens, all my years of hard work will be wasted.

No, we must not fall into the enemy's strategy of sowing discord!
Chu Ze acted promptly and ordered the troops to stay on the spot.

He went alone, disguised as an ordinary citizen, and sneaked into the city.

In those hidden streets.

He moved back and forth silently, contacting his old subordinates.

Those loyal subordinates were surprised and delighted to see Chu Ze. (End of this chapter)
