Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 315 Phoenix Blood
A palace coup in the Western Chu royal family ended in an extremely absurd ending.

It can be said that Xiong Wushang had planned carefully for a long time to raise his troops this time, but in the end, God's calculations were not as good as those of man. No one thought that Xiong Qingqing would make such a decision.

A large number of guards in front of Yufeng Pavilion have evacuated, and many nobles who came with them have also left the palace.

The originally noisy Yufeng Pavilion suddenly became extremely quiet.

As the saying goes, once the emperor has one court, now they should consider how to face the new emperor next.

This emperor is not Xiong Qingqing, the princess of Western Chu, but the emperor of Yan.

After all, this person directly sold the entire Xichu.

……

In Yufeng Pavilion,

The charcoal fire burned slowly, adding a bit of warmth to the cold and lonely pavilion.

Xiong Qingqing slowly walked in and bowed slightly to the figure lying on the bed.

"Father!"

Hearing this, Xiong Hongxuan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes fiercely, with a hint of disbelief in his cloudy eyes.

"you……"

Xiong Hongxuan turned his head with difficulty and looked through the red bead curtain with dim eyes.

"how come……"

Xiong Qingqing smiled slightly and said calmly: "Father, are you surprised?"

"Why is it not the second brother who stepped into Yufeng Pavilion today?"

"Ah!"

Xiong Hongxuan sneered, but did not answer.

But this was exactly the doubt in his mind.

The person coming here today should definitely not be Xiong Qingqing.

Xiong Qingqing said calmly through the red bead curtain: "Actually, I have known for a long time that your father secretly sent a message to Xichu Jiange."

It is no accident that Xichu Jiange intervened in this matter.

Her second brother didn't have that much dignity to invite Xichu Jiange.

For Xichu Jiange, no matter who among them succeeds to the throne, it will not shake the status of Xichu Jiange in Xichu.

They expressed their attitude not because of their second brother, but because of her father.

Xiong Hongxuan's pupils shrank and he sneered, "I'm looking down on you."

"I never thought you would have such means!"

There was a hint of coldness in Xiong Hongxuan's words.

"That's right!"

Xiong Hongxuan said bluntly: "I did send someone to send a message to Xichu Jiange."

A smile appeared on Xiong Qingqing's face, and she said lightly: "I know that in the eyes of your father, I am not a qualified emperor."

"Second brother killed all the brothers and sisters. You know all this, but you still sit back and watch it all happen."

"He is the suitable candidate for the throne in your mind."

"Actually, I also know that people like me can't sit firmly even if they sit in this seat, so I can actually understand you very well."

"But Father, you are wrong about one thing."

Xiong Qingqing smiled lightly and said: "You said that I am not as ruthless as my second brother. You are wrong about this."

"This battle between the Western Chu royal family will end with itself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Hongxuan's eyes widened fiercely, as if he thought of something, his expression became particularly excited, and he said angrily: "What did you do?"

The originally weak body seemed to be having a flashback at this moment, suddenly becoming much more powerful.

At this moment, a tall figure walked in outside Yufeng Pavilion.

As he stepped into the pavilion, the flickering firelight in the pavilion seemed to dim a bit.

A chill came over my face!

Looking at the figure walking into the pavilion, Xiong Hongxuan's face condensed slightly and he said coldly: "Who are you?"

"Dayan, Pingnan Marquis Shen Du has met His Majesty!"

Shen Du took a step forward and bowed calmly.

This was the first time he had met the Emperor of Western Chu, and there were various rumors about this person.

But no one denies that he is a true hero.

He won the battles among many princes in Western Chu and succeeded to the throne. When Western Chu was in decline, he restored the national destiny of Western Chu and made Western Chu strong and powerful in just 20 years.

The Western Chu state more than 20 years ago was not like this. At that time, the Western Chu state was a mess of feuding nobles. It was not much better than the Qi state today.

Many people say that if Emperor Yan hadn't appeared out of nowhere, suppressing his luck and cutting off his vitality, this man's achievements would have been much more than that.

If you think about it carefully, none of the emperors of today's countries, except for Emperor Yan who was in seclusion, seemed to have died a good death.

"Swallows!"

Xiong Hongxuan's doubts were suddenly resolved.

"I didn't expect you to collude with the Yan people."

Xiong Hongxuan sneered: "What did you promise to the Yan people?"

Xiong Qingqing said calmly: "I have promised the Yan State that after I ascend the throne, I will voluntarily dedicate the entire Western Chu. From now on, there will be no Western Chu in the world."

"puff!"

Hearing this, Xiong Hongxuan suddenly became furious and vomited blood.

His pale face turned red instantly, and his eyes stared at Xiong Qingqing, extremely angry.

"you……"

"Evil son!"

"Unfilial sons and grandchildren!"

Xiong Hongxuan glared angrily, struggled to get up, and shouted angrily.

He was already seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread. Now that he was suffering from anxiety, his illness was undoubtedly aggravated.

Xiong Qingqing looked at the scene in front of her calmly.

After a while, the angry voices gradually became quieter.

Xiong Hongxuan lay weakly on the bed, his eyes gradually became dull, and the aura on his body gradually weakened.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, his heroic life, Xiong Hongxuan, would end up like this in the end.

He had made many calculations, but he never thought that his daughter would completely extinguish the Western Chu royal family.

He is ashamed of his ancestors!
The next moment, the hand pointing angrily at Xiong Qingqing fell down weakly, hanging in the air beside the bed.

A generation of heroes, angry and dying!

Xiong Qingqing lifted her clothes, slowly fell to the ground, and kowtowed three times solemnly.

……

Chu Li, the 26th year of Liexing,
The Emperor of Western Chu died in Yufeng Pavilion at the age of 26 after reigning for 56 years.

In September of the same year, the last female emperor of Western Chu succeeded to the throne.

This was the first female emperor in the entire history of Western Chu, but also the last.

Just as Xiong Qingqing said, the fate of the Western Chu royal family will end with her.

On the second day after taking the throne, the last female emperor issued an edict, announcing to the world that she would surrender to Beiyan with hundreds of civil and military officials from Western Chu.

From now on, there is no more Xichu in the world!
……

The treasure trove of the Imperial Palace of Western Chu.

This place is where the entire Western Chu has been accumulated for hundreds of years, and it houses many rare treasures in the world.

Although Western Chu is not as vast and rich in resources as Qian Kingdom, it has accumulated many rare treasures over the past hundreds of years.

The heavy bronze door slowly opened, and dust rushed into the face.

"This place hasn't been opened in almost 20 years."

Xiong Qingqing stood aside and said softly.

Throughout the ages, the key to the imperial treasury of Western Chu has been in the hands of the emperor, and only the emperor can open this treasury.

Shen Du raised his eyes and looked inside.

This treasure house is built underground, and the surrounding walls are made of cold iron. It is difficult for even a strong Dharma elephant to destroy it.

On the pavilion in front, there are several magic weapons.

Even though it has been covered in dust for decades, it still remains sharp.

Shen Du glanced at several magic weapons and sighed in his heart. They were worthy of being collected by the Western Chu royal family.

Except for a few magic weapons placed outside, the things deep in the treasure house are undoubtedly more valuable.

While Shen Du was observing, his attention was suddenly attracted by an item deep in the treasure house.

"what is that?"

Shen Du frowned slightly.

That thing gave him a very strange feeling.

A faint feeling of palpitations!
With his current strength, there are not many things that can give him such a feeling.

Xiong Qingqing was slightly stunned, followed Shen Du's gaze, and shook her head in confusion.

On the shelf in the deepest part of the treasure house, there is a black box half a meter in size.

"I don't know this thing either."

Xiong Qingqing shook her head and said: "But the deeper the treasure house goes, the older the items are placed, rather than the value of the treasures."

"Looking at the placement of this object, it should have been there when we founded the Western Chu Kingdom."

"Many things here have long been lost to records."

This treasury has not been opened for who knows how many years. Even the people who guarded it were dead and scattered. The records of the items in the treasury are nowhere to be found. "You stay here, I'll go take a look!"

Shen Du turned around and gave a warning, then walked towards the depths of the treasure house.

He felt there was something extraordinary about this thing.

Originally it was just a whim, but it seems that there may be some unexpected gains today.

As he continued to get closer, the vague aura became thicker and thicker, creating a strong sense of oppression.

Shen Du raised his hand and pointed a finger, attacking the black box with his energy.

The light of the formation emerged around the black box, but it was quickly shattered.

"Oh!"

With a soft sound, the black box shattered, and a scorching breath of flames rushed towards his face.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire treasure house seemed to have increased dozens of times.

Inside the broken brocade box, there was a fiery red feather suspended at the moment, surrounded by blazing flames.

The feather was about the length of an arm, and its entire body was fiery red, exuding a simple and desolate feeling.

Inside the brocade box, there is a fiery red stone crystal, and there seems to be an illusory figure in it.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a long roar in the surrounding void that echoed through the sky.

The surrounding scene has changed drastically!

The entire world seemed to turn into a hell of fire, and the flames rising to the sky were like mountains of flames, covering the entire world.

From between the mountains, a huge creature slowly flapped its wings and rushed into the sky. As its wings flapped, it set off a billowing wave of flames.

Huge waves of flames hundreds of feet high were layered on top of each other, drowning everything like a wave.

Most of the sky was merged into this raging fire.

Shen Du's expression moved slightly.

According to legend, the founding ancestor of the Western Chu State once encountered the strange beast Fire Phoenix, and with the help of the fire phoenix, he established Western Chu.

The royal family of the Western Chu Dynasty also used the fire phoenix as the totem of the royal family.

In the eyes of many people, this is just the royal family of Western Chu trying to put a gloss on themselves and add a bit of mystery to fool the people.

This kind of thing happens in every country, but the way of choosing is different.

Now it seems that this is not a rumor!

If he guessed correctly, those wings were the feathers of the fire phoenix, a strange beast from heaven and earth!
In an instant, the behemoth soaring into the sky roared and swept towards Shen Du. As its wings flapped, it brought up a large wave of flames.

Even after hundreds of years, these wings still contain immense spiritual power.

Looking at the incoming fire phoenix, Shen Du sneered, stepped forward, clenched his fingers, then clenched his fist and punched it out.

If it is a real alien beast, Fire Phoenix, his strength is indeed not enough, but it is just a broken soul, and it would be too disrespectful to try to force him back.

Almost instantly, Shen Du's figure moved away, like a meteor falling to the earth, causing waves hundreds of feet high.

Between the whistling, the air waves roared!
When the fist struck, the flames burning in the sky were pulled to pieces by the force, and the swooping fire phoenix was also shattered by the punch.

The body is broken inch by inch!
The flames are rolling!

The surrounding world was swallowed up by flames and instantly shattered!

In just a moment, Shen Du's mind returned again, and the energy around his body surged, exuding a strong murderous aura.

On the other hand, the power emanating from the fire plume has weakened a bit.

The previous scene seemed to be just a confrontation between the souls, but if an ordinary person came here, the souls would be burned out in an instant.

Shen Du reached out and made a move, and the fire feather and the fiery red stone crystal suspended in mid-air fell into his hand.

On the fiery red wings, there seemed to be layers of flames surging, which was mysterious and unusual.

And inside the stone crystal, there seemed to be a shrunken fire phoenix slowly swimming, lifelike.

Phoenix blood!

Shen Du was secretly startled.

This Western Chu royal family really is sitting on a treasure mountain without knowing it.

This is a real treasure!

In the past, if the Western Chu royal family could exert this power, it would not be difficult to dominate the world.

A stream of true energy surged out from Shen Du's palm, and he temporarily sealed it with the tyrannical power of the Martial Saint.

This thing is suitable for refining medicine. It would be too wasteful to absorb it like this.

His demand is not large, but he can use this to create a group of strong men, and even has a fatal attraction for some strange beasts.

This phoenix blood is not an ordinary beast, and the owner of this drop of phoenix blood may have already reached the martial immortal level, and his bloodline has transformed to an extremely deep level.

"Let's go!"

Shen Du turned around and walked out of the treasure house.

……

Dragon Tiger Mountain,
The old Heavenly Master, who was lying on the bamboo chair and taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked straight at the sky with a look of surprise.

"The emperor star has fallen!"

"The black dragon swallows the sky!"

"This……"

The old Heavenly Master murmured: "The national destiny of Western Chu...disappeared?"

He was just taking a nap, and so many things happened?
He also knew a little about the internal affairs of the Western Chu royal family, but he had never thought of intervening.

The struggle for the royal family is related to the fate of the country, and it is not something ordinary people can interfere with. If they are too deeply involved, it is easy to get involved, especially for people like them.

If you interfere too much, you will not only lose your own luck, but also your life.

The Emperor of Western Chu invited him to come out of the mountain more than once, but he refused every time.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Xi Chu's luck had almost disappeared, while Yan's luck had skyrocketed.

As far as he knew, the Yan people had not used troops against Western Chu, and there had been no war between the two countries recently.

The Heavenly Master pondered for a moment, then threw a few copper coins from his sleeve and scattered them on the ground.

As the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, he is also very good at divination, but he is usually too lazy to do divination.

He actually doesn't believe in any hexagrams.

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Looking at the displayed hexagram, the Heavenly Master let out a sigh, his frown slowly unfurled, and a trace of emotion appeared on his face.

"Ha ha!"

The old Heavenly Master chuckled, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "There is no way to escape the ever-changing changes in the world."

"Breeze!"

"Clean up the back hill, there will be distinguished guests visiting in the next few days!"

……

In the capital of Western Chu,
As the edict was promulgated, it immediately caused an uproar and the whole country was in an uproar.

Almost all the streets and alleys were filled with people discussing this matter.

No one thought that in just one day, the Western Chu royal family would surrender to the Yan Kingdom.

After the news came out, there was not a small voice of opposition from the public.

Many people cannot accept this result.

Among the many voices of opposition, many people rejected Xiong Qingqing's succession, claiming that he had murdered the previous emperor and conspired to usurp the throne.

It's just that now several nobles in Western Chu, headed by the Qu family, have reached a consensus and acquiesced in this happening. Even those who are dissatisfied can no longer stir up any trouble.

After all, the real power of Xichu lies in the hands of a few nobles.

The surrender of Western Chu will inevitably affect the Northern Barbarians and Qianqi Kingdoms.

In the past, with Western Chu on its side, a large part of the Yan State's power was contained. Now that Western Chu has surrendered, the Yan State can free up a large amount of military power.

When this news reached the Yan region, it caused a huge sensation, especially after hearing that Pingnan Marquis Shen Du personally visited the Chu region.

For a time, Shen Du's prestige in the Yan Kingdom skyrocketed.

From being a mountain bandit to being a prince and prime minister step by step, it can be called a miracle.

……

Taiyi Zong,
On the top of the mountain, a huge formation was completed.

Surrounding the formation are masters from the Taiyi Sect, several of whom have been in seclusion for a long time and are approaching the end of their lifespan.

Luo Jingxuan, the headmaster of Taiyi Sect, stood in front of everyone with a calm expression and his deep eyes flashed from time to time.

Next to him is the heavenly being who hid in Taiyi Sect.

He came here to use Taiyi Sect's luck to cover his traces and prevent others from detecting him.

A few days ago, they had successfully contacted the founder of Taiyi Sect, Bo Zhenzi.

What the deity said is true.

That’s why we have this formation in front of us now!
After experiencing the opening of the Heavenly Gate several times, many heavenly beings realized that it is not an easy task to truly cross the Heavenly Gate nowadays.

Even if someone triggers Tianmen, if they want to truly come out of it, it will cost a lot of money.

Because of the restrictions on who can activate the Heavenly Gate, the width of the Heavenly Gate opened from the outside is limited, and it is destined to be unable to accommodate too strong a force to pass through.

Unless the internal and external forces reach a balance, only in this way can the heavenly beings in the Tianmen pass through without any scruples.

This formation was passed down by Patriarch Bo Zhenzi, and it can be used to cover up the rules with the luck of Taiyi Sect, allowing the will of the gods and humans to come.

It just requires someone to contribute their own body, and this matter involves great risks.

After all, this is just an attempt, and no one knows whether it will succeed.

Luo Jingxuan looked at the seniors of Taiyi Sect, bowed and said softly: "Everyone, please."

Several people looked indifferent, there was not much fear in their eyes, they just smiled and nodded.

They are all close to running out of oil. They can still contribute to the sect before they die, and they will not be in vain for the sect's training.
