Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

"How could this be?"

The eldest princess' eyes were filled with astonishment and unwillingness. She stared closely at the flying golden fragments, as if trying to find the answer from them.

Fang Yue also frowned. Although he successfully resisted the eldest princess' attack, the scene before him made him feel very surprised.

The national treasure was broken so easily?

This national treasure is fake!!!

"This is impossible! How could the national treasure be fake?"

The princess roared again, her voice full of despair: "I spent so much effort to find this place, how could I fail so quickly?"

Fang Yue took a deep breath and said in a steady voice, "Princess, it seems we have all been deceived. This so-called national treasure is nothing but an exquisite fake."

The eldest princess' body trembled slightly. She could not accept this cruel reality. She slowly raised her eyes from the golden fragments and looked at Fang Yue, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. "Who is it? Who dares to deceive me?"

Fang Yue shook his head. "It's not clear yet, but there must be a more complicated conspiracy behind this matter."

At this moment, the entire hall began to shake.

"Run!" Fang Yue shouted, pulled up the eldest princess who was still in shock, and ran towards the exit of the hall.

The eldest princess was dragged by Fang Yue. She looked back at the scattered golden fragments, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

She knew that now was not the time to worry or regret, and escape was the most important thing.

The hall was shaking more and more violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

The two of them quickly ran through the corridor, avoiding the falling rocks, and finally arrived at the exit of the hall.

"Hurry! Jump out!" Fang Yue shouted, pointing outside.

The eldest princess did not hesitate at all and followed Fang Yue out of the hall.

The moment they jumped out of the hall, the entire hall collapsed, raising a huge cloud of dust.

The two men lay on the ground, waiting until the dust settled before they dared to slowly raise their heads.

The eldest princess felt mixed emotions as she looked at the hall that had turned into ruins.

She spent so much effort to find this place, but she didn't expect it to be in vain. Moreover, she almost lost her life.

At the same time, the remnants of the Shadow Pavilion, the Five Great Families, and the Kunshan Sect also escaped from the collapsed hall. They were all covered in dust, but the greed and cruelty in their eyes did not diminish at all.

"Fang Yue, Princess, hand over the national treasure!" The leader of the Shadow Pavilion spoke first with a gloomy face.

The heads of the five major families also echoed: "Yes, hand over the national treasure, that is our common goal, you can't keep it for yourself!"

The leader of the Kunshan sect even threatened directly: "If you don't hand over the national treasure, don't blame us for being rude!"

Facing the pressure from the crowd, Fang Yue and the princess looked at each other, and saw helplessness and determination in each other's eyes. Fang Yue stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, I believe you have all seen that the national treasure has been broken, and it is a fake."

"Nonsense!" Shadow Pavilion leader Li Shengdong roared, "Hey, you can fool a three-year-old with this!"

One of the five major families, Zhao Guangkun of the Zhao family, also sneered and said:

"Fang Yue, do you think you can fool us? The national treasure is the most important treasure of the country. Its power is enough to shake the heaven and earth.

The fluctuations in your battle just now clearly demonstrated the power of the artifact. Now you want to use a fake as an excuse, it's really ridiculous!"

The head of Kunshan Sect, Lu Wushuang, also nodded and expressed his agreement: "Fang Yue, Princess, I advise you to hand over the artifact honestly. We may consider giving you a quick death."

Faced with the pressure from the crowd, Fang Yue and the eldest princess knew that it was useless to explain at this moment. These greedy people only recognized the artifact and nothing else.

The princess took a deep breath and slowly stood up. Although she was sad and angry, her face was unusually calm:

"Everyone, we really didn't lie to you. The national treasure is indeed a fake, and it has been broken. If you don't believe it, go and search the ruins to see if you can find the real artifact."

The leader of the Shadow Pavilion, Li Shengdong, sneered: "Humph, Princess, do you think we will believe your lies?
How could the national treasure be broken so easily? Moreover, we clearly felt the power of the national treasure, so don't try to deceive us!"

Fang Yue also stood up at this moment, and he said calmly: "Everyone, there is really no need for the princess and I to lie to you.

We also came here to look for the artifact, but we didn't expect this result. If you don't believe it, you can go and check it out for yourself."

The heads of the five major families and the leader of the Kunshan School looked at each other. Although they were greedy in their hearts, they also knew that Fang Yue and the eldest princess were not easy to deal with. Maybe what they said was really true.

"It seems there is no point in talking. Let's all work together to subdue them first!"

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of Shadow Pavilion leader Li Shengdong, and it was obvious that he was not going to easily believe what Fang Yue and the princess said.

The heads of the five major families and the leader of the Kunshan School looked at each other and nodded. Their greedy eyes never left the eldest princess and Fang Yue, as if they had already regarded the two as their own.

"Humph, since you guys won't accept our toast, don't blame us for being rude!"

Zhao Guangkun, the patriarch of the Zhao family, snorted coldly, took the lead in attacking, and rushed towards Fang Yue like lightning.

The heads of the other four major families and the leader of the Kunshan School followed closely behind. For a moment, the ruins were filled with sword energy and energy fluctuations surged.

The eldest princess and Fang Yue stood back to back, unafraid of the siege from the crowd.

They knew in their hearts that only by fighting side by side could they break through the siege.

Faced with the siege, although there were still conflicts between the eldest princess and Fang Yue, they had to temporarily join forces.

Although it was the first time for the two to work together, they cooperated well and faced attacks from all sides.

The eldest princess's palm technique is unique, and each palm carries a strong vitality, forcing the enemy not to approach easily.

Fang Yue's swordsmanship was sharp and fast, and he always repelled the enemies attacking the princess at the critical moment.

However, the enemies were numerous and they could not hold out for long.

The leader of Shadow Pavilion, Li Shengdong, had been observing coldly from the side, looking for flaws.

Suddenly, he saw an opportunity, flashed and attacked the eldest princess.

The eldest princess reacted quickly, dodging Li Shengdong's attack by leaning sideways and striking his side with her palm.

But Li Shengdong was agile. He did a somersault and landed steadily on the ground, then stabbed the princess with a sword in his backhand.

Seeing this, Fang Yue quickly swung his sword to block Li Shengdong's attack and kicked his knee at the same time.

Li Shengdong took a few steps back, stood firmly, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Humph, you two are really troublesome." He said, and launched an attack again.

The fierce battle is still going on. Various forces are besieging the eldest princess and Fang Yue. Every move is deadly and every attack is full of murderous intent.

However, just as the battle entered a fierce stage and was difficult to resolve, suddenly, a light flashed above the entire ruins, and a complex array pattern quickly appeared on the ground. "What's going on?" Shadow Pavilion leader Li Shengdong paused and looked around vigilantly.

The heads of the five major families and the leader of the Kunshan School also stopped their attacks, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

They found that they had been bound to the spot by an invisible force, as if they were trapped in a huge maze.

"It's a formation!" A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Yue's eyes. He recognized that this glowing pattern was an ancient formation.

The eldest princess also felt the restraining force. She frowned and tried to break free, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not move even a step.

"We are trapped." The eldest princess said in a deep voice.

At this moment, the ruins fell into silence.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden formation. They looked at each other, trying to find a way to break it.

The leader of the Shadow Pavilion, Li Shengdong, had a gloomy expression on his face. He glared at the princess and Fang Yue and said in a cold voice, "Did you do this?"

Fang Yue shook his head. "We are also trapped here. How could it be us who did this?"

"Then what's going on with this formation?" Li Shengdong asked.

"I am not sure as well."

Fang Yue frowned and said, "But this formation is obviously not something we can set up. There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating it."

The princess also nodded, "Yes, the power of this formation is far beyond our capabilities."

Everyone was trapped in the formation and couldn't move for a while.

They began to look around, trying to find a flaw in the formation, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not find a way out.

As time passed, the people trapped in the formation began to feel anxious.

They originally came here to fight for the national treasure, but they didn't expect to fall into such a situation.

"We must find a way to break this formation." The princess said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, we will all be trapped here to death."

Fang Yue nodded, "Yes, we need to find a way to crack it as soon as possible."

Just as everyone was anxiously looking for a way to break the formation, the formation suddenly changed.

The originally motionless light began to slowly rotate, forming a huge vortex, and a mysterious ball of light gradually condensed in the center of the vortex.

"This is... the Soul Refining Formation!" exclaimed a knowledgeable family head.

The Soul Refining Formation is an extremely evil formation. It can refine the souls and vitality of those in the formation and transform them into the power of the formation.

And now, this soul refining formation has obviously begun to activate, preparing to refine all the people here.

"We have to break the formation quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" the eldest princess said anxiously.

Everyone understood that once the Soul Refining Formation was fully activated, their souls and vital energy would be refined and eventually turned into nourishment for the formation.

This fear made everyone feel an unprecedented sense of urgency.

"Don't panic, let's work together to attack the same point of the formation, maybe we can break it." Fang Yue suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They had no way out now and could only unite and fight against this evil spirit refining formation.

So, under Fang Yue's command, everyone began to work together to attack the same position of the formation.

Their attacks combined into a powerful force, slamming heavily into the formation.

However, the Soul Refining Formation seemed to have endless power. Although the attacks of the crowd were powerful, they could not cause any substantial damage to the formation.

After each attack, the formation will quickly return to its original state.

As time passed, everyone felt increasingly depressed.

They knew that if they could not crack the Soul Refining Formation as soon as possible, a terrible fate would be waiting for them.

At the same time, deep inside the Wei Imperial Palace, in another secret formation, the dying Emperor of Wei lay quietly, enveloped by the light of the Soul Refining Formation.

This spirit refining formation is completely different from those seen elsewhere. It is not used to refine living beings, but as a mysterious healing method, it injects endless energy into the emperor's body.

The light of the formation flickered with soft golden light, and each ray of light contained a powerful vitality, which slowly penetrated into the emperor's limbs and bones, repairing his damaged meridians and internal organs.

These energies were like trickles of water, warm and full of vitality, gradually restoring some redness to the originally pale and bloodless face of the emperor.

Beside the emperor, several high-ranking monks from the royal family were guarding him closely, their eyes filled with worry and expectation.

This soul refining formation is their last hope. If it succeeds, the emperor may be able to recover and restore the royal majesty.

However, this spirit refining formation is not without cost.

In order to maintain the operation of the formation, the royal family paid a huge price. Not only did it consume a large amount of rare materials, but it also required monks with profound cultivation to continuously provide energy for the formation.

As time passed, the light of the Spirit Refining Formation gradually dimmed, while the emperor's breathing gradually became steady and strong.

When the monks saw this, they smiled with joy. They knew that the emperor was gradually recovering.

However, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a violent tremor came from deep within the palace.

The Spirit Refining Formation, which had been running smoothly, was also affected, and the light began to fluctuate violently.

"What happened?" exclaimed a royal monk.

"Did someone break into the palace?" another monk speculated.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and anxiety.

They knew that there could not be any mistakes at this time, otherwise the emperor's life would be threatened again.

"Quick! Strengthen the stability of the formation!" a royal elder ordered loudly.

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators mobilized their vital energy in an attempt to stabilize the Spirit Refining Formation.

However, the vibrations became more and more violent, as if a powerful force was impacting the depths of the palace.

"Hahaha, my good nephew, you are really scheming. You actually want to survive by risking your life. You almost succeeded, but how could the emperor's uncle let you do what you want!"

At this moment, a burst of arrogant laughter echoed in the depths of the palace, and then a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked out slowly. He had a cold smile on his face, and his eyes revealed ambition and greed.

"It's you! King Wucheng!" a royal monk shouted angrily, "What do you want to do?"

King Wucheng has always been an ambitious person in the royal family. He has long coveted the throne. The emperor's serious illness is also seen as a great opportunity for him to seize power. (End of this chapter)
