Chapter 51 The East China Sea has become a mess!
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Zhang Wei and others looked up and were immediately delighted.

"Brother Si, you're back?"

That’s right, this person is the monster catcher Si Junpeng who has not been seen for a long time!

Although it is normal for a monster hunter to disappear for a month or two, it does not prevent them from meeting and chatting for a while.

"I didn't expect that you, Zijie, would be able to buy a property in the market so quickly. I'm really envious!"

Si Junpeng was pulled by Zhang Wei to sit on a chair. He looked around and said enviously.

"This is also thanks to the support of my family." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Xiao Yunshan asked, "How is the situation in the East China Sea?"

Zhang Wei was also curious. Before Si Junpeng left, he said that he was going to the East China Sea to hunt monsters. Now that the Longmen tide was about to arrive, it was a good opportunity to ask about the situation over there.

Si Junpeng sighed and said, "The situation is not optimistic."

"Ever since the news of the Dragon Gate Tide spread throughout the mortal world, the East China Sea has been in chaos. Prices have skyrocketed, and robbers have appeared one after another!"

Si Junpeng complained, and then through his story, Zhang Wei and others learned that Si Junpeng himself was from the East China Sea, and this trip back to his hometown was not only to hunt monsters, but also to pick up his clansmen in the mortal world.

Because of this, he witnessed many mundane tragedies.

Si Junpeng cursed, “If it were just this, it would be fine, but because the Longmen Tide is about to arrive, the number of independent cultivators in the East China Sea has increased dramatically.

These outsiders are not good people. Most of them are just trying to make a quick buck and leave. Some of them simply become bandits and start robbing houses. They are simply unworthy of being a cultivator! Some even..."

At this point, Si Junpeng lowered his voice and said, "I also found traces of the demon cultivator!"

"Demon cultivator?!"

Zhang Wei and others were shocked when they heard this.

Xiao Yunshan asked: "Are you telling the truth?"

Si Junpeng said: "Well, I saw with my own eyes two demon cultivators attacking the disaster victims passing by, probably wanting to use their flesh and blood to refine their demonic skills.

However, they were not very powerful, so I killed them along the way. But there must be more than these two demon cultivators taking advantage of the troubled waters in the Longmen Tide.

In addition, some lurking monsters on the coast caused chaos. Even with my protection, my people suffered a lot along the way! Not to mention the ordinary people... Alas... The people are suffering..."

Si Junpeng sighed, then seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, where's Lao Jiang? I didn't see him on the way here. Is the Beichang still so busy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Si Junpeng clearly felt that the atmosphere in the store was a little cold.

"Daoyou Jiang, he..."

Zhang Wei considered his words and said, "It is very likely that he died..."

"Some time ago, the spiritual shells in the market escaped, and Jiang Shun was arranged by the shell field to find the King of Shells. But he has not been seen for several months. I'm afraid he is in great danger..." Xiao Yunshan sighed.

But Qin Xiaoling said: "Look at it in a positive way, maybe Brother Jiang Daoist has obtained the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and is hiding from the limelight and trying to break through the foundation.

He has taken so many good things from Xiaofan, plus the Moyun Shuttle. Unless a master of foundation building takes action, who among the ordinary cultivators can stop him?
Who knows, when we see Brother Jiang again, he may have already become a master of foundation building!"

Several people nodded in agreement, including Zhang Wei, but he was obviously not in a good mood.

However, Xiao Yunshan and his wife also expressed their understanding.

After all, before Jiang Shun left, he borrowed something equivalent to one thousand and two spirit stones from Zhang Wei!

Si Junpeng saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Xiaofan, I remember you said before that you also wanted to go and experience the Longmen Tide, right?"

Zhang Wei: “Yeah.”

Si Junpeng said seriously, "Then I have two more pieces of news to tell you. You can decide whether to go or not after listening to them. They are in Shuiyun County south of the East China Sea and near the Qi Kingdom."

Zhang Wei asked curiously, "What happened there?"

Si Junpeng explained: "In Qi Country, a cave of a Purple Mansion cultivator has appeared! Cultivators from many countries are rushing there! From what I've heard, there are already as many foundation-building cultivators as I can count on my hands!"

"Master Zifu's cave?!"

When these words were spoken, the three of them were shocked again.

Especially Zhang Wei, after all, he accepted a lot of Master Luoxia's property.

Zhang Wei benefited from the burial objects that the Corpse King could not take away and did not value for several years. To this day, he has not even used up one fifth of them! Not to mention the truly valuable treasures that the Corpse King carried with him!
Moreover, he was a casual cultivator. Although he was a bit poor, he used all his treasures for himself. He did not need to leave most of his property to his descendants like Master Luoxia.

It is conceivable how wealthy this Purple Mansion casual cultivator's cave is! Not to mention the foundation-building masters, maybe it won't be long before the Purple Mansion masters who are in deep cultivation in Linglong Domain will show up!
Xiao Yunshan asked, "Do you know which master's cave this is?"

Si Junpeng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Over the past few thousand years in the East China Sea, there have been at least eighty Purple Mansion masters who have died. Who knows which master it is? But the danger is certain!

I think it was buried by a Longmen tide, so no one found it until a small earthquake before the Longmen tide came some time ago, when it was exposed.

Because the cave was built on a first-level spiritual vein, the power of the protective formation is still there, and it is a genuine third-level formation!
There was a foundation-building expert in Qi State who thought he could try to force his way in, but he died when he tried, and was directly killed by the formation without leaving even a hair.

However, affected by the grade of the spirit vein, the formation will not last that long. By then, there will definitely be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, and the possibility of the emergence of the essence of heaven and earth is very high. If you want to build a foundation, Xiaofan, you can go and give it a try! "

"I understand!" Zhang Wei asked again: "What about Shuiyun County?"

Si Junpeng said with a heavy face: "Someone in Shuiyun has found traces of a dragon!"

"what!"

When Zhang Wei and his companions heard this, their expressions were even more shocked than when they first heard about the Purple Mansion Cave.

dragon!
That's a legendary creature!
In fact, the cultivators from the five domains and seventy-three countries had never seen a real dragon. Their knowledge of dragons was thanks to the golden elixir spirit beast that escaped from the Linghu Immortal Palace with serious injuries.

A Yuanying Zhenjun and a Jindan spirit beast used their lives to tell the Five Regions and Seventy-Three Countries how powerful this creature is!
Zhang Wei asked, "Are you serious?"

Si Junpeng said: "I also heard that there was a thunderstorm in Shuiyun County a few days ago, and some casual cultivators heard some strange noises in the thunderstorm.

Then I saw two strange beasts tumbling in the sea of ​​thunder and cloud. One of them looked very similar to the dragon in the picture book! The other one was the ancient demon Kui! "

"Kui?!"

Zhang Wei's heart moved.

The so-called ancient monsters are also monsters, but they are the source of the bloodlines of the monsters that are generally known today. They are more powerful than ordinary monsters. Each ancient monster has mysterious innate magical powers. Once they reach adulthood, they will definitely be at the golden elixir level!

But since the great changes in heaven and earth, the traces of the ancient monsters have become less and less. The most recent record was a thousand years ago, when a Dang Kang in the early Jindan stage in the Jiexian Mountains led a beast tide and personally broke through the defenses of Yulong Mountain, causing both countries to fall into war.

Although Dang Kang was finally killed by the five major immortal sects, Yulong Zhenren, whose strength reached the middle stage of Jindan, was also seriously injured by Dang Kang and died after only a hundred years. This shows how powerful the ancient monster was.

As for Kui, it is the ancient monster with the most legends in the coastal areas of the Five Regions.

Legend has it that it looks like an ox, with a dark body but no horns, and one foot under its belly. When it enters or leaves the water, there will be wind, rain, and thunder following it. Its light is like the sun and the moon, its voice is like thunder, and its eyes are like rainbows.

And he is particularly good at thunder magic!

Even among the ancient monsters of the same level, its combat power is a powerful existence that ranks high!
Anyone who can fight against an ancient monster like Kui head-on and not be defeated, even if he is not a real dragon, must be an ancient monster of the same level as it!
Si Junpeng continued, “No one can tell the outcome of that battle, because so far no one has found any trace of the two beasts, so maybe they left after the fight.

But there is no doubt that the two are very powerful! The battlefield covers hundreds of miles in radius, and until now there are still the remaining demonic powers of the two fierce beasts. Even the foundation-building masters cannot stay here any longer! Originally, the matter should have ended here.

However, a casual cultivator in Shuiyun County obtained a scale. The scale contained tremendous power. Just this scale could ignore the attacks of second-level talismans and second-level magic weapons!

It even has the innate ability to control water! Even if it is not used to refine magic weapons, using it directly is equivalent to a second-level magic weapon, the water token!
Therefore, Shuiyun County became chaotic, and many independent cultivators went there to look for opportunities to see if they could find the magical materials left behind by these two ferocious beasts.

But overall, it is much safer there than in the Zifu Cave.

If you are not in a hurry to build your foundation, Xiaofan, you can go there to gain some experience. If you can find one or two pieces of demon materials from those two beasts, it will be great whether you sell them to those sects or use them yourself."

Zhang Wei asked: "Where will you go?"

Si Junpeng chuckled and looked up, "Me? Of course I want to go to the Purple Mansion Cave to have a try!"

“I am 42 years old this year. I thought I had broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining at the age of 35, and I was considered a local genius. However, I was unable to build a foundation because I did not have the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and I wasted several years in vain.

The spiritual veins of this Purple Mansion Cave have been hidden for who knows how long, and it is very likely that the spiritual essence of heaven and earth will be nurtured! So even if a foundation-building master is in front of me, I will fight for it!"

Si Junpeng said this with great pride, and this passionate and enterprising spirit also infected Zhang Wei and others, who all gave him their blessings.

"Then I wish Brother Si a successful start!"

In order to welcome Si Junpeng, Zhang Wei specially closed the business for a day and took everyone to Zuixianlou to give Si Junpeng a good shower.

After doing all this, Zhang Wei returned to Yundu, planning to restock the grocery store a few last times before the Longmen tide.

However, when Zhang Wei was staying at the Zhang Mansion, the doorman came over with a letter and said, "Master, someone outside gave me an invitation. I hope you can come and meet me."

Keep an appointment?

Who is it?

Zhang Wei took the envelope suspiciously and opened it. When he saw the contents, his brows immediately frowned.

In the evening, at Princess Hongxia’s mansion.

Zhang Wei looked at the dilapidated gate of the princess's mansion and recalled all the information he had heard about Luo Hongxia before he came here.

He was actually not familiar with Princess Hongxia.

The impression comes from those few encounters.

Even if he happened to save her from the wolf demon, it was just a matter of convenience. His original intention was to use the hunting of the wolf demon to get in touch with the Shrine.

The result... haha... I got a cold shoulder.

So after Luo Hongxia took the initiative to invite him today, saying that she wanted to thank him for saving her life during the autumn hunt, Zhang Wei took the initiative to inquire about the information about this unfortunate princess.

Only then did I know why she was not favored.

How should I put it? It's quite weird.

Because Luo Yun is most likely not Princess Hongxia’s biological father.

It is said that when Luo Yun was in the palace, he was suspected by the late emperor, so he sent several concubines in the mansion to the palace in the name of offering beauties for his brother's enjoyment, in order to express his loyalty. Among them was Luo Hongxia's mother.

Later, Luo Yun successfully seized the throne and took all the concubines back. However, not long after, Luo Hongxia's mother was diagnosed with pregnancy.

Therefore, Princess Hongxia is very likely to be the posthumous child of Emperor Yun.

If Luo Yun's life had not been rather chaotic during that period, resulting in the uncertainty of Princess Hongxia's identity, coupled with the restrictions of the royal family's laws, Luo Hongxia would probably have died in her infancy.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Luo Hongxia to be favored. Luo Yun is not Chun Huazi's father and does not have such a broad mind.

For an unpopular princess, or a princess in name only, one can imagine that her childhood living conditions in the palace would not be so good.

If she had not been sure that she was not a threat to the throne, she would probably have had no hope of living to the age of 15. This is why it was okay for the Yang family's slave to slap Princess Hongxia, because no one in the Yundu noble circle really treated her as a princess.

Logically speaking, if a princess were to come into contact with such a person, it would be like the cat missing the fish and getting caught in a mess.

But after receiving the invitation from the other party, Zhang Wei thought about it and decided to come and accept the invitation.

Because many troubles cannot be avoided just by not wanting to get involved. From the moment you are targeted by others, you can't get rid of them.

Instead of passively accepting other people's calculations, it is better to face the trouble head-on. In that way, you can more or less take control of the initiative.

So, Zhang Wei came.

The servant of the princess's mansion respectfully took Zhang Wei into the back house, brought him to the courtyard where Princess Hongxia's mansion was located, and then left tactfully.

Zhang Wei walked in.

Then he saw Peng Qing squatting at the door enjoying the cold wind.

He hadn't noticed Zhang Wei had arrived yet. He was squatting on the ground, cursing and venting his anger on the grass.

"A pair of adulterers and adulterers!"

Peng Qing cursed: "Why don't you guys just enjoy yourselves? Why do you let me guard the door outside? I'm tired of this rubbish! Oh... my little Taohong, I miss you so much..."

Zhang Wei: "..."

After hearing what Peng Qing said, he subconsciously wanted to see if there was a stick around with which to beat Peng Qing.

But unfortunately, although the princess's mansion was dilapidated, it was still quite clean. Zhang Wei did not find the stick he was looking for, so he just walked behind Peng Qing and shouted.

"What are you doing!"

Peng Qing jumped up instantly!
When he turned around and saw that it was Zhang Wei, he immediately shouted angrily: "Why are you shouting so loudly! Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

Zhang Wei sneered and said, "Aren't you scared to death yet?"

"you……"

Peng Qing was furious, and rolled up his sleeves to argue with Zhang Wei, but as soon as he walked in front of Zhang Wei, he found that the other party was a head taller than him...

"Ok?"

Zhang Wei glared at Peng Qing, and he immediately wilted.

Then Zhang Wei snorted disdainfully and walked straight past Peng Qing into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Wei saw Luo Hongxia, whom he had not seen for a long time, wearing a red dress and sitting at the table with some wine and food on it.

The food and drinks were very normal, there were no drugs with aphrodisiac effects, and the people involved were dressed normally. It seemed like a normal thank-you party... right?

At this time, Zhang Wei's radar sense detected a crossbow under the table...

Zhang Wei immediately said solemnly: "Zhang Zijie, I meet Princess Hongxia."

I received a message from the editor saying that it will be on the shelves tomorrow, so the update will be late. I thought about updating 10,000 words every day after it is on the shelves for ten consecutive days and changing the badge. What do you think? Or should I upload ten chapters directly?
