Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Hearing this, Qian Yiqian and the others suddenly froze, and doubts gradually appeared in their eyes.

Extreme sword?

Is that the Emperor's Blade that engraved many powerful ancient secrets?What does this guy want the sword of the extreme way for?

The Empress frowned.

"Lu Qing, what do you want to do?"

Lu Chen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Miss Chai is such a righteous person, she shouldn't end up with a broken soul. I remember that in the sword of the extreme way, there is a secret method of the extreme way that can quickly heal the soul. If you really want to Miss Chai used soul searching techniques to prove the innocence of Weichen, and Weichen hopes to preserve Miss Chai's soul as much as possible."

Hearing this, everyone immediately understood, but they looked at Lu Chen with strange eyes.

There was no surprise on the empress's face, obviously she had thought that Lu Chen would say this a long time ago.

"The art of Yuanling..."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Exactly."

However, this time, the empress did not respond to Lu Chen's requests as before, but shook her head slightly.

"Lu Qing, you need to have enough strength to activate the extreme secret method. It is still too reluctant for you now. Forced activation will damage the foundation. I don't want to see you covered in blood again."

Said, without waiting for Lu Chen to respond, the Empress slowly stood up.

"So, this time, let me do it myself."

The moment the voice fell, she suddenly raised her hand.

In the next second, accompanied by a burst of space distortion, the Jidao Sword bathed in golden light appeared in her hands out of thin air.

Hearing this, Qian Yiqian and others objected at the same time.

"Your Majesty, no matter what you say, Chai Hongyu is the number one fierce general under Yu Jiuyuan. He is a traitor. He may look for opportunities to harm His Majesty at any time. How can His Majesty take risks with his body of gold? Although there are prisoner spirits With the chain in place, it is impossible for Chai Hongyu to break free, but His Majesty is the supreme being in the world, the Lord of Central Continent, how can he cast spells for a traitor?"

After the words fell, without waiting for the empress to respond, Gu Simiao suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, let the humble minister come."

As a strong person in the Unity Realm, Gu Simiao possesses spiritual power far beyond that of a conventional monk. With her cultivation level that is almost at the ceiling level, it is reasonable to say that the secret method of the extreme way is not a problem at all.

The Empress didn't even look at the courtiers admonishing her, she focused her eyes on Gu Simiao, and said calmly:

"Gu Aiqing has a heart, but now only I and Lu Qing can use the sword of the extreme way. Except for me and Lu Qing, no one can activate the secret method of the extreme way in the blade."

Gu Simiao: "..."

Others wanted to persuade her again, but the empress walked down the jade steps with the sword of extreme dao in her hand.

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore, anyone who makes any noise will be punished for the crime of obstructing the holy decision!"

As soon as these words came out, the Tai Chi Hall gradually became quiet.

Lessons from the past, the teacher behind the car.

It wasn't long before Zheng Zhong was dragged away, and it is not known whether he was directly beaten to death by the court rod, even if he did not die, his skin would have to be peeled off. They didn't want to follow Zheng Zhong's example and be charged with such a crime for no reason.

In the end, there were only a dozen censors and Shizhong who still insisted, but they only had the right to advise. If the powerful empress did not listen to their advice, they would have nothing to do.

After calming down the officials who were in the way, the empress walked slowly to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but the empress didn't give him a chance to refuse, and said directly to him:

"Lu Qing, if I remember correctly, the soul search technique can use itself as a medium to outline all the memories related to the caster in the target soul body, and present them in the teleportation technique. It consumes quite a lot of spiritual power. If you activate the Yuanling technique at the same time, you will not be able to last long, and you will not see much memory, nor will you be able to prove your innocence. In this way, Miss Chai's good intentions will be completely wasted gone."

Hearing this, Lu Chen subconsciously glanced at Chai Hongyu, and finally put away his subconscious thoughts and nodded.

"In this way, Your Majesty will be thanked."

The Empress smiled without saying a word.

And seeing Lu Chen and the empress look like a monarch and his subjects, Chai Hongyu also smiled, and the smile was filled with pure joy.

And, relief.

Then the Empress asked people to go to the spiritual storehouse to fetch some high-grade spirit stones, spells, and soul-moisturizing grass and other valuable natural materials and earthly treasures, and set up various top-level magic circles in the Tai Chi Hall, trying to use the soul-searching technique as much as possible. Risk is minimized.

However, no matter how well prepared he is, the pain Chai Hongyu will suffer in the process of searching for the soul will not weaken a bit.

After all, all they can do is treat and let the soul recover quickly, not anesthesia.

How far it can be read, whether it can read out the evidence proving Lu Chen's innocence from the complex memory, and make the anti-mainland faction completely give up, the key still depends on Chai Hongyu's willpower.

The people in Ziji City were very efficient in their work. After the Empress gave an order, not long after, many palace people brought in materials, and the formation masters quickly arranged them.

Soon, everything will be ready.

Seeing the formation not far away begin to operate, Chai Hongyu stood up and walked over without hesitation.

"Miss Chai."

Lu Chen suddenly called softly.

Chai Hongyu stopped immediately and turned to look at Lu Chen.

"What's the matter? Is there anything you want to say to me? Governor Lu."

"This official is no longer the governor of Sui and Yu states."

Lu Chen subconsciously corrected it.

Chai Hongyu shook her head.

"I didn't say that my lord, you are the governor of the two states."

As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, stared at Lu Chen's clear eyes, chuckled lightly, and said:

"I call you the governor because, in my mind, you are the only governor of Central Continent who can bless millions of miles."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but startled slightly. These words, which obviously revealed indescribable reverence, made him feel a little heavy in his heart. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

There are thousands of words in the stomach, but it is like a stick in the throat.

When the Empress at the side heard this, especially when she heard the word "Governor of Central Continent", she narrowed her eyes inexplicably, and a deep smile flashed in her eyes.

The governor of the world... is it...

"If Governor Lu has nothing to say to you."

In a daze, Chai Hongyu lowered her eyes for no reason.

"Then let's go first."

Lu Chen came back to his senses in an instant, then shook his head to shake off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then said softly: "Miss Chai, you can take the initiative to surrender to the court and come here to prove your innocence, I am very grateful Do your best, but Miss Chai please do what you can, you don't owe me anything, and you don't have to do everything for me."

After a pause, he said again:

"Don't say who is important and who is insignificant. It is worthwhile to exchange light for important. There is no one in this world who is unimportant. People who don't value themselves are not worthy of being valued."

What Lu Chen said at this time had only pure intentions and no other purpose at all.

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu couldn't help biting her lower lip lightly.

After a while, she nodded slightly.

"Well, I can save it."

After finishing speaking, she turned around again and walked forward briskly, with no trace of confusion in her charming eyes.

Everything is so natural.

Seeing her back as she walked towards the center of the newly arranged formation, Lu Chen sighed inexplicably.

"Let's go."

Accompanied by a gust of fragrant wind, the Empress' voice slowly rang in her ears.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen responded, followed behind the empress, and at the same time quickly built the seal and spiritual power circuit of the soul search technique.

Even though he seldom casts spells himself, his strength is actually not bad, at least far surpassing most of the monks with the same cultivation level. When he is needed to cast spells, he is completely worthy.

The Tai Chi Hall is very large, more than enough to accommodate 2 to [-] people.

The civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty who had nothing to do with spellcasting gathered a hundred meters away from the formation, looking nervous, serious, or expectantly watching the formation that was emitting bursts of blue light not far away.

Only Gu Simiao, who is the great general of Shenwu, stood by the empress's side, acting as a super guard with the powerful strength of a strong man in the same realm.

Not long after, Chai Hongyu came to the eye of the formation.

Then she slowly closed her eyes, relaxed her whole body, and let the inscriptions floating around gather towards her.

In the next second, her whole body slowly rose in the stream of spiritual power gushing out from the eye of the formation, and finally she was quietly suspended in mid-air.

"The technique of Yuanling!"

The empress suddenly let out a soft drink, and at the same time raised the sword of the extreme way high in her hand.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the sword of the extreme way burst into light, and then a beam of blue brilliance flew out of the sword of the extreme way, and landed on Chai Hongyu in an instant.

"Um..."

That brilliance instantly melted into Chai Hongyu's body and merged with the soul in her body.

The sudden influx of power made Chai Hongyu groan subconsciously.

Compared to when Lu Chen used the extreme secret method, he was bleeding almost every time, when the female emperor, the real master of the extreme sword, performed it, he was in a much better state. The color, on the contrary, seems to be a little more comfortable.

Now that the empress has made a move, Lu Chen naturally won't hesitate any longer.

He first took a deep breath, then put his palms together suddenly, and at the same time his eyes were suddenly fixed, the spiritual power in his body surged wildly, and the extremely functional but incomparably tasteless spell was activated instantly——

Soul search technique!

Whoa whoa whoa!

Accompanied by the rapid evaporation of spiritual power, a strange energy gushed out from Lu Chen's body quickly, and flew towards Chai Hongyu not far away along the magic circle under his feet.

The moment the two came into contact, the shadow transfer circle behind Chai Hongyu turned instantly, and a light curtain suddenly appeared.

At the same time as the picture appeared on the light curtain, Lu Chen suddenly felt his world spinning, and his consciousness shifted rapidly in the endless darkness.

When he regained consciousness again and his vision became clear, everything in front of him completely changed.
