Chapter 153 Three days later, Xingluo Palace. "What did you say? The tiger and the jackal failed?" Putting down the official duties he was dealing with, Star Luo Emperor Dai Yutian stared at Prime Minister Pierce in the palace with wide eyes. Two Soul Douluo plus six Soul Saints couldn't deal with a small Chu Chengzhou? You're probably not kidding! "Yes, Your Majesty, the tiger and the jackal have fallen into the hands of the Tiandou Empire. After being bribed by the minister, I got the news from the envoy from Tiandou. When the target Chu left Tiandou City by boat, he secretly followed Chen Xin. Except for the tiger and the jackal who were captured, the other six people were killed on the spot. " Pierce hurriedly explained. As one of the architects behind this assassination plan, although Pierce's strength is not strong, he still has some understanding of the strength of the Tigers and others. Perhaps two or three Contras would not be a match for the Eight Tigers, but against a Titled Douluo, they would definitely miss. What's more, the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is well-known and is known as the number one attacker in the mainland (that's what the original book says, it's not small). Even if you look at all the titled Douluo in the mainland, Chen Xin is one of the stronger ones. Tiger and others Naturally, people cannot ask for favors.
Well, I hope the empire can reimburse him for the bribe he secretly gave to Tiandou’s envoy. This stupid Tiandou person is simply greedy! Curse him for not having a son. "Chen Xin? Damn it! A dignified titled Douluo is actually so mean!" Dai Yutian immediately cursed secretly. In Dai Yutian's view, Chen Xin cooperated with Chu Chengzhou to fish and harmed his own masters. It was simply a waste of being a titled Douluo, not Bi Lian! As for the fact that he sent two Soul Douluo and six Soul Saints to deal with Chu Chengzhou, whose soul power level was only the fourth and fifth rings, it was even more incompetent? It's just the Tigers and the others who did this, what does it have to do with me, the Great Emperor? "Your Majesty, Tiandou is here to state that the empire sent assassins to assassinate Chu Chengzhou, and the evidence is conclusive. I want the empire to give an explanation. How should I respond?" Pierce probed cautiously. His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have a very good personality, I hope he won't get angry later. "Reply? Go, Pierce, tell that bullshit Tiandou envoy that Wuhun Palace did this and that everything was framed by Wuhun Palace and has nothing to do with the empire. Well, if you mention it by the way, the empire is willing to send people to help Tiandou find out the truth. " Dai Yutian said without hesitation. If you say that I, Xing Luo, did this, does it really mean that I, Xing Luo, did it? unambiguous evidence? This is clearly framed by the evil Wuhun Palace! The last time the empire took the blame, it was just because the key point was grasped, and the white tiger martial spirit inherited by the royal family would be leaked, so it was a last resort. But this time, it was just two Contras, and it was not worthy for the Empire to lose face and admit that this unflattering act was done by the Empire. I, the Star Luo Empire, just refuse to admit it, what can you do to me? Come hit me if you dare! "Yes, Your Majesty!" Pierce resigned. after an hour. "Pierce, how's it going?" Dai Yutian asked Pierce who entered the store again.
"Your Majesty, things have changed. After I conveyed my answer to you, Tiandou came and said that the defeat of the eight of the Tigers was not simply due to the presence of Chen Xin from the Qibao Glazed Sect. Fire Sparrow Flying Eagle and the other six were not killed by Chen Xin, but by Chu Chengzhou himself. In addition, the ministers bribed again, and Tiandou came to declare that Emperor Xueye appointed him to resolve the conflicts that had arisen in the past between the empire and Chu Chengzhou. " Pierce said solemnly. At this moment, Pierce's heart was bleeding. He had invested all his salary this year and last year for the empire. "What? That little Chu Zhou can kill six soul saints in one battle?!" Suddenly, Dai Yutian's eyes widened. Pierce explained: “Your Majesty, although this matter sounds a bit unbelievable, it is not impossible. According to the information, in the previous Soul Master Competition, the strength displayed by Chu Chengzhou from the Four Environment Realm was not much worse than that of the ordinary Seven-ring Soul Saint. Now that his soul power has advanced to the Five-ring Soul King, his strength will definitely improve. " Hearing this, Dai Yutian fell into deep thought. There are two roads before him right now. One is to follow the steps given by Tiandou and choose to reach a reconciliation with Chu Chengzhou. The other one ignored Tiandou and continued to target and assassinate Chu Chengzhou. The first way is that the empire loses face. After all, this is tantamount to submission in disguise. The second path is full of unknown risks. If the subsequent assassination can kill Chu Chengzhou, everyone will be happy, but if Chu Chengzhou cannot be killed, once he grows up, it will be a nightmare for the empire. As the emperor of a country, Dai Yutian is very aware of the destructive power of a strong lone man. Even if Chu Chengzhou grew up in the future and was no match for the entire empire, he would still cause immeasurable losses to the empire as long as he jumped out to cause trouble, such as attacking cities across the empire. Especially Chu Chengzhou's mutated martial soul is very suitable for causing destruction. When other lone masters cause damage, you must be there in person. If you send some masters to surround them, even if you cannot kill them on the spot, you can still form an effective control, and you will not dare to be so unscrupulous. But Chu Chengzhou was different. As soon as the summoned beast was released, he himself fled, leaving behind the summoned beast that could be summoned again after death to cause destruction. It was not easy to send experts to contain it. After all, according to the intelligence, Chu Chengzhou's summoned beast can not only change body size, but also has intelligence. Sneak into a big city quietly, throw a shrunken summoned beast into a corner of the city, wait two or three days after the person runs away, and the summoned beast comes out to cause trouble, and the empire cannot catch the culprit at all. After thinking for a long time, Dai Yutian said: "Does the envoy from Tiandou have any request for reconciliation?" Although Dai Yutian has a domineering personality, he is not without brains. Naturally, he knows that if he wants to reconcile, the Star Luo Empire cannot do it without paying some price. After all, it was his family that resorted to unseemly means first. And counting the scapegoat he took last time, this is the second time he has resorted to such unflattering tactics. If Chu Chengzhou could reconcile without any demands, then Dai Yutian would definitely believe that Chu Chengzhou had bad intentions and was deliberately succumbing to the empire, and would come back to take revenge when his fist became stronger in the future. Of course, even if the requirements for reconciliation are harsh, it does not rule out the possibility. But the empire had no choice. Unless it was completely sure that Chu Chengzhou could be killed, it could only choose reconciliation. After all, the empire had a great cause and the losses from retaliation were unbearable.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Tiandou has said that the prerequisite for the negotiation and reconciliation is that the royal family terminates the engagement of the second young lady of the Zhu family. As for the other things, we have not mentioned them yet." Pierce said bravely. Why slap in the face? This is it! And this matter is also the source of the grudge between the empire and Chu Chengzhou. Upon hearing this, Dai Yutian's face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but think of his good-for-nothing third son. In fact, Dai Mubai's talent is not bad, even better than Davis. The reason why he was suppressed by Davis is just because of his age. But I didn't expect that Dai Mubai was just a piece of shit who couldn't stick to the wall. He had no responsibility and a cowardly personality. He even had his fiancée snatched away. He was really a loser. If this wasn't his biological son, Dai Yutian would have wanted to strangle him to death. "Hmph~, I agree to this! As for the rest, Pierce, try your best to ensure the interests of the empire." With a cold snort, Dai Yutian responded. Although accepting this may seem like a slap in the face, there is no actual loss. After all, even if the royal family does not agree to this, it will not change the fact that Zhu Zhuqing is in Tiandou. Anyway, there are many girls in the Zhu family, so it would be wrong to choose another one. If I don’t have such a useless son, what kind of fiancée do I need? Forget about death! "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!" Pierce bowed and responded. "Wait a minute~" Dai Yutian stopped Pierce who was about to leave. "What other orders does Your Majesty have?" "Pierce, go ahead. Forget it, get down!" Just as he was talking, Dai Yutian thought of something and waved his hand again. Although he was a little confused, Pierce didn't think much, resigned and left the hall. "Come here, ask the second elder of the royal family to come!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" The imperial guard guarding outside the palace responded. Then, Dai Yutian's eyes flashed with a glint in the hall. Dai Yutian felt that between reconciliation and non-reconciliation, he should choose a two-pronged approach. Dai Yutian: Only children make choices, the great Emperor Xingluo wants them all! On the one hand, the empire reached a reconciliation with Chu Chengzhou, while on the other hand, the assassinations continued. After all, thinking from his perspective, Dai Yutian would not really think that after reaching a settlement, Chu Chengzhou would no longer hold grudges against the empire. It’s like an emperor killing a hero. Is it because the hero is ready to rebel? Maybe, but most of them are not. The reason why they are killed is just because the hero has the ability to rebel. You don’t need to have raised a flag to rebel. As long as you have the ability, you deserve death.
Similarly, if Chu Chengzhou has the ability to retaliate against the empire in the future, it would be best to eradicate him in advance, lest he really becomes a serious trouble. Of course, in order to avoid revealing the truth, future assassinations cannot be carried out directly by the empire or the royal family. There are no desperadoes on the mainland. As long as the reward is enough, there will definitely be experts who are willing to take on this kind of dirty work. As long as the people who come forward to contact them hide their lies, even if they make a mistake, the empire will not be implicated. Moreover, after the empire chooses to reconcile, Chu Chengzhou and the Qibao Glazed Sect will inevitably relax their vigilance, making it easier to succeed. More than ten days later, Chu returned to his home from the palace by boat. "Zhuqing, look what this is?" Chu Chengzhou raised the two gold-gilded books in his hands. "What is this?" Blinking, Zhu Zhuqing said with some confusion. Chu Chengzhou smiled, said nothing, and handed the two copies of the engagement letter to Zhu Zhuqing. Due to the inconvenience of transportation and communication, the envoys sent by various forces in the mainland are basically flying soul masters. The envoy from Xingluo moved very quickly. Now that the negotiation and reconciliation has come to an end, he went to Tiandou Palace today. The envoy from Xingluo Empire handed over the agreement signed between the Xingluo royal family and the Netherworld Lingmao family in the past. The third prince Dai Mubai and Zhu The engagement letter of Zhu Zhuqing, the second daughter of the family, was handed over to him. From that moment on, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer the quasi-prince and concubine of the Star Luo Empire. Opening the gold cover of one of the books, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes caught the three characters "engagement contract". When she saw her and Dai Mubai's names written on it, and the signatures of her father and Star Luo Emperor Dai Yutian at the end, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes fell with golden doudou. Gently wiping away the tears on the big cat's face, Chu Chengzhou said: "Don't cry, we should be happy, let's tear them up! From now on, you are just the second young lady of the Zhu family, and I, Chu Chengzhou's wife !” Nodding his head heavily, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power surged in his hands, and he tore the two copies of the very good quality engagement letter into pieces, and then hugged Chu Chengzhou. "kiss Me!" Faced with the request of the girl in his arms, Chu Chengzhou did not refuse, nor could he refuse. After a while, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but started to make small moves. "Don't let us wait for two years." Zhu Zhuqing, who was blushing, pushed Chu Chengzhou's head away and whispered. She is not yet 15 years old, and she used to hear her family elders say that if she loses her virginity too early, it will affect her cultivation. In fact, what Zhu Zhuqing doesn't know is that it is not the loss of one's body that affects cultivation, but the addiction to happiness that affects cultivation. And how many young people who have tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time can resist being addicted to this? "Yeah, let's wait two years before we get married, that's all." As he spoke, Chu Chengzhou's mental power surged out, and the virtual illusion world was activated, pulling his sister's consciousness into the illusion. half a month later. In the afternoon, Chu Chengzhou sat on the deck chair in the courtyard, facing the setting sun, waiting for his secret skill to be upgraded. Soon, the quality of the defensive skills in the idle block on the attribute panel was improved and turned red.
At the same time, a large amount of information and insights about the defensive skills after promotion poured into Chu Chengzhou's mind. After a long time, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but have a smile on his face after digesting his thoughts. The next second, attributeless soul power surged out, and a seemingly illusory blue soul power flower condensed one foot above his head. As the petals fell, a layer of blue light emerged from Chu Chengzhou's body. . Immediately afterwards, Chu Chengzhou transformed his own non-attributed soul power into the light-attributed soul power of the Light Lion Summoning Spirit Xiaobai. The faint blue soul power flower a foot above his head, the falling petals, and the glow on his body The dim light that arose immediately turned into white with the attribute of light. Along with the conversion of soul power of different attributes, the illusory flower also changed into the color of the corresponding attribute, from the fire attribute red of the Fire Phoenix Summoner Xiaohong, to the metallic gold of the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear Summoner Bear, and the mysterious The water in Water Turtle Caller Turtle [-] is black. The azure tree and the small green tree are green? Well, this color is not suitable for appearing on the head. After experiencing the upgraded defensive skills, Chu Chengzhou changed his mind and changed his name to Flower Blossom Moment. He then moved out of the idle block and replaced the Sun Shooting Arrow skills. After making up for the defensive shortcomings, the first thing to improve next is naturally the attack method. The moment the flowers bloom, one of the thirty-six heavenly powers in the myths and legends of the past life, there are thousands of golden flowers on the head, with pearls hanging down, in an endless stream, shining brightly, for Qingyun's body protection method, it is one of Yuanshi Tianzun's defensive powers. one. Of course, Chu Chengzhou's Huakai Mo was not that awesome, and he was far inferior to the Yuanshi boss. To be precise, it was incomparable. Defensive skills: The moment the flower blooms, it can defend against all physical, energy and spiritual attacks. The flower of soul power is not broken, and any form of damage cannot be effective on him. And because the level is as high as red, the flower of soul power generates a protective divine light. , the defense strength can match the [-]-year-old defensive soul skill. Of course, compared to the [-]-year-old defensive soul skill, Flower Blossom Moment is still a little behind in some aspects. Generally speaking, a soul master's martial soul avatar can have the effect of amplifying his own soul skills. Just like Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Civet Avatar in the original work, its effect is to increase the speed, and the effects of all soul skills are increased by 50%. If Flower Blooming Moment is her own defensive soul skill of the Nether Civet Spirit, then the defense effect will naturally be increased by 50%. But the flower blooming moment is not a soul skill, it is a self-created soul skill, and it cannot be enhanced by the martial soul's true body. However, even if the self-created soul skills are not enhanced by the martial soul avatar, in the martial soul avatar state, the soul master's own strength base is temporarily increased, and the specific effects released will naturally be enhanced, but it will be less than a clear percentage. Just an increase. In addition, because it is a purely defensive skill, Huakai Mo is not immune to restraint-type soul control skills, nor is it immune to mental illusions. If the mental illusion also has a mental attack effect, then the effect of the mental illusion will still exist, but the mental attack will be resisted by the flower of soul power condensed above the head. Moreover, apart from mental illusions, flowers can instantly block any adverse effects. For example, when Chu Chengzhou is in a high-temperature environment, the flower blooms instantly and can completely isolate the influence of high temperature before the flower of soul power above his head is broken. In addition, because the secret skill: Absolute Control gives him relatively perfect control over his own power, although he cannot use it on others immediately after the flower blooms, it still doesn't matter if he expands the range of the protective divine light formed by the flower of soul power above his head. questionable. It's just that the greater the protection range of the body-protecting divine light, the weaker the upper limit of the soul power flower's defense, and the stronger the attack, the more soul power will be consumed. "It seems like I can go to the Killing City and enter the realm of the God of Killing?" Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but think to himself. The effect of the God of Death Domain is still very strong. The most basic God of Death Domain can increase one's own strength by 10% and suppress the opponent's strength by 10%. One plus and one subtraction equals to a 20% gap. And this is the most basic God of Killing Domain. With the growth of the martial soul, or through continuous killing, the effect of the God of Killing Domain can continue to improve, growing to the point where it can increase one's own strength by 20% and suppress the opponent's strength by 20%. . However, although the Killing God Domain is good, the Killing City is not a good place. The prerequisite for obtaining the Killing God Domain is to first win a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Killing Fields.
Except for some 'official authority dogs', soul masters are restricted from using soul skills in the Killing City. They can only use the power of the spirit itself, self-created soul skills, soul bone skills, and foreign objects such as soul guides to fight. . Although Chu Chengzhou went to the Killing City and was unable to summon Xiong Da and other summoned beasts, if everyone restricted the use of soul skills, it would be unflattering. Titled Douluo like She Long could not defeat him, and even Bailian in the Hell Killing Fields could not defeat him. It is not difficult to win. But a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Killing Fields is only one of the thresholds for obtaining the Killing God Realm. The road to Hell that follows is the real difficulty. Of course, Chu Chengzhou had no plans to go to the Killing City to obtain the Killing God Domain before. It was not because he was afraid of the dark gold three-headed bat king and ten-headed blazing sun snakes on the road to hell, but because he felt that he could not stop them on the road to hell. Evil energy erodes everywhere. In the original work, Tang San was able to break through because he had the power of the domain and used the blue silver domain to isolate these energy erosions. As for the consequences of not being able to resist the erosion of evil energy without domain protection, just refer to Hu Liena's performance in the original Road to Hell. Originally, Chu Chengzhou planned to wait until his soul power level was high before going there. After all, with a high soul power level, he would naturally be able to better resist the erosion of evil energy in the Hell Road. Tang Hao is also one of the killing gods in the world. At that time, Tang Hao went to the killing city to experience, but he had no field. If Tang Hao could do it, he must be able to do it too. But since the flower bloom after the upgrade and transformation can instantly isolate any adverse effects except mental illusions, then the trip to the Killing City can naturally be advanced. Anyway, I must go to that ghost place, not only to obtain the God of Killing Domain, but also for my sister. The real trajectory is different from the original work, but in Chu Chengzhou's opinion, Hu Liena will still go to the Killing City to experience it, because she is a girl with a proud character and unwilling to admit defeat. Similarly, this girl also overestimates her abilities. In the original book, she went to the Killing City to practice if her level was not even five rings. If Tang San hadn't been there, this girl would definitely have died on the Hell Road. Of course he had to protect his sister, so he had to go to this murderous city, and he could only do it early, not late. It doesn't matter if you go early, you will get the Killing God Domain, and after becoming the Killing God of the Killing City, you can travel back and forth to the Killing City freely. But if he goes too late, the overestimating girl will already be on the road to hell, and he won't have time to regret it. As for how to get to the Killing City? There is a rumor among the evil soul master circles in the mainland soul master world that the Killing City is a paradise for evil soul masters. If you are desperate on the mainland after committing a crime, you only need to go to the Killing City and you no longer need to worry about being hunted by the Spirit Hall. This rumor is indeed true. It can be said that there is no way out of the Killing City because of it. For thousands of years, the number of people who can come out of that ghost place can be counted with two slaps. Naturally, the hunting manpower of Wuhun Palace will not chase them. Enter the city of killing. Perhaps this rumor was secretly spread by Wuhun Palace? Just to make those evil soul masters obediently seek death? But this is not the point. Since there is this rumor, the entrance location of the Killing City may be a secret, but it is definitely not a secret. Otherwise, how could the evil soul masters obediently die if they couldn't even find their location? Even many evil soul masters know about it, and soul masters from time to time enter the Slaughter City on the mainland. So the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, which has been passed down for a long time, must also know the location of the entrance to the Slaughter City. If he wants to go to the city of killing, he can just go to his father-in-law Ning Fengzhi. (End of this chapter)
