Chapter 189: New Destiny, the Northern Emperor, Guan Dao Zizai Eight days later, Zhanzhou, Feiying City. This city is one of the four major prefectures in Zhanzhou, ranking second among the prefectures only after Shengjin City. It is three times more prosperous than Jiangcheng Prefecture, and its population is several times that of Jiangcheng Prefecture. Travelers coming and going from the south and the north are as numerous as carp crossing the river, and the crowds are shoulder to shoulder. It was evening now. There were restaurants on both sides of the street. All the major brothels were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Young women at the door were soliciting customers with alluring eyes. There was a constant stream of people coming in and out, and from time to time one could hear the graceful singing of singing girls and the melodious sounds of zither and flute. "Ya, Ya, it's really Ya! Wow! After several years, I came back to visit this place, and it still has the same flavor!" Inside a carriage, Miao Daqi drew aside the curtains and looked at the lively scene outside. He shook his head and acted so disrespectful that Li Chenxi was dumbfounded. "Silly boy, you haven't learned how to enjoy yourself from your city lord at all." Miao Daqi glanced at Li Chenxi, pointed at the carriage behind him, and said with a smile, "That little girl Dugu serves your city lord so well every day. You should learn more from her. After you settle down, I will take you out for some entertainment!" Li Chenxi shyly waved her hands, "No, no, Senior Miao, we are here to do business for the city lord, not for fun." Miao Daqi was stunned, "You're not still here for the first time, are you?"
Li Chenxi's face flushed immediately. Miao Daqi said, "Then I'll take you to experience it. The women in Zhanzhou are very exotic." Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise from the opposite street. The crowd surged, blocking the carriages from moving. "It's Wan Baoyi, who is ranked third on the list. He used to be ranked second. I didn't expect him to come too." "The one challenging him is Yan Xuefeng, who ranks sixth on the list, right? The Yan family is a big clan, and now they are meeting on a narrow road?" However, on the roofs of the two buildings opposite, there were two figures standing facing each other, both with solemn demeanors. "Third and sixth on the list?" Li Chenxi also immediately stuck his head out of the carriage to take a look. The man holding the knife standing on the roof was dignified and said calmly, "Miss Yan, you and I have no hatred in the past and no grudges in the present. There is no need to challenge me for these false reputations. If you get hurt, it will be disadvantageous for the upcoming event!" A woman opposite was holding a long whip that shone with spiritual light. Her black hair was tied up with a jacquard wooden hairpin. Her face was as beautiful as jade and her eyes were as clear as spring water. She snorted and said, "Wan Baoyi, if you want to hit me, just hit me. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If the first and second place on the list were not here, and only you, the third place, were here, this girl would not have chosen you. I challenge you now. If you win, I will go find that lecherous demon Ling Yinyu and castrate him!" The woman's aggressive words immediately caused an uproar among many people. "What are you all yelling about? Be quiet!" The woman suddenly shouted, and a powerful divine pressure instantly spread throughout the street. Suddenly the streets were quiet, silent and the atmosphere was depressing. Miao Daqi looked solemn, "The whip in this woman's hand is probably the Yan family's innate divine weapon, the soul-beating whip. I didn't expect the Yan family to give this divine weapon to Yan Xuefeng. No wonder she is so confident now." "The Yan family has taken out the Soul Beating Whip. It seems that they are planning to let Yan Xuefeng win many benefits in this event. They may also want to make a name for themselves for the Yan family." Across the street, in a restaurant, a young gentleman smiled faintly. He was dressed in a crescent-white shirt, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. He spoke and laughed calmly, as if he was just like the one on the famous list.
Opposite him, there stood a woman of extraordinary beauty, with a straight and small nose, black and bright eyes, and red and attractive lips that were very attractive. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Although Yan Xuefeng's strength is good, her character is much worse than Wan Baoyi's. Even if she has the advantage of a magic weapon, she may not be able to defeat Wan Baoyi." She turned her beautiful eyes and looked at the young master and said, "Now that all the heroes and celebrities have gathered here, Your Highness, are you still unwilling to stand out and become famous? If you make a move, I really can't think of anyone who can be your opponent. Even Chu Ge, who is currently the most popular number one on the list, is only relying on his magic weapon. In terms of strength, he is far inferior to you, Your Highness. After all, you are..." The young man interrupted with a smile, "Fu Xiao, I've said before, I never believe in the so-called child of destiny. What’s more, I am just a woman. In the past, whether it was the Yun Dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no dynasty ruled by women. The fact that your Tianming Sect allowed you to find me is also because your Tianming Compass has some capabilities. But according to what you said, there are so many children of destiny, but it may not be me, and I am not interested in this either." The woman called Fu Xiao pouted in frustration, "Your Highness, you are so low-key. If you were as high-profile as your father, you would have been famous all over the world long ago!" When his father was mentioned, the young man, who was obviously a woman disguised as a man, changed his expression slightly and the smile on his face faded. She moved her gaze towards the two people who were already fighting opposite her, but her eyes seemed to drift away with her thoughts, and said. "It is precisely because my father is so great that I have no intention of pursuing these powers. I only want to follow the supreme martial arts." Fu Xiao said faintly, "You will no longer be able to hide yourself when you enter this grand event. You will definitely become famous all over the world." The young man dressed as a man smiled and said, "It's just to enter the devil's cave and take one or two suitable weapons. After all, my father left me only a set of skills, nothing else." "The Heavenly Abyss Demon Cave has been opened, leading directly to the remains of the past before the Yuan force disappeared. This is a grand event. The Saint Daughter of our sect has also arrived in person. She is holding a compass, and perhaps she will find other children of destiny at the event." Fu Xiao thought about it, her eyes rolling as she said, "I wonder if Chu Ge, who is ranked first on the list, will come. He is suspected to be a rising star in the north, the Son of Heaven in the north among the four sons of destiny." "Lord of Longyuan City. North" The young man groaned, then shook his head, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all. In Longyuan City, Chu Ge practiced hard for a long time and finally waited for Cong Hongmo and Gu Jin to return safely from Snake Valley. As the two men said, they did not encounter much danger in the Snake Valley, and they easily obtained the property stored in the Snake Manor from the Snake Valley. However, this old snake was insidious enough, and had poisoned many properties with deadly blood poison. Gu Jin was cautious and ruthless enough. He captured all the disciples of Snake Manor and tested the poison on them. After poisoning several people to death, he finally cracked the blood poison and took the property. But when he was leaving, he was sniped by a master who also had plans for Snake Valley. The updated list of names by Tianming Sect caused the news of Chu Ge killing She Zhuang to spread throughout the world at an unexpected speed. This unexpected change almost caused the deaths of Cong Hongmo and Gu Jin. The two men fought and retreated, hiding and evading, not daring to take the main road. They took many detours and it took them a long time to return to Longyuan City. "A total of more than 220 force crystals and two martial arts manuals. Very good, very good! You two have worked hard." After Chu Ge checked the spoils handed in by the two, he nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he separated out twenty of the special power crystals and two secret books and pushed them in front of Cong Hongmo and Gu Jin.
"City Lord, what are you doing?" Cong Hongmo and Gu Jin were both surprised. "This is what you deserve. After all, you risked your lives to bring it back." Chu Ge smiled calmly, pointed at the "Poison Swallowing and Poison Transmutation Technique" and "Ten Thousand Poisons Evaluation" on the table, and said to Gu Jin, "This is the poison technique that Snake Manor simplified based on the "Ten Thousand Snakes Blood Poison Technique". You can combine it with the "Ten Thousand Poisons Evaluation" and try to practice the theories in it. If you can break through the Condensation Realm in the future, you can officially practice this technique." Gu Jin has middle-to-lower-level spiritual talent. Compared with many talented young men in the city, his talent is certainly not good. Even whether he can break through the Condensation Realm in the future depends entirely on luck. But at least there is still hope, which is much better than having inferior spiritual qualifications. "After all, City Lord Shezhuang died at your hands, so his wealth should belong to you." Cong Hongmo looked at the twenty pieces of strange power crystals on the table and met Chu Ge's unquestionable gaze. He could only express gratitude and thanks. "Thank you for the reward, City Lord." Chu Ge nodded and said, "Reward according to merit. Hong Mo, you have a superior spiritual talent, and I have high hopes for you. With the help of these force crystals, if you practice diligently, you should be able to break through to the middle stage of the Condensation Realm by the middle of this year." "Yes!" Cong Hongmo responded solemnly, "Hongmo will live up to the city lord's high expectations!" "Go." Chu Ge waved his hand and sent the two away. Then he looked at the two hundred strange power crystals placed on the table. Plus the thirty pieces of special power crystals previously obtained from the Snake Manor. This is equivalent to Snake Manor contributing 250 pieces of alien power crystals to him. However, twenty of them were rewarded to Cong Hongmo, and the remaining thirty, together with the twenty force crystals he had saved, were given to Dugu Mingxin, asking him to follow Miao Daqi to help him purchase supplies for the Zhanzhou event. Now, he only has these two hundred special power crystals available to transform into special powers. In the past half month, he had consumed more than three thousand strands of supernatural powers just by practicing and researching the left-handed props. Now, there are only more than 23,000 strands of strange power left in the Dragon Bell. The reason for this was that he had accelerated the refining of the Snake Belly Black Scale Fork and the Snake Manor's corpse, which resulted in the consumption of more than 16,000 strands of strange power. "With the Yellow Turban Sect as a cooperative channel, we now have a source of supernatural power. Of these two hundred supernatural power crystals, we will convert one hundred first and keep one hundred for backup." Chu Ge made up his mind and stroked the table with his palm. In an instant, half of the strange power crystals were directly sacrificed into the dragon bell and transformed into strange power. The dragon bell flashed, and the strange power in the heart of the bell suddenly turned into thirty-five thousand strands. The remaining one hundred alien power crystals, plus the ten or so alien power crystals he still has in his hands. Chu Ge planned to keep it for future trading of supplies. When the strange power stored in the Dragon Bell is almost completely consumed, he will use the spare strange power crystals to replenish it. Now more than half a month has passed, and when he has not been practicing, he will try to study and create a new left-handed magic skill "Xuanwu Shenggong".
Originally, the results were minimal. However, as he inherited and mastered the "Ten Thousand Snakes Blood Poison Art", combined with the many experiences of this spiritual art related to "snakes", Chu Ge also had a flash of inspiration, and gradually created the first half of the "Xuanwu Holy Art". He had a hunch that if he could create the complete "Xuanwu Holy Art", perhaps within a month, his strength level would be able to break through to the eighth level of the Condensation Realm. Even the combination of "Xuanwu Holy Power" and "White Tiger Holy Power" to form Xuanwu and White Tiger Holy Power may collide to produce incredible power. Jiangcheng Prefecture. After more than a month of reconstruction, the original site of Zhenxiesi is no longer Fucheng Town Xiesi, but Huangtianfu. The huge Huangtian Mansion has more than a hundred houses of various sizes within the high walls, connected by corridors and garden patios. Apart from the three towering main hall lobbies in the front yard, the other buildings are like a huge maze with intricate corridors and numerous visible and hidden sentries. At this moment, in the lobby of one of the main houses, the majestic and imposing leader of the Yellow Turbans, Gongye Zhengtai, sat on the first seat, listening to the reports from the people below. Deputy Sect Leader Ji Shichang sat to his left, squinting his eyes as he browsed the intelligence paper in his hand. After the others finished their reports, Gongye Zhengtai said in a deep voice, "In your opinion, has the Lord of Longyuan City secretly joined the army of King Zhenye?" Several people looked at each other and then looked at Ji Shichang. "I don't think so." Ji Shichang shook his head, put down the paper in his hand, looked up and added, "The last time Wen Shiyong showed up, he went straight to see the Hidden Water Goddess. Coincidentally, at that time, the Snake Manor attacked the Lord of Longyuan City on Longyuan Mountain. It is hard not to connect the two of them. After all, Snake Manor had helped Shen Yinggao before, so it was normal for it to join forces with Wen Shiyong to deal with the Lord of Longyuan City. The Lord of Longyuan City is not a fool. If he cannot defeat Shezhuang, he will surely die at their hands. Naturally, he knows that Wen Shiyong has no good intentions in visiting the nun at this critical moment. Therefore, even if he agreed to something from Wen Shiyong, it should only be a temporary compromise, not a real intention to join the King of Zhenye. This information is just a plot to sow discord and should not be taken seriously!" As he spoke, he shattered the paper in his hand. Gongye Zhengtai nodded slightly. Ji Shichang is one of the senior executives of the Ji family and also his right-hand man. Since Ji Shichang said so, he did not intend to pursue the matter. "Did the batch of spiritual poison provided to us by the Lord of Longyuan City go through the transaction on time and in the right quantity? Have our poison masters come up with any results?" "It's all been traded. To show his sincerity, he gave me an extra ten grams." Ji Shichang said, "The final payment of fifty force crystals for the first batch of transactions will be sent to Longyuan City tomorrow. As for the method of making this spiritual poison..." Ji Shichang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Our poison masters have not been able to come up with any results, and several of them have even been poisoned as a result." "A bunch of rubbish, specializing in poison, but not as good as the Lord of Longyuan City who only practices it as a side job. This person is really talented." Gongye Zhengtai frowned and snorted coldly, then suddenly changed the subject and spoke slowly in a deep voice. "I received confidential information from the Imperial Palace."
The people sitting below all changed color slightly when they heard this. "Oh?" Ji Shichang was surprised and asked tentatively, "Is it related to the Lord of Longyuan City?" Gongye Zhengtai's eyes flashed, and he said, "Yes. This information may be related to his life, and it is worth a lot of money. If he can trade the secret recipe for making poison..." Ji Shichang heard the music and understood the elegant meaning, and looked at the people below. Several people immediately stood up and tactfully left the lobby. Ji Shichang then frowned and said, "This kind of threatening message may cause misunderstanding. Given his personality, he may not be willing to trade the secret recipe." He naturally knew the preciousness of the secret recipe. Considering the transaction price of spore mycelium poison, in the long run, the amount of alien force crystals required would be too much. If you can control the secret recipe in your own hands, you can not only save a lot of money, but you can even make money from it. Gongye Zhengtai said in a deep voice, "It all depends on human effort. If he is unwilling to trade the secret recipe, he must at least offer more and cheaper spiritual poisons, and then we can reveal this news to him. If there is enough of this spiritual poison, it will be of great use to our future plans." Ji Shichang nodded slightly, "I will go and communicate. What exactly is the information you are talking about?" "Your Highness, please mobilize the Taibao's closed disciple Guan Zizai to attack the Lord of Longyuan City and the demon of the Six Desires Demon Sect, Ling Yinyu. Now Guan Zizai must have already left for Zhanzhou, and Ling Yinyu will become a ghost under his sword." Gongye Zhengtai paused, and looked at Ji Shichang with a sharp gaze, "Longyuan City Lord is really a smart man. He didn't attend this event, and he can get some breathing time and opportunities for the time being, but if he didn't know this information." Ji Shichang nodded solemnly, realizing the seriousness of the matter. Guan Zizai's strength was fully inherited from the Great Zhou's Grand Guardian Gui Yihong. He was extremely low-key and was not dispatched by the royal family. It is only because the prince has shown kindness to him that he is willing to work for him. He asked himself if he were to face Guan Zizai's sword, he would definitely not be a match. If Guan Zizai, in addition to carrying the powerful Guan Dao, also possessed a more powerful divine weapon, not to mention Ling Yinyu, even the Lord of Longyuan City might be doomed.
