Chapter 188 Return to Wudu
Chapter 188 Return to Wudu
When the "Peak of the Sky" slammed into the Great Emperor's thinking area, Xia Zhongnan realized that there was a shield like a mysterious metal ring protecting him in the Great Emperor's sea of consciousness.
However, the "Peak of the Sky" in Xia Zhongnan's hand was blessed by the power of another world and was extremely powerful. The metal ring trembled under the fierce impact and then shattered into nothingness.
As the "metal ring" broke, the Great Emperor's mind field lost its barrier and was ruthlessly squeezed by the "Peak of the Sky", causing him to lose his combat ability in an instant.
How could Tu Shan Fang'er, who was originally at a disadvantage, miss this opportunity? Her two swords pierced into the Great Emperor's body like lightning, and blood gushed out of the wounds like a fountain.
In severe pain, the Great Emperor wanted to fight back with his halberd, but Tu Shan Fang'er's knife flashed, and his arms were cut off at the root, and the Heaven-shaking Halberd fell to the dust.
Tu Shan Fang'er was merciless. She raised her blade again and cut off the great emperor's head, leaving him no chance of counterattack. She was truly ruthless.
The great emperor still had countless grand plans in his mind, but they came to an abrupt end at this moment. He fell silently in this mysterious valley.
Wu Chengjie was stunned, unable to believe that what he saw was real. Just now he had begged his father to spare Tu Shanfang'er's life, but now the Great Emperor's head had been chopped off by Tu Shanfang'er and fell to the ground.
Tu Shan Fang'er was also somewhat stunned after winning. She didn't understand why the Great Emperor suddenly stopped in the fierce battle, as if he had encountered an indescribable disaster.
Seeing the great emperor die, Qinglong, Huang Cheng and other guards hid in the dark again and kept alert to their surroundings.
Wu Chengjie finally came to his senses and shouted angrily: "Who are you and why did you kill my father?"
Xia Zhongnan glanced at him with contempt and disdained to respond. The Great Emperor was dead, and the young man was no longer useful. He gestured to Tu Shanfang'er to cut his throat, suggesting that she should deal with Wu Chengjie.
Wu Chengjie was extremely frightened when he saw Tu Shan Fang'er approaching with an expressionless face. In his eyes, Tu Shan Fang'er was no longer a beautiful woman, but a devilish female warrior!
Tu Shan Fang'er walked up to Wu Chengjie and sneered, "Humph, a coward like you dared to covet Sister Xu Qian, and now your father is buried here too!"
Wu Chengjie collapsed and roared: "Are you Xu Qian's people? How could she have such a powerful helper?"
Tu Shan Fang'er laughed even more sarcastically: "If the Wu Kingdom falls apart because of you, I wonder if your father will regret giving birth to a prodigal son like you!"
After she finished speaking, she swung her knife and Wu Chengjie's head was chopped off.
As for why they had such an ending, Wu Chengjie and his son, the Great Emperor, never knew.
Xia Zhongnan approached the remains of the Great Emperor, took off his storage ring and threw it into the other world, then picked up the "Heaven Shaking Halberd" and examined it carefully. The Great Emperor broke his black iron spear with just one strike and knocked him back more than 20 meters, which made Xia Zhongnan full of curiosity about the "Heaven Shaking Halberd"...
A voice sounded beside my ears: "This is the 'Breaking Sky Halberd', a divine weapon. No matter what the wielder's cultivation level is, it can enhance their attack power."
It was Bai Ze who spoke.
Xia Zhongnan responded: "Can weapons actually have the ability to increase their power?"
Bai Ze explained: "The cultivation world is divided into realms, and so are weapons. The spear you used before was only made of black iron and was called a 'magic weapon', but this 'Sky Breaking Halberd' has reached the realm of a 'divine weapon'."
Xia Zhongnan asked: "What is the difference between the two?"
Bai Ze said: "The difference comes from the material and casting process. Why are the bodies of alien beasts regarded as treasures in the eyes of you humans? Because weapons are integrated with the remains of alien beasts, not only are they stronger, but they can also inherit some of the alien beasts' instincts. Such weapons are called 'divine weapons'."
Bai Ze sighed again: "This 'Breaking Sky Halberd' contains the essence of the 'Breaking Sky Beast', so it is incredibly powerful. For every 'divine weapon' in the world, one alien beast dies. The more 'divine weapons' there are, the more alien beasts will die."
Xia Zhongnan also sighed and sent the "Breaking Sky Halberd" into the foreign land. Although he felt sorry, he did not feel sorry for the foreign beasts. This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Even humans kill each other, so how can we treat foreign beasts?
Moreover, the alien beasts are strong and will inevitably squeeze the living space of humans. There is no need to feel too much. In his heart, whether it is human or alien beast, those who are close to him will be protected. On the contrary, no matter what race, those who dare to hurt him and his relatives and friends are all enemies.
Tu Shanfang'er dealt with the remains of Da Huangzi and Wu Chengjie, while Bai Ze stared at Xia Zhongnan: "Do you know a secret technique for mental attack?"
Xia Zhongnan was shocked. He realized that although he did not leave any traces when attacking Da Huangzi, Bai Ze still saw some clues. So he asked back: "Secret technique of mental attack? What is the secret technique of mental attack?"
Bai Ze said: "The means of attack are ever-changing, but they are nothing more than targeting two levels, one is the body, and the other is the spirit, that is, the spiritual consciousness or the soul of the cultivator. Physical attacks are not mentioned, and spiritual attacks are rarely seen, so they are called 'secret techniques'.
This kind of "secret technique" is rare and hard to find, and even if you can get it, it is difficult for ordinary people to practice it successfully.
You confronted the Guixu cultivator head-on with the Spiritualization Realm, and you were able to attack his spiritual consciousness with secret techniques. At the same time, you were proficient in advanced formations. It is hard to imagine how you obtained such a powerful inheritance in the world of cultivation!"
Xia Zhongnan retorted: "We are discussing the secrets of mental attack, why are you digressing? If I say that I have never received any inheritance and have no master, you will definitely not believe it, but this is the fact, whether you believe it or not, it cannot change it..."
After defeating the giant dragon Herman, everything is not over, but the beginning of a new chapter. However, rumors have already spread, and the subsequent challenges will only become more difficult. I need to go to the ancient city of Wudu, so you should continue to be vigilant and guard here! "
He returned to the ancient city of Wudu with Tushan Fang'er and hid in the secret stronghold of Wentian Palace.
Tu Shan Fang Er took the "Thousand Illusion Blue Lotus" and after being promoted to the third level, she gained more control over herself. Not only is her cultivation unfathomable, but she can also transform into different forms at any time and anywhere, and move among people like a fish in water. Thanks to Xia Zhongnan's careful guidance, she has become a top spy expert.
For several consecutive days, Tu Shanfang'er wandered around Wudu City, paying close attention to the subtle changes in the city.
On the fourth day, she returned and reported: "It's peaceful outside the city, but the city is under strict security. There are many secret guards in the streets and alleys, and there are a large number of guards lurking around each prince's mansion, especially the second and fourth prince's mansions, which are under heavy surveillance. I heard that the second and fourth princes were summoned to the palace by the king yesterday for questioning, but were later released."
Xia Zhongnan asked: "What about the Xu Mansion's courtyard? What's the situation there?"
Tu Shan Fang'er replied, "The Xu Mansion's courtyard is also under surveillance by guards. Sister Xu Qian has been taken back to the courtyard by Xu Dejing and is locked up. Brother, do you want to go see Sister Xu Qian?"
Xia Zhongnan said: "The situation is tense at the moment. As long as she is safe, don't take any risks."
He believed that the Xu family would not become the main suspect because they did not have that kind of strength, but they still needed to act with caution.
In the imperial palace, King Wu Longhai was lost in deep thought.
After receiving the report from the Grand Prince's Palace, he patrolled the city of Wu and the surrounding vast area, searching for clues about Wu Huaizu's disappearance.
Although it took two days, no trace was found. It was as if Wu Huaizu and Wu Chengjie had evaporated into thin air.
Qiyun Mountain was his main search area, but he had little knowledge of formations. Bai Ze's attainments in formations improved rapidly during his return from the Immortal Palace ruins, and he had already entered the realm of a master. How could Wu Longhai easily break the hidden formation he had laid?
Therefore, he failed to detect the ten strange beasts hidden in Mount Qiyun.
Wu Longhai thought to himself: "The one who quietly took Wu Chengjie away from the Grand Prince's Mansion, led Wu Huaizu out and disappeared without a trace, could it be the work of a Hedao cultivator? Did the Western Temple attack my Wu Kingdom? What is the purpose of taking my grandson away?"
He was puzzled and summoned Wu Huaizheng and Wu Huaiyuan for questioning, just to understand the situation. After just a few questions, he realized that the two had nothing to do with Wu Huaizu's disappearance, so he let them go back.
To him, the trivial matter of three brothers simultaneously proposing to the governor of a state for their sons was not worth paying attention to at all.
Although the guards were closely monitoring Wudu City, he did not have high hopes for this. How could someone who could do such a thing reveal his flaws in front of the guards?
This incident made the king very upset...
It has been nearly a hundred years since he embarked on the mysterious path of Hedao and took over the ruling power of the fantasy kingdom of Wu from the previous king. This is the first time he has encountered such a difficult dilemma.
Amidst such unexpected events, both the common people at the bottom of the kingdom and high-ranking officials could sense the calm before the storm, and those at the heart of power who knew the inside story were all deeply worried.
How can they have the confidence to resist a disaster that even the mighty Yellow Emperor could not resist?
Xu Dejing walked into Xu Qian's residence, where Xu Qin was also. After Xu Dejing learned that Wu Chengjie was kidnapped by dark forces, he sent someone to bring them back. Seeing that Xu Qian was in a low mood, her sister stayed to accompany her.
Xu Qin asked: "Father, have the Yellow Emperors come up with a plan to take us back?"
She originally thought that they were recalled because the situation had become a foregone conclusion and there was no need to hide from Wu Chengjie anymore, so they were allowed to return to the Xu family villa.
Xu Dejing replied: "Recently, Wudu has encountered a major change. The crown prince Wu Chengjie was abducted by the dark forces, and even the Great Yellow Emperor disappeared. People are in turmoil. Who would care about such trivial matters?"
After these words came out, the sisters Xu Qin and Xu Qian both looked at him with wide eyes.
Xu Qin said: "How is it possible? This is Wudu. Who dares to attack Wu Chengjie under the nose of the king? Isn't this a blatant provocation?"
After being shocked, Xu Qian's eyes began to show a hint of uncertainty.
She immediately thought whether it was Xia Zhongnan who did it.
She still remembered the oath Xia Zhongnan made before he left when they met last time: "Qian'er, have you forgotten the hardships we went through together? There is always a way out, no matter how big the predicament is, there is a solution. Believe me, I will overcome any difficulty, you just need to wait for my news!"
