Destiny is ashes

Chapter 375: Loyalty is Unspeakable (23)

Without any words, Jin Yanhua knew what his father meant.

"Additional investment?" She chuckled, but then said solemnly: "But father, you also know... if this book falls into my hands, its direction will not be decided by you!"

【You can pass it to whomever you want】

However, Shiqin's mind was dim and he didn't care at all: [Our Ancestral Dragon Palace is the source of the true spirit martial arts of the thousands of dragon clans in the ten continents of Huaixu. More than half of the martial arts miracles are related to our true spirit bloodline, and the remaining small half is also the sea of ​​spirit and energy. All living beings are the same.]

[If you want to spread the word that all living things can become dragons... If not, why would we create the 'Ancestor Dragon Hall'? ]

When the Dragon King and his daughter are communicating.

You Ruhui has stabilized his Zhenwu spine and entered the realm of inner strength.

As soon as his state of mind was stabilized, You Ruhui contacted An Jing as quickly as possible.

"An Jing...how on earth did you do it?!"

The voice was transmitted, and An Jing's answer was also quick and clear: [Dachen withdrew the magic weapon, the earth veins were ownerless, and with the help of a strange array, an ownerless dragon energy was derived...]

As the strength of both sides increased, the connection of the Emperor's Blood became closer. An Jing briefly recounted his experiences and actions in Linjiang City, which made You Ruhui deeply moved.

——Sure enough, he would take action once he saw something, and this would probably never change.

[Thank you for your hard work, Anjing... You really helped me a lot! ]

In Linjiang City, An Jing also sensed You Ruhui's breath breakthrough, and knew that the dragon energy he transmitted to her was of great help to her, so he smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Killing a few playboys and losers actually brought me such a gain. Being able to help you is also a help to me."

"Let's put it another way. Without your magical power, I would never be able to kill the Western Patrol Envoy in Kanming City."

[Yes, indeed... If it were me now, I wouldn't have nearly fainted in order to bless you with my magical powers.]

You Ruhui's aura is much stronger than before the breakthrough, because she originally had two magical powers, but they came from her bloodline and could not be activated to convert into combat power. Now she has a third magical power which is also the emperor's blood. After being nourished by the dragon's energy, it has completely become a part of her own power.

In this way, it won’t take long before You Ruhui, who has stabilized his realm, will be able to possess the strength of a mid-level inner strong man.

With such a background, she could help An Jing with the ability to burrow into the ground remotely. At most, he would lose strength for a while, but he would not be injured or fall into a coma.

"Speaking of this... Ruhui, I don't quite understand your dragon energy array. Can you understand why this civil and military array can transform into ownerless dragon energy?"

Time is precious, and the exchange of Emperor Blood also consumes time, so An Jing did not waste words and asked briefly. After You Ruhui received the message sent by An Jing, he fell into deep thought: [Hmm... Civil and Martial Formation Plate? I have indeed seen the Civil and Martial Formation derived from the Three Supreme Formations...]

[Strange thing, why is there no Xuantian Emperor Seal? Without Xuantian Emperor Seal, how can they unify the heaven, sea and earth veins? But if there is, this dragon energy cannot be without a master...]

[Let me think about it…]

An Jing was naturally willing to wait, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Bai Qinghan was slowly walking towards him.

“How is it, Senior Brother?” Bai Qinghan glanced at Mo Li’s body as she passed by it, and obviously saw that Mo Li had True Spirit Dragon Blood. She shook her head slightly, then stood beside An Jing and stared at the Civil and Martial Arts Formation Plate with An Jing: “Is this what Dachen did in Linjiang City?”

"Not sure."

After thinking for a while, An Jing's brows relaxed and he laughed: "But I think this has nothing to do with the imperial court, but the actions of 'the people below'."

"Look, there are civil and military formation plates, but there is no 'Emperor's Seal'... All the divine weapons controlled by the imperial court were taken away, and the civil and military officials appointed by the imperial court were evacuated. In this ownerless Linjiang City, there is a Chamber of Commerce that, with the greedy momentum of swallowing up the entire city, quietly hid these two formation plates that can replace the divine weapons and purify the earth's energy."

An Jing did not mention anything related to dragon energy. Although Bai Qinghan could be trusted, keeping secrets like this was a way to protect her, so An Jing only expressed his most superficial guess: "Don't you think this is a bit, treasonous?"

"Um……"

Bai Qinghan was thoughtful. She looked at the array: "If you put it that way... it's as if someone took advantage of the Chamber of Commerce's contraction and used their power to sell off the Chamber of Commerce's assets at a low price, and then embezzled them privately..."

"That's it."

An Jing nodded slightly: "The Dachen Imperial Court has withdrawn its divine weapons to protect the main land vein. This is a conservative move and there is nothing wrong with it...but the land vein itself is still a high-quality asset. Although no one is managing it for the time being, Dachen will definitely reclaim it in the future."

"It's a waste to leave it alone. Since Dachen doesn't care about it now, naturally someone will want to come and take a bite... Look at these two array plates. If they can be tempered here for a few years, I'm afraid they will really become the material of divine weapons. They will have an extra layer of heritage for no reason."

——Not to mention that a lot of ownerless dragon energy can be accumulated in the past few years... If the similar situation in the Northern Frontier is not limited to Linjiang City, then in the past few years when Dachen was shrinking, the amount of dragon energy accumulated by the people below, although not much, is definitely not small!
Are there officials who want to collect dragon energy without telling the imperial court? After analyzing this result, even An Jing, the Seven Evils, wanted to sigh, "What a traitor, much more powerful than me now!"

At this moment, in An Jing's sea of ​​consciousness, You Ruhui's surprised voice echoed: [I understand! ]

[An Jing, look at this array...]

You Ruhui didn't know that there were other people beside An Jing, so he began to explain to An Jing in detail the construction and principles of the formation - in short, it was the same as An Jing had guessed.

A civil or military official who is granted the ordination system can, with the authorization of the imperial court, control the great array of divine weapons and earth veins and intimidate one side.

However, this power ultimately belongs to the Imperial Court, whether it is the energy of the earth veins, the energy of the sky and the sea, or the dragon energy, all of them belong to the Imperial Court. Officials can mobilize them because of the permission of the Imperial Court, not because of their own efforts.

Even if civil and military officials have cultivated their own powers, since their powers are rooted in the ordination certificates, when the official certificates are separated, the powers they have cultivated themselves will return to the imperial court and become the power of the imperial court.

There should be nothing wrong with this, as it was the way things were in the Dachen Dynasty - the vast majority of officials who were ordained were ordinary people without destiny, and the reason they were able to possess such divine power was all because of the grace of the imperial court. Such a great favor could never be repaid, let alone the ownership of a mere power.

But now it seems obvious that some officials do not think so, and their loyalty cannot be denied.

There is definitely more than one General Longwu behind the Linlang Chamber of Commerce. There must be other high-ranking civil officials as well. This is a combination of both civil and military officials, taking advantage of the Dachen Imperial Court's voluntary withdrawal to bypass their authority and directly seek the dragon energy.

As for what they can do after obtaining the dragon energy, You Ruhui cannot guess...but You Ruhui pointed out a possibility.

[If there are officials who completely replace the dragon energy talismans in their bodies that belong to the imperial court with ownerless dragon energy, then in theory, they are a loophole in the Dachen Empire, an independent person who is completely not under the jurisdiction of Dachen, but can use various techniques and powers within the system! ]

[Even if the imperial court later removes his authority, this independent person can still use this power freely without being restricted by the imperial court! ]
