Chapter 132 An unexpected person
"Brother, how do you feel?"

Zhang Rui had been gone for some time, but Qing Yunzi still looked confused. If it weren't for the fact that Qing Yunzi seemed to be fine, they would have suspected that the man surnamed Zhang had cast some kind of spell on him.

“He can actually do it.”

Qing Yunzi closed his eyes and felt his body.

Ever since the evil spirit was born, he has been carrying a heavy feeling, as if something was lying on his back, making it hard for him to breathe. The key point is that this kind of thing has been going on all the time.

When eating, going to the toilet, or even sleeping, there is no time to relax. He doesn't know how he has managed to get through all these years.

At this moment, after Mr. Zhang slashed with the knife, the unprecedented feeling of relief made him wonder if he was dreaming.

"Senior Brother?" Ling Yunzi called out again cautiously.

"I'm fine." Qing Yunzi took a breath and enjoyed this rare relaxation. His breathing was so smooth at this moment. What he wanted to do most now was to find a place and have a good and relaxing sleep. He hadn't had a good sleep in eight years.

"What did Lord Zhang do just now?" Ling Yunzi asked curiously.

"I don't know." Qing Yunzi still closed his eyes, enjoying this rare comfort: "I just feel very relaxed and comfortable. I don't know what method he used. I feel that the things in my body are still there, but it seems to be completely different from before."

"Can he really do it?" Ling Yunzi looked incredulous.

There is an existence who can eradicate the evil spirits at the master level. If the news gets out, I am afraid that the whole martial arts world will be in turmoil.

"Let's take a look first." Qing Yunzi opened his eyes and said, "At least he has proved that he has some means, and it is worth our waiting."

"Since senior brother said it's worth it, then let's wait a moment." Ling Yunzi nodded with a smile.

Senior brother has endured too much over the years. Although I don’t know what that man surnamed Zhang has done, even if it can just let senior brother relax for a while, it won’t be a wasted trip.

"Master Zhang, what did you just do?"

Hong Lie, who was following Zhang Rui, asked curiously.

"I cut off a part of the evil spirit from the senior's body." Zhang Rui said honestly.

"Cut off a part?" Hong Lie's eyes almost popped out.

This was said as casually as cutting a ball of steamed cake.

Zhang Rui didn't say much. The other party should have felt it very clearly because what he cut off was the evil spirit itself.

Tian Cong Blade was lucky this time and got such a good knife from the Thousand Machine Box. It was different from the previous Thousand Machine Blade. It could also cut evil spirits, but it did not completely separate them. If it was the previous Thousand Machine Blade, it had to capture the evil spirits before it could do so. This time was different. This time the knife could directly divide the evil spirits into several pieces.

It is just a simple splitting of the volume, which can divide the evil spirit into two or three. If it is cut carefully, it can be divided into ten. The finer the cut, the better the material. It is the best and most useful knife in the Qianji Box.

Because it is different from other blades, there is no need to fix the evil spirits on top of the Thousand Machine Box to operate it. It can be used anywhere and in any scene. In other words, if a top swordsman holds this blade, as long as he operates it properly, he can even cut the evil spirits at the four spirits level into countless pieces.

Zhang Rui touched the Thousand Machine Box. Before this parasitic evil broke out, he was like a lamb to be slaughtered. After learning about the Grandmaster's predicament, Zhang Rui knew that he had the capital to cooperate with any top sect or force.

But you have to be very careful with this card.

If the fact that he could eradicate the evil spirit of the Grandmaster were to be easily exposed, before he had sufficient strength and background, it would definitely not be a good thing. The aristocratic families would try every means to get rid of him, and the martial arts sects would try every means to control him. If he wanted to achieve the effect of the deal, he had to make them realize that he could not move.

"In a short period of time, senior's physical condition will be much better." Zhang Rui whispered.

He just cut off at least two-thirds of it, so the effect should be very obvious.

"Thank you, sir." Hong Lie said with gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

As a warrior, he could feel how bad his master's condition was. His breathing was much heavier than that of his other uncles. He knew very well what it felt like to have evil spirits entangled in his body. His master bore the responsibility of being a master, and the pain he was feeling was definitely many times greater than what he had felt back then.

Zhang Rui felt that being able to lighten his master's burden was a great favor.

"You are too polite, Commander-in-Chief. This is what I should do."

Hong Lie was not polite when he heard this, and asked directly: "Master Zhang, what do you want me to do now?"

"That depends on what the Qi family wants to do." Zhang Rui looked towards the altar.

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already arranged the altar in an orderly manner, and Minister Qi was already standing on the altar, ready to activate the barrier at any time. Once the barrier was established, the prince's ascension to the throne could not be stopped unless someone directly prevented the prince from entering the barrier from the outside.

But if the prince was kidnapped outside, what reason could be used?

Hong Lie looked at Zhang Rui. It was impossible for him to rob just like that, right?
"What the Qi family should do now is to ensure that the crown prince ascends the throne successfully, right?" Hong Lie frowned and asked. "More than that." Zhang Rui shook his head: "If the Qi family only supports an obedient monster to take office, it will be discovered sooner or later. Once everyone knows that the new emperor is an evil spirit, the Qi family will become the world's biggest enemy."

"Can he do it more secretly?" Hong Lie asked in a low voice.

"Impossible." Zhang Rui shook his head. "The An family paid such a price. It's impossible that it was just to help the Qi family get to the top, right? An Lusheng is not a fool. In order to prevent the Qi family from destroying the bridge after crossing the river, the An family must have some leverage or backup plan. But the problem is that the An family plotted against the emperor in public. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne, it is impossible for him, An Lusheng, to be released, and the An family will have no chance to rise."

"That seems to be the case." Hong Lie touched his chin and asked in confusion: "If that's the case, what does the An family want?"

"The most likely scenario is that the Qi family will make another big move next." Zhang Rui judged.

"What bigger move could there be?" Hong Lie looked gloomily at Minister Qi in the distance.

They have even done such crazy things as replacing the king and stealing the sky, yet they are still taking action?
"I don't know yet." Zhang Rui shook his head. "If it's just to replace the king and keep a low profile for the Qi family, just to preserve the Qi family's position in the capital, it always feels too simple. I always feel that Minister Qi may be crazier than we think."

"Then what should we do?" Hong Lie asked curiously.

"Let him ascend the throne."

"Huh?" Hong Lie was stunned: "Master Zhang means to do nothing?"

"There's nothing we can do now." Zhang Rui whispered, "We can't prove that the prince is fake. If we act rashly, we'll be charged with treason. Now there's nothing we can do except wait for him to reveal himself."

“Isn’t this a bit too passive?”

"They spent so much effort and set up such a big plan. Isn't it normal for us who are unaware to be passive?"

Hong Lie: “.”

"Leqi!"

Before Hong Lie could say anything else, the voice of Minister Qi on the altar became as deafening as a huge bell.

"All officials bow!" Old Qi took the lead in kneeling. Ten feet in the air, a huge figure looked down at everyone. A transparent barrier visible to the naked eye quickly spread out with Minister Qi as the center, covering a distance of nearly a hundred feet. The entire sacrificial platform was instantly blocked by the barrier.

"Bow!" Under the deep voice of Minister Qi, all the civil and military officials knelt down almost subconsciously in rhythm with him.

It was solemn and dignified. Everyone inside the barrier felt extremely wonderful, including Zhang Rui himself. Although he knew very little about etiquette, his body felt as if someone was teaching him step by step. His body was like a puppet, following the crowd and continuing to salute to the music.

Hong Lie felt uncomfortable all over while being in it.

It was also the first time that he witnessed the power of the Yin God of the Ministry of Rites. No wonder a group of sorcerers could drain the marrow of all people in the world with just a Yin God.

This force is truly incredibly strong.

For the first time since he finished his studies, he felt completely powerless. Within this barrier, the Yin Spirit of the Ministry of Rites seemed to be able to do whatever it wanted to him, truly like a god.

Zhang Rui also felt uncomfortable, but he was not panicked. Before coming, he heard Shen Yuan say that the Yin God of the Ministry of Rites was within the barrier and would not obey the orders of Old Qi. Anyone who disrupted the rituals would become its enemy, including Minister Qi.

Logically speaking, Mr. Qi should not be able to use the Yin God of the Ministry of Rites to do anything to others.

If there is to be an attack, it should be after the fake prince has mastered the power of the four spirits!

"Your Highness, please come to the stage!"

Minister Qi looked towards the Suzaku Gate and shouted.

"Your Highness, please come to the stage!"

Within the barrier, almost all civil and military officials shouted out this sentence uncontrollably.

Inside the Suzaku Gate, the prince, wearing an apricot-yellow dragon robe, walked towards the stage step by step, supported by his guards.

Just as the prince was about to enter the barrier, a voice that no one expected interrupted the rhythm of the ritual music.

"Wait!!"

Everyone in the barrier looked over, but then showed surprise.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
