Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

Chapter 175: Triple Rebirth, Storm is Coming

"Prince Huai! Do you know what you are talking about!?"

Prince Li pointed at Prince Zhenbei in disbelief, unable to believe that he would say such outrageous words.

Even if it was really the emperor's order, how could he say it in front of all the officials? No matter how many untouchables died, they were still untouchables. 380,000 was just a number. How could it be compared with maintaining the dignity and wisdom of a generation of emperors?

"Uncle, it was my brother who first wanted to kill me." The King of Zhenbei pointed at the Taimiao and angrily pounded his chest. "In front of our ancestors, my brother, do you dare to swear by the emperor's destiny under the true words of Zhao Shou that the affairs of Chuzhou have nothing to do with you?"

"You!" Emperor Yuan Jing stared at Prince Zhenbei, his chest heaving violently, his expression ferocious, as if he was very angry.

"I dare not!" King Zhenbei took a step forward, his blood boiling, and boundless energy surged out, shaking the water of Sangpo Lake and making the leaves rustle.

For a moment, the civil officials lowered their heads, the military generals lowered their eyes, and the nobles did not dare to keep their gaze on Emperor Yuan Jing for a moment.

The emperor massacred the people in order to practice Taoism. This was far worse than the prince's massacre of the city, and it was beyond their ability to handle.

Not to mention the people of Chuzhou, after hearing and seeing so much, they have begun to suspect that Emperor Yuan Jing will let them die of serious illness one after another in the next few months in order to conceal the truth.

"I..." Emperor Yuan Jing spoke dryly, his body movements as stiff as a rusty machine without oil.

No one spoke, no one dared to speak.

The spies that the emperor had arranged in advance were like quails, huddled in the crowd and dared not move.

The person who broke this awkward situation was someone no one could have imagined.

Wei Yuan, he showed up.

"How dare you, Prince Huai," he sneered, pushing his way out from among the ministers and angrily shouted, "With such irrefutable evidence, you dare to speak so outrageously! Your Majesty is wise and brave, and loves the people like his own children. How could he be as foolish and violent as you say? It's clearly you, the evil villain, who is spouting nonsense and slandering Your Majesty!"

"The emperor's destiny is the foundation of the country. How can we allow a scoundrel like you, full of suspicious things, to make such a fuss? I'm afraid you have delusions about the destiny of our Dafeng country and want to take advantage of this opportunity to tamper with it!"

Wei Yuan?

The Prime Minister Wang Zhenwen, Prince Li, a group of nobles, and even the person involved, Emperor Yuan Jing, all looked at Wei Yuan as if they had seen a ghost.

Emperor Yuan Jing had already explained his own strange behavior before, but what about Wei Yuan's behavior now? What day is today? Everyone can do things that others can't expect.

"What Wei Qing said is correct." Although he still didn't know what Wei Yuan meant, it was at least fortunate that someone spoke for him. He was about to continue with Wei Yuan's words when he saw Wei Yuan turn around and bow respectfully to him, then changed the subject:
"However, if Your Majesty cannot prove his innocence, I am afraid that it will inevitably leave a grudge in the hearts of the princes and ministers. If you can slaughter the people for immortality today, wouldn't you be able to butcher your colleagues and nobles tomorrow for the same reason?

If this continues, the ruler and his subjects will become alienated, and the ruler and his people will become alienated. This will be of no benefit to the country and will bring endless troubles to Your Majesty.

How about a compromise? Your Majesty, I beg you to pledge my eternal life and swear an oath to the devil within me, so that the thief's accusations will be refuted."

Wei Yuan's words were like a fuse, setting the entire Sangpo on fire.

Human beings have some compassion and a sense of justice, but these two things cannot be the decisive factors in guiding a person's behavior. The only thing that can make people move willingly is their own immediate interests, or even worse, when it comes to their own life and property.

The gentlemen began to whisper to each other, and even the nobles who had always stood firmly on the side of Emperor Yuan Jing changed their expressions and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wei Yuan's words woke them up.

At first they just thought it was a party dispute and a political matter.

But it is impossible to judge an emperor who sacrifices the people of a state by common sense.

In his eyes, the people of Chuzhou are bargaining chips, so these subjects, these irrelevant people, are also objects that can be abandoned.

This is not okay.

All the officials in the court are old foxes who have lived for hundreds of years. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are just talk. The salary is just that little a month, so there is no need to risk their lives.

"Your Majesty, please take longevity as the stake, swear a great oath in your heart, and refute this beast!" Wang Zhenwen was the first to step forward to finish off the enemy!

"Your Majesty, please refute this beast!"

All the ministers bowed down in worship, and the mountains and seas roared, shaking Sangpo Lake.

The voice was so loud and full of conviction, far more so than when he had previously requested the execution of King Zhenbei in the Golden Palace.

Huh... Zhao Shouzheng straightened his expression and breathed a sigh of relief. His heart almost jumped into his throat just now.

Not to mention whether he can do it or not, even if he can, for a third-rank Confucian cultivator, the fate of an emperor is too heavy. It is possible that he, the notary, will die suddenly before the matter is discussed and concluded.

"Your Majesty, please swear an oath to prove your innocence." Zhao Shou looked at Emperor Yuan Jing indifferently.

He had more or less guessed the truth of the matter.

Emperor Yuan Jing was the mastermind, and Prince Zhenbei was just a knife in the old emperor's hand.

"Rebellion! Rebellion! Everything has rebelled!"

"What are you doing? Are you trying to force me? Do you still have the emperor and father in your eyes? Traitors, traitors!!"

The last four words were shouted hoarsely.

Emperor Yuan Jing was furious, but he looked fierce on the outside but was weak on the inside. The color gradually faded from his face. At this moment, the emperor felt extremely humiliated.

I have been playing with monkeys for thirty-seven years, but today, I was fooled by the monkey.

A surge of blood rushed to his heart and Emperor Yuan Jing staggered.

He didn't understand how the scheme he had set up to trap and kill the "King of Zhenbei" had turned out like this and become his own grave.

He also didn't understand why Linglong would be so hostile to this fake King of Zhenbei.

As if in response to Emperor Yuan Jing's thoughts, the sub-sage Confucian cap flashed with light. Zhao Shou seized the opportunity and shot out a clear light at a speed that no one could react to, heading straight for the center of King Zhenbei's eyebrows.

Qingguang's transition through the sub-sage Confucian cap was so fast and of such quality that a third-rank warrior could neither resist nor ignore it.

"Who are you and what are you doing?" Zhao Shou asked quickly.

The Prince of Zhenbei, who was hit by the clear light, seemed to be in a trance. He said subconsciously: "I am the Prince of Zhenbei, the emperor's younger brother! I followed the emperor's orders to slaughter Chuzhou and refine the soul pill. The emperor has crossed the river and demolished the bridge. I am unwilling to accept this..."

It was obvious that Qingguang's control could not last long. Less than a breath later, King Zhenbei reacted, glared at Zhao Shou, and without the slightest hesitation, he stomped out a sonic boom and threw a powerful punch. The energy directly plowed the rocks in front of him completely flat.

Of course, this punch did not hit Zhao Shou.

Zhao Shou was very aware of his role as a fragile auxiliary, and he was gathering strength a second before the King of Zhenbei regained consciousness. When the King of Zhenbei threw this punch, he had already moved dozens of feet away by shrinking the earth into an inch.

No matter what Zhao Shou thinks.

What King Zhenbei said earlier was the absolute truth.

The King of Zhenbei is indeed the King of Zhenbei.

The order to massacre the city was issued by Emperor Yuan Jing.

There was also the accusation made by the imperial envoy team that the King of Zhenbei was connected with the Wushen Cult.

Now it seems that the one who colluded with the Wushen Cult was not the King of Zhenbei, but Emperor Yuan Jing!
"What are you all looking at me for?" Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the pairs of eyes staring at him from below the altar and roared at the top of his lungs, his face trembling as he shouted, "Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!!!"

"Yuan Jing, swear an oath and retain some dignity as an emperor. This matter ends here."

At that moment, a ray of light burst into Sangpo, transforming in mid-air into the form of an old man in white clothes and a white beard. The warden looked coldly down at the old man, who, after his presence, staggered and slumped down on the steps, his gaze glazed over, revealing no emotion.

As an emperor and as a father, Joan of Arc was undoubtedly unqualified.

Such an emperor will only lead Dafeng to its doom.

It's just that his position prevented him from doing it himself, and Russell's plan was very much to his liking.

What Joan of Arc cares about most, besides power, is immortality. Today, he wants her to cut herself off from the path between power and immortality.

……

"Have you heard? Emperor Yuan Jing has issued an edict of self-blame!"

In Taoist Master Jinlian's courtyard, Li Miaozhen patted Russell's thigh and smiled brightly.

Just after lunch today, she had just gone out when she saw the court posting a notice for the first time.

The imperial city gate, the inner city gate, the outer city gate, the twelve city gates, and the twelve bulletin boards were all posted with Emperor Yuan Jing's edict of repentance. The Prince of Zhenbei was also imprisoned in Nanyuan by the supervisor, awaiting his fate.

"It's a pleasure to hear and see."

"It's very satisfying."

"Amitabha."

"me too."

Xu Qian'an, Chu Yuanzhen and Master Hengyuan also expressed their opinions one after another. Oh, and Lina too.

"According to the information I received, Emperor Yuan Jing not only issued an edict of self-blame, but also swore a great oath against his inner demons, severing his own bridge to immortality."

Taoist Jinlian stroked his beard and smiled meaningfully.

Others may not know what Emperor Yuan Jing’s situation is, but how could he not know?

After all, Joan of Arc was corrupted by him and became a demon. Therefore, after he became a demon, all the crimes he committed would turn into retribution and fall upon him, the instigator.

Unless Emperor Yuan Jing pays the price himself, the heavier the price paid by the other party, the less cause and effect he will have to bear.

"By the way, Number One is also a member of the royal family, right? I'll send her a message to ask what she thinks." Li Miaozhen took out the fragment of the Book of Earth and wanted to give her former enemy a hearty thrashing.

"Cough cough." Xu Qian'an coughed twice quickly, his brain working rapidly, and began to think of ways to stop Li Miaozhen's behavior without exposing himself.

After interacting with the two princesses for several days, he was able to more or less guess the identity of Number One.

No matter what, this bastard Yuan Jing is the other party's father, and she is feeling sad now.

"Has Lord Xu caught a cold?" Master Hengyuan asked with concern.

"Alas..." Chu Yuanzhen sighed. Master Hengyuan would become confused when he met Xu Ningyan due to his concern.

Xu Qian'an advanced to the fifth level of Hua Jin in front of them a few days ago. How could a fifth level martial artist suffer from injuries such as colds?

"A few days ago, I was practicing the skills taught by Zi Qi, and I had some ideas of my own, but ended up losing my breath." Xu Qian'an said.

This is not a lie.

Through the breathing energy of the giant scorpion, Master Shenshu woke up not long ago.

Just as he reconstructed the three elixirs and broke through to the fifth level of Hua Jin, the two of them speculated and verified the third level of the three levels of reverse birth that was not recorded on paper.

The method of reverse life is not complicated.

The first level is the superficial Qi transformation of the skin and flesh.

The second level transforms the internal organs and bones into Qi, and then reconstructs them with Qi to imitate the flesh and blood, making the body more stable and stronger, and having the ability to reconnect broken limbs and regenerate at super speed.

Xu Qian'an's realm stopped here.

According to Shenshu's idea, the second level is "reconstructing the structure you already have", and going deeper, it is "transforming the structure you don't have originally". If you want to achieve this, you must not only stop at Qi-transforming the body, but also the soul.

But this involves a key issue - the reverse life cannot run the circulation on its own.

If this problem cannot be solved, forcibly injecting the innate Qi into the soul will only cause the soul to collapse.

Therefore, while Shenshu was deducing from a high-level perspective based on his own understanding of martial arts, the "Shenshu Version: The Third Level of the Three Levels of Reversal" was released.

But this is an unprecedented attempt after all, so failure is naturally to be expected.

When Xu Qian'an was practicing according to Shenshu's method, his soul began to dissipate uncontrollably. If it weren't for Shenshu and Juyang's protection, he would have completely dissolved into the heaven and earth and become a part of it.

"You are really mischievous." Li Miaozhen couldn't help but say.

She had heard Russell talk about the heavy casualties suffered by the Trinity sect members in their attempt to break through the pass.

According to her localized understanding, it means that countless fifth-grade peak masters who have practiced the third level of reverse life have broken their tendons and veins in order to break through to the fourth grade, or fourth-grade masters have broken their tendons and veins in order to break through to the limit of the fourth grade, and their cultivation has been wasted.

Xu Qian'an is only at the fifth rank, how could he act so recklessly?

"The matter of martial arts is of great importance, Lord Xu, you'd better be cautious." After listening to Xu Qian'an's explanation, Master Hengyuan said "Amitabha" and then gave an admonition.

"It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it." Xu Qian'an coughed weakly. Seeing that the topic had deviated from its original track, Li Miaozhen also put away the fragments of the Earth Book. He was relieved and turned to look at Taoist Jinlian: "Come to think of it, Taoist hasn't told you what you brought us here today."

"Oh, that's right." Li Miaozhen reacted and realized that Taoist Jinlian had called them here today because he had something important to discuss, but she was too excited and forgot about it.

"In half a month, the nine-colored lotus will mature. I would like to invite you all to follow me to Jianzhou." Taoist Master Jinlian invited seriously.

He had only refined and fused a portion of the third-grade clone of the black lotus that Russell brought back for him due to the short time. Facing the covetous black lotus and other possible accidents, it was still too difficult for him and the remaining disciples of the Earth Sect to handle it alone.

……

The bedroom was in a mess.

The curtains were torn down, incense burners fell over, calligraphy and paintings were torn to pieces, tables were overturned, and gold and silver utensils were scattered all over the floor.

"Damn the traitor! Damn Wei Yuan! Damn Zhao Shou! Damn the Supervisor!"

Emperor Yuan Jing stood in the "ruins", wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, messy hair, and looking dazed.

The Changsheng Bridge was broken and the plan of more than 20 years was ruined. How could this not drive him crazy?

After being furious for a long time, Emperor Yuan Jing gradually calmed down. He now needed to clarify two issues.

First, who is the King of Zhenbei who is now in Nanyuan, and why can he remain safe and sound under the dual tests of the Spirit Dragon and the Word Spirit Technique?

Second, what should he do now to reconnect the broken Changsheng Bridge.

After thinking for a long time without any clue, Emperor Yuan Jing knew that it was time for him to visit the Wushen Cult.

The great wizard will surely be able to answer all his questions.
