Creation Color Master

The shadow left, leaving behind a pile of corpses in front of the mansion gate. There was blood, flesh and body parts, making the place a mess.

Chu Mo didn't mind. The appearance of the mermaid not only brought him a lot of spirituality, but also many rare spiritual objects. These could be used as spiritual materials for refining leather puppets.

So, they began to clean up the battlefield under the cover of night.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, when Tang Tiansheng heard Shadow's report, his face became so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

The majestic voice asked with boundless anger: "Can the shadow guard find out who is behind the fall?"

Shadow said, "Your Majesty, it was Jiang Qi, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He secretly bribed several officials from the Imperial Capital to Yunzhou and released the sea monster into the Imperial Capital. His methods were even more cruel. Some people who knew about the conspiracy and were unwilling to be involved were also brutally killed by him."

Tang Tiansheng did not get angry but laughed instead, and said in a sinister tone: "Good, good, good, you are really a good minister of mine. Not only did you bribe officials and allow the sea monster to attack the imperial capital, you also killed court officials. You really don't deserve to die."

"Shadow, Jiang Qi, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was originally dissatisfied with the Ascension Plan I organized. Why did the sea monsters besiege the Xianyang Palace? Can't you see the trick?"

Shadow said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this was the idea of ​​Scholar Meng and Scholar Liu from the Imperial Academy. They wanted to kill three birds with one stone."

"On the night when the Ascension Plan was concluded, the imperial capital was attacked by sea monsters. This was an ominous sign. The officials who were not optimistic about the Ascension Plan had a reason to criticize the emperor and even abolished the Ascension Plan, which was held every five years."

"At the same time, everyone in the world knows that the emperor and Prince Xianyang have a deep relationship. For many years, he has secretly supported the emperor and solved many problems for the emperor. He even personally guarded the coast to prevent sea monsters. If your own son died in the imperial capital, died at the hands of sea monsters, it would inevitably affect your relationship with Prince Xianyang, and even break up."

"Also, in Yunzhou where Prince Xianyang is, there is also the Haoran Academy, the first academy of the dynasty. They train talents for the dynasty to govern the country, but never participate in the political affairs of the court. Once the emperor and Prince Xianyang break up, it will inevitably affect the relationship with Haoran Academy. At that time, the emperor can only use the children of aristocratic families, so that the influence of aristocratic families in the court will continue to expand."

Tang Tiansheng just listened quietly, with no joy or sadness on his face.

After a long while, Tang Tiansheng asked, "Have you collected enough evidence for this matter?"

Shadow said: "I have been alert for a long time and have been sending shadow guards to monitor their every move. I am just waiting for the emperor's order, and I can immediately arrest the officials involved in this matter."

Tang Tiansheng nodded and said, "There is no rush for this matter. Let's talk about the Deng Tiance matter first. The Deng Tiance exam ended last night. Ask the officials in charge to speed up the process. The best 120 exam papers must be selected in three days. At that time, I will personally review them and select the top 12 students to serve as officials in the court."

Shadow nodded and said, "I will inform them."

Tang Tiansheng nodded but didn't respond.

Just when Shadow was about to leave, Tang Tiansheng spoke again: "Shadow, are those two little guys okay? How are they now?"

Shadow said in a deep voice: "They released two third-level sea monsters this time, and there were also hundreds of first-level sea monsters mixed in. Fortunately, Chu Mo had a military cultivator and a Buddhist cultivator beside him, and Tian Yiheng and Wei Zheng were guarding Tang Feichen in the backyard, so he was not hurt."

Tang Tiansheng nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I know about this. You go there for me and tell them that I will personally summon them both when Tang Feichen comes out of seclusion."

There was a gleam of fluctuation in Shadow's eyes, and then he turned and left.

After the shadow left, Tang Tiansheng turned around and walked to the chair, turned the mechanism beside it, and saw a scroll slowly unfolding.

The painting on the scroll depicts a charming woman, who is as lifelike as a real person. Her every frown and smile is captivating. Tang Tiansheng is also looking at the woman in the scroll in a trance.

If Chu Mo were here, he would definitely find that the woman in the scroll looks 60% similar to himself.

No, it should be that Chu Mo's appearance is 60% similar to the woman in the scroll.

Tang Tiansheng couldn't help but murmured, "Rou'er, we have found our child. He has now come to the imperial capital, but I am not a competent father. I don't have the courage to recognize him. What should I do?"

At this time, the scroll in the hall was swaying in the wind, as if telling something.

Tang Tiansheng said in a daze: "Rou'er, I heard that our son is very similar to you. His cultivation talent is also considered to be the best of his generation. He also comprehended the seeds of the Great Dao very early. In this respect, he is very similar to me."

Tang Tiansheng was whispering in the hall. At this moment, he seemed no longer the almighty emperor, but just a frustrated person with no one to talk to.

Outside the gate of Prince Xianyang's Mansion, Chu Mo was still happily collecting various spiritual objects.

Use a sharp dagger to cut off the heart-protecting scales of the deep-sea monster. This is the place with the highest defense in the monster's body.

When the heart of the deep-sea monster was cut open, a stream of blood with a strong water spirituality appeared, which was the essence of the monster.

Coming to the corpse of the Iron Claw Crawfish Monster, Chu Mo looked at the pair of iron claws and murmured, "What a pity, what a pity, the boss was too ruthless, a pair of iron claws were broken like this, this is a spiritual item from the third level monster, it's hard to find."

Looking at Chu Mo busying around, Yang Jiye and Yao Guangxiao smiled at each other.

During the next three days, Chu Mo kept practicing, using his spirituality to polish his skin and flesh.

This is the practice method for the second level of body-building, which requires all the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, blood and internal organs to be polished.

Chu Mo started by polishing his own skin and flesh, assisted by a spiritual object called Meat Ganoderma, which could speed up the polishing process.

In the Taiji Hall, after discussions between Tang Tiansheng and a group of civil and military ministers, the top twelve candidates for the Ascension Plan were finally determined.

First place: Wei Zheng

Second place: Tian Yiheng

Third place: Zhang Hexuan

Fourth place: Wu Junxing

Fifth place: Xu Zihan

6th place: Gu Minghong

Seventh place: Xiao Yanbo

8th place: Wang Wenchao

9th place: Liu Hao

10th place: Chen Yongnian

11th place: Zhou Zeyue

12th place: Chen Li

In addition, thirty-six students with the talents of provincial governors and seventy-two top talents from hundreds of schools were selected, totaling one hundred and twenty.

When the quota was announced, the entire imperial capital became lively, and for a time, the name of the person who won the prize was known throughout the world.

In Zuichunlou, in a private room, five young men from aristocratic families gathered together. There were delicious dishes on the table. Xu Zihan drank a glass of wine and said, "Who are these Wei Zheng and Tian Yiheng? I have never heard of them, and there are no works of theirs circulating. Yet, they are ranked top one or two. Do you know them?"

Wang Wenchao, Chen Yongnian and Liu Hao explained and shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of it.

Chen Li, who was standing aside, seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Brother Xu, I have heard my father talk about these two people. They are people with real abilities. My father even praised Wei Zheng as a rare talent in a century."

Everyone was naturally aware of Chen Li's identity. His father was the current Minister of Rites, Chen Fangxu. Xu Zihan felt a little more comfortable to have such an evaluation from such a figure.

Then Xu Zihan asked nervously, "Could it be that the fact that Minister Chen gave such an evaluation of me is related to the strange phenomenon that happened six days ago?"

Chen Li quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, but still nodded at Xu Zihan.

After getting a positive answer, Xu Zihan slowly leaned back in his chair. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
