Creation of the Universe

Although Zhao Tianhai's Taoism was not high, he was practicing the Niuhun Dafa. Moreover, with the help of various elixirs, his four meridians were expanded, and his strength was far superior to Shen Zhan.

The power of a random punch is enough to not only kill Shen Zhan, but even break a mountain.

Kill Shen Zhan and please the prince.

His Zhao family will naturally be valued by the prince in the future, and the entire family may even rise to become the top family in this city.

"boom!"

Shen Zhan secretly concentrated his spiritual energy, and a long sword fell from the sky and hit Zhao Tianhai's head.

"what……"

Zhao Tianhai lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The bag hummed.

Shen Zhan shook his head unhappily. Although his cultivation had improved, his physical strength was still too weak.

"Shen Zhan, you're looking for death!"

Zhao Tianhai felt completely humiliated after being successfully "sneak attacked" by Shen Zhan in public.

He attacked suddenly without paying any attention to the rules of cultivation, but was defeated in three consecutive rounds.

Shen Zhan seemed to be able to anticipate the enemy's moves with every move and every style, and Zhao Tianhai was toyed around by him like a child.

After the duel, most of Zhao Tianhai's spiritual power disappeared, and he couldn't even stand steadily.

The other members of the Zhao family looked at the scene in horror, their eyes dull, and they seemed to have forgotten even to step forward to help.

In order to participate in the trial conference, Shen Zhan deliberately concealed some of his strength.

According to the original owner's memory, before each trial conference of the vassal states, a trial conference would be held in the country first, with the intention of eliminating the quota for participating in the trial conference of the vassal states. However, in the past few years, it seems that without exception, the prince Shen Jingming has won the first place.

If one reveals one's strength before the national conference, it may lead to fatal disaster.

Besides, the original owner was physically weak, and he had no power or foundation in the palace, so temporarily hiding his strength was the best strategy.

As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster.

"You bastard!"

Zhao Tianhai, who was angry and embarrassed, immediately sat cross-legged in the center of the continent, holding his breath and concentrating all his thoughts on one point.

His bloodthirsty eyes were clearly revealed, and Shen Zhan was secretly shocked.

Zhao Tianhai didn't care about his life. He was clearly using the backlash from his own body to force a breakthrough in his spiritual power.

While this method worked temporarily, it was like killing one thousand enemies while injuring eight hundred of your own. To recover your original strength, you would need at least a year and a half of rest.

impossible!

Zhao Tianhai's heart trembled slightly. How could Shen Zhan, who had just entered the martial arts apprenticeship, be his opponent?

If he is not killed outside the palace today, firstly, Shen Jingming might blame him, and secondly, his Zhao family will lose face.

Shen Zhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He calmly sat cross-legged opposite Zhao Tianhai, his body automatically absorbing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Then he held his breath and concentrated all his spiritual energy into the dantian in his heart.

He slowly activated the power of the God of War, and the remaining energy of the Foundation Establishment Pill in his body secretly flowed through his meridians and tendons.

Gradually, a golden halo enveloped Shen Zhan's body.

"hit!"

Shen Zhan transformed all his spiritual energy into a sharp sword and went straight for Zhao Tianhai's lifeline.

"what……"

After a moment, Zhao Tianhai's body fell straight down and turned into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, the other members of the Zhao family felt as if they were being held down by a jack, staring at Shen Zhan in amazement.

"Why don't you just get out of here? Do you want to die here?"

Shen Zhan slowly stood up, gathered his spiritual power, turned around and disappeared onto the path.

……

Jinning Prince's Palace, Crown Prince's Palace.

"My son, my son..."

A miserable sound instantly circled above the mansion, and a young man rushed to Shen Jingming as fast as the wind.

"What a mess, you're so flustered!"

Shen Jingming, who was practicing, frowned and walked down slowly.

The country's refining test conference was approaching, and after some hard training, his cultivation level had improved by another level in just a few days.

If this trend continues, he will almost certainly take the top spot in this year's Trial Conference.

"Sir, our Young Master Zhao is dead. Your Highness, please make a decision for our Young Master."

The Zhao family servants prostrated themselves at Shen Jingming's feet in fear and trepidation, with a hint of choking in their tone.

"what?"

Shen Jingming was surprised for a long time before he came to his senses, "Who is so bold as to attack the eldest son of the Zhao family?"

"With Zhao Tianhai's training, no one in the Jinning Palace area should be able to defeat him."

"It's...it's General Shen Zhan."

The Zhao family servant answered tremblingly. At this point, he dared not hide anything and reported everything that had just happened to Shen Jingming.

"How is this possible? This is complete nonsense."

In a rage, Shen Jingming slapped the Zhao family servant ten feet away with one palm.

The Zhao family servants were weak and could not withstand the force of Shen Jingming's palm. They died on the spot with blood spitting out of their mouths.

He didn't believe that it was Shen Zhan who did it.

In Shen Jingming's mind, Shen Zhan was just a piece of trash, let alone the ability to kill Zhao Tianhai silently.

"Strange, there are only a few masters in the palace, and they are all close to this prince. They are also on good terms with Zhao Tianhai. Who is the one who did this?"

"Could it be an external force?"

"will not."

Shen Jingming shook his head without hesitation.

The area surrounding the Jinning Palace has long been encircled by a barrier created by experts. If anyone dares to break in without permission, they will naturally trigger the barrier.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Not to mention that Zhao Tianhai is Shen Jingming's most loyal right-hand man, his father Zhao Yunfeng is the backbone of King Jinning.

If the Zhao family is not given an explanation for this matter, it may cause civil unrest in the palace.

"Go inform the Tenth Prince, Shen Jingdong, and have him conduct a secret investigation tomorrow."

Shen Jingming pondered for a moment and immediately gave an order, "Also, what has Shen Zhan been doing recently? Immediately send someone to monitor his every move."

"As ordered."

"The rest of you please step back."

Shen Jingming waved his hands helplessly. Zhao Tianhai's death was beyond his expectation, and he had no intention of practicing for the time being.

At this time, countless questions filled Shen Jingming's mind. Ever since the brother and sister Shen Zhan and Shen Yunli were given the Dao rules, the development of the situation became increasingly out of his control.

For some reason, a vague sense of foreboding came to Shen Jingming's heart.

"impossible!"

Shen Jingming pondered for a moment and shook his head subconsciously.

"Shen Zhan is nothing but a piece of trash. It's not worth it for this prince to spend his time and energy on him."

As for Shen Yunli, although he was endowed with the ninth-level Dao, the world is unpredictable and his future is ultimately uncertain.

"So what if Shen Yunli is endowed with the ninth-order Dao principle? She is not a legitimate daughter, and is ultimately just a stepping stone for the palace."

When Shen Jingming thought of his proud background, his heart gradually settled down.

However, from the description of the Zhao family servants, it is not difficult to see that the person who killed Zhao Tianhai must be extremely powerful.

But why would such a powerful person do such a cruel thing to Zhao Tianhai? Is there some hidden reason behind this?
