At this moment.
Whether it was the old man chopping firewood or all the players, they were all stunned at the scene in front of them.
Although Shen Jian's past achievements were terrifying, he suppressed the ghost king and regarded the ghost king as nothing, and even single-handedly wiped out the entire Xiping Village's red-clad ghosts.
But compared with the shocking scene of the city emperor's stone statue appearing, all of this seemed insignificant.
But now.
The "City Prince" in their eyes was crawling at Shen Jian's feet and was treated like a pet.
Such a strong contrast made them confused.
I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
However, Shen Jian ignored this.
He was holding a half-broken piece of the City Emperor's Seal and looking at it.
It's the piece in Ghost Faced Tiger's hand.
This city emperor's seal had gone through an unknown number of years, and its surface had become incomplete, and it was split into two halves in the middle. The ghost-faced tiger took a look at one of them.
】
Shen Jian looked around.
On the seal, an unclear character "Zhang" comes into view.
This surname is obviously the city emperor's real surname.
"Where is the other half of the city's imperial seal?"
Shen Jian asked.
The ghost-faced tiger smiled and said: "Sir, I have been looking for it, but based on my research over the years, I infer that the other half should be in the human world."
Hear this.
Shen Jian's eyes flickered.
In the Yangshi?
This was beyond his expectation.
It seems that after finishing this copy, he will have to explore Yangshi.
Find the other half of the city emperor's seal.
Think of this.
Shen Jian asked again about his purpose in coming to Xiping Village.
"Why are you spreading rumors? Sir, this is a deal between me and others."
"trade?"
"Yes, someone promised me that as long as I spread the news as the city emperor, when the matter is over, he will help me find a way to enter the human world, so I agreed."
Ghost Faced Tiger said honestly.
"who is it?"
"I do not know."
The ghost-faced tiger still answered honestly.
Shen Jian:......
"Sir, I really don't know. The other person is wearing a human skin. As soon as my eyes fell on it, I would feel creepy. So I didn't see his appearance clearly. But he is a top ghost king. I know this. I’m sure, otherwise I wouldn’t agree to his deal.”
Shen Jian pondered.
This is a directional clue.
According to his understanding, there are only four top ghost kings in the entire Eternal Night Kingdom.
In other words, the mastermind behind this is among these four people.
Think of this.
Shen Jian smiled.
I suppressed the useless thought of continuing to speculate.
No matter what kind of murderer he is looking for, his purpose is to pack up the Eternal Night Kingdom and take him back to the underworld. He will not miss these four top ghost kings at all.
Caught them all.
What does it matter who is the murderer?
This time.
Shen Jian's pattern suddenly opened up.
Don't worry about this anymore.
then.
He turned and left.
…
The scarlet panel appeared immediately.
[Side mission: Solving the disaster at the City Emperor Temple (Completed)]
[This task is a long-term task and the rewards have been unlocked. 】
[Reward: Fame +100%, favorability of the Queen Mother of Yongye Kingdom +20. 】
[It has been detected that this side task is the branch task of the Rebellion of the Eternal Night Kingdom, and the Rebellion of the Eternal Night Kingdom has been unlocked. 】
[Side mission: Rebellion in the Kingdom of Evernight (not started)]
[Note: Please explore on your own. 】
Glanced.
Shen Jian's eyes lit up.
This side mission actually has a reward.
And it is the improvement in favorability that he needs most at the moment.
If he remembered correctly, the Empress Dowager Zhuang's favorability towards him was 30 points, and with 20 points added to it, it reached 50 points.
It has entered the familiarization stage.
Going one step further, that is the ambiguous stage at 60 points.
At that time, maybe there will be a chance to achieve the goal of making it impossible for the Queen Mother to climb down from the phoenix bed and to monitor the country.
As for the chaos in Yongye Kingdom...
Shen Jian was a little thoughtful.
This side mission looks a bit like all the turmoil that the Eternal Night Kingdom has experienced, and it is a turmoil that is enough to threaten the royal family's dominance.
Just like the disaster at Chenghuang Temple.
He didn't know how the former Eternal Night Kingdom solved the rumors, but it would never be easy to think about it.
after all.
If the ghost-faced tiger is determined to hide in the stone statue of the city emperor, not even the top ghost king can touch him.
At this time, the Queen of Evernight was nothing more than an abyss-level ghost. Even with the blessing of the title Lord of Dungeons, she was at best equivalent to a top ghost king.
There is no way to break the stone statue of the City Emperor.
However, the Ghost Faced Tiger can spread rumors everywhere in the City Emperor Temple. Over time, it will inevitably affect the rule of the royal family.
There is no doubt about this.
But now.
The trajectory of history has changed.
He stopped this disaster in advance before the incident escalated.
As soon as this idea came up.
The scarlet panel also showed a progress simultaneously.
[Hidden mission: Reversing the fate of Yongye Kingdom. 】
[Current progress: 9%. 】
…
Return to the palace.
The news spread like wildfire.
In Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager is located, there are eunuchs who have resolved the ferment in the Chenghuang Temple.
And brought the false city emperor back to the palace.
He has made great contributions.
As soon as this news came out.
The whole palace was in an uproar.
Everyone was in disbelief.
Eunuch?
Can a few young eunuchs solve the Chenghuang Temple incident?
To know.
Before the rumors about Chenghuang Temple were fermented, the imperial court received a tip and sent officials to investigate.
In the end, there was no news.
after.
They even dispatched abyss-level combat forces to investigate.
In the end there was no news.
And now.
A group of young eunuchs who were sent to die ended up destroying the Chenghuang Temple.
He even brought the fake city emperor back.
This is too dreamy.
You have this damn ability, why are you going to be a eunuch?
There is no woman in your heart, so you draw your sword to the God of Nature?
the other side.
The player base was also sensational.
They all asked about specific matters.
Even the two top ten ghost masters in the supernatural circle came over in a hurry.
The short-haired man with the ID [Ye Feng] widened his eyes and said, "You... solved the side mission of the City Emperor Temple?"
The long-haired young man with the ID of [Actress] also restrained his cynical smile, and his eyes fell on the five returning players.
He couldn't believe it.
He was the first to know about the Chenghuang Temple side quest.
It was also the others he told the news to.
But as others have thought, this side mission is too difficult.
Although you can quickly approach the Queen of Evernight after completing it, you still have to come back alive.
At least he wasn't sure.
This is one of the reasons why he shared the message.
However, he never expected that a player would actually complete this task.
He looked at the five players in front of him.
One is level 8, two are level 13, one is level 21, and one is level 25.
One-star players, two-star players, three-star players.
Can such a lineup complete the side mission of City Emperor Temple?
In his opinion, this side mission could only be completed unless he, Ye Feng, and the three top ghost masters of Yama, together with a dozen three-star ghost masters to open the way.
It's not surprising that he was wiped out by the group.
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm.
The player whose ID is [Xiao He] told the truth.
"It's the Great Lord Yama. We are just filling in the tasks he completed."
As soon as these words came out.
All the players were shocked.
This was even more shocking than when they heard that someone had completed the side mission of the City Emperor Temple.
Speeding through the Chenghuang Temple branch line by oneself?
I'm crazy.
What a fairy this is.
"What about the so-called City Emperor? I heard that the fake City Emperor was captured and taken back to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace."
A player asked this question.
"The City Emperor is real! He was captured and taken back, and it is also real."
"Moreover, this city emperor is being kept as a pet."
…
Cining Palace.
Listening to Shen Jian's deeds.
For the first time, Queen Mother Zhuang looked at Shen Jian with strange eyes.
She actually made a mistake.
This little man actually has such ability.
The problem of the Chenghuang Temple, which was a headache for the imperial court, was solved by dividing it into three and five.
And also brought the city emperor back.
This time, the rumors were self-defeating.
after all.
How could the city emperor be caught?
Even if someone can catch him, is he still the city emperor?
That's not just a liar.
There was no need for the royal family to refute the rumors anymore, and the conspiracy against the royal family collapsed.
"I'm looking down on you this time. I said that if you can solve this problem and come back alive, I will give you a reward. Tell me, what do you want?"
Queen Mother Zhuang stepped forward.
Came to Shen Jian.
"The Queen Mother makes the decision."
Shen Jian said casually.
He glanced at the favorability panel.
【Empress Dowager Zhuang Su of Yongye Kingdom】
[Favorability: 55 (familiar)]
"I have no ambition, but how can the people around me not have official positions? What's more, you also solved a turmoil for the court."
See Shen Jian's appearance.
The corners of Queen Mother Zhuang's mouth raised.
It exudes a charming light mature smell.
"From today on, you will be responsible for commanding the Jingshi Room as the general manager."
"yes."
Hear this.
Shen Jian was stunned.
The position of chief eunuch is not a small one.
In the entire Yongye Kingdom, he is not considered a small official.
What's more, he is still someone close to the Queen Mother, and his power is much greater than that of looking for the father-in-law.
Shen Jian was thoughtful.
It seemed that the reason for her goodwill made the Queen Mother Zhuang prepare to train him as one of her own.
…
Return to your residence.
Shen Jian learned about the three forces of Yongye Kingdom based on the players' messages.
One of them is headed by civil servants, and the prime minister headed by him is a top ghost king.
The other group is headed by the general, who is also the top ghost king.
There is also the last one, a prince with a different surname outside the Great Wall.
He is also the top ghost king.
Three top ghost kings, three forces.
Plus an ancestor of the royal family.
These are the four top ghost kings owned by Yongye Kingdom.
Thinking.
A burst of smoke with subtle supernatural fluctuations filled the air.
Shen Jian was stunned.
There was a bit of weirdness on his face.
This appears to be a neurotoxin.
Someone wants to kill him?
He had just solved the disaster at the City Emperor Temple, and someone in the palace wanted to kill him?
Shen Jian smiled.
really.
He still has to make trouble. If he doesn't make trouble, others won't notice him.
Shen Jian stood up.
Getting ready for action.
There were already bursts of noise from the outside world.
It's like chasing something.
at the same time.
Empress Dowager Zhuang's voice also sounded majestic: "Go and capture this person for me. I will spread the news in vain. I finally have a clue today."
Hear this.
Shen Jian understood something immediately.
The news in the palace was not leaked, but was deliberately spread by the Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Hearing the sound of Empress Dowager Zhuang approaching, and smelling the scent of supernatural toxins remaining in the air, Shen Jian suddenly thought of something.
Think about it.
He took out a bottle of potion from his body.
This was something he got away from the three major hospitals in the Happy Town dungeon.
This potion has a very nice name.
Rose love.
In layman's terms, it's a spring medicine.
Then.
Shen Jian poured out the potion.
The smell of the potion spreads in the room.
Filled the entire space.
You can faintly smell the fragrance of roses...
