"who?!"
Wang Cheng was really startled. His perception was so sharp that he didn't know when there was another person behind him. He quickly turned around.
I saw a man in black standing in the corridor, with a human skin mask on his face, and his true appearance could not be seen.
However, Wang Cheng still saw that this person was a woman. Although she was well hidden, he had clairvoyant eyes and her graceful figure was almost naked in front of him.
The woman in black seemed to be aware of it, and said angrily: "Did you cultivate the Heavenly Eye?"
Taoism has a lot of magic about eyes, including the yin and yang eye that can see through ghosts and gods, the celestial eye that can see through everything, the wisdom eye that can predict the future, the Dharma eye, the Tao eye, etc.
Wang Cheng has never practiced similar magic. His ability to see through things is entirely because of the "Soul-Eating Bead".
He stared at the woman in black opposite him with a penetrating gaze and said, "Who are you?"
The woman in black immediately hugged her chest with her arms and said in panic: "Have you really cultivated the Heavenly Eye?!"
She quickly formed a seal with her jade hands, and a mist seemed to rise around her, and she was immersed in it, hazy.
Wang Cheng's clairvoyant eyes were immediately "paralyzed" and could no longer see through the woman in black.
"A cultivator!"
Wang Cheng realized that the man in front of him must have used some kind of Taoist magic to isolate his telepathy.
He no longer used his clairvoyant eyes and said, "You just said that Duke Zhao is not dead? How do you know?"
The woman in black said: "Everyone knows that Zhao Gong is a genius. He has broken through to the realm of Martial King at a young age, and he has become a Great Martial King at an early age."
She suddenly asked, "Since Zhao Gong is a genius and the son of King Wen, he has naturally practiced the most powerful technique in the world. Why do you think he can't break through the realm of the Martial Emperor?"
Wang Cheng was startled when he heard this. Why didn't he think of this?
Yes, Zhao Gong reached the realm of Dacheng Martial King very early. He has a long lifespan and possesses the "Nine Dragons Controlling Heaven Skill". It can be said that breaking through to Martial King is a matter of course.
Thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not as thin as it is now. Every once in a while, there would be a strong Martial Emperor in the world, such as the Sword Emperor, the founder of the Three Corpses Sect, the first building owner of Louwailou, and many other strong people. Born in that era.
"A warrior who reaches the realm of Martial King can live for two to three hundred years, and a warrior who reaches the realm of Martial King can live for four to five hundred years. Duke Zhao will definitely be able to break through the realm of Martial King. There is no reason to live more than two hundred years!"
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng's scalp felt numb, and he felt that he had discovered a shocking secret.
He stared at the woman in black and said in a deep voice, "So, Duke Zhao is faking his own death to deceive the world?"
"It's not like deceiving the world."
The woman in black shook her head and continued: "More than two hundred years passed between Duke Zhao's breakthrough to the realm of Emperor Wu and his burial in the royal mausoleum. How could it be possible that in such a long time, Duke Zhao's cultivation level has not improved at all?"
Wang Cheng nodded secretly. Indeed, as the woman in black said, after more than two hundred years, Zhao Gong's cultivation level will definitely make a breakthrough.
He suddenly thought of something and said: "You mean, Zhao Gong faked his death in order to break through to a higher realm?"
The woman in black did not answer directly, but said longingly: "Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have longed for immortality. Duke Zhao takes fame and fortune lightly, but he can't resist the temptation to become an immortal."
She moved her eyes to the coffin on the hill and said: "The mere Emperor Wu can no longer stop Duke Zhao. Duke Zhao is destined to attack the throne of Martial Saint. Unfortunately, there has never been anyone in this continent. No one has ever existed in this continent." I have seen the Martial Saint, and no one knows how to break through the Martial Saint."
Wang Cheng also moved his eyes to the coffin with her, and said: "The nine-story demon tower and the nine dragons carrying the coffin are not for the purpose of becoming an immortal, but for the purpose of breaking through to the Martial Saint!"
The woman in black said: "There is nothing surprising about this place from the outside, but the terrain here is rare in the world. Nine dragon veins converge here, and the vitality and spiritual energy of heaven and earth are extremely rich."
After what she said, Wang Cheng really felt that the air here was indeed different.
There is neither the dampness of being buried deep in the ground, nor the rotten smell of ordinary tombs. Instead, it is extremely fresh, and there is a numbness in the lungs caused by smoking.
Wang Cheng greedily took a few more sips, his energy and blood immediately accelerated, and he faintly felt that another unique breath was being generated in his body.
His heart tightened and he quickly suppressed it. If he continued to suck it, he could enter the realm of a martial artist at any time.
Breakthrough martial arts masters are unusual. If there is no one to guide them, it is easy to misconnect the meridians and lead to obsession.
He is not ready to break through to the martial arts realm now. He has just broken the blood inheritance boundary. He has not yet settled and is not suitable to break through to the next realm.
"Did Duke Zhao finally break through to the Martial Saint?" He asked the question he wanted to know most.
The woman in black was still staring at the coffin on the hill, and said complicatedly: "The answer may be inside!"
Wang Cheng looked at the coffin and was shocked. He remembered the "diary", the alchemy room and the "Nine Dragons Heaven Control Technique" left in the room on the ninth floor.
Duke Zhao left the coffin after his burial, but nearly a thousand years later, the coffin was still in perfect condition without any sign of damage.
Could it be that Duke Zhao failed to break through to the Martial Saint in the end and buried himself in it again?
Looking back at the woman in black, Wang Cheng's eyes became complicated. How could this woman of unknown origin know so much?
So, he asked the question again: "Who are you?"
The woman in black said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that if I don't leave here, I may never be able to get out!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
At this moment, a hearty laughter sounded in the underground palace, and the sound lingered.
The sixth floor.
At the entrance of the hole Wang Cheng dug earlier, a figure stood.
His hair was disheveled, and most of his face was covered by the messy hair. His clothes were in tatters and stained with blood in many places.
However, Wang Cheng still recognized this person as the leader of the mysterious organization!
When the woman in black saw him appearing, she said nervously: "Zhao De?"
"Zhaode?"
Wang Cheng muttered something, suddenly thought of something, looked at the woman in black and said: "He is..."
"Yes! He is the direct descendant of Duke Zhao!" The woman in black nodded.
Wang Cheng was actually not surprised by this answer.
Don't look at the fact that he is currently located in the underground palace of the royal mausoleum. In fact, Zhao Gong's mausoleum is very hidden. Unlike the famous mountains and rivers chosen by other emperors and princes, this mausoleum is actually located underground like ordinary mausoleums.
Thousands of years have passed, and the mountains and rivers have changed dramatically. If you are not familiar with Zhaogong's tomb, it would be difficult to find it, let alone enter the inner city of the royal tomb.
Wang Cheng then remembered what Zhang Laosan had said to him on the road during the day, and said, "So, he is also a rebel who was kicked out of the family tree by the Zhou royal family?"
The woman in black nodded and said: "Yes! It was their lineage that advocated the founding of the country and attempted to subvert the royal power of the Zhou royal family. In the end, they were removed by King Xuan!"
She glanced at Zhao De below, and then said: "Hundreds of years have passed, and people in their lineage have not given up on overthrowing the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they established the organization "Zhaomen"."
"Summoning?" Wang Cheng was stunned.
The woman in black nodded and said: "Actually, the Zhao Sect has been established since King Xuan destroyed the Zhao Kingdom. They have been hiding in Zhao Gong's mausoleum for so many years, secretly recruiting troops, and the entire Wuyuan County has long been under their control."
"shut up!"
Zhaode suddenly pointed at the woman in black and yelled: "You bitch! You are just a maid next to Zhou Yue, but you still dare to criticize the master's affairs!"
"Zhou Yue?" Wang Cheng was a little confused.
Who is this Zhou Yue?
What does this person have to do with Zhao De?
The woman in black didn't explain or say anything back. She simply said: "Let's go! I'll take you out!"
"Um?"
Wang Chengqing said, "Hey, he and this woman in black have never met before, why did she take him out?"
"Where to go!"
At this time, Zhao De jumped up from the sixth floor, a gust of wind flashed past, and he appeared on the ninth floor.
"Walk!"
The woman in black turned around and said something to Wang Cheng, blocking Zhao De's path.
She moved her jade hands together and muttered a few spells, and the mist from the hill quickly came in.
"Things that don't know whether to live or die!"
Zhao De's extremely ugly face showed a sneer and punched her.
"Whoosh!"
Golden light flashed, and a three- to four-meter-large golden fist hit her head.
Before the woman in black's attack could be completed, the other party's attack had already arrived.
At the critical moment, a black figure flashed in front of her and punched the giant golden fist.
"Bang!!"
The fist the size of a pear collided with the golden giant fist three to four meters in size, which was completely out of proportion. The huge golden fist seemed to be able to smash Wang Cheng into pieces at any time.
But within a moment, the giant golden fist cracked open with a "click" and finally exploded.
"court death!"
When Zhao De saw Wang Cheng coming to kill him, he immediately gritted his teeth. If Wang Cheng hadn't appeared, he wouldn't be in this situation. He hated Wang Cheng deeply.
"kill!!"
He roared angrily, disappeared on the spot, and appeared in front of Wang Cheng. His two fists were instantly covered with true energy, shining with golden light and indestructible.
Wang Cheng was full of fighting spirit and directly used his special skills that he had just realized.
"clang!"
The fists of the two collided in mid-air, making a sharp sound like iron and stone.
Both of them were shocked, and then continued to punch each other without hesitation.
"clang!"
"clang!"
…
You punch, I punch, the two pairs of fists are so fast that only shadows can be seen.
The beautiful eyes of the woman in black shone with brilliance. This young man could actually fight with Zhao De, who had reached the level of a great master.
However, she also knew very well that there would be no problem in a short fight, but in a real fight of more than a hundred moves, Wang Cheng would definitely suffer a big loss.
So she moved her jade hands together, quickly formed a seal, and softly shouted "Get up!"
The next moment, the thick fog that had already surged into the air appeared on the ninth floor, and then spread quickly, submerging the three of them.
"clang!!"
Another fierce crash sounded, and a figure flew backwards more than ten meters away.
After landing, Wang Cheng took a few steps back before regaining his balance. His hands were covered in blood and he couldn't stop shaking.
"Walk!"
The woman in black flashed past him, and he quickly followed her, disappearing into the thick fog in the blink of an eye.
Zhao De jumped out of the thick fog. How could he see the two of them at this time?
"Hmph! Think you can escape like this? You are overestimating your own abilities!"
With a sarcastic look on his face, he jumped into the air like a roc spreading its wings, heading straight for the glowing sphere at the top of the underground palace.
Wang Cheng and the woman in black have now appeared at the lowest level, where the fog is thickest.
He couldn't figure out why he still went downstairs when he had already opened a hole on the sixth floor.
Seemingly sensing his doubts, the woman in black used telepathy to explain: "The path you opened has been discovered by Zhao De, and there is a group of Zhaomen disciples blocking it outside."
Wang Cheng was suddenly enlightened. He actually forgot that this was the home of the mysterious organization, the Zhaomen. The people he had met before were only part of the group, not even 20% of the power of the Zhaomen.
If they go out of the hole, they will definitely be attacked head-on by those guarding outside. At that time, they will really become turtles in the urn, unable to display their strength.
Wang Cheng followed closely behind the woman in black. Since she did not go through the cave, she must know that there are other exits from the underground palace of Wang Tomb.
However, Wang Cheng followed the woman in black for several minutes and still couldn't find the exit.
The woman in black suddenly stopped, looked at the rising mist in the sky, and said, "Trouble! Zhao De must have opened the underground palace's mechanism!"
The two people were surrounded by white fog, which was very dense and the visibility was less than three meters.
The top of the head was also shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see through.
Wang Cheng's mental power surged around like a tide, but after extending five meters, he encountered a huge obstacle and was suppressed by an inexplicable force.
"Haha! Don't waste your efforts! I have activated the underground palace mechanism. You can't even think of leaving here. You bastards and bastards, just bury them here!"
