The Xia Palace is huge and covers a vast area.
Among them, there are many palaces, densely packed and countless.
Qin Wuhen strode across the palace gates, and the maids and guards along the way saluted.
After walking for about half an hour, we arrived in front of the worship hall.
The Enshrining Hall is an extremely luxurious and glorious hall. Even the floor tiles at the entrance are paved with gold. Looking from a distance, there is an aura of luxury coming from the paving!
The enshrinement hall has a long history and has existed since the founding of Daxia. Only the most powerful people are not allowed to enter.
It is said that during the peak period of Daxia, there were no less than ten worshippers in the Mahayana period, but after all, it was too old and the authenticity needs to be verified.
And at this time, not to mention Daxia, even in the entire continent of China, there are very few powerful people in the Mahayana stage, and they are all powerful people in famous towns!
As for this remote Cangzhou realm, the strongest person on the surface is only the cultivation of the God Transformation Realm. Maybe some peak powers have enshrined monks in the Void Return Stage, but they are definitely enshrined as ancestors!
It is said that when the eleventh generation of Xia King, Qin Jie's predecessor, was on the throne, Daxia once enshrined two strong men in the Return to Void Stage.
But then he disappeared. Maybe he died after running out of longevity, or maybe he left Daxia and never went anywhere else.
In short, during the two hundred years of Qin Jie's reign, the Hall of Enshrinement never left a strong man who had returned to the void stage!
To this day, in the huge worship hall, only the eight worshipers in the late stages of the Transformation of God Realm exist!
Some of them existed when the eleventh generation of King Xia was on the throne, and the remaining few were recruited from outside just after Qin Jie ascended the throne. Each of them is a famous and powerful person in Daxia!
Ten days ago, in a battle on the border, five of the eight great ministers were killed and three were injured. All the five left behind by the eleventh generation of King Xia died, leaving only three who were recruited after Qin Jie ascended the throne.
There were no guards or maids at the door, so it seemed a bit clean.
Qin Wuhen did not stop and led Li Xiaoyao directly into it, while the guards leading the way were waiting at the door.
clatter! clatter!
The crisp footsteps are particularly clear in the wide hall!
"Your Highness, there is a mysterious aura underground, it should be a strong man in the Void Return Stage!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyao suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Qin Wuhen's ear.
Qin Wuhen's eyes moved slightly, and then he nodded without any trace.
I remember that Lu Bu also said last time that there was an aura of the Void Stage deep in the Xia Palace, but he didn't expect it to be in the enshrinement hall.
If the prediction was correct, this person should be one of the two powerful people in the Void Return Stage who were worshiped by Daxia during the reign of the eleventh generation Xia King. Unexpectedly, he is still alive!
But a few days ago, Qin Jie fell and he was assassinated in the East Palace. Even after Dongfang Haoran and Nangong Aotian forced the palace to seize the throne, he did not show up to help.
Therefore, Qin Wuhen didn't have much favorable impression of this powerful man in the Void Return Stage!
Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor!
But when the disciples of the royal family faced a crisis, he still stayed on the sidelines and had no professional ethics at all as a worshipper!
"Don't worry about him! Let's go!"
Qin Wuhen had no expression on his face, whispered something, and took Li Xiaoyao directly to the upper floor of the hall.
The worship hall is divided into three floors. Qin Wuhen has never been here before. He doesn't know which floor these worshipers live on, so he can only search them one by one.
…
Deep in the underground palace of the Enshrinement Hall.
An old man wearing a linen gray robe sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the brightly lit secret room with his eyes closed. His eyes that were originally slightly closed slowly opened.
Raising his head slightly, the old man's gaze seemed to transcend the barriers and saw two figures circling upward.
"The little guy should have discovered me, but he pretended that I didn't exist..."
The old man murmured in a low voice, and a helpless smile appeared on his old face: "I wanted to take action that day, but that little guy Xiao Ping arrived in time, and I didn't show up..."
"Now that boy Qin Jie has died, Daxia is in a critical situation, and I am unable to support you alone. I can only save your Qin family bloodline at the critical moment!"
The old man sighed slightly and murmured: "The Great Xia Dynasty still has to rely on yourself!"
There was silence for a moment.
As if remembering something, the old man suddenly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Qin Jie's kid is extremely arrogant. He has been in power for two hundred years. Although he knew about my existence, he never asked me for help. I didn't expect this kid's His temper is even more proud..."
"However, now that these three guys wake up, it is not that easy to subdue them!"
A teasing smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he said to himself: "When you can't restrain these three guys later, I will help you!"
"Although the boy who practices swordsmanship is also pretty good, these three guys are all at the peak of god transformation..."
…
"Your Majesty, it's on the third floor!"
When he reached the second floor, Li Xiaoyao glanced around slightly, and then he cupped his hands towards Qin Wuhen.
Hearing this, Qin Wuhen nodded slightly and continued walking towards the third floor.
When we reached the third floor, the door opened wide.
In the magnificent hall, there is a statue of the Immortal Emperor. In front of the statue, there is a three-foot-square Yaotai.
On the floor in front of Yaotai, three figures were sitting cross-legged.
Qin Wuhen had seen these three people in his memory, and it turned out that they were the three gods in the transformation stage who followed Qin Jie to the border ten days ago and returned seriously injured!
The one in the middle is an old man with pale beard and hair, with white eyebrows reaching to his neck. His skin is dry and wrinkled.
This person's name is Taoist Baimei. He ranks first in strength among the eight original worshippers. He has reached the peak of divine transformation a hundred years ago. He is a strong casual cultivator recruited by Qin Jie from Daxia!
Sitting on the left and right sides were two middle-aged men with very similar faces. Their black eyebrows flew into their temples, showing no anger or authority!
The two are twin brothers, majoring in swordsmanship. The elder brother is named Zhao Xuan, and the younger brother is named Zhao Ming. They form the Xuanming Sword King!
The two were not originally from the Daxia Dynasty. They were hunted into Daxia a hundred years ago. They were rescued by Qin Jie and later volunteered to join the Enshrinement Hall.
As for the cultivation level of the two people, Qin Wuhen didn't know much about it, because these two people rarely took action and only obeyed the orders of Qin Jie.
"Your Majesty, all three of them are at the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyao's voice suddenly came to his ears.
Qin Wuhen nodded calmly and walked straight into the door.
As if they heard the movement, the three people who had closed their eyes to rest slowly opened their eyes.
But looking at Qin Wuhen who walked straight in, the three of them did not speak, nor did they stand up to salute.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
Although the enshrinement hall was above all officials and had no hierarchy, it was still subject to royal power and was under the jurisdiction of the Xia king.
When the three of them saw His Majesty, they didn't stand up to salute. What did they mean?
Qin Wuhen's eyes also moved slightly, feeling something unusual.
But thinking that the three of them were injured while protecting the late king, Qin Wuhen suppressed his thoughts for the time being and did not care too much about the matter.
"It's really gratifying that the three worshipers have come out of confinement. I wonder how they are recovering from their injuries?"
Walking straight to the three of them, Qin Wuhen smiled slightly and said a word of concern.
"Thank you for your concern, His Majesty the Crown Prince, I'll be fine waiting for you!" The old man sitting in the middle said in a neutral tone.
Still not standing up?
Li Xiaoyao frowned and stepped forward: "Your Majesty has ascended the throne a long time ago and is now the thirteenth King of Xia!"
"oh?"
Taoist Baimei raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Qin Wuhen and said, "When did His Highness ascend the throne? Why don't we know?"
"How outrageous! When will His Majesty ascend the throne? Do I still need to report to you?"
With a scolding, Li Xiaoyao suddenly stood up, looked at the three of them sharply, and shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived, and you haven't gotten up to pay homage. Do you want to rebel?!"
The expressions of the three people changed, their brows furrowed slightly, and their cold eyes looked at Li Xiaoyao at the same time.
Zhao Xuan, one of the Xuanming Sword King, said in a cold tone: "While we are talking to His Highness the Crown Prince, when will it be your turn for one of the accompanying guards to interrupt!"
The words just fell!
A huge momentum suddenly surged out, pressing towards Li Xiaoyao!
