Although Qin Chong had thought of this possibility before, seeing the witch's face again now made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.
No wonder the witch was always unwilling to reveal her true identity on her way to heaven.
But what surprised Qin Chong even more was that although the second princess Shang Zhiruo looked the same as the witch, her aura was completely different.
If it weren't for the ancient demonic energy in Qin Chong's body, and he could sense the slightest movement of the demonic energy in Shang Zhiruo's body, he would have suspected that they were the witch's twin sisters.
Moreover, at this time, the witch did not wear any veil or mask, and her appearance was as pure as a holy fairy.
There is no connection between it and magic.
I have to say that women are really good at disguising themselves.
"Meet the princess!"
In the main hall, everyone bowed and saluted.
The two princes also looked stunned when they saw Shang Zhiruo.
Because they knew better than anyone else that Shang Zhiruo had been frail since childhood, and even the emperor had sought treatment from an elixir doctor from the Ancient Immortal Sect, but there was no good solution.
Three years ago, Shang Zhiruo, who was extremely weak, was forced to go into seclusion. They all thought that from that moment on, they would never see Shang Zhiruo again.
This birthday party might just be Shang Zhiruo's reflection and farewell to the world.
But now, they discovered that Shang Zhiruo's cultivation level was at least in the holy realm, and his complexion did not look weak at all.
This, what's going on! ?
"Everyone get up!"
At this moment, Shang Zhiruo's long skirt was spread on the floor, she came to Xu Jin with a sweet smile, bowed slightly and said, "Meet Uncle Xu."
"Tsk, tsk, is the second girl recovering from her illness? Hahaha, ok, ok, I didn't come here in vain today!"
Xu Jin waved his hand and asked her to get up.
"Lao Ba, in that case, you should be responsible for hosting the birthday banquet!" Xu Jin looked at the Eight Wise Kings and said.
"Hahaha, okay!"
The Eight Sages also laughed loudly, then looked at Shang Zhiruo and said, "Niece, what program has the princess mansion prepared?"
"Or is it arranged by this king?"
"This time the Princess Mansion only prepared wine, food, and fruits, all for the royal family." Shang Zhiruo smiled, but suddenly said: "As for the program, my niece also has special arrangements."
When her voice fell, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on her.
Second princess, did you arrange any special programs?
"Oh!? What are your niece's plans?" The Eighth Sage King also asked in surprise.
Now that Shang Zhiruo suddenly held a birthday party, what else could he do? !
"Everyone."
At this time, Shang Zhiruo raised his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said: "Now in my house, there are as many talented people as crucian carp, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to compete?"
"Competition!?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
I never thought that the arrangement mentioned by the princess would actually be like this! ?
However, now in the city lord's palace, all the princes are indeed present.
It can be said that the most powerful geniuses of Dashang’s generation are all gathered here.
And Gu Jiancheng, Dugu Yan and others couldn't help but look at the second princess.
The competition between the geniuses can only refer to them, the Imperial Sons of the Imperial College.
"That's right!"
Shang Zhiruo nodded, and immediately raised his hand, an ancient picture appeared, and then slowly unfolded in the center of the hall.
The ancient picture is filled with the ancient aura of the magic weapon, and the aura is extremely strong. It is by no means an ordinary magic weapon.
"This treasure is called the Wangchuan Picture, and it contains the universe."
As Shang Zhiruo's voice sounded, numerous mountains suddenly appeared in the Wangchuan map, and in the center of the mountains, an ancient pool filled with spiritual energy appeared.
"Three years ago, my father got a Nine-Turn Golden Lotus from the Ancient Immortal Sect for me and kept it in this lotus pond."
"The Nine-turn Golden Lotus has now been refined by me, but the remaining water has turned into the legendary Morning Dew Lotus Pond. The water in the pond absorbs the essence of the aura of heaven and earth and the stars, and has the power to cleanse the scriptures, cut the marrow, and improve cultivation. effect."
"So, today I set up the water of this lotus pond as a reward. All the geniuses can enter this Ten Thousand Rivers Map and compete for the water of the lotus pond. I believe that all the evil masters will be very interested."
At this moment, when Shang Zhiruo's voice fell, all the warriors in the hall took a breath.
Because the words of the second princess contained too much information!
Nine-turn golden lotus, the ancient fairy gate.
No one knew that three years ago, the emperor actually begged for such a legendary treasure for the sake of the second princess! ?
Nine-turn Golden Lotus is an ancient medicine that surpasses the Holy Emperor level.
But now, even the remaining morning dew lotus pond is indeed of extraordinary value.
Cleansing the scriptures and severing the marrow is enough to improve the talent of the princes, not to mention the energy contained in it, which can make their cultivation level skyrocket.
At this moment, even Qin Chong couldn't help but feel moved.
Although it is just the water of a lotus pond, it cannot promote the Huangtian Emperor's body to the second level, but it can at least make his cultivation level skyrocket!
Therefore, he is bound to get the water of the lotus pond!
"Your Highness, make up the rules!"
At this time, Gu Jiancheng was the first to stand up, with a slightly excited look on his face.
Compared with the hatred with Qin Chong, today's morning dew lotus pond is more important.
Although the other princes did not speak, their eyes were full of expectation.
"good!"
"Then let me explain the rules now. In this Wangchuan map, I have set up the ancient formation in advance. The ancient formation is divided into four roads, all of which can lead directly to Chaolu Lotus Pond. As long as you can defeat the puppets on the road, enter the lotus pond, and be the first Break the last restriction, enter it, and enjoy the water of the lotus pond to yourself, it's that simple."
Buzz!
Just when Shang Zhiruo's voice fell, the lotus pond in the picture was wrapped by the ancient forbidden magic circle.
Four forbidden roads are paved between the mountains and lead directly to the lotus pond.
"In this way, all the great business leaders can enter and choose a path." Shang Zhiruo sat down on the main seat and said calmly.
Breaking the ban? !
But at this time, Qin Chong couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
He had to suspect that this so-called lotus pond was prepared by the witch for him.
Looking at all the descendants of Dashang, except Wei Guanyin, whose restraint skills can match him?
Sure enough, Qin Chong had already felt Shang Zhiruo's cunning gaze suddenly looking at him. Although it was only for a moment, he could not escape his feeling.
Good guy, you can secretly give yourself this opportunity, but this witch insists on doing it! ?
Qin Chong didn't know what to say.
But he could also understand that the witch wanted to support him, and now this birthday party was the best stage.
Yesterday's imperial college exam was still too small. With only one prince taking the exam, it couldn't reflect his strength at all.
Moreover, she had specially divided the battle in Chaolu Lotus Pond into four paths to avoid a premature confrontation between him and Gu Jiancheng.
What a painstaking arrangement.
Buzz!
And just when everyone was in a daze, the feet of the First Prince Gu Jiancheng were shaking, and he had already rushed into the Wangchuan Map in advance and occupied one of the roads.
In his eyes, this opportunity was already within his grasp.
Buzz!
Just in the blink of an eye, Duguyan, the son of the second kingdom, Dongfang Chi, the son of the third kingdom, and Ouyang Qing, the son of the fourth kingdom, all entered the Wangchuan map.
Although they all know that they are not Gu Jiancheng's opponent, in this battle for the lotus pond, as long as they guarantee that they can reach the end of the road, there is a possibility of fighting for it.
There is no need to compete with Gu Jiancheng. In terms of talent for breaking the ban, no one will be intimidated.
After hesitating for a moment, the remaining princes walked into the Wangchuan Tu, and the one who attracted the most attention was naturally Yuan Kun.
He is currently ranked fifth in the Imperial Academy and is the only one who can affect the situation.
As the dark horse of the Imperial Academy, he also wanted to compete for the opportunity of Lotus Pond.
As long as he gets the water from the lotus pond, he can even try to reach the top three in the Imperial Academy, or even higher, in a short period of time!
As the strongest junior in the Northern Territory, his ambitions are extremely high.
In this way, without any hesitation, he led Yuan Zhan into the ancient map and landed on Ouyang Qing's path.
This road is relatively the easiest.
In the blink of an eye, all the Imperial Princes from the Imperial College entered the Wangchuan Map.
In the main hall, all the important figures in the imperial capital also began to discuss.
The rules set by the second princess made this fight full of suspense.
But just when he thought that the situation had been settled, a figure suddenly stood up from the table and walked towards Wangchuan Tu.
"Um!?"
This figure also instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Qin Chong! ?
Many forces, especially the Holy Emperors of the Imperial Academy, all had complicated expressions at this moment.
The chiefs of the Academy's Fourth Palace were all qualified to come to the Princess Mansion, but both Yu Wenye and Gu Dongliu were unable to attend due to injuries.
Although Su Jiuyou is one of the chief disciples, he does not have the strength to compete with Guozi.
Only Qin Chong has a special status. He is not only the chief of the Palace of War God, but also the son of the country.
He does have the qualifications to enter the Forgotten River Map to fight for the water of the lotus pond.
However, this person was almost thrown into a prison by the third prince just now. After offending almost all the forces in the imperial capital, he still wanted to be so extravagant at the princess's birthday banquet. It was really annoying.
"Qin Chong, as the chief of the God of War Palace, joins the battle to challenge!"
But Qin Chong didn't care what others thought. He sneered coldly, rushed into Wangchuan Tu, and landed on Yuan Kun's road.
Since the witch has already drawn up a script for him, he just has to act according to it.
In this way, all the sons of the Great Shang Kingdom participated in the war.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a grand competition in the Imperial Palace in a sense.
This also made everyone in the banquet hall curious.
In this competition, who can have the last laugh?
When Qin Chong appeared on the fourth road, Ouyang Qing and the Yuan brothers were also surprised.
But the next moment, looks of shock and anger suddenly appeared on their faces.
Obviously, in their hearts, Qin Chong is just the chief of the God of War Palace, is he worthy of appearing with them in the Wangchuan Map?
Moreover, the reason why Qin Chong chose this path was because he looked down on them.
"Brother, go to the lotus pond and leave this person to me!"
Yuan Zhanweng spoke loudly, then raised his hand and took out two ancient cyan maces, killing Qin Chong.
Although Qin Chong crushed Jin Yuchen yesterday, he still wanted to give it a try. Even if he just delayed Qin Chong, he could buy some time for Yuan Kun.
"Haha, that's ridiculous. Who do you think you are? You're not worthy of stopping me!"
Qin Chong smiled ferociously, and the moment he stepped forward, his physical aura set off a billowing wave of rage, as powerful as a mountain collapse.
Today, he has already participated in the struggle between the princes, so no one can stop him on this road!
