"Eunuch Cao, I have admired your name for a long time, but it's a pity..."
What a pity, Qin Fan did not say anything, but looked at the other party's increasingly kind smile, and the man in linen clothes beside him silently took two steps forward.
The famous governor of Dongchang felt bursts of cold sweat break out from his forehead.
He had seen the scene of Huineng being captured alive. He had just received half a punch from the bloody corpse, so he had enough confidence. As long as the bloody corpse dared to take action, he would dare to die here.
As for whether Qin Fan would make such a decision that would harm the alliance between Daxuan Dynasty and Wangyou Ghost City, he was really not sure.
Even at this moment, he found many reasons why Qin Fan could reasonably solve his problem.
Then he gave a wry smile, raised his hands in a big salute again, and took the initiative to explain without waiting for the other party to ask:
"As a master of the Celestial Realm, Hui Neng is naturally among the targets that the Daxuan Dynasty focuses on. Recently, the court has reached a certain tacit understanding with the Taoist realm and the Buddhist realm, so it gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it.
And when I noticed that the other party was coming to the prince's territory, I was worried that he would be harmful to the prince, so I followed him secretly.
It's just that the prince's bodyguard is too powerful. When I was about to risk my life to help, Huineng was easily eliminated by him. If I take the initiative to show up at this time, it may cause the prince to misunderstand.
In the end, this misunderstanding still occurred..."
Qin Fan only listened to half of what Cao Zhengchun said.
That is the tacit understanding reached between the Daxuan Dynasty and the Dao Realm and the Buddha Land.
According to the information he received, the imperial court was very angry at first for the Taoist and Buddhist lands that chose to seal off the territory and split the land.
However, after the Six Paths Army's battles with the Buddhist soldiers and Taoist soldiers showed a stalemate, the Daxuan Dynasty's offensive also gradually slowed down.
Nowadays, each of the Six Paths legions is stationed at the border between the east and west states, and some small-scale battles still break out from time to time, but no top masters have set foot on the battlefield.
This should be the tacit understanding that the other party said cannot be put on the table.
After all, for the Daxuan Dynasty, the first enemy to be eradicated was King Wuwei, who had long been in trouble, and the second was the Northern Barbarian royal family that was causing trouble in the northeastern capital.
It can also be concluded from this move that the Daxuan Dynasty does not have the strength to wage war on multiple parties at the same time. Therefore, for the King of Zhennan who is the only one who has made his position clear, the other party will naturally not be stupid enough to join forces with Fotu to attack him. Put yourself to death.
Because only Qin Fan's ghost market can contain the southwest and southeast prefectures, and even attract a wave of hatred from the Buddha Land to a certain extent. And the most important point is that he can resist it in the first place. Live in the wilderness beast country hidden in the southern dangerous land.
Even though both Qin Fan and Emperor Xuan knew that their alliance was just to use each other, and conflicts would inevitably break out later, in the short term, the two sides were indeed reliable allies who could give each other a certain amount of trust.
So what Cao Zhengchun said before is true.
Otherwise, Xiaofeng, who is most sensitive to malice, would have started pointing the knife at the opponent.
So what is the purpose of the other party following Huineng all the way to this dangerous place in the south?
From the punch of the bloody corpse just now, Qin Fan tested out a result. Cao Zhengchun was much stronger than Huineng. The latter was beaten half to death by the punch without even having time to react, while the former could release the gang immediately. Air shield.
】
Even if he only blocked the blood corpse's fist for a second, the difference in strength was already huge.
Qin Fan then thought about the envoy group that was about to come to the ghost market, and Qin Fan had some guesses.
That is, Cao Zhengchun relied on the Daxuan Dynasty's intelligence network to realize Huineng's plan, and wanted to use this as an opportunity to save his life at a critical moment.
Compared with before, Qin Fan believed that when the envoys arrived, they would use the power of the Celestial Realm to overpower his own side, thereby confirming to the world that King Zhennan was always under Emperor Xuan, and could even force him to officially start a war with the two neighboring states. , this method of giving favor is undoubtedly more clever!
And if you want to repay this life-saving grace, it cannot be easily repaid with a promise of your body.
Then, through this kindness, I had to accept some requests that seemed not too practical but dug holes everywhere.
Otherwise, a monarch who can even ignore the favor of saving his life would have no face to rule a state, and even more prestige to convince his subordinates.
However, this also led Qin Fan to come to the conclusion that this move should not have come from Emperor Xuan. The other party should have known about Qin Zun's existence. In this case, he would not have made such an unnecessary move.
Then the smile on Qin Fan's face became more gentle and kind, because after guessing the other party's plan, Qin Fan discovered an interesting place.
That's why only Cao Zhengchun came, not Zhuge Zhengwo, or even the combination of Cao Zhengchun and Zhuge Zhengwo.
After all, it is a big deal to be able to save the life of the King of Zhennan. With this kindness, I will get more help from myself to a certain extent.
"Eunuch Cao, you are interested."
Cao Zhengchun, who originally had some cold sweat on his forehead, now felt that his back was soaked with sweat. He just looked at Qin Fan and felt that his plan was completely seen through by the other party.
At this moment, Qin Fan said some seemingly unrelated words that actually verified what he was thinking.
"Although Sima Kongming is a traitor, his death at my hands as the chief arrester of the Six Doors still caused many people within the Six Doors to be dissatisfied with me.
Now His Majesty has handed over the affairs of the Jianghu to the joint responsibility of Liumen and Dongchang. There is no clear distinction between the priorities, but in my heart, I naturally prefer that Eunuch Cao can take the dominant position.
After all, Nanxuanzhou Mansion seems to be my territory now, but some people from Jiuzhou Escort Agency, Six Gates, Tianji Tower, and the following Dongchang will be arranged to settle there.
I don't think there's anything wrong with this, because I, the King of Zhennan, am also the King of Daxuan, but it would be bad if someone took the opportunity to make some small moves and deliberately cause some conflicts. "
Even though he was an expert in the Celestial Realm, Cao Zhengchun still maintained a respectful salute and said:
"The prince is joking. Although some people in the court still criticize the prince, they will never dare to use this to cause trouble in the prince's territory. Even Liumen and my Dongchang are the same."
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun had confirmed that his plan had been discovered by Qin Fan.
At the same time, it also made the other party aware that Liumenmen and Dongchang seemed to be on the same page, but there were still some competitive relationships between them that could not be made explicit.
However, he also concluded from these words that Qin Fan was biased toward him.
Even though the chief arrester of the six gates, Zhuge Zhengwo, was pushed out by Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Market, Qin Fan was more optimistic about himself as the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Market.
This was actually one of the reasons why he secretly hid the news from Zhuge Zhengyi, and even used all the power of Dongchang to block Huineng's news, and followed him to Xuanyang Domain.
But now it seems that the goal should be achieved, but the dominant position has been lost.
And some words are enough here.
"Eunuch Cao, after Black Thirteen survives the catastrophe, I will also trigger the celestial phenomena. Please stand by to protect him and ensure that no second Huineng appears."
Qin Fan then walked aside and began to continue to study the "Secret of the Demon". He already felt that it would not take an hour for him to break through to the twelfth level this time.
Since there is no need to postpone the matter of overcoming the tribulation until tomorrow, with a ready-made thug here, it is actually safer to overcome the tribulation at this moment.
Cao Zhengchun wiped his cold sweat, nodded repeatedly, and then politely saluted everyone present.
"Clan Chief Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?
There is also the eldest elder of the Yuan family. This may be the first time we have met. "
"Palace Master Huang, Brother Wang, although I have never met you, I have heard of the name of Suzaku Palace for a long time."
"Lord Yan City, oh, no, it should be called Yanzhou Mu now, and General Mo, it has been hard to guard the dangerous area in the south these years."
"Brother Ghost, do you still remember the time you assassinated a fourth-stall boss of our East Factory twenty years ago? I would say that was a good killing. This man was corrupt and violated the law and should die as a knight like Brother Ghost." In the hands of righteous people!”
"This is the legendary Ye Shuai, and he is also the fourth on this Hidden Dragon List. He is really charming and talented.
No wonder there is a rumor in the world that once you see Ye Shuai, you will be mistaken for life. "
"Young Master Shui, that sword master battle between you and King Wuwei's second adopted son Yu Gucheng on the top of the Sword Mountain was really dazzling!"
"Mr. Liu, do you still remember the chance encounter in the restaurant thirty-five years ago? The bottle of Sangluo wine you and I drank at that time has never been forgotten. However, although the wine is good, it is not as good as Mr. Liu, my close friend. Hard-to-find drinking buddies are even more precious.”
"Clan Chief Gongsun, judging from my memory, I should call him Elder Gongsun now.
The Gongsun family was once known as the family closest to the eight major families. Unfortunately, it was assassinated by villains. But now that Elder Gongsun has followed the prince, it will not take long for the Gongsun family to reach its former heyday. "
"This friend with a somewhat strange appearance... must be a talent newly recruited by the ghost market. If you choose to take refuge with the prince, you must meet the Ming Lord!" (Here is the disguised version of the "Secret of the Demon" with the luck envoy. Dialogue with Zhang Guyen.)
"Young Master Feng, who is ranked second on the Hidden Dragon List, your injury is quite serious. I have a life-returning elixir that was personally refined by the master of the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion. This is currently one of the few healing elixirs that reaches the desolate level.
It seems that I am half responsible for your injury. If I hadn't been a step too late in taking action, you wouldn't have been so seriously injured. Please accept this elixir. "
After Feng Mo woke up, he took the life-returning pill in a daze. Now that he has obtained the secondary permissions given by Qin Fan, when he gets some items, interface information will also pop up in front of him, so he doesn't have to worry about the other party's presence. Among them, a hidden hand was used.
After looking at Qin Fan who nodded slightly, Feng Mo directly swallowed the Life-Returning Pill and began to concentrate on dissolving the power of the medicine.
He had a feeling that although he had withstood the power given by Xiaofeng this time, which caused him to almost die, during this period, his mental power was also tempered to the limit. It was already too late to condense the seed of the soul and achieve the pseudo-celestial realm. ruler.
At this moment, Qin Fan, who was studying "The Secret of the Heavenly Demon" and using some mental energy to observe Cao Zhengchun, couldn't help but secretly admire the other person's communication skills.
You must know that Cao Zhengchun is a master of the Celestial Realm after all, and according to his estimation, he should be one of the strong ones who have accumulated enough experience in the past to reach the middle or even late stage of the Celestial Realm in one fell swoop.
But when facing the Grandmaster Realm warriors in the Ghost City, there was no trace of arrogance. Even for the sake of Qin Fan and the bloody corpses who had been following him silently, he would not be so polite.
But I have to say that with Cao Zhengchun's greetings, the originally tense atmosphere was easily resolved.
Cao Zhengchun breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that Feng Mo had swallowed the life-returning pill after receiving Qin Fan's instruction.
Even though he was followed behind by the man in linen who could cripple him with one punch and kill him with three punches, he felt a lot more relaxed.
As for Xiao Feng and the man in sackcloth, he originally wanted to be polite to them, but the kid among them had already fallen asleep on Feng Mo's lap, and the man in sackcloth didn't seem like he would pay attention to him. So he didn't ask for trouble.
He was actually very curious about the true identities of Xiao Feng and Xue Zhi, but he would not be stupid enough to use his mental power to test them.
After finally clearing up the misunderstanding with Qin Fan, if he makes some excessive behavior at this time, Cao Zhengchun can guarantee that the old man behind him will definitely give him a blow as soon as possible.
Therefore, he did not discover that the bloody corpse was actually a puppet.
Then he saw that Black Thirteen had begun to overcome the seventh calamity. After thinking about it, Cao Zhengchun decided to properly expose some valuable information.
"Everyone, among the eight heavenly tribulations, the most dangerous one is the last one, the inner demon tribulation."
As soon as these words came out, many great masters present immediately pricked up their ears. However, Huang Tiangui, Liu Yao, Yue Piaoling and Qin Fan, who had known the relevant information early on, felt something was wrong.
Because based on the information they received, the eighth calamity, the inner demon calamity, was actually the easiest calamity to survive. Even if it failed, it would only be a month of lying in bed.
Of course, as acting masters, their expressions did not show any change, and they just listened silently as Cao Zhengchun continued to talk.
And with Black Thirteen's ear power, he naturally heard what Cao Zhengchun said. At this moment, he used some mental energy to pay attention to the other party's next words.
"The inner demon tribulation is divided into eighteen levels of illusion. Those who have passed through the tenth level of illusion are considered to have barely survived, but they will be more or less affected. Only those who have perfectly passed through the eighteen levels of illusion can counterattack. Come and devour your inner demons.
As for a person who has not passed through the first ten illusions, although he will not die on the spot, he will slowly lose his self-awareness and become a cripple without sanity.
In fact, the reason why Hui Neng is so eager to take action against the prince is that he is a person who can survive the tenth level of illusion. Therefore, in order to ensure the existence of his true self, he must use any means to strengthen his obsession. . "
