Standing on top of Centipede's head, Xu Shanru looked at the dark clouds gradually receding, his expression gloomy. Spirit stones are a cultivation resource that they, the great monks who have cultivated the soul, rely on very much!
Very valuable. Moreover, obtaining spiritual stones is also quite difficult. The birth of the spirit stone is related to something called the incense contract.
The so-called incense contract means that once a practitioner has cultivated his soul, he can choose a place to sign a contract with his soul.
As long as the contract technique is completed, when human beings exist on this land, the power of incense will be generated.
The power of incense can be condensed into a stone with spiritual power on the contract formation, which is a spiritual stone. The larger the land a cultivator controls and the more human beings he owns, the more powerful the incense will be, and the more spiritual stones he will eventually get!
This is one of the reasons why Xu Shanru tacitly allowed Pang Yun and others to participate in the demon-slayer Qi Fei's rebellion plan.
If it is revealed through this incident that Yan Beichen, who has not been seen for a long time, has died, the land within the Great Yan Kingdom will be an ownerless land!
Then Xu Shanru can occupy this area and sign an incense contract with this country on behalf of Yan Beichen, thereby obtaining more spiritual stones and increasing his luck and fortune.
However, now that we know that Yan Beichen is still in the world, we can't act rashly, at least we can't blatantly turn against this person.
It's just that for some unknown reason, Yan Beichen avoided others so much, refusing to show his true face even if he did not hesitate to use the Yuan Shen Fu Technique... This made Xu Shanru very puzzled.
"Is... he is cultivating some powerful magical power?... Or is he about to break through the bottleneck?!" When he thought of this, his face became even more ugly.
How difficult is it for people who have cultivated to their level to break through the bottleneck? However, once a breakthrough is achieved, the cultivation strength will definitely be different!
If that is really the case, I am afraid that the distribution of power in this vast mountain and river will change! Then... we should not offend Yan Beichen easily... Xu Shanru, standing above Centipede's head, had a gloomy face, silently meditating.
Three hundred thousand spirit stones are not a small amount... However, it is not easy to train someone with sword master skills... What's more, the three hundred thousand are handed over not only to redeem people, but also to do something to Yan. A kind of goodwill gesture from Beichen.
This time, it was indeed their Sword Immortal Kingdom's fault, and it was only natural that they should pay the price for their mistakes.
After thinking about it again and again, Xu Shanru's eyes flickered. Then he tapped the centipede's head, causing it to turn around.
The giant centipede twists and turns. With a roar, he flew away towards the way he came, and disappeared without a trace not long after.
In an instant, the sky cleared after the rain in Xuefeng City. It was as if nothing had happened... At this moment, it was already past the due time.
However, for nearly a whole day, the palace of Prince Yan had already turned into a mess. There is no other reason.
Because King Yan is missing! ...Since the heavy rain at Mao Shi, no one has seen King Yan again.
Is this a big deal? For a monarch to disappear like this would definitely cause a sensation. Queen Liu, Princess Huo, and nine princes and dignitaries began to mobilize all forces to investigate the whereabouts of His Majesty King Yan last night.
Check this. I immediately learned that His Majesty King Yan went to the Golden Summit Palace last night! Been to Tulku Cave! So the queen and princes summoned the palace guards, Xia Lin and Du Ning, who were on duty outside the Golden Dome Hall of Zugudong last night.
Unfortunately, I only saw Xia Lin, but Du Ning was nowhere to be found. After interrogation, Xia Lin confessed that King Yan stayed in Zugu Cave until the fourth watch.
Then King Yan came out and ordered that three hundred palace guards should be summoned. Xia Lin confessed that he was ordered to summon the palace guards to the Golden Summit Palace.
He didn't know what happened next. In fact, when he spoke, he deliberately held back... and did not tell all the facts.
Xia Lin didn't tell the queen and princes about Yan Huanren's strange eyes! Because he felt that even if he said it, others might not believe it.
Maybe you will get killed because of this! In addition, King Yan has been missing for a whole day... which already indicates that things are abnormal... After receiving Xia Lin's confession, the queen and prince immediately investigated the barracks.
Sure enough, three hundred palace guards were indeed dispatched to the Golden Summit Palace last night. However, there were actually 299 people who went, and one person came back.
And this person is Zhang Yan! So, the queen, princess and princes captured Zhang Yan for interrogation.
Kneeling under the queen's palace and being scrutinized by a group of princes and dignitaries, Zhang Yan felt very nervous. Plus, he was scared.
Because in the morning, in the courtyard of the Golden Dome Palace, he saw a scene that he would never forget!
At that time, the courtyard shrouded in rain was dark and crowded with people. The figures stood together, motionless and silent.
Although he couldn't see the faces clearly, Zhang Yan could immediately tell by looking at their clothes and armor that these people were the palace guards who came under the summons order!
Those palace guards were exuding the same dark mist as in the sky. The mist and dark clouds reflected each other, attracting and blending with each other.
Then, the voice of King Yan was heard in the courtyard. One word came out.
"Get up!" As the word fell to the ground, dark clouds quickly fell from the sky. The dark clouds and black energy turned into horses of dark mist!
The palace guards hunched up, flew into the clouds and rain in the sky, and quickly disappeared! And, what is even more strange is that King Yan disappeared together with the strange palace guards... At that time, Zhang Yan thought he was dazzled and had hallucinations.
It was only now that he was being interrogated by the queen and dignitaries and found out that His Majesty King Yan had been missing for a whole day! This shows that the bizarre scene I saw at that time was not an illusion, but a fact.
So Zhang Yan quickly stated in detail what he saw and heard outside the Golden Summit Palace in the morning.
The group of royal dignitaries were very surprised when they heard this bizarre statement. But after being surprised, they immediately realized a possibility!
The ancestors in the ancestral cave may have appeared! It must be because of the recent incident in which the Demon Slayers from the Demon Suppressing Division colluded with the Sword Immortal Kingdom in an attempt to rebel. His Majesty King Yan asked his ancestors for help and has already received a response!
After thinking of this possibility, the queen, princess and many princes were overjoyed. They decided to rush to the Golden Dome Palace immediately to see what happened.
Maybe you will be lucky enough to take this opportunity to get guidance from your ancestors. However, at this time. In the sky above Yanwang Palace, dark clouds gathered again in the blink of an eye!
Just like at 9 o'clock this morning, suddenly large dark clouds appeared in the sky, covering the sky and covering the sun.
Immediately afterwards, it rained heavily! The queen, princess and many princes who were walking on the palace street hurriedly found a place to take shelter from the rain.
They hid under the palace and looked toward the sky. I saw black clouds over the city, darkness, and suddenly the day turned into night!
The fog is rolling in and the rain is getting heavier. But soon, the queen and others discovered some clues.
Although the dark clouds in the sky are hovering over the entire Yan Palace, the rolling clouds are shrinking and gathering towards a place in the palace at a speed visible to the naked eye!
And the direction in which the dark clouds rolled over was the Golden Summit Hall where the Zugu Cave was located!
