Emperor Zhou stroked the cold armrest of the dragon chair, trying to ease the turmoil in his heart.
Not far away, Hong Canshang stood there, his figure like a green pine, as calm as before.
But between his brows, there was a trace of lingering gloom.
"Before this duel, old guys like Ji He and Yun Zhongqi were afraid that they would wait for Su Yi to lose and take advantage of the situation. Who would have thought that Su Yi... actually won?"
After a long time, Emperor Zhou sighed softly, "And the victory was so beautiful, so calm, and not even injured at all. This must make Jihe, Yun Zhongqi and the others very disappointed, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at Hong Canshang and said with great interest: "National Master, what do you think Su Hongli is thinking at this moment?"
Hong Canshang shook his head and said: "Su Hongli is no longer the Su Hongli he was before. I can't understand his thoughts."
After a pause, he mused: "But one thing is for sure. The strength Su Yi showed today at Jiuji Mountain must have exceeded Su Hongli's expectations, and he did not dare to ignore it."
Emperor Zhou nodded and asked again: "Then tell me, when the fourth day of May comes, who among the father and son will have the last laugh?"
Hearing this, Hong Canshang looked at Emperor Zhou with a pair of pale golden eyes and said: "On which side your Majesty stands, that side has a greater chance of winning."
Emperor Zhou sighed softly and said, "It would be great if things could be so simple."
"Your Majesty, please see the eldest prince."
A high-pitched and respectful voice sounded outside the hall.
"Let him in."
As Zhou Huang spoke, he glanced at Hong Canshang and said, "Look, even those old guys were alarmed by this incident."
Hong Shenshang was silent.
Not long after, a young man wearing a gray robe and as handsome as jade walked into the hall, bowed and said, "I have met my father!"
The young man has the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, and his hair is tied up in a Taoist bun. He is handsome and elegant.
It was none other than the eldest prince Zhou Zhiqian.
A mysterious prince even in the royal family.
The reason is that he was sent to Yinlong Mountain to practice cultivation since he was a child. Over the years, he has almost never appeared and rarely walked in the world.
"You are finally willing to come see me."
Emperor Zhou's eyes were complicated.
When this eldest son was still in his infancy, he was noticed by a group of Hidden Dragons who believed that he was extremely gifted and born extraordinary, and that he was a good candidate for spiritual practice.
So, before the full moon was over, Zhou Zhiqian was picked up and taken to Yinlong Mountain where the Yinlong Man lived to practice.
Twenty-five years have passed in a flash.
In these years, even the current Emperor Zhou, as his father, saw Zhou Zhiqian only a handful of times.
At this time, seeing the eldest son, who was so handsome and elegant, silent and silent, Emperor Zhou couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart.
This is the gap.
Even though they are father and son, they are as distant as a monarch and his ministers when they meet!
"Tell me, why did you come?"
Emperor Zhou asked.
Zhou Zhiqian then said: "Reporting to my father, the great elder invites you to go to Yinlong Mountain to meet you."
Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "What did the Great Elder do?"
Zhou Zhiqian fell silent.
Emperor Zhou snorted coldly: "As my biological flesh and blood, you don't even dare to tell me this little thing?"
His expression was gloomy and his anger burst out, making the atmosphere in the hall extremely depressing.
Zhou Zhiqian seemed completely unaware, and said calmly: "I dare not overstep the instructions of the great elder."
Seeing what Emperor Zhou wanted to say, Hong Canshang already said: "Your Majesty, don't embarrass the child. Since the elder has something to invite,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You can find out if you go there for yourself."
Emperor Zhou sighed loudly, waved his hand and said: "You go, go back and tell the great elder that I will go see him in an hour."
Zhou Zhiqian cupped his fists in greeting and turned around to leave.
From beginning to end, he adhered to the etiquette of a courtier, but seeing it in the eyes of Emperor Zhou made him feel a faint pain in his heart.
"If you want to practice cultivation, you have to cut off the relationship between father and son? How can there be such a ruthless way in this world!"
Emperor Zhou was angry.
Hong Canshang said softly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Compared with father and son Su Hongli and Su Yi, they are not bad."
Emperor Zhou was startled for a moment and laughed at himself: "I have to say that there is one thing about Su Hongli that I admire the most. He dares to kill his wife and his son. He is even more ruthless than me as an emperor."
Hong Shenshang said: "Your Majesty, I think what you should be concerned about now is what those royal hidden dragons are going to do."
Emperor Zhou sneered: "What else can I do? It's naturally about Su Yi! If it's not what I expected, they must be eyeing Su Yi's fate!"
Hong Shengshang asked again: "Then how will your Majesty make a decision?"
Emperor Zhou stood up from the Dragon Throne with a deep look in his eyes: "In the eyes of the world, I am the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, dominating the world, with immeasurable glory, but who knows that there is a heavy mountain pressing on my head?"
The voice was full of resentment, "If it weren't for this mountain, why would I have been trapped in the realm of the Xiantian Wuzong for twenty years?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the dragon chair behind him and said in a cold tone: "They told me that as long as I sit on this chair, I must give up the idea of cultivation and enlightenment."
"They also told me that building the Tao with the faith of all living beings will definitely affect Zuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty will also be trapped by the faith of all living beings."
His eyes were deep and full of hatred, "But they have been practicing on Yinlong Mountain all these years with the power of faith in all living beings day and night!"
"This is not enough, I have to act as a puppet to help them collect the cultivation resources in the world!"
The face of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty became gloomy and terrifying, "Isn't it too greedy to use the wealth of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the trust of all living beings to worship them, the Hidden Dragons, to realize their pursuit on the road?" !?"
The sound shook the hall.
Hong Canshang remained silent.
He knew that this was the heart disease of Emperor Zhou. From the day he ascended the Dragon Throne, it was like a thorn in his heart, and it has accumulated to this day.
After a while, Emperor Zhou took a deep breath and said with flashing eyes: "If they want to mix in, just let them mix in!"
At this moment, a sentence came into Hong Shengshang's mind:
"Two dogs fight, play off."
…
Songfeng Villa.
A banquet is going on.
Zhenyue Wang Muxi, Puyi, Jiang Tanyun, Lu Changfeng and others were present. They drank and chatted with Su Yi, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
But when facing Su Yi, these famous beings all subconsciously showed respect from the bottom of their hearts.
To others, today's battle was something that could shock the world.
But for those of them standing on Su Yi's big ship, it is undoubtedly proved that their decision was correct!
It is true that there are still many extremely powerful beings in Yujing City who regard Su Yi as their enemies, but Mu Xi and the others are no longer as worried about Su Yi as they were before!
During the conversation, Su Yi also learned that after practicing the "Dongyou Xuanyang Sutra" taught by him, Mu Xi was only one step away from entering the realm of land gods.
This is naturally a happy event.
By the time the banquet ended, it was already late at night.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Mu Xi and others said goodbye and left.
Su Yi returned to his room, sat in front of his desk, holding the ancient silver snow sword and fell into deep thought.
Today when he was dueling with You Tianhong on the Guanhai Ping at the top of Jiuji Mountain, he noticed an unusual fluctuation of the secret treasure.
That trace of fluctuation was extremely secretive, as if it was trying to pry into the secrets within itself.
Fortunately, this kind of spying failed, and was shattered by the breath of the Nine Hell Sword sitting in his soul, disintegrating into nothingness.
Although this was a small episode, it made Su Yi wary and realized that someone on Jiuji Mountain today had tried to take the opportunity to spy on his secrets!
"is it him……"
In Su Yi's mind, he recalled the scene of a distant confrontation with Su Hongli under Qingqi Mountain outside the city a few days ago.
At that time, there were people hiding in the dark and using secret techniques to try to spy on his aura.
And today, something similar happened!
It's just that the power of spying comes from an extremely magical secret treasure, which even caused the Nine Hell Sword to react immediately.
"If that's really the person next to Su Hongli, I'm afraid Su Hongli has begun to suspect that I have a trump card, right?"
Su Yi was thoughtful.
Everyone in the world thinks that Su Yi has a great destiny. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have the power to kill land gods with his master level cultivation.
This is naturally an extremely ridiculous realization.
However, if it is true that he has good fortune, then it is indeed true.
With his 18,000 years of cultivation experience in his previous life and the various Taoist scriptures he has mastered, just taking out one at random can trigger a bloody storm on this blue continent.
Unfortunately, this wisdom is different from previous life experiences and fortune, so it is destined to be impossible to be taken away.
As for him, the real trump card is probably the Nine Hell Sword!
This Taoist sword has a mysterious origin. Even when he was at his peak in his previous life, he could not deduce the secrets contained in it.
At that time, his great disciple Bhimo believed that he, Su Xuanjun, had achieved enlightenment with this sword, and had gradually become respected in the Great Wilderness.
His young apprentice Qingtang believed that this sword contained great blessings and was the most precious treasure of Su Xuanjun. For this reason, he did not hesitate to open the coffin left by him after his reincarnation just to get this sword.
What's sad is that they don't know that even themselves, who were regarded as gods by them at the time, were unable to decipher the secrets in this sword...
So far, Su Yi is certain of only one thing:
Each of the nine divine chain seals suppressed by the Nine Hell Sword has its own origin!
When he was practicing the Sutra of Self-Transformation, he had captured the auras emitted by the nine divine chain seals, each of which was completely different.
The existence of the Nine Hell Sword is to suppress the seals of these nine divine chains!
In addition, whenever Su Yi Xiu achieves a true transformation, the Nine Hell Sword will resonate and strange power fluctuations will emerge.
This kind of strange power can be integrated into his cultivation, allowing him to produce the most extreme changes in the foundation of the avenue at the moment of breakthrough.
For example, when he was cultivating the "Hidden Veins" and other great secrets at Soseki's residence in Gunzhou, he blended with the aura of the Nine Hell Sword, which caused an unprecedented strange phenomenon.
At that time, there seemed to be a galaxy of stars falling into the world!
That time also allowed Su Yi to refine an unimaginable "hidden vein", completely exceeding his original expectations!
Because of this, Su Yicai came to a conclusion:
The existence of the Nine Hell Sword can help you refine the most ultimate Dao foundation when your cultivation level breaks through!
