One hundred and thirtieth chapters familiar with ease
The sun shines slantingly.
The midsummer breeze passes through the open windows.
In the main hall of the Crown Prince's Mansion, Zhao Huaizhong sat in the main seat, and everyone below him lined up on both sides.
Black Crow was restrained and suppressed, kneeling on the ground, staring at Zhao Huaizhong with sinister eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "How did you know my whereabouts and let someone stop me at the border between Qin and Chu?"
Zhao Huaizhong ignored him.
He took action from a distance in the secret palace, not to compete with the black crow, but to create a trap.
Black Crow was injured by Dayue Ge's differentiated projection, and the energy of war entered his body, so naturally he could not escape Zhao Huaizhong's induction.
Afterwards, Black Crow was not defenseless. He had thoroughly searched his body, but Dayue Ge was an immortal soldier and obviously eluded his detection. Therefore, he thought over and over again and still didn't know what went wrong. Zhao Huaizhong got hold of his traces.
.
"Your Majesty, this is what I found from this demon."
Wang Jian took out an oval-shaped bone tool, which looked like the skull of some kind of bird. It was gray-white and less than the size of a fist.
The strange thing is that the surface of the skull is inscribed with incantations, and the inside can be used to store items, including the belongings of the Black Crow Demon King.
Zhao Huaizhong took it and raised his hand to take a picture.
I saw four or five things floating out of the empty eye sockets of the bird's skull.
A square tripod, undulating and shining, filled with fairy spirit.
However, Zhao Huaizhong soon realized that this was a fake created through blinding techniques.
With a flick of his hand, the patterns engraved on the cauldron disappeared, and it suddenly fell from the air and turned into an ordinary bronze vessel, without the fairy light anymore.
Some people who entered the secret palace and came out said they had seen an immortal cauldron floating deep in the secret palace, but this was actually a lie.
This cauldron is the bait used by the black crow to lure people into the secret palace of Yin and Shang.
"You demon clan is hiding in the dark and deliberately leading people into the secret palace in order to persecute my human cultivators?" Zhao Huaizhong asked.
"That's right."
Black Crow said calmly: "There are many stupid people in the human race. For thousands of years, they have been secretly hunted by our demon race without knowing it."
Zhao Huaizhong lowered his head to check several other Black Crow items.
There is also a dark golden feather with intertwined patterns of five elements of fire on the surface, which is extremely sophisticated and complicated.
Zhao Huaizhong was a little surprised and realized that this feather was a little unusual.
His eyes glowed slightly, and when he stared at the golden feathers, he saw many demon fonts appearing on them, which were a practice method used to record the inheritance of the demon clan.
Zhao Huaizhong used the power of a saint to bless him and looked at it carefully, so he could understand the teachings and understand the true meaning of the demonic characters on the feathers.
"The golden crow swallows the sun and burns the nine states with fire."
That feather records an ancient practice method of the demon clan, which is related to the legendary divine bird Golden Crow.
Zhao Huaizhong looked at it for a moment and tried to use the power of the Immortal Platform to drive this flame technique.
Instantly, the power in his body flowed, and golden flames grew in his hands, transforming into a golden crow shadow, surrounded by flames.
Then behind Zhao Huaizhong, another fire tree appeared. It was hazy, but the atmosphere was majestic and the firepower was blazing.
Black Crow watched on the side, and was shocked by the sight of Zhao Huaizhong practicing the demon fire technique and manifesting the golden crow fire tree. He said in shock: "How can you master the Taihuo technique left by my demon tribe's great sage so quickly?
?”
Zhao Huaizhong squinted at the black crow.
He has been practicing to this day, and has been able to basically confirm that Xiantai Technique is a Taoist lineage, but it is inclusive and can evolve many techniques for his own use. It can also be called Emperor Technique, accepting all kinds of techniques as his ministers.
The fire technique of transforming the demon race is just an appearance, the core is still the power of the Immortal Platform.
Liu Qi stood on one side and said: "I, the Crown Prince of Qin, are known to the whole world for my appearance as an immortal and a demon. I can easily get any demonic fire."
The other two things that Black Crow kept close to his body were an ancient picture and a bottle of elixir. They were rich in blood and were of little value to Zhao Huaizhong.
He looked at the black crow again and said: "Please ask Prime Minister Lu and General Wang to work together to interrogate this monster."
He captured Black Crow alive just to learn more about the demon clan.
As Black Crow is in the Demon King realm, it is very difficult for him to confess calmly, so it is safer for Lu Buwei and Wang Jian, who are at the same level, to join forces.
Lu Buwei and Wang Jian came from the left and right sides of Black Crow, lightly touched his temples, activated their power, and forced themselves into Black Crow's mind.
The black crow screamed, and his eyes suddenly became heavy and slowly closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep and lost the ability to resist resistance.
At this time, when Zhao Huaizhong asked again, Black Crow lost his subjective resistance.
"What are your plans for using the secret palace of Yin and Shang to hunt down and explore people?"
The black crow whispered almost as if he was dreaming: "We, the demon tribe, have long known the entry and exit methods of the seven outer layers of the Yin Shang Secret Palace, and have mastered some of the rules of its operation.
Over the course of hundreds of years, our demon clan took advantage of the emergence of the Yin Shang Secret Palace and hunted and killed the human cultivators who entered it in the dark many times. We have accumulated over the years and have killed more than a thousand human cultivators so far."
Black Crow kept talking: "My demon clan's plan is to use this to weaken the human race.
In addition, if a human cultivator makes a sacrifice to the secret palace, he can obtain a blood elixir that condenses the essence of the human cultivator, which is just right for us, the demon clan, to take."
Zhao Huaizhong, Lu Buwei, Wang Jian and others looked at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.
As the long years passed, the demon clan has been hiding in the dark and peeking.
Using the secret palace of Yin and Shang as bait to lure people in, over a long period of time, so many human race practitioners died unexpectedly.
Black Crow continued intermittently: "In addition to the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang, there are also several ancient caves that your human race has been looking for, such as the Lushan Cave where Jiazi was born, Difei Mountain, etc., we also have arrangements.
The purpose is the same, they are all hiding in the dark and hunting human cultivators."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "What else does the demon clan know about the Yin Shang Secret Palace?"
"Part of the essence and blood of the people who died in the Yin Shang Secret Palace was absorbed by the Secret Palace and flowed to the coffins in the Death Hall on the eighth floor of the Secret Palace.
Our demon clan suspects that deep in the secret palace, a certain king of the Yin and Shang Dynasties may not be dead... He is relying on his blood to sustain his life and warm his body, just like a kind of deep sleep, waiting for the right time to revive, just like my demon clan's sleeping
Demon Lord."
This afternoon, Zhao Huaizhong asked Black Crow many questions in succession in order to understand the demon clan.
However, according to Black Crow, every demon clan that leaves the demon ruins will have a seal deep in their memory, which is a method left by the ancient demon lord.
All the core secrets in the memory of the demon clan will be obscured and cannot be revealed as long as they leave the demon ruins.
While being questioned by Zhao Huaizhong, Black Crow continued to become weak, and finally died with a ferocious look on his face.
————
Demon ruins.
"Black Crow's soul fire is extinguished and he is dead." Li Ji said with her eyes closed.
The Demon Lord frowned: "He has only been out for a few days, and he acted in secret. Not only was his trace found, he didn't even have a chance to escape.
In just a few years, the human race has produced saints one after another, and its power has grown so fast that it is probably far beyond the expectations of any hidden race."
Li Ji sneered: "As long as the unblocking day comes, what use will the little power that the human race has increased?
Moreover, the main reason why Black Crow was captured was that he had only been awakened from his slumber for a few months, and his strength was far inferior to what he was before his slumber. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for a human saint to defeat him."
The Demon Lord nodded slightly and asked, "How is your arrangement going?"
Li Ji smiled and said, "I don't have any arrangements. The Demon Lord has too many thoughts." She turned around and walked away.

Mid August.
Five days after his birth, the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang disappeared underground again.
The capital of the Chu people was Shouchun.
The night is falling and the stars are twinkling.
In a palace, Xiying took off her inner clothes, looked at herself in the mirror, looked up and down, her fair and slender legs, her waist as thin as a willow...
After a while, she sighed softly and stepped into the bathtub filled with warm water.
Xiying lay in the tub with her eyes lightly closed, recalling her trip to the Yin Shang Secret Palace a few days ago.
Zhao Huaizhong's voice sounded through the bone mirror, and the saint's power that he transmitted through the mirror was so powerful that it was unimaginable.
Xiying lay on her back in the tub, her pink lotus-like arms resting on both sides of the tub, her eyes narrowed slightly, her face flushed, and then she thought of the Crown Prince of Qin whom she had seen in Xianyang.
Subconsciously, she gently clamped her legs.
"Crown Prince..."
That night, Xiying went to bed early, and she dreamed of everything.
————
In mid-August, it’s extremely hot in Xianyang.
In the early morning, during the court meeting in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, King Zhuang Xiang's throne was vacant.
Just like last summer, King Zhuang Xiang went to Cuihua Mountain to escape the summer heat.
Zhao Huaizhong supervised the country for the second time.
In fact, since returning from summer vacation last year, King Zhuang Xiang intended to let Zhao Huaizhong share more state affairs.
After more than a year of training and two inspections of the country, Zhao Huaizhong was already very familiar with it.
That night, when he returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion, Liu Qi came to report: "The Koreans have sent envoys to Xianyang and they are asking for an audience outside the mansion at the moment."
