Zhao Yaoxiang King Zhao Yan was less than forty years old and ascended to the throne after the death of his father, King Zhao Xiaocheng.
He has a round face, which, as an emperor, lacks majesty, but his eyes are soft and stern, his face is fair, his philtrum is slender and deep, his thin lips and aquiline nose make him look a bit sinister.
He was wearing royal robes and was staring at an ancient clock in front of him with a deep expression.
There were symbols on the surface of the ancient clock that flickered slightly, but the light was dim, as if it had been damaged.
Zhao Yan stared at the ancient bell and thought: Lord Pingyuan died, and the bell in his hand also fell into the hands of King Qin...
At this time, a tall woman walked in outside the hall, wearing a dark red dress.
This woman was one of Zhao Yan's new favorite concubines. She was quite enchanting, with a waist as thin as a willow, a graceful gait, and a seductive temperament.
Zhao Yan was quite obsessed with her. When he saw the woman approaching, he immediately reached out and took her into his arms.
The woman narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and glanced at the bronze bell beside Zhao Yan.

When Zhao Huaizhong came out of the stone palace, the sky was dimly lit.
He came to Xianyang Hall, put back the Zhenguo Seal, and then sat cross-legged next to the Zhenguo Seal to warm up his strength.
This time, he used the power of Zhenguo Seal to bring the Qin Kingdom into his body, thus reaching a higher level in one fell swoop.
Although Zhen Guoxi's strength declined after leaving the body, the remaining Qi in the recovered Dharma Body is still there.
After entering a higher level and then practicing again, the next direction of practice has become clear.
With Zhao Huaizhong's talent, he can already touch the threshold of the next realm. With just a little more time, he can try to break through and enter the third realm of saints.
time flies.
Half an hour later, Zhao Huaizhong opened his eyes and ended his short practice.
He turned his thoughts to Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng.
Before he killed Zhao Sheng, he had seen through Zhao Sheng's thoughts and memories, and found many secrets deep in his memory.
But even with the power he had at the time, he could not witness all the secrets in his mind: Zhao Sheng cooperated with the demon clan, and it seemed that there was something not simple behind it... some things were still unclear. He had contact with the demon clan, and seemed to be in contact with the Yin Shang
Related to the Secret Palace…

Stone Palace.
After Zhao Huaizhong left, the two monsters immediately stopped fighting.
The female fox Yingying bowed down and said to the monster, "I was very offended by the great master just now."
Da Zun is an honorific title, and the two of them did not know each other.
But just now in front of Zhao Huaizhong, they were fighting deliberately, and certain spells used in the process allowed the two to connect the secret code and confirm each other's identity as the demon master.
After the monster stopped, he looked at the door of the palace where Zhao Huaizhong left as if he was worried, and then asked the female fox:
"I have been imprisoned for a long time. What is the situation of the demon clan outside now?"
"The human race has temporarily gained the legitimacy of heaven and earth, and controls the destiny of the Middle Earth.
But our clan has made arrangements since ancient times, and now our demon clan is hiding in the demon ruins. When the time comes, we will be able to regain control of the world."
The vixen explained simply, and then said: "In which period was the Great Master the Demon Lord? Why don't I know?
How long has the Great Master been imprisoned here?"
"How long? I don't even remember..."
The monster shook his head, and his dark and ferocious face like a bull demon was full of distress: "I have been imprisoned here and have seen the rise and fall of dynasties. The stone palace has changed hands several times. I am afraid it has been at least a few thousand years, or even longer.
It’s not surprising that you haven’t heard of my name.
I only have a remnant of my soul left, and I can’t recall many things.”
The fox was surprised.
If this great demon who calls himself the Demon Lord of Shifang has only a trace of his soul left and is sealed here, he can compete equally with the soul clone of himself, the current Demon Lord. Then how strong would he be in his complete state?
?
Thoughts flickered in the vixen's mind, and he said: "The human race dares to imprison us and the demon lord. From now on, we will join hands to make the lord of Great Qin regret what he did today. We can also take this opportunity to get out of trouble."
"Get out of trouble..."
The monster looked at the vixen and said in the tone of an old man treating a newbie:
"Now that you've come in, it will be difficult to get out of trouble.
You will know the sinister methods of human beings after a while. The two of us had a deliberate confrontation just now. He might have seen that we were pretending to fight, but he just didn't say it out loud. Quan thought it was fun to watch.
If you want to plot against him, this Demon Lord will not participate..."
The vixen was quite surprised. She originally wanted to make an ally, but unexpectedly, her ally was intimidated before we even started: "Is your Majesty so afraid of the King of Qin?"
The monster said quietly: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't want to ask for trouble.
At the beginning... I was just like you, wanting to use him to get out of trouble, but I have been in contact with him for several years, which has been quite sad. You might as well understand it slowly. Anyway, you have come in, and we have plenty of time.
If you don’t believe it, just try, but don’t drag me into the water.”

The scorching sun slowly rises from the end of the sky, casting thousands of golden lights.
The main hall of Xianyang Palace.
When it was time to go to court, Zhao Huaizhong walked into the Xianyang Palace, and the ministers below came in one after another, proceeding step by step.
Liu Qi shouted energetically: "If you have something to do, let's go. If nothing happens, let's dismiss you!"
Zhao Huaizhong didn't wait for the ministers to speak, and spoke first: "I want to attack Zhao. Who do you think is a suitable general?"
Another war?!
Zhili Neishi and the Shaofu looked at each other and stepped out quickly: "Your Majesty, we must not fight again... Our Daqin has been in constant war for the past two years, and the water conservancy repairs will only be completed in ten months. The national treasury has just had a surplus, why does your Majesty do it again?
Going to war?
The veteran suggested that we take a break first, even if it’s just a few months, to take it easy.”
"Besides, it's going to be cold and winter is coming, which is not conducive to the war. Let's fight again in the spring next year."
"Yes, when King Kaichun brings up the idea of war again, the two of us will not stop him."
The two veterans sang and harmonized with each other, feeling very excited.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "I have not said that we will start a war with Zhao now. We are also planning to raise troops after the spring of next year. I just have this intention first and discuss with the ministers to make early preparations."
It turns out we shouldn't fight now... The two veterans heaved a sigh of relief and returned to their original positions.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong returned to his dormitory. When he was reading an ancient scroll in the study, he felt something in his heart. When he looked up, he saw a breath coming from the window.
There was an endless circulation of the power of the Five Elements in that breath, which broke through the window and fell into his hands.
This breath was pushed over by Zou Yan from a distance.
It fell into the hands of Zhao Huaizhong and turned into a bamboo slip.
He quickly read the contents of the brief book.
You must know that the Zou Yan people are in Linzi, the capital of Qi, and the Yan people's border city is adjacent to Qi, so the distance between the two is not too far.
Zou Yan was another back-up man left secretly by Zhao Huaizhong when he asked the generals of the Ye Yu Mansion to raid Yan. In case of unexpected changes, Zou Yan would be nearby to provide assistance.
It's just that Baiyao sacrificed the formation diagram left by Bai Qi with great vigor. Zhao Huaizhong's secret plan was not used.
When Zou Yan rushed over, he looked at Jade City from a distance, but he saw that there were killings in the sky, and monsters were being strangled by the formation one after another. The overall situation was decided.
The old saint's trip was in vain, he did not show up, and quietly retreated.
He disappeared at this time, telling Zhao Huaizhong that the confrontation between Baiyao and others in Yucheng was over.
The old sage was also happy that Zhao Huaizhong, Baiyao and other generals fought against the demon tribe in two places and all achieved great victories.
He also specially sent another picture scroll, saying that this picture scroll can reconcile the damage caused by Baiyao's skillful use of the formation diagram and the backlash of murderous energy.
After Zhao Huaizhong read the bamboo slips, he thought happily:
"In this world, there are treacherous people like Zhao Sheng who collude with demons, but there are also saints like Zou Yan and Xunzi, who are of noble character and are always concerned about the rise and fall of the human race."
In the letter sent by Zou Yan, he also expressed his concern that Zhao Huaizhong would lead the country's destiny into his body. The wording was quite accusatory, and he was also worried that Zhao Huaizhong would tie the country's destiny to himself.
If something unexpected happens to him, the fate of Qin's country will probably suffer a great decline.
The people suffered as a result, causing great disaster.
Although Zou Yan was somewhat condemning, Zhao Huaizhong did not feel dissatisfied and wrote a handwritten letter in reply to the old sage's concerns. The meaning was very simple:
"The Immortal Technique is an imperial art. There are special methods that can bring the country into the body. It will not have serious consequences as Zhao Sheng said. Please be at ease, old sage."
After he finished doing this, he got up and returned to his bedroom.
Jiang Yan had just finished taking a bath. She was wearing a moon-white middle coat and had curvy figures. She was arranging her hair in the bedroom.
Zhao Huaizhong waved his hand and asked the chamberlain who was helping Jiang Shu to arrange her hair accessories to leave. He picked up the wooden comb and helped her comb her long hair.
Queen Da Qin's eyebrows were slightly curved and she said softly: "Your Majesty has returned from slaying all the demons. Jiang Ji has not yet congratulated your Majesty."
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said: "I will show you a majestic thing later, and then you can behave well. You and I, husband and wife, don't need to be so polite in our words."
Jiang Shu responded with a charming look.
This night, hibiscus warmed the tent and red candles burned brightly.
Jiang Shu took the initiative to perform several programs and was good at singing and dancing.
But while watching the show, Zhao Huaizhong wanted Yan Huansha to come in and perform together, but Jiang Shu was annoyed. Zhao Huaizhong was kicked out of the dormitory in the middle of the night and took the huge things to another palace.
I started a new game with Yan Huansha.
The next day, morning.
Baiyao waited for the generals from Ye Yufu to return.
After the fierce battle in Jade City, they did not leave immediately, but communicated with the Yan army who arrived later, and did not return to Qin until this morning.
Xianyang Palace.
During the non-court meeting time, only Zhao Huaizhong was sitting on the throne in the main hall, and below him were the generals of Ye Yu Mansion.
"Fortunately, I have lived up to my command."
Baiyao stood at the forefront of the generals. There was a sense of weakness in his voice, but he was backlashed by the formation diagram and his body was severely damaged.
Zhao Huaizhong looked at Baiyao and said:
"Deputy Shi Bai was injured by the formation diagram left by Lord Wu An. I have here a simple book sent by Saint Zou, which uses the power of the five elements to derive the two qi of yin and yang.
If you draw the breath into your body, you can neutralize the damage in your body and recover as soon as possible."
He added: "It's actually a good thing that you were injured this time. After you recover, I will personally help you sort out and condense your inner breath. You can take the opportunity to try to reach the saint realm."
Our Great Qin may be able to produce a new sage who is accomplished through the art of killing."
Baiyao was overjoyed, and the other generals were also envious.
It is the yearning of each of them to become a saint by killing, without cultivating virtues, and only seeking to be loyal, courageous and diligent.
Afterwards, Zhao Huaizhong discussed rewards for meritorious deeds, and there was a lot of excitement.
After everyone else dispersed, Baiyao and Mu Qingkong followed Zhao Huaizhong to the study in the side hall.
Baiyao lifted up his mask, exposed his forehead, and once again showed the array diagram that was warm and nourishing in his body.
One of the breaths circulated, slowly pushing out a black figure.
