"Are you sure that Xu Dao's strength is not lower than yours?"
Wanyan Xiarong asked again, but he still felt a little incredible.
"Master Hou, sure."
Zhao Yuantong and Li Rulong nodded together. Although several days had passed, every time they thought of the scene in the secret realm, they felt as if they were dreaming.
Zhang Yifeng's strength is so powerful that it's a bit scary.
Wanyan Xia Rong is a powerful monk who has experienced many things in the world. He has very rich experience in observing people. Judging from the looks in Zhao Yuantong and Li Rulong's eyes just now, they are not lying.
In other words, in such a short period of time after Zhang Yifeng left Baizhan City using the golden cicada to escape from his shell, he actually broke through from the fifth and sixth levels of the Nascent Soul stage to such a monster's breakthrough speed in the out-of-body stage. Wanyan Xia Rong had never heard of it.
.
Wanyan Xia Rong frowned and asked again: "When you fought with Xu Dao, did he show anything strange?"
"Strange? It doesn't seem like anything."
Zhao Yuantong and the other two shook their heads.
"Then has he spoken? When will he come to Potian City?"
"This... we don't know the specific time. Why did the Marquis ask that?"
Zhao Yuantong and Li Rulong shook their heads again, with puzzled faces on their faces.
Wanyan Xia Rong did not explain to the two of them, but asked some more questions.
After asking, he discovered that the two people knew very little about Xu Dao and could not ask for any valuable information at all.
Wanyan Xia Rong made Zhao Yuantong and Li Rulong retreat with a random excuse.
"What do you think?"
After Zhao Yuantong and Li Rulong left, Wanyan Xia Rong looked at Zhou Xian with questioning eyes.
Zhou Xian said with a solemn expression: "If what they say is true, Xu Dao must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
Wanyan Xia Rong nodded, Zhou Xian's thoughts were exactly the same as his. He pondered for a while, and then said: "Since Xu Nantian and Qiu Lin didn't let Xu Dao die, then we will let him die again.
"
Zhou Xian nodded, then frowned again.
"What?" Seeing Zhou Xian frowning, Wanyan Xiarong asked in a deep voice.
A worried look appeared in Zhou Xian's eyes: "Xu Dao's strength has improved too quickly. There must be some unknown secret hidden in him. I'm worried that things will change."
misfortune?
After hearing Zhou Xian's words, Wanyan Xia Rong was stunned, and a touch of uneasiness and fear actually arose in her heart. This feeling appeared without any warning, but it was so real.
"Could it be that Xu Dao really poses a threat to me?"
As soon as this idea came up, Wanyan Xia Rong was startled, and his expression became cloudy and uncertain.
In order to avenge his son, he planned this plan, and now even the twenty-two princes are involved in this matter, so in his heart, this plan must be absolutely foolproof.
Wanyan Xia Rong pondered for a while, her face changed several times, and then she said to Zhou Xian: "In this way, on the day of the wedding banquet, the psychic cannon will be placed in a secret place in case of emergency."
Hearing the words "psionic cannon", Zhou Xian looked very surprised and said hesitantly: "Master Hou, the psychic cannon is of great importance and cannot be lost. According to our previous plan, we no longer have monks in the out-of-body stage.
Available."
The psychic cannon is a strategic weapon of the Dali Kingdom. The king placed a psychic cannon in each prince's fiefdom, with the purpose of deterring miscreants.
The power of the psychic cannon is huge. It relies on spiritual stones to charge. If it is full of energy, the power it emits is enough to instantly kill a monk who has just entered the void phase.
However, in the long history of the kingdom, the psychic cannon was rarely used, and it served more of a deterrent effect.
Because although the power of the psychic cannon is astonishing, its consumption is also astonishing. Every time a psychic cannon launches an attack, it costs at least dozens of spirit stones. Although the eight princes have noble status, the spirit stones are high-level strategic reserve materials.
Consuming one is like cutting into their hearts.
Moreover, in addition to consuming spiritual stones, the psychic cannon also needs to be driven by monks in the out-of-body stage to exert its due power. This is why Zhou Xian is worried.
This time, in order to make the plan foolproof, Wanyan Xia Rong decided to use the psychic cannon.
Hearing Zhou Xian's words, Wanyan Xia Rong frowned, but not long after, he seemed to have thought of something, and his originally frowning eyebrows relaxed.
He looked at Zhou Xian and said, "Zhao Yuantong and Li Rulong are both monks at the second level of the out-of-body stage. Leave the psychic cannon to them." Wanyan Xia Rong said calmly.
Zhou Xian frowned, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said: "Psychic cannons are very important, are they trustworthy?"
Wanyan Xia Rong waved her hand and said confidently: "Don't worry, they are all my people, I can absolutely trust them, and they also have a grudge against Xu Dao, so it is just right for them to be in charge of the psychic cannon."
Having said this, Wanyan Xia Rong paused and continued: "However, to be on the safe side, you send two monks from the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage to assist them in jointly controlling the psychic cannon."
After listening to Wanyan Xiarong's words, Zhou Xian was still a little worried, but he did not find any loopholes in Wanyan Xiarong's plan, so he said nothing more.
Later, Wanyan Xiarong gave Zhou Xian some details and asked Zhou Xian to withdraw.
At this time, in a guest room in the Hou Mansion.
Zhao Yuantong and Li Rulong were sitting opposite each other, with a lot of delicacies placed in front of them, which were sent by servants of the Hou Mansion.
Although the food looked very rich, they had no appetite at the moment, and instead looked worried.
"Old Zhao, do you think the Marquis will believe our words?" Li Rulong suddenly looked at Zhao Yuantong and asked.
Zhao Yuantong shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but what we said is the truth. Whether they believe it or not, we just wait and see what happens."
Li Rulong gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If it weren't for that Xu Dao, you and I wouldn't be in this situation today. Once the Marquis discovers that we have different intentions, I'm afraid we won't have to wait until the poison takes effect.
He was killed by the Marquis."
Zhao Yuantong sighed, his expression became serious, and said: "We must not let Xu Dao die before the poison is removed."
"However, it can be seen from the eyes of the Marquis that he is determined to kill Xu Dao. Although Xu Dao is powerful, the Marquis must have made complete preparations. As long as Xu Dao comes, there is only one person waiting for him.
