Gongsun family mansion.
The well-equipped and heavily armed Imperial Guard soldiers have already restrained everyone in Gongsun's house.
Those who resisted were immediately killed on the spot.
"Dongfang Longcang, how dare you attack me Gongsun family!!"
A roar came from Gongsun's mansion, and then a tall figure shot out and landed on the eaves, looking at the thin figure opposite with an angry look.
"I, Gongsun family, have been a minister for generations to Southern Qi, and I have contributed to the founding of the country. Aren't you afraid of the criticism of all civil and military officials for what you did today?"
The tall figure is none other than Gongsun Yue.
At this time, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the phantom of the giant dragon covering the entire mansion in the sky.
He never thought that the royal family would suddenly take action against him.
"Gongsun Yue, you Gongsun family have crossed the line. I can tolerate your plot to the Crimson Feather Army, and I can tolerate the embezzlement of arms, but you should not collude with Heart of Thorns."
Old Dragon's hoarse voice was full of plainness, and his eyes flashed with purple light on his old cheeks, and the powerful aura belonging to Third Realm Grandmaster exuded.
If Lin Sheng is here, it is not difficult to see that this royal master is probably even stronger than Hu Yanji.
"You already know!?"
After hearing what the other party said, Gongsun Yue's expression changed.
Thinking that there had been no news from Hai He Valley, he quickly realized something.
There is a high probability that there is something wrong with the plan there.
"It's useless to talk more. If you just surrender, I can make you look more dignified. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our past kindness."
Old Dragon didn't seem to want to say any more. His thin figure instantly swelled, thick scales emerged from the surface of the body, and the horns protruded from the top of his head. In the blink of an eye, the whole person turned into a terrifying half-human, half-dragon figure.
"You want me Gongsun Yue to be captured without any help, Dongfang old man, you are dreaming!!"
Gongsun Yue took a deep breath, green scales appeared on the body surface.
The eyes were like slits, and a cold and cold aura that was as rich as substance was exuding, and the shadow of a three-headed python was looming behind it.
"Stubborn."
Seeing this scene, Old Dragon's expression remained unchanged. After uttering a sentence coldly, the next moment the huge dragon-shaped shadow in the sky seemed to suddenly come to life and pressed down on the entire Gongsun Mansion.
*
Two days later.
Imperial Capital On the door.
A beautiful figure stood on the city gate tower, looking in the direction outside the door, eagerly awaiting.
"Commandery Princess, Lin Sheng will naturally go to the house after returning, so why bother to come here to wait?"
Granny Shi's old voice sounded, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Now Gongsun family has fallen, but Gongsun Yue has escaped. He must have revenge. Even in this Imperial Capital, you have to be careful."
"I know about Granny Shi, but Gongsun Yue was seriously injured and had already fled far away. He would never dare to stay nearby, not to mention that he is protected by a large formation and cannot cause any trouble."
Princess Lingyu tilted his head slightly, explained with a smile, and quickly turned his head to look outside the city.
Seeing this scene, Granny Shi could only shake his head helplessly and said no more.
After a while, looking at the figure that had not appeared for a long time, Princess Lingyu Liu Mei could not help but frown slightly.
"It stands to reason that we should have arrived by now, why haven't we shown up yet? Did something happen?"
Princess Lingyu This thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this moment, a guard general came hurriedly to the city wall.
"Commandery Princess, Imperial Son-in-law He has arrived in the palace."
"Already arrived!?"
Princess Lingyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and hurried towards the palace.
Imperial Palace, Zhenwu Hall.
"Lin Sheng has met His Majesty."
"Prince Consort Please get up quickly."
Emperor Jing was still wearing a large training uniform, looking at Lin Sheng in front of him with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that your boy really brought me a big gift this time. Not only did he take back Crimson Feather Army, but he also found out the connection between Gongsun family and Heart of Thorns."
"This is a great achievement. Tell me what reward you want. I will definitely be satisfied."
"Thank you so much His Majesty. Speaking of which, this junior does have something to ask for."
Looking at Emperor Jing with a bold face, Lin Sheng also had a smile on his face. This was what he was waiting for.
"But it doesn't matter."
Emperor Jing waved his hand.
"This junior also needs a large amount of Demon Beast essence and blood for his cultivation."
"Demon Beast blood essence?"
Hearing this Emperor Jing was stunned. He remembered that he had given the other party a lot of Demon Beast Flesh last time, but he didn't expect that a large amount of Demon Beast essence and blood would be needed.
But he quickly reacted and smiled.
"This is easy to discuss. How much Demon Beast essence and blood does Prince Consort want?"
"It's hard to say the exact number, but I guess it will be a small number."
Lin Sheng thought for a moment and replied.
The amount of Demon Beast's blood needed to activate the fifth ring mark was quite large. He really didn't know how much it would take.
After all, Demon Beast has different levels of strength, and the effects of blood are also different.
"Is that so?"
Emperor Jing had a look of thought on his face, and soon he had an idea in his mind, so he took off a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his waist.
"This is my waist card. I will give this card to you. With this waist card, you can freely enter and leave Imperial Treasury. You can decide how much you need."
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something again, paused, and continued.
"In addition, there are many secret techniques and techniques in the library. Prince Consort If you are interested, you can borrow them at will. By the way, there are also some Heavenly Treasures that you can use if you need them for practice."
After saying that, he put Jade Token into Lin Sheng's hands.
"Uh..."
Looking at the exquisite dragon-shaped waist badge in his hand, Lin Sheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
He had thought that Southern Qi Imperial Family's foundation would definitely be enough to activate the fifth mark.
But the value of the Demon Beast blood he consumed must be an astronomical figure.
Originally, he thought that the other party might not respond directly.
Unexpectedly, this Emperor Jing actually gave him a big one.
"So, junior, thank you His Majesty."
Lin Sheng immediately bowed.
"Okay, you have been tired from traveling and fighting again and again, so go down and rest quickly. Besides, Ling Yu, that girl doesn't seem to know that I sent someone to connect you to the palace first, and she was waiting on the city gate tower early. Go and meet her."
"Yes, His Majesty."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng nodded.
As soon as he turned around, he stopped again and asked.
"By the way His Majesty, I don't know Gongsun family now..."
"Two days ago, I sent people to raid Gongsun family's mansion. A lot of people were waiting for death. They were imprisoned. It's a pity that the old guy Gongsun Yue escaped."
Emperor Jing had a look of regret on his face, and at the same time there was a bit of anger in his eyes.
"Originally I was going to capture him, but I didn't expect that there was a Heart of Thorns Grandmaster master hidden in Gongsun's mansion, so I let him escape."
"But don't worry, although Gongsun Yue ran away, he was seriously injured, so he must not dare to stay near Imperial Capital."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng nodded, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, there was already a master from Heart of Thorns lurking in Imperial Capital.
A Grandmaster master is lurking in Imperial Capital, probably planning something.
But fortunately, uprooting it this time won't cause any big trouble.
"In that case, I will take my leave, junior."
After another salute, Lin Sheng turned around and walked away.
Watching Lin Sheng's figure go away, Emperor Jing clapped his hands.
Soon Meng Lie walked in carrying Gongsun Changyue, who was still in a coma.
"Wei Chen, meet His Majesty."
"Get up."
Emperor Jing waved his hand and looked at the muddy Gongsun family Erzi. The smile on his face disappeared and he snorted coldly.
"A'Fu, pass the order and summon the ministers immediately."
Not to mention the turmoil in the court here.
Before Lin Sheng walked out of the palace, he saw Princess Lingyu in purple palace clothes, standing at the palace gate with a sweet smile.
*
The next day.
It's getting dark early.
Lin Sheng, accompanied by Princess Lingyu, came to Imperial Treasury.
"I didn't expect Imperial Uncle that he would give you this dragon heart Jade Token."
Looking at Jade Token in Lin Sheng's hands, Princess Lingyu still feels incredible.
Yesterday, when she saw Lin Sheng holding this Jade Token, she was shocked.
As a member of the royal family, she is very aware of the value and significance of this Dragon Heart Jade.
This jade is the symbol of the Southern Qi Imperial Family the entire oriental family.
At the same time, it is also a token of Southern Qi emperor's inheritance, and its weight is evident.
Even Granny Shi behind the two of them looked at Lin Sheng with weird and complicated eyes from time to time because of this dragon heart jade.
"It's only in my hands temporarily. I still have to return it to His Majesty after I use it."
Lin Sheng doesn't care about the meaning of this waist card. He values how many surprises this Imperial Treasury can bring him more than these false ones.
Soon, the two of them had reached the depths of the palace.
Lin Sheng can clearly feel that the surrounding area is much more heavily guarded.
There are more and more tyrannical auras hidden in the dark, and all eyes are basically focused on him.
But after just a quick glance, he moved away again.
"Eighteen late Divine Form stage, and three Grandmaster warriors. It seems that most of the power of these Imperial Capital is deep in the palace."
Lin Sheng thought to himself, with his perception, he can naturally feel these breaths clearly.
I have to admit that except for Supreme Grandmaster, the military god Tang Chong, the strength of the royal family is not inferior to the Military Department at all, and may even be stronger.
Compared with the Heavenly Net Sect and others, it is significantly better.
The two of them traveled smoothly and finally appeared in front of them at a house.
Different from other buildings in the palace, this house looks quite old, and the style is also quite old. It can be seen at a glance that it is a building from an unknown number of years ago.
"This is the royal warehouse. Even members of the royal family are not allowed to enter easily. I have only entered it a few times in my life."
Princess Lingyu explained from the side.
Lin Sheng nodded, but his eyes paused on a dragon-shaped stone sculpture in front of the house.
This stone sculpture was also quite old, and even one of the dragon horns had long since disappeared, but he still felt a vague sense of threat from it.
I'm afraid it's also a formation, and in his opinion it should be of the same type as the red dragon sculpture of the Crimson Feather Army.
However, the former is older and probably more powerful.
"Okay, you go in, I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay."
Lin Sheng nodded and walked towards the courtyard without hesitation.
As he stepped in, the eyes of the stone dragon in the courtyard instantly lit up with a faint light.
Lin Sheng stopped for a moment, and felt the threat emanating from the stone dragon instantly increased dozens of times.
But the dragon heart jade in his hand soon emitted a glimmer of light, and the stone dragon soon dimmed, and there was nothing strange about it anymore.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng relaxed and came to the door. With a slight push, the ancient door opened in response.
Lin Sheng felt his eyes change and he was already in the room.
He frowned slightly, the feeling just now was quite strange, it seemed like...
"Just now is the storage ban, which involves some space power. You don't need to think too much, little friend."
I saw a skinny, short, rickety old man walking out of the shadows with a smile on his face.
As his voice fell, fist-sized luminous pearls on the top of the dark room instantly lit up, illuminating the room.
"Juniors have met seniors."
Lin Sheng's eyes fell on the old man and he immediately bowed.
Although he did not recognize this old man, he was quite familiar with his aura. It was the Third Realm Grandmaster who had been hiding next to Emperor Jing before.
At the same time, he is also the strongest person he has seen since he entered Imperial Capital.
"You don't have to be polite, little friend, just call me Old Dragon."
The old man smiled and waved.
Seemingly knowing the purpose of Lin Sheng's visit, he introduced him.
"The library is divided into four floors.
The first layer is the magic weapon armor, the second layer is Heavenly Treasures, and the third layer is Demon Beast materials that kids need to practice.
As for the fourth floor, it is a bit dangerous. It is best not to enter it hastily. "
"Junior understands."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng handed over his hand and thanked him.
Then he walked inside. The area of the warehouse was not large.
The walls on both sides were covered with armor and weapons.
They are all flashing with cold light, exuding fierce power.
Without getting started, you can see that they are all rare weapons and sharp blades in the world.
His eyes fell on a pale bone hammer. Its aura ranked among the top three among these weapons. The head of the hammer alone was the size of a person and nearly three meters long.
Lin Sheng stepped closer, caressing it with his palm, a look of surprise in his eyes.
This bone hammer was actually polished from a Void Beast bone.
It is indeed Imperial Treasury.
Lin Sheng was secretly surprised.
He has no interest in foreign objects such as weapons and armor.
Compared with external objects, one's own body is more worthy of trust.
After another glance, he stepped directly to the second floor.
As soon as he entered the second floor, a complex and strange fragrance had already flowed into his nose.
On the second floor, you can see many kinds of strange plants.
With his eyes, he can only recognize a few types, but even if these types are placed outside, they are all priceless Heavenly Treasures.
After pausing for a moment, he continued on to the third floor.
As for Heavenly Treasures on the second floor, he will take a closer look later. After all, he doesn't know many things, and he can't tell the reason even if he looks at them.
With the foundation of the first two layers, I am quite looking forward to Demon Beast Flesh Lin Sheng in the third layer.
But when he entered the third floor, the scene in front of him still shocked his heart.
What came into view was a huge animal hide.
Covering the entire third floor, it can be seen that the owner of the animal skin is huge.
He reached out and touched it, and sure enough, it was Demon Beast fur.
In addition, there are rows of specially-made jade bottles that are well sealed.
He stepped forward and opened a jade bottle, which contained Demon Beast blood. In addition to these jade bottles, there was a partition on the third floor.
He entered the first partition. The temperature inside was extremely low, even with a little bit of frost, and in the frost was half of the beast's body sealed in ice.
