Northern Yan Imperial Capital.
Golden Cicada Courtyard.
Perhaps a strong and strange aroma wafted out, almost encompassing the entire courtyard outside.
A palace maid walked quickly through the courtyard with a tray in hand.
There are various medicinal plants and Flesh rare items on the tray. There are many kinds, but if someone who is proficient in pharmacology sees this scene, he can recognize the things on the tray at a glance. They are all priceless rare medicines.
Everything placed outside is a priceless treasure.
But at this moment, there were no less than a hundred kinds of medicines in the courtyard. These maids put all the rare treasures into a giant golden cauldron in the main hall of the courtyard.
The huge tripod is about ten feet square, with ancient seal patterns engraved on it, faintly emitting wisps of golden light.
Until all the precious medicine was put into the giant cauldron, it was quickly smelted into a golden liquid that exuded a strange aroma.
Outside the main hall, two figures were sitting upright.
One is tall and the other is short, one is wearing a red shirt and the other is wearing a purple robe.
Smelling the aroma coming from the giant cauldron, the two looked at each other.
After making eye contact, the two of them shot at the same time, red and purple energy instantly surged out and landed on both sides of the tripod.
The force is powerful and majestic, it is Grandmaster Gang Force.
As two powerful forces fell on the giant cauldron, the body of the cauldron was not damaged at all. Instead, it seemed to be stimulated. The looming golden light suddenly became strong, and it actually sucked these two forces into it like a living creature.
Soon, the lines around the giant cauldron turned bright red like blood.
The golden liquid in the cauldron was also stained with blood, and gradually became a bit darker red.
It was not until the power was completely absorbed by the giant cauldron that the two old men stopped their hands and stood up. With a wave of their sleeves, the heavy palace door closed, and the two of them waited quietly outside the palace door.
"I didn't expect His Highness Prince Ping to be so seriously injured this time."
The old man in red shirt glanced at the closed palace door and spoke softly in a lowered voice.
"Yes, with such a serious injury, Prince Ping is so powerful. If it were any other Grandmaster, even Third Realm Grandmaster would definitely die, and Imperial Capital would not be able to survive at all."
The short old man in purple robe also lowered his voice and replied.
Thinking of the miserable appearance of Prince Ping that he saw returning home in embarrassment three days ago, I felt shocked and surprised in my heart.
There was even some doubt whether the person coming was the Prince Ping Zhao Yantai in the memory.
After all, Zhao Yantai at that time was just a corpse of Flesh that looked vaguely like it had been chopped alive.
If it weren't for judging from the other person's breath, even the closest people wouldn't be able to tell their identity.
"Can you tell me who was responsible for injuring His Highness Prince Ping to such a dying state? Could it be that Dark Star's two deputy pavilion masters who had disappeared for many years were secretly ambushing him."
"I don't know. Didn't you say those two old guys are dead?"
"Besides these two old guys, who else can be there? It can't be that the top Grandmaster from Southern Qi has formed a group to come over!?"
The two of them made random guesses, but it was difficult to come to a conclusion.
After all, Zhao Yantai could hold on until Imperial Capital fell into a coma before he could say anything more.
After a while, the two simply shook their heads and stopped thinking about it.
"That's all, there is no basis for you and me to make wild guesses here. After all, even His Highness is not sure. It is better to wait until Prince Ping recovers, and he will naturally know..."
"That's right..."
Although the two of them are Grandmaster, they are only First Realm Grandmaster. Moreover, their own talent Bloodline and the special skills they practice are not good at attacking. However, they have extremely high attainments in medical skills and alchemy.
The two of them joined forces and used a variety of rare treasures from Imperial Treasury, plus Zhao Yantai's tyrannical Bloodline.
It won't take a few days to recover.
It was just earlier than the two of them expected.
Two hours later.
The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is getting dark.
The aroma wafting out of the hall suddenly shrank rapidly, but within a few breaths it completely disappeared and returned to the hall.
At the same time, a cold aura emitted from the hall, and it surged at an extremely fast speed.
"Wake up!!"
Upon noticing this change, the two old men looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
After more than ten breaths of time passed, the heavy palace door suddenly opened.
A tall, handsome and god-like figure slowly flew out of the hall with golden light emitting from its entire body.
"Zi Shu, Chi Yu has met His Highness Prince Ping!"
The two old men bowed at the same time and spoke respectfully.
"Get up, it's all thanks to you these past few days."
Zhao Yantai's eyes glowed with golden hair, and the translucent and narrow cicada wings behind her vibrated rapidly, bringing up strong winds, and nodded slightly towards the two of them.
After saying that, the figure disappeared in the courtyard instantly.
Not long after, Qianyuan Treasure Hall.
"Royal brother, what did you say!? Your injury was caused by Flame Demon Lin Sheng!?"
Northern Yan Emperor Jingyuan spilled the jade cup in his hand and wetted the memorial on the desk, but he ignored it at all. With strong shock in his eyes, he stared at Zhao Yantai who was hurrying up from the hall.
"This is absolutely true. The strength of this boy is completely beyond common sense. First there were the two old monks Song Zhong and Ku Rong, and then there were Blood Wolf and Red Spider, Bai Er, a total of five Grandmaster were all killed by him, and the previous Red Demon Liu Yu was probably also killed by him."
Zhao Yantai spoke in a deep voice, and when he mentioned Lin Sheng, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the seriousness on the other person's face, Emperor Jingyuan frowned tightly, revealing a rare dignity on his pale face.
After a while, he exhaled heavily.
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that among the remnants of Dark Star, there would be such an anomaly. From what you said, my emperor brother, I am afraid that it is even more threatening than the original Divine Lord Li."
Emperor Jingyuan's eyes flashed.
I can't help but think of Green Robe Divine Lord, the famous Green Robe Divine Lord among Dark Star, who just succeeded to the throne many years ago.
Green Robe Divine Lord's terrifying combat power and cultivation talent were definitely expected to be among those of Supreme Grandmaster.
He sent many masters to attack and kill, but all ended in failure.
Even Zhao Hongzhang, who was still Third Realm Grandmaster at the time, failed to win against him.
It can be said to be Imperial Court's biggest problem.
Fortunately, his practice later went awry, and he never reached the Supreme realm again.
And with the successful breakthrough of King Yan.
It shows the tyrannical strength to suppress a country.
After adding Dark Star, he gradually disappeared and is no longer active.
So he no longer took this underground organization to heart.
Unexpectedly, only a hundred years had passed, and Dark Star organization, which was thought to be at the end of its rope, would suddenly have another Flame Demon Lin Sheng appear.
"According to what you said, I'm afraid it's too late to hunt down this Flame Demon Lin Sheng now."
"As Southern Qi Prince Consort, after arriving in the territory of Southern Qi, it will inevitably attract people's attention. It is a bit troublesome to solve it."
Emperor Jingyuan Cross your hands and open and close them repeatedly.
"You can't let this talent go unchecked. It seems like it will be left to King Yan to handle."
"Brother Emperor, there is no need to bother Brother King Yan about this matter."
This is Zhao Yantai suddenly speaking.
"Brother King Yan is now trying to absorb the power of Demon Blood. Now is the critical moment for Secluded Cultivation. It's better not to disturb him."
After saying this, he paused, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Let's leave this matter to the emperor's younger brother."
"But Emperor Brother, you..."
Hearing this Emperor Jingyuan was startled, as if he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly say this. He frowned slightly and opened his mouth to say something.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes the miserable appearance of Zhao Yantai, who was already seriously injured and dying.
As if he understood the other party's hidden worries, Zhao Yantai spoke calmly.
"Brother, there is no need to worry. Although this boy is indeed very strong, if the brother hadn't been careless and was attacked by him secretly, he would have been killed by the sword this time."
Speaking of this, a cold look appeared on his face.
"I won't be so lucky this time. Even if it comes to Southern Qi, the emperor is confident that he will be killed. Please leave the matter to me."
Hearing this Emperor Jingyuan opened and closed his fingers several times, obviously thinking about something, but he quickly made a decision with a smile on his face.
"Yantai, I am naturally assured of your strength. If you have confidence, then just go ahead and do it. If you need any help, just ask."
"Thank you, my dear brother."
Seeing Emperor Jingyuan agree to his proposal, Zhao Yantai's eyes showed a hint of joy and he immediately said seriously.
"After all, this is the territory of Southern Qi, and this person has the identity of Prince Consort. It is not good to have more people. Yantai is enough for one person, and before I go again, I will go to the Sky Rainbow Pavilion to try to swallow Demon Blood."
"Oh? Have you thought about it? Well, with Demon Blood joining me, your strength will definitely be improved to the next level. However, swallowing Demon Blood will definitely be risky. To be on the safe side, it is better for me to swallow a third-grade Demon Blood first."
Emperor Jingyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he soon smiled and spoke.
At this moment, the last trace of worry was completely dispelled.
Sky Rainbow Pavilion has studied Demon Blood for many years and has determined its effectiveness. As long as it can suppress the demonic backlash, it must have a powerful gain effect. This applies even to Grandmaster warriors.
Although the effect of the third-grade Demon Blood on Third Realm Grandmaster is slightly weak, it can also provide an almost qualitative increase in its vitality, which is definitely a big improvement in the increase in combat power.
The previous Zhao Yantai had always been resistant to swallowing Demon Blood.
Now that he has offered to swallow Demon Blood, it can be considered a good thing.
In the future, if a first-grade Demon Blood is swallowed and successfully refined, Northern Yan may be able to produce another Supreme Grandmaster.
"Okay, Yantai will go to the Sky Rainbow Pavilion."
Zhao Yantai said nothing more, turned around and walked away.
Soon Emperor Jingyuan was the only one left in the hall.
Watching Zhao Yantai's figure disappear, his face returned to calmness and he patted his hands gently, and a thin figure emerged from the shadow of the hall.
"Send this Flame Demon Lin Sheng information to the front line and inform King Yan."
The thin figure in the shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.

Boom...
In the dark night, Lightning Glow rolled, bringing bursts of light to the dark sea.
On Sea Region, huge waves kept appearing.
The terrifying waves wrapped around the group of sea beasts and slammed into the water. Some sea beasts that had no time to escape were torn apart under the heavy pressure and turned into a pool of blood.
In the apocalyptic scene, three long and narrow ships with Silver White bodies broke through the waves.
The ship is huge, not inferior to those giant merchant ships.
Nearly two hundred meters in length, it looks like a giant beast in the sea.
It's just that its shape and decoration are completely different from ordinary merchant ships and even Southern Qi Northern Yan warships.
The lines are sharper, and the entire body is made of an unknown material, with streaks of Silver White luster shining under the Lightning Glow mapping.
Whenever a huge wave approaches the hull, the Silver White light suddenly surges to form a barrier to block the huge wave.
"Miss Deville, it has been two days in a row. Not only does this damn storm have no intention of going down, but it is getting bigger and bigger. If it continues like this, the Silver Brilliance Stone we have prepared may not be enough to supply the ship. If the huge waves don't stop by then, it will be dangerous!!"
On the front warship, the Silver White flag was hoisted high, and on the flag was a blooming purple tulip.
On the deck, a strong man with brown hair and blue eyes, a tall man with a thick beard, looked around at the huge waves that were rising one after another, and said with a worried look on his face.
"Captain Vito, how long can the Silver Brilliance Stone on board now last?"
Next to the strong man, a tall girl with silver hair and blue eyes asked softly.
The girl looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her face is calmer than her peers, and her thick eyebrows have a heroic spirit that is rare for women.
"If it continues to be consumed at this level, it will only last for another day at most. Based on my experience, it can be inferred that a storm of this scale will last at least seven or eight days."
The bearded man said in a deep voice, his eyes even more worried. There was a horrific wound on his shoulder that had not yet recovered, but at this time, he had no intention of paying attention to it.
"Is there only one day left!?"
The silver-haired girl frowned slightly and murmured.
But behind him, a blonde girl wearing a maid outfit couldn't help but complain.
"It's all because of that damn sea beast. If it hadn't suddenly attacked us and caused us to lose supplies and ships, we wouldn't be in this situation..."
"Okay Penny, stop talking."
The silver-haired girl spoke softly to interrupt the maid's complaints, looked at the storm around her, and said seriously.
"First officer, since this route happens to catch up with the storm, we will temporarily change the route and send elite knights to search for whether there is an island nearby. If there is one, we will temporarily dock on the island and wait for the storm to pass."
"Miss Deville, this is indeed a solution."
The bearded Captain Vito thought for a moment and determined the feasibility of this plan, but then he spoke again as if he had thought of something.
"But that damn sea beast has been following us before, and we finally got rid of it. If it stays for a few days, it might catch up again. We only have three battleships now, and I'm afraid it will be swallowed up by it sooner or later if this continues."
"I know, but no matter what, I can only take one step and see what happens."
The silver-haired girl spoke in a deep voice.
"Then follow your orders, Miss Deville. I will arrange for high-level knights to search for the Near Sea Island."
Upon seeing this, Captain Vito responded without saying anything and was about to leave. But at this moment, the maid named Penny suddenly screamed, with a hint of panic in her voice.
"Miss, look what's in front of you!?"
The silver-haired girl and the bearded captain immediately looked in the direction of his gaze.
Hundreds of meters away from the sea, a fault more than a thousand meters wide appeared, as if a Abyss giant mouth grew out of the sea and crazily swallowed the sea water.
