Year 36 of the Jingxin Era: The Prince of Liang Is Dead!
"I'd only ever heard of the Grand Luck Coin before, but I'd never actually seen one," Ye Yukong remarked. "I never imagined it would be so miraculous. Such divine favor, how wondrous!"
Zhao Xing weighed the Grand Luck Coin in his hand and laughed, "That's not something an ordinary person can use. Brother Ye, you just happened to have the perfect Favorable Timing and Location."
Unlike the Purple-Gold Ancient Coin, which has its own unique uses, the Grand Luck Coin only has two effects.
First, it temporarily increases one's luck. As long as you carry one with you, it is equivalent to having luck from Derivation Four Evolution Six.
The exact amount depends on the situation at the beginning of the manufacturing in Grand Luck Market.
Secondly, it gathers the fortunes of heaven and earth.
Holders can absorb the power within the Grand Luck Coin, resonating with the heavens and earth, and gaining divine favor.
The most direct manifestation of this is its ability to help people break through to the Second-Rank Heavenly Fate Realm.
This feature is powerful, but it also has many limitations.
It has requirements for both the user and the environment.
Zhao Xing can't absorb it now; only those who are about to reach the Second Rank or have already Second Rank can absorb it.
Secondly, there is the natural environment.
In the past, the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty was as solid as iron, locking away the fortune of Pinghai Province and preventing it from flowing out.
Let alone a single Grand Luck Coin, even if you piled them up like a mountain, you still couldn't attract them.
It was only because Liang King used his divine artifact to tear open the system of Dynasty of Fate, causing a split, that the destiny of Pinghai Province was revealed.
That's why Zhao Xing said that Ye Yukong had all the Favorable Timing and Location.
"We need to add another person," Ye Yukong laughed. "If it weren't for you, my brother, how could I have received such good fortune?"
I'll remember this favor.
"If it weren't for you, I alone would never have been able to kill the cunning and cautious Prosperous Martial Marquis and steal his treasures. Prosperous Martial Marquis is hiding in Dongze County and doesn't come out. As long as he is with the three thousand Imperial Guard Camp, even Ye Yukong can't kill him now."
Are you kidding me? If you could easily take the enemy's head from among thousands of troops, there would be no need to train any groups at all.
A single strongman can bring down a country by constantly waging guerrilla warfare.
It is precisely because of the existence of battle formations, Magic Array, Divine Soldier weapons of Engineer School, and the surveillance of the Yin Spirit that even the strongest individual martial prowess dares not act recklessly.
In a normal battle, Ye Yukong and Zhao Xing Prosperous Martial Marquis as soon as they entered the Boundary Marker of Dongze County.
That was indeed the case, but Zhao Xing and Ye Yukong were constantly moving, and the area was too large and far from the county town, making it difficult to surround them. If things went wrong, they could retreat.
However, if the two of them were to fight against Prosperous Martial Marquis and encounter a large army, it would be difficult for them to escape.
The reason Ye Yukong said that Zhao Xing had contributed greatly was because Zhao Xing possessed the abilities of Ruler of the Horizon and Ten Thousand Laws Clone.
The army's movements were detected by the clone, and Ruler of the Horizon was a top-tier escape technique, making it difficult to surround them.
Even during the battle, Ye Yukong's ability to instantly approach Prosperous Martial Marquis and deliver a fatal blow was also thanks to Ruler of the Horizon and the Midnight Sealing Talisman.
"Brother Ye, you flatter me. I only did some insignificant things. It was your Bright Moon Sword Art that truly enabled the kill," Zhao Xing said.
His ultimate avatar did many things, but it couldn't kill Prosperous Martial Marquis.
"Within half an incense stick's time, if it weren't for Brother Ye, all one hundred clones would have died by the time Prosperous Martial Marquis's reinforcements arrived."
"Ultimately, my top-tier technique is only at the Third-Turn level, and even with my clone, it's only at the second level now."
Zhao Xing's foundation is still too shallow. If his true form had mastered a top-level perfect spell, his top-level Dharma body would surely be able to unleash the power of a top-level Seventh-Turn.
When the number of Dharma bodies reaches tens of thousands, and one properly cultivates a series of clones, that's when it becomes truly terrifying!
"That's already amazing. You've only just mastered the top-tier Dharma Body, yet you can control so many top-tier Dharma Bodies and even manage to break through the defenses of Prosperous Martial Marquis, who leads two hundred Imperial Guard Camp, causing minor injuries."
"If it were a one-on-one arena battle, even if Prosperous Martial Marquis were a perfect Third Grade, you would still kill him."
Ye Yukong laughed and said, "If you go to the Daoist temple to Great Dao Competition, you will be a god-like existence in the Daoist temple!"
The dojo's god! Ye Yukong's evaluation is very high!
This is not without precedent; Liu Tianning's track record speaks for itself.
After exchanging boasts, the two eventually steered the conversation back to Grand Luck Market.
"Brother Ye, there's only one Grand Luck Coin. How should we divide it?"
"Here you go. I've already broken through, so it's not very useful to me anymore."
"The sword in my hand is destiny, it is the rule," Ye Yukong said proudly.
"Brother, you don't know this, I'm incredibly strong now, I can easily carry you—" —Oh no!
Ye Yukong's expression suddenly changed. "Brother, run!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. He didn't sense any danger. His clone had been sent out to keep watch for over thirty miles.
"Leave Huangze County immediately!" Ye Yukong's tone was somewhat anxious. "The Intelligence Division just issued a warning because the Prosperous Martial Marquis, who was guarding the Dongze Pass, suddenly died. Illusionary Nether King has ordered the Mechanism Master Qi Jun to indiscriminately bomb Huangze County!"
"We need to conduct an emergency evacuation!"
Qi Jun is the chief Mechanism Master under the Illusionary Nether King Mo. He is Third Grade master craftsman and commands a powerful army of mechanics.
Zhao Xing was startled.
"How much longer do we have to evacuate?"
Ye Yukong took out Earth Mirror and projected a map:
A red dot was flashing above, indicating the approximate location of Ye Yukong and Zhao Xing.
"Fifteen large armies have been dispatched from the Earth Passage Division and Tower Ship Office of Dongze County and Yuanming County!"
"The bombing has begun!"
"Retreat from this direction of Yuanming County!" Zhao Xing pointed to the map, and two clones grabbed Ye Yukong's shoulders from the left and right.
The Tears Scale Horizon was activated, and he immediately began to flee with Ye Yukong!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Wisps of clouds burst apart in the low sky.
I left just a quarter of an hour ago.
Zhao Xing then discovered that he couldn't fly very high.
A beam of light shone from all directions in the desolate swamp, and this beam of light quickly curved and spread like waves.
They sealed off Huangze County in a very short time.
"!"
Zhao Xing activated the Ruler of the Horizon, but crashed headfirst into the barrier.
"The sky has been sealed off by the Boundary Marker Formation."
"Break, break, break, break, break, break, break!" Ye Yukong drew his longsword and instantly unleashed over a hundred strikes.
But this barrier can't be broken!
"They're coming for me!" Ye Yukong cursed. "This is Ceasefire and sealing formation formed by Ninth Order Boundary Marker!"
"The martial artist's secret technique will be weakened by 80%."
Oh no!
Zhao Xing's face darkened when he saw the pale blue Magic Array.
It's not just because Ye Yukong's strength was limited by 80%.
"The Boundary Marker that allows entry but not Ceasefire is a preparation for the subsequent bombing."
"Get down!"
Zhao Xing grabbed Ye Yukong, and all his clones quickly descended.
"Boom!"
Just then, the forest they had been in suddenly exploded, sending up a huge mushroom cloud.
The forest had become a sea of fire, and huge shockwaves of flame spread outwards.
The sky was illuminated!
Zhao Xing had a clone that was positioned slightly behind, which was immediately shattered.
"Holy crap, Ninth Order Fire Source Divine Cannon?"
Ye Yukong started cursing.
"That bastard, Illusionary Nether King, is utterly depraved!"
Although not many people live in Huangze County, there are still some.
Using the Fire Source Divine Cannon to bombard is absolutely insane!
"Even at cost, a single Fire Source Divine Crystal costs 800 million. Is it worth it to lose a Prosperous Martial Marquis?"
Of course, Ye Yukong has broken through to the Second Rank, and Zhao Xing still has nearly two hundred Dharma bodies here.
The Military Realm Pass is a strategic military location, and it's not a matter of money at all; it's something we must defend at all costs!
Swish~
Zhao Xing also put all his effort into running away.
Now the only option is to run away.
Because the Fire Source Divine Cannon is Mechanical Heavy Weapons with an extremely long range, Qi Jun, the Mechanism Master, was probably firing it from thousands of miles away, making it impossible for them to find and kill him.
"Boom!"
A quarter of an hour later, another streak of fiery red light swiftly fell to the ground.
"Boom!"
The second Fire Source Divine Cannon is activated!
A real barrage of artillery fire!
Every profession has its abnormal aspects, and now Zhao Xing and Ye Yukong have encountered absolute suppression from the Mechanism Master!
"Run underground!"
Zhao Xing's clones immediately disappeared underground, leaving only two on the surface to guide the way and observe the situation.
He carried Ye Yukong underground, traveling for about half an hour, when suddenly the earth shook.
The Earth Vein suddenly became extremely weak, and Zhao Xing's speed decreased significantly.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yukong asked.
"We have to go up," Zhao Xing said in a deep voice.
"Mechanism Divine Needle shot down from the sky."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yukong immediately shook his head. "They really think highly of me."
The reason it is described as a "prayer- Mechanism Divine Needle" is that it is relatively small in size when placed in large-scale Engineer School machinery.
In fact, each one is 100 meters high and 10 meters in diameter!
Zhao Xing, who was observing from the ground, could see eighteen prayer Mechanism Divine Needle descending from the sky.
"It smells amazing!"
The magic needle seemed to pierce through tofu, inserting itself into the soil.
"Click click click click click~"
After a third of it had sunk in, the black cylinder began to emit a thick yellow mist.
Yellow light flowed through the secret patterns on the body's surface, vibrating at a unique frequency.
"The Ninth Order Mechanism Divine Needle, crafted by Mechanism Master, can suppress the Earth Vein's Earth Vein, causing them to hide deep within. Simultaneously, the Earth Vein will tremble with a unique rhythm, rendering all escape techniques ineffective."
"It's like the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle, except the Mechanism Divine Needle stabilizes the earth!"
Even if Ye Yukong possessed treasures that allowed him to burrow underground, they would all be rendered useless at this moment.
If someone is already underground, then there is no other possibility than being crushed to death by the earth.
Both men came from military backgrounds and were very familiar with this type of large, heavy equipment.
The Boundary Marker and the Great Array of Ceasefire were sealed off, the Fire Source Divine Cannon bombarded the area, and the Prayer Mechanism Divine Needle prohibited people from escaping underground.
There was truly no way to go to heaven or earth.
The key point is that even if the people trapped here wanted to fight desperately, they couldn't.
None of the Mechanism Master are here, how can we fight?
They are not afraid of being damaged, because both the Boundary Marker and the Mechanism Divine Needle are made of Ninth Order materials.
With 80% of his strength restricted, Ye Yukong simply couldn't break through!
But—it seems they've overlooked my existence? Zhao Xing couldn't help but think.
Rumble~
The bombing continues.
Ye Yukong gradually came to understand despair.
It feels similar to when Ji Xi faced the Ten Thousand Layer Mountain of the Kunyuan Academy.
There was no way to escape, no way to resist!
"You really think highly of me." Ye Yukong shook his head with a smile. "Unfortunately, I haven't killed any enemies since I entered the Second Rank. "Ye Yukong believed that he could not escape.
Fortunately, Zhao Xing Xinglai was only a clone, but he would lose two ancient coins.
"Brother, don't give up, there's always a way!" Zhao Xing encouraged. "Can they keep bombing?"
"But my strength is limited," Ye Yukong and said, "I can hardly withstand the bombing unless I avoid the core area every time and only resist the aftershocks."
"To cleanse an entire prefecture, a saturation attack, nine is the limit," Zhao Xing said.
"I can keep you with me in Huangze County for a long time! Enough to hold out until reinforcements arrive."
"Alright, give it a try. The worst that can happen is you die," Ye Yukong laughed. This level of battlefield...
He was quite philosophical about the fact that reinforcements wouldn't arrive for at least an hour.
Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.
He broke through to the Heavenly Luck Realm, but also faced a high-intensity siege. Perhaps this was fate, and Ye Yukong was destined to suffer such a calamity.
"The Divine Luo King is already on his way. Only Mechanism Master can break Mechanism Master, but it will take him at least an hour to deal with Qi Jun."
"Come with me." Zhao Xing put the Grand Luck Coin, along with another Mountains and Seas Coin, into Ye Yukong's pocket.
They then continued to hide with him in Huangze County.
"Boom!"
The third one has fallen!
The landing point of the Fire Source Divine Cannon is very important.
Zhao Xing estimated that nine Fire Source Divine Cannon would be enough to turn the entire Huangze County into a living hell.
In reality, nine pills are not needed at all.
By the time he got the fourth one, Zhao Xing's "Ruler of the Horizon" was no longer usable!
Because the fire elemental energy was in extreme chaos.
At this moment, the fiery red shockwave alone, along with the raging earth fire, would be enough to burn Second Rank to death!
Fortunately, Ruler of the Horizon is a divine skill that can teleport, and even after four Fire Source Divine Cannon hit, the two of them still didn't die!
"Found it!"
Zhao Xing led Ye Yukong quickly to the side of a Mechanism Divine Needle.
This Chunji Mechanism Divine Needle is purely of the Earth element, and at this moment it is radiating a rich Earth attribute energy.
"Although the five elements of the Earth Vein have been suppressed, it only prevents the use of escape techniques; other Earthly Advantage Faction spells are not hindered."
"Beside this earth-attribute prayer Mechanism Divine Needle, my spells can be greatly enhanced—"
"Earth Spirit Guard!"
Just before the shockwave arrived, Zhao Xing's remaining thirty-eight clones simultaneously unleashed the ultimate Earth Treasury Art!
[Earth Spirit Guard] is a move from the Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art, which is derived from the Ultimate Law "Profound Yellow Earth Splitting".
"Metaphor~"
The yellow mist emanating from beside the Prayer Mechanism Divine Needle suddenly shone brightly.
The Earth Treasury Art can be stacked; the thirty-eight clones immediately erected a Earth Spirit Barrier.
"Boom boom boom~"
The fiery red shockwave had weakened considerably by the time it reached the Mechanism Divine Needle.
When it reached the Earth Spirit Barrier again, it had weakened by another level.
"The only way to survive in this entire killing formation, we must hold on!" Zhao Xing stared intently ahead.
No sooner said than done, the shockwave arrived just as the Earth Spirit Barrier was erected.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The Earth Spirit Barrier kept breaking, but there were as many as thirty-eight layers of Earth Spirit Barrier here!
The Earth Spirit Barrier beside the prayer Mechanism Divine Needle kept breaking down.
Layer by layer, it shattered, and it looked like the thirty-eighth layer was about to completely crumble. Zhao Xing's casting speed could no longer keep up with the speed of the shattering.
The sudden surge of impact was significantly weakened at this Mechanism Divine Needle due to the interference of multiple Fire Source Divine Cannon!
This is a completely random event!
Even the Mechanism Master himself couldn't possibly determine where the weak points would be.
And that's exactly what happened!
Good luck is coming!
"Boom boom~"
The Earth Spirit Barrier was like a boulder in a roaring river, unshaken no matter how the flames surged against it.
The flames were split in two. Because the Mechanism Divine Needle continuously provided the Earth Vein power, Zhao Xing brought the power of this Earth Treasury Art to its limit!
"Awesome!" Ye Yukong exclaimed in admiration.
"Hahahaha, destiny is on my side! Those bastards can't break through my last layer of defense!" Zhao Xing shouted excitedly.
A moment later, the shockwave dissipated.
The ground was now completely open.
After multiple rounds of bombing, the entire Huangze County was completely devoid of life, reduced to scorched earth!
The original town has basically disappeared, leaving only the eighteen prayer Mechanism Divine Needle, Jiali.
However, there was no chance to catch one's breath.
"Click click click~"
The smooth cylinder at the top of the Prayer Mechanism Divine Needle suddenly cracked open, revealing ten Mechanical Puppet.
"Huh?" Zhao Xing and Ye Yukong immediately looked up.
"Eighth-tier Mechanical Puppet, Great Sun Vajra!"
These Mechanical Puppet are all depicted as bald, muscular men, with a dark gold color throughout.
Its shoulders are covered in dark gold spikes, and its eyes radiate flames, capable of spewing out Sun True Fire.
"He's still alive?" Qi Jun's voice came in surprise. "Is this the Earth Treasury Art? He's incredibly lucky— Ye Yukong actually has a treasure capable of supporting the Earth Spirit Barrier."
"Ye Yukong!"
The ten Mechanical Puppet spoke in unison, their hoarse voices emanating from them—it was the voice of the Mechanism Master Qi Jun.
"Surrender."
"It's such a pity you died like this."
"If you are willing to serve our king, you will not only live, but also have the opportunity to become a first-rank expert."
Qi Jun's voice came through the Mechanical Puppet. He couldn't see inside the barrier, so he could only observe from the outside.
They kept analyzing how long Ye Yukong, this treasure, could last.
At this moment, it had no idea that Zhao Xing was here, because Zhao Xing's true form was in the Star Palace and had not appeared in the deduction at all.
He assumed that Ye Yukong had activated it using a treasure he possessed.
"Qi Jun, why are you attacking me? Haven't I already pledged allegiance to the Liang King?"
Qi Jun couldn't see inside, but Ye Yukong, who was inside the Earth Spirit Barrier, could see outside.
Upon hearing this, Qi Jun was taken aback:
"What do you mean?"
"You've pledged allegiance to our king?"
Ye Yukong, "Why do you think I'm here?"
Qi Jun was taken aback, then sneered:
"Alright! Stop stalling for time. I'm not going to fall for your tricks."
"Swear an oath of allegiance with your Fate Soul right now, and I will dismantle the great formation and spare your life. You have only ten breaths."
Think about it!
Seeing that Ye Yukong couldn't hold out much longer, Zhao Xing couldn't help but speak up, "Qi Jun, you're truly a useless piece of trash! Who gave you the right to send troops without authorization? You've completely ruined my grand plan!"
"Huh? There's another expert?" Qi Jun was taken aback. He thought there was no one else here. Recalling Ye Yukong's words and hearing Zhao Xing's self-proclaimed expertise, Qi Jun asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
"You fool, Ye Yukong is truly loyal! I ask you, who gave you permission to send troops?!" Zhao Xing immediately turned the tables.
"I am none other than Illusionary Nether King —who exactly are you?!" Qi Jun shouted, "Stop playing tricks! Ye Yukong killed Prosperous Martial Marquis, and my dispatch of troops was ordered personally by Illusionary Nether King! What's wrong with that?"
"Who exactly are you? If what you say is true, let me know immediately, or I will attack right now!"
"Qi Jun, you have quite the airs. When I was on friendly terms with the Prince of Liang King, you were probably still somewhere fixing rivets. Is this how you recruit talent for him?"
"My identity is top secret, and so is this operation."
"You really want to know? Hmph, how many heads do you have to chop off?"
"You should have heard of Ye Yukong's reputation. If he wanted to break through to the Second Rank, he could simply make a request to the imperial court, and it would be a piece of cake. Why would he come here to break through?"
"Use your brain! Why is that?!"
Ye Yukong looked at Zhao Xing and was taken aback.
Dude, you're really good at pretending.
Sure enough, Qi Jun was actually silenced. Ten breaths had passed, but he still didn't move.
The main reason was that Zhao Xing and Ye Yukong's on-the-spot teamwork was excellent.
Ye Yukong's breakthrough to the Second Rank here is already quite suspicious.
Dongze County is a strategic pass for the Military Realm and a vital cultural location.
What is he doing here if he has nothing to do?
How could he suddenly kill Prosperous Martial Marquis? And who is this mysterious expert who managed to survive in such a grand formation with Ye Yukong?
Thousands of miles away, Qi Jun couldn't help but touch his bald head, his eyes glazed over.
Could this really be some kind of secret operation?
Is the level so high that even the person in question is unaware of it?
No, if I don't know, why don't I just ask Illusionary Nether King?
Surely he couldn't possibly not know either, right?
Zhao Xing pressed his advantage, softening his tone as he said, "Qi Jun, you almost ruined my grand plan, but there's still a chance to salvage it. I'll give you a string of confidential code; report it to Illusionary Nether King immediately."
"You might not recognize him, but he definitely will."
"But---."
"Stop talking nonsense and start taking notes!" Zhao Xing shouted.
"Yes, yes."
On Zhao Xing's Earth Spirit Barrier, the power of earth element rippled, slowly flashing a series of symbols and patterns.
"Did you remember?" Zhao Xing asked casually.
"Yes, I've remembered." Qi Jun's tone unconsciously became more respectful.
"Report this to Illusionary Nether King immediately!"
"Yes.""
In Yuanming County, in an underground mechanical city, Qi Jun immediately found a basin of water.
A dark face immediately appeared in the basin of water.
"Qi Jun, is the target dead?" Illusionary Nether King asked.
"Your Highness, things have changed," Qi Jun said. "Ye Yukong seems to have defected to us, and a mysterious expert is with him."
"Oh?" Illusionary Nether King asked in confusion, "A mysterious expert?"
"Yes, he said his identity was top secret, his actions were top secret, and he even said that he was on friendly terms with the king."
"Fake!" Illusionary Nether King sneered. "I've never heard of this operation."
"Quickly eliminate Ye Yukong and return to Seven Souls Pass. The imperial reinforcements are arriving soon; they are stalling for time!"
"Your Highness, he seems to really be one of us. That mysterious man gave me a string of confidential code, saying that Your Highness would understand once he took a look."
Qi Jun then unleashed his energy, perfectly replicating what Zhao Xing had shown.
At first, Illusionary Nether King didn't believe it, but as he watched, he fell silent.
Because the confidential code that Zhao Xing provided was not fake!
In his previous life, Zhao Xing had served in the Liang King's camp. After the Liang King's defeat, Zhao Xing unlocked those confidential files many years later.
Naturally, they knew about some of the secret activities that the Liang King's camp had been carrying out.
After reading it, Illusionary Nether King was somewhat shocked.
Because this is the opening code of the top-secret operation, "Heaven Stealing Plan".
This plan is a defection plan, which involves sending certain powerful individuals to the imperial court's camp to act as internal agents.
The Illusionary Nether King himself is the beneficiary of this plan!
The only difference between this string of messages is the executor and the target; the rest of the codes are very similar!
Of course, there are also many discrepancies.
The other party used some obsolete codes.
The problem is that Illusionary Nether King doesn't know whether this has been reactivated.
Because he wasn't qualified to know the full details; it was planned by a high-ranking member of the Profound Heaven Sect who served the prince.
The Illusionary Nether King remained silent for a moment before saying, "You shall do it this way—"
Qi Jun was startled upon hearing this, then cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Inside the Earth Spirit Barrier, Ye Yukong saw that there was no movement above, and his heart began to beat faster.
He never expected that the impromptu scene he co-starred in with Zhao Xing would actually work.
A moment later, Qi Jun's voice rang out again.
"You bastard, how dare you deceive me!"
Ye Yukong slightly. Sure enough, this kind of trick could only buy him a little while.
It would be a miracle if they could even hold out for a little while.
Normally, the other party should have taken action long ago.
Zhao Xing thought so too, because he wasn't sure if it would work, since he couldn't quite remember the exact time. The codes and symbols were just something he had pieced together randomly.
Whether it works or not depends entirely on luck.
Just as they were about to give up, Qi Jun above suddenly fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Qi Jun's voice reached the Earth Spirit Barrier: "My lord, please advise me on how I should cooperate to remedy the situation."
Ye Yukong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
Zhao Xing was also somewhat surprised. Was this really acceptable?
"Qi Jun, the imperial reinforcements are about to arrive. If you let us leave directly, there will be problems."
"Keep firing a few more Fire Source Divine Cannon, aiming south," Zhao Xing said. "Once the imperial forces have arrived, you can retreat."
Zhao Xing is currently located to the north. If the Fire Source Divine Cannon is thrown to the south, its power will be greatly reduced by the time it reaches this area.
"As for what to do when leaving, I don't need to say more."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Qi Jun replied respectfully. "I will have Ritual Cultivator cast Forget Worry Method on me; I will not remember your voice, nor will I remember Lord Ye joining us."
"Okay, go ahead." Zhao Xing nodded.
"Yes.""
After a while, an airburst sound came from above.
The ten Mechanical Puppet completed their self-destruction.
Inside the Earth Spirit Barrier, Ye Yukong was utterly stunned.
"This works? Brother—do you really know Liang King and his secrets?"
Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "It was just a lucky accident. Heaven Derivation King and I once raided an important stronghold of the Profound Heaven Sect, and some of their secret communication methods were recorded there."
"I suspect that even the Illusionary Nether King only has a superficial understanding of this."
This statement was half true and half false. When they raided one of the Blood Spirit Venerable's strongholds at sea, Zhao Xing was the first to discover it, and there were indeed some confidential communications inside.
However, what Zhao Xing gave out was relatively more authentic.
Zhao Xing hadn't expected it to work.
Because there are too many loopholes, it will be ineffective if Illusionary Nether King is either fully aware of the situation or completely unaware of it.
Unfortunately, Illusionary Nether King happened to be someone who only had a superficial understanding.
Why didn't Illusionary Nether King report or inquire about it?
Firstly, there's no way to ask. Just like when Heaven Derivation King asked Luo King to mobilize troops, Luo King asked Heaven Derivation King what was going on, but Heaven Derivation King didn't tell Luo King.
Even with the Illusionary Nether King, he didn't know who to ask about such a secret.
Liang King is no longer in Pinghai Province, and the people in charge of this plan are mostly from Outer Sects. Illusionary Nether King does not want to cause trouble.
Although the three major legions under Liang King's command obeyed Liang King, they were not on the same page as the other two foreign legions.
If given more time, Illusionary Nether King could figure it out, but the problem is there isn't that much time; the imperial reinforcements are already on their way.
Killing Ye Yukong might not be a great achievement, but ruining a secret operation would definitely cause trouble.
His task was simply to guard the passage Military Realm; it was better to avoid trouble.
Thus, Zhao Xing's flawed response allowed him to get away with it.
"What incredible Qitian!" Ye Yukong exclaimed. "They actually managed to get away with it so easily."
"It's not all luck," Zhao Xing shook his head and said. "The forces under Liang King's rule are full of contradictions. He has only been subduing these forces for a few years, so it's impossible for him to achieve the same level of unity as the Great Zhou."
"The three forces— the Southern Barbarians, the sectarian factions, and the rebellious vassal kings of the Great Zhou —cannot possibly coexist harmoniously."
"If the Liang King were to set out to Pinghai Province, even the slightest setback would cause internal strife and collapse."
Ye Yukong nodded. "That's right, this is the Liang King Group's last madness."
He had also led troops before, and knew what it was like for the various factions under the Demon King to be at odds.
"!"
Just then, a Fire Source Divine Cannon shot down.
Because the bombing took place in the south, Zhao Xing and Ye Yukong found it easier to defend against it this time.
I barely had any strength left and endured an hour.
An hour later, reinforcements arrived.
Divine Luo King, also a Mechanism Master, arrived in Huangze County aboard a hundred warships.
The boundary-breaking Realm Ship easily passed through the Boundary Marker Ceasefire array, simultaneously scattering numerous shimmering blue markers from the ship.
They were sent to various places in Huangze County.
"The Origin-Suppressing is here." Ye Yukong looked at the fleet of warships in the sky. "The level of Yuan Qi frenzy has decreased."
They survived.
Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the price was really high. He almost lost Mingyue and money.
However, the final result was good; he received a Grand Luck Coin.
"Brother Ye, you're late." Divine Luo King descended from the sky on his Bamboo Horse horse. "Are you alright?"
"It's alright," Ye Yukong's voice came from the Earth Spirit Barrier.
"Hmm?" Divine Luo King looked at the dozens of figures slowly emerging from the barrier. "Zhao Xing is here too?"
"So, you were the one who cast this Earth Spirit Barrier?"
"Greetings, Divine Luo King." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting. "It is I."
Divine Luo King examined the Prayer Mechanism Divine Needle, then glanced at Zhao Xing, a hint of admiration flashing across his face. "Impressive, using the Earth Element Mechanism Divine Needle to perform the Earth Treasury Art, no wonder you were able to hold out for so long."
"Zhao Xing, you've already reached the top-tier Dharma Body level, haven't you?"
"Yes." Zhao Xing didn't hide anything.
"Impressive," Divine Luo King couldn't help but praise. "Without you, Yu Kong would have had to go to the Yin Realm this time."
Ye Yukong, "Shinra, let's talk aboard."
"Alright." Divine Luo King nodded. "Let's get on the ship."
After inviting Ye Yukong and Zhao Xing onto the ship, more than a dozen dark gold, mystical chain chains appeared on the Divine Luo King's body.
Wrap the Mechanism Divine Needle Entanglement and around.
Each chain has sharp spikes piercing the patterns of the scimitar Mechanism Divine Needle.
"Rise!"
Boom!
The prayer Mechanism Divine Needle was pulled out.
Since the Mechanism Divine Needle was launched from a distance, it would be impossible to retrieve it so quickly without gaining control of the battlefield.
Of the eighteen prayer Mechanism Divine Needle, Qi Jun only took fifteen; the remaining three were left in Huangze County.
The three prayer Mechanism Divine Needle were thus seized by the Divine Luo King.
"Whoosh whoosh~"
After cleaning up the battlefield, Divine Luo King led his men to retreat and returned to his residence, Divine Luo County.
This is the territory of the Divine Luo King, and also his defensive zone.
After returning to the city, Ye Yukong and the Divine Luo King talked about what had happened.
"What? Brother Ye, you've broken through?" Divine Luo King asked in surprise.
"Yes." Ye Yukong nodded. "By chance, Brother Zhao found a Grand Luck Coin, and he gave it to me, which allowed me to break through to the Heavenly Luck Realm."
"Chen'an actually knows how to use Grand Luck Coin?" The way the Divine Luo King looked at Zhao Xing changed, as if he were looking at a treasure. Zhao Xing couldn't stand the Divine Luo King's burning gaze.
Divine Luo King is also bald and very burly. Who could resist such a strong man staring at you with such burning eyes?
"Brother Ye is being modest. Actually, this Grand Luck Coin is already unsealed," Zhao Xing said. "It's not that I know any secret techniques."
Who owns the Grand Luck Coin?
"His," Ye Yukong pointed at Zhao Xing.
"Brother Zhao," Divine Luo King immediately looked at Zhao Xing, "I have a favor to ask."
"Divine Luo King, please speak."
"Could I use it too?" Divine Luo King.
No one wants to be promoted by the imperial court if they can break through to the Heavenly Luck Realm on their own, since that would mean being controlled by the court.
A single imperial edict can bring it back.
"This is a bit taboo—." Zhao Xing, somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Yukong and he discovered each other by chance, and that was fine.
If you actively try to seize the fortune of Pinghai Province, it's tantamount to devouring the fortune yourself.
The fortune of Pinghai Province belongs to the imperial court; how can it be seized at will? What difference would that make between us and the Liang King?
The imperial court may bestow it upon you, but if it doesn't give it to you, you cannot take it!
Unless, this fortune never truly belonged to the Great Zhou.
Divine Luo King, of course, knew this, and he immediately smiled and said, "Chen'an, don't worry about that."
"What I seek is not the destiny of the Nineteen Provinces."
"If it doesn't belong to the Great Zhou, then naturally there's no taboo against it."
"Oh?" Zhao Xing vaguely guessed what was going on.
The Divine Luo King, "Now the Liang King has gone completely mad, attempting to defy the heavens. He has invited wolves into the house, allowing numerous Southern Barbarians and Extraterritorial Demonic Person to enter Pinghai Province."
"The fortune these experts carry does not belong to the Great Zhou."
Zhao Xing listened quietly.
"As long as I kill these people," Divine Luo King, "With the Grand Luck Coin nearby, I can absorb the luck attached to them."
"I didn't seize the original destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so no one can say anything about it."
Zhao Xing had known all along that the Divine Luo King would say that; in reality, his earlier expression of difficulty was just for show.
He knew this tactic all along, but if he agreed so easily, how could others remember the favor?
Moreover, he was also afraid that the Divine Luo King might act recklessly, absorbing fortune through the Grand Luck Coin. It was difficult to distinguish at this time whether the fortune absorbed was from the Great Zhou Great Zhou or not.
The Divine Luo King seemed to sense Zhao Xing's worries and immediately said, "If Chen'an is still worried, you can keep the Grand Luck Coin and control them."
"You are one of Heaven Derivation King's men, so you can directly address this matter with Heaven Derivation King. I don't think he will object."
"Alright, please allow me to ask you some questions." Zhao Xing nodded.
At the Star Palace, Zhao Xing's true form immediately contacted Heaven Derivation King.
"You obtained a Grand Luck Coin? And it's even unsealed?" Heaven Derivation King was taken aback. "You're quite lucky, kid."
"It wasn't just my luck; Bright Moon Prefecture Lord also had it."
"However, Divine Luo King has now made a request of me, which I have not granted. I would like to ask Your Highness for your opinion."
Heaven Derivation King smiled and said, "As long as the real killers are Extraterritorial Demonic Person or powerful figures from the Southern Barbarians, there's no problem with it."
"Of course, you need to report your actions."
"Are you sure there's no problem?" Zhao Xing asked, confirming.
"Of course," Heaven Derivation King. "In fact, there are already a large number of demons and powerful Southern Barbarians barbarians in Pinghai Province. Even without the Grand Luck Coin, killing them will transfer some of the fortune."
"The strong in the imperial court also belong to the Great Zhou. Their growth in fortune is equivalent to the growth of the dynasty's fortune."
"In fact, the imperial court is about to issue this decree as a benefit for the powerful."
Emperor Jing really didn't spend any of his own money; he even considered this as a form of welfare.
Zhao Xing didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and said, "I understand."
After receiving confirmation from the Fate Officials Heaven Derivation King, Zhao Xing agreed to the request of the Divine Luo King.
Although the Third Grade Mechanism Master, Divine Luo King, was not a peerless genius, he was still a second-tier powerhouse.
The key point is that Divine Luo King is still young; he is only a little over three hundred years old and has several hundred more years to live.
It's absolutely worth it to gain his favor.
The key is to choose the right target.
Unexpectedly, Divine Luo King already had a target in mind.
"Under the King of Liang King, there are four great demon messengers: Wind, Rain, Thunder, Cloud, all of whom are Extraterritorial Demonic Person."
"Wait, you're not talking about the first rank, are you?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.
Are all Mechanism Master this audacious? Daring to set their sights on a first-rank official.
"Of course I don't intend to kill a First-Rank official," Divine Luo King laughed. "I don't have the ability either, unless I find an exceptional opportunity, like Illusionary Nether King or Qi Jun, who can set up a grand formation. But where would I find such an opportunity?"
"I am referring to the twelve Banner Holder Envoy Wind, Rain, Thunder, Cloud."
"Besides that, the princes of the Four Great Royal Courts of the Southern Barbarians are also my top priority targets."
"They are all people blessed with great fortune!"
"If it were any ordinary person, I could kill them without a second thought," Divine Luo King. "Those with great destiny are surely blessed by heaven; they are very difficult to kill."
"However, things are different with Grand Luck Coin."
"With their fortunes clashing, nothing strange will happen that would allow them to escape," Divine Luo King. "If I can kill any one of them at this level, I can achieve a breakthrough."
"The second tier consists of the main generals of the Southern Barbarians, and the Guardian Art and elders among the Extraterritorial Demonic Person."
"They also carry a destiny, or the destiny of an army."
"However, among this group of people, the number of Second Rank and Third Grade is about 50/50, so one person alone might not be enough for me to break through."
Looking at the list and intelligence, Ye Yukong couldn't help but laugh and said, "You, Divine Luo King, have been watching this for a long time. You've figured out exactly which heads are easy to chop off and which are not."
Divine Luo King: "Brother Ye, you know my situation. If I can't break through this time, I don't know when I'll be able to break through to the Second Rank. In this day and age, it's not easy to get ahead by doing things."
The Divine Luo King was referring to Emperor Jing, and everyone was well aware of the emperor's temperament.
He was completely different from Wen Emperor. Emperor Jing's two reforms mainly did two things: first, weaken the power of the princes and take away their rights; second, cut the flesh of the powerful Noble Families and nobles by lowering their ranks, rewards and privileges again and again.
Of course, the brothers and sisters were all killed by the Liang King, and the policies were all implemented by Prime Minister Liu Si.
What does this have to do with the wise and powerful Emperor Jing?
Now the Liang King has rebelled, Liu Si is dead.
Everyone held Emperor Jing in even greater awe.
I have little confidence in serving under him.
It's not that you can't do it, but if you do, you have to be prepared to be used until you die.
Zhao Xing could understand the Divine Luo King very well!
He knew that after the end of the Jingxin Calendar, it would be difficult to get promoted and receive a higher rank.
Di Yi on having children that he rarely promoted officials to higher ranks during the two reigns.
"Since the Divine Luo King has made arrangements, I will not say anything more. Just give the order whenever you need it," Zhao Xing said.
"Good, that's great!" Divine Luo King clapped his hands and said, "Brother Zhao, I don't see you need any money or treasures."
"If you ever need anything in the future, as long as it doesn't violate the laws of the imperial court, I can do three things for you."
"It's a deal." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
In just a few words, cause and effect were already established.
A powerful figure like the Divine Luo King will find a way to repay Zhao Xing's favor in the future, so there is no need for any contract to bind him.
In the 36th year of the Jingxin Calendar, in early July, Zhao Xing, carrying the clone of the Grand Luck Coin, stayed in Divine Luo County awaiting the orders of the Divine Luo King.
Meanwhile, his other clones were still doing two things.
They ransacked homes and rescued people.
However, Pinghai Province is in turmoil now, and even though Zhao Xing has the luck of Evolution Six, he has not found anything good.
High-quality items are everywhere, and people with good fortune also have their own unique luck. Without his own true form appearing and without using the other two ancient coins, it's unlikely that Zhao Xing will have any more extraordinary encounters.
In July of the thirty-sixth year of the Jingxin Calendar, Zhao Xing did not encounter any extraordinary events, and his focus shifted to saving people.
On July 15th, the battle in Anping Prefecture became critical, and even the prefectural city was threatened.
Zhao Xing's clone, who was staying in Anping Prefecture, immediately covered the retreat of the future prime minister, Wei Xuancheng, who was currently only Fifth Grade official, and his brother.
On July 26th, in Stillwind Prefecture, the Divine Weaving Dao Academy was ambushed by the Corpse Ghost Sect Outer Sects.
Zhao Xing's clone, who was staying in Stillwind Prefecture, rescued the Weaving Girl official "Xia Caiwei" and moved her to a safe location.
In Pinghai Province, which has forty-five prefectures, there is basically an avatar of Zhao Xing in every prefecture.
The network of connections built up by the People-Saving Plan also provided Zhao Xing with great convenience.
Even if he couldn't provide timely rescue, he could still squeeze people into the first evacuation team.
A few low-ranking individuals were placed in the evacuation team, making them quite inconspicuous.
August 3rd, Tianyuan Prefecture.
Wang Zhongjing, Seventh Grade physician, contacted the person in charge of Shelter No. 45 through a friend and requested that a batch of emergency medical supplies be mobilized, but the person in charge refused.
Upon learning this, Zhao Xing severely reprimanded the person in charge and personally delivered the supplies to Wang Zhongjing.
On the 14th of the eighth month of the 36th year of the Jingxin Calendar, the wandering sorcerer "Xun" was rescued.
On the same day, the Five Elements Moxi Fa was rescued.
On the third day of the ninth month, the Divine Luo King and the Bright Moon Prefecture Lord joined forces and set their sights on Yan Da of the Golden Feather Royal Court.
This person is only Fourth Grade, but his luck level is as high as seventh-rank, and occasionally even eighth-rank.
However, Yan Da was surrounded by many experts, and even had Second Rank protector.
Divine Luo King had not found a suitable opportunity until mid-October, when he finally found a good chance.
On October 19th, the Liang King out of Pinghai Province and appeared in his hometown of Lüliang Province.
The four demon envoys, Wind, Rain, Thunder, Cloud, joined forces to create a state-level typhoon in the two states as cover.
On the same day, Li Boqian, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, appeared at Tianyuan Prefecture.
The twelve Solar Terms Decree issued from the four directions of Pinghai Province: east, west, south, and north.
Twelve Lesser Agriculture Decree, including Wang Tianzhi, appeared in Lüliang Province.
The Solar Terms Decree created by the Great Zhou was all unveiled on this day.
The colossal whirlwind vanished without a trace in less than half a day.
October 20th.
Kunyuan Academy excavated thirteen Ancient Earth Path connecting Pinghai Province to the other prefectures.
Xuan Yuan Qingtian, the leader of the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong, appeared in the center of Pinghai Province carrying a sacred Spirit Mountain on his back.
Wielding one of the divine artifacts, the "Mountain and River Diagram," he activated the Mountains and Rivers Forever Solid," a spell whose range covered the entire Pinghai Province!
The destructive power of high-level experts against heaven and earth is reduced by 99%.
On the same day, the first-rank Evil God "Blood Kui Heavenly Venerable" unleashed the large-scale spell "Blood Kui Sky Curtain".
In Pinghai Province and Lüliang Province, large amounts of blood appeared in the air, attempting to defile the temple.
The Bone Heavenly Venerable Wu Venerable's "Ten Thousand Bones Resurrection" caused the withered bones buried in the Nineteen Provinces to crawl up from the ground and water, and the white bones reassembled into "White Bone Divine General," which wreaked havoc on the prefectures and counties.
The Mountain Ghost Heavenly Venerable summoned ancient mountain spirits from two states, and terrifying ghostly wails echoed from countless mountain peaks.
On the same day, Priest Bu Guangheng entered Pinghai Province.
The Six Divine Temples worships: God of Destiny, God of Increased Calculation, God of Rebirth, God of Deliverance from Calamity, God of Longevity, and God of Prosperity, who appeared in Lüliang Province.
The three Heavenly Venerables, Wu Gu, Shan Gui, Blood Kui, fled in terror.
The next day, it was white.
Emperor Jing's three main guards, the Divine Lodging, the Golden Guard, Luan Yi Army, were mobilized.
Also entering with them were the seven commanders of the armies originally belonging to Reaching Seclusion, Nine Heavens, Yellow Springs, Dark Nether, Heavenly Granary, Grand Void, and Wuyao Army.
Half of the three major legions controlled by the King of Liang King came from these seven legions.
With the Priest's cooperation, half of the soldiers who were forced to rebel and forcibly accepted the rescue were stripped of the Black Dragon Luck and returned to normal.
The Seventh Army Commander regained control of part of the army.
The situation in Pinghai Province seemed to have reversed in a single day.
It was against this backdrop that Divine Luo King finally found his opportunity.
Yan Da was originally a hostage sent to Liang King, but seeing that things were not going well and that Liang King was becoming less vigilant, he led his elite guards and fled south on October 19th, attempting to cross the Canglan River and return to the Golden Feather Royal Court in the Southern Wilderness.
The flaw occurred when crossing the river.
The Canglan River had always been an important tool used by the Southern Barbarians to attack the Great Zhou.
After Liang King Pinghai Province, a massive uprising broke out on the Canglan River, with hundreds of celestial sorcerers joining forces to instigate the water vein riot.
The mighty river, like a water dragon soaring into the sky, rushed towards Pinghai Province.
However, the situation reversed so quickly that the hundreds of Heavenly Witches were so frightened that they fled.
Their escape turned the once-boiling Canglan River into a natural blockade.
Many generals from the Southern Wilderness who wanted to escape across the river were instead blocked by this great river.
Half of Yan Da's guards were scattered, leaving only one Second Rank and two Third Grade guards who were running eastward, trying to detour to the East Sea.
They used the territory of the Hong Yuanshou Hong Yuanba, to escape back to the Southern Wilderness.
However, at this time, the two brothers, Hong Yuanshou Hong Yuanba, were already dead!
Bai Yunwu, together with the other two major families and the Luan Yi Guards who appeared in the East Sea, launched a combined land and water attack on Hong Yuanshou and Hong Yuanba.
The rebellious East Sea Legion, since most of its members had their Black Dragon Luck dispelled by the Priest, had long since lost the will to follow the Hong Clan brothers in their rebellion.
As a result, they all turned against the Hong Clan brothers.
Hong Yuanshou was swallowed whole by Bai Yunwu, who had transformed into a giant dragon. Hong Yuanba and Heir Apparent Ji Chen disappeared without a trace.
Pinghai Province, in the southeast, is a place called Cuihe County.
Divine Luo King, Ye Yukong, Zhao Xing finally caught up with Yan Da.
"Run! Run again!" The voice of the Divine Luo King resounded over Cuihe County.
At this moment, a shimmering light also appeared over Cuihe County.
Boundary Marker Formation!
Within the territory of Cuihe County, there are five Mechanism Divine Needle stuck in the ground.
Since Cuihe County was already an abandoned place, Divine Luo King did not hesitate to take out his entire fortune.
At this moment, the situation of the little Yan Da is exactly the same as that of Ye Yukong and Zhao Xing.
The situation has simply reversed.
"Wow, that feels so good." Zhao Xing sat inside a colossal mechanical giant, [Divine Luo · Pang Yuan].
This is a Ninth Order Divine Soldier, the Divine Luo Mechanical Giant, which is part of a series.
The Divine Luo King was given this title because of his profound research into this series.
"Chasing people in a Gundam, the Divine Luo King Empire must be incredibly wealthy," Zhao Xing said with a smile as he looked down.
"What is Gundam?" Ye Yukong asked from inside the Machine Titan.
"It's rumored to be a series from Shinra, but it's been lost," Zhao Xing casually made up.
"Oh." Ye Yukong nodded. He didn't know either. If Zhao Xing said so, then it must be so.
"Brother Ye, aren't you going down to get some?" Zhao Xing asked.
"How am I supposed to get down?" Ye Yukong's face turned green. "The Divine Luo King is already preparing to Fire Source Divine Cannon."
"Hahaha.""
Ever since being Fire Source Divine Cannon, Lao Ye has been somewhat traumatized.
"Brother Ye, I reckon you'll have to make a move again later," Divine Luo King. "These guys have a lot of good stuff. I threw three Fire Source Divine Cannon, but they still didn't completely kill them."
"No problem, leave that Second Rank Five Elements sorcerer to me," Ye Yukong.
Now, only Yan Da and his Second Rank guard remain in the Magic Array.
The other two Third Grade have been killed in the explosion.
Otherwise, if Xuan Yuan Qingtian had used [Mountains and Rivers Forever Solid] and fired three Fire Source Divine Cannon, even Second Rank would probably have died.
However, after casting the Mountains and Rivers Forever Solid, the earth's Earth Vein were stabilized, and the power of the Fire Source Divine Cannon was greatly weakened, making it unable to trigger Earth Vein up.
"That's about enough, I'm activating the Boundary Wall Formation."
"They're here."
Ye Yukong opened the skylight and whooshed out.
Zhao Xing also jumped out to observe the battle.
"Your Highness, run first!"
The Second Rank guard emitted a blue light, and the water flowed out like silk, spreading far Yan Da.
The surging waters propelled him dozens of miles away.
"The power to distort the rules." Zhao Xing observed this scene. "The Heavenly Luck Realm is already showing signs of Heavenly Traversal."
"Nine Suns Detached Fire!" After seeing Yan Da, the Second Rank sorcerer unleashed nine more fire dragons from his body.
The dragon scales shimmered with light, and even the eyes seemed real; Zhao Xing couldn't see any flaws.
"Big brother, be careful," Zhao Xing couldn't help but remind him, because he noticed that the pillar of luck above Ye Yukong had dimmed slightly.
In other words, fighting this Second Rank earth magic user is still somewhat dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yukong immediately refused.
Damn it, when I broke through in Huangze County, I was showing off to my little brother, saying that I was invincible.
As a result, Qi Jun made him look foolish and embarrassed, which really damaged his image.
This time, we have to show our skills!
"I'm done for! The Sun and Moon Shine Together! Die!"
Ye Yukong was also driven by a strong desire to unleash his ultimate move right from the start.
At this moment Ye Yukong's figure could no longer be seen in the sky.
He seemed to live up to his name, having vanished into thin air.
The sword is gone too.
However, the world where Second Rank sorcerer resides is half night and half day.
Black and white were printed on his body, evenly distributed.
The next moment, black and white intertwined!
To the other's surprise, his body was split in two as black and white intertwined.
"You@----·
The Second Rank sorcerer cursed in a Southern Barbarians language.
Zhao Xing understood; it meant "brute".
"Whoosh!"
Ye Yukong's chest heaved slightly as he reappeared in the sky. With a flick of his wrist, he twirled his sword, then stood with his hands behind his back, striking a cool pose.
"Brother Ye is awesome!!"
Only when he heard a voice behind him did Ye Yukong stop his stance with satisfaction.
"So-so. I only used 20% of my strength and he collapsed. It wasn't very interesting."
Zhao Xing:
Divine Luo King:
.
If it weren't for the fact that they were chasing after Yan Da, Divine Luo King would definitely ask Ye Yukong if he could distinguish between the two. "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Prince Yan Da was still caught up.
"I have treasures, I'll hand them all over, please don't kill me."
He rummaged through his pockets and kept throwing out treasures.
The Divine Luo King would never listen.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Eight nooses emerged from behind him, like silver snakes, instantly spanning a distance of three thousand meters, binding the little Yan Da.
"Brother Zhao!" Divine Luo King's voice was somewhat excited.
"Here it comes!" Zhao Xing immediately activated the Ruler of the Horizon and threw the Grand Luck Coin to the Divine Luo King, while simultaneously activating the Mirage Pearl record.
"Pfft!" The moment the Grand Luck Coin was in his hand, Prince Yan Da's life ended.
Perhaps Divine Luo King was too excited and lost control of his strength, he actually minced Yan Da into a bloody pulp.
"Ahhhhh"
Divine Luo King, clutching the Grand Luck Coin, began to growl.
"?" Zhao Xing's gaze fell downwards.
After Yan Da was shredded, two items burst out of his body.
One of the transparent, sphere-like objects immediately caught Zhao Xing's attention.
"This is... the Heaven Spirit Pearl?"
Zhao Xing rushed over and scooped up both items.
Anything that can be integrated into the body is basically a treasure.
"It really is Heaven Spirit Pearl!" Zhao Xing's eyes lit up when he got it.
This is a spiritual item!
"All five elements of spiritual energy are present!" Zhao Xing glanced at it and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Five thick streams of spiritual energy swirled inside, emitting a seven-colored light.
"What's this good stuff?" Ye Yukong asked.
"The Heaven Spirit Pearl," Zhao Xing said. "A wondrous object that can ensure a continuous flow of life force."
"You really want it?" Ye Yukong saw Zhao Xing's desire.
"Yes, it's very important to me."
"Then I won't split it," Ye Yukong. "You just need to deal with the Divine Luo King."
"What can't be distinguished anymore?" Divine Luo King flew over.
He has completed the breakthrough.
"This one," Ye Yukong pointed to the Heaven Spirit Pearl, "Is a very important treasure to Brother Zhao."
"Divine Luo King, this treasure is very useful. I am willing to expend one opportunity to possess it exclusively. I wonder if Divine Luo King would agree?"
"Agreed," Divine Luo King grinned. "Agreed, agreed!"
The favor was repaid just like that, so why would he disagree?
Zhao Xing smiled too; the Heaven Spirit Pearl was definitely worth it.
"Everyone's happy," Ye Yukong laughed. "Shenluo has broken through to the Second Rank, and you've obtained a rare item. We should head back now. The Liang King's power is waning, and the court has issued a kill order. Accumulating merits will be quite easy now."
"Walk!"
Starting in October, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The intelligence, like snowflakes, drifted into Zhao Xing's Earth Mirror.
In just one month, all the rebel kings were wiped out one after another.
Zhao Xing's clone was also at its busiest.
In this final stage, he also began to engage in activities such as gaining fame, confiscating property, and rescuing people.
October 15th, the 36th year of the Jingxin Calendar.
Most of the rebel kings and Outside Forces in Pinghai Province have been wiped out, leaving only a small group of people fleeing among them. The recovery of the East China East Sea is the slowest, because the many islands require too many manpower.
November 25th, the 36th year of the Jingxin Calendar.
Zhao Xing received the message.
Liang King was besieged in Zhenxun Royal City in Lüliang Province.
Grand Craftsman Official Nie Xiongying set up the Ten Directions Primordial Heavenly Net Refining God Array outside the Zhenxun Royal City.
The number of Ninth Order warships that support the array base alone is as high as 35,000, practically surrounding the entire city, both above and below ground.
The divine artifact Ten Directions Heavenly Net, serves as the array's core.
The most powerful Magic Array in the world has reappeared after 2,500 years.
On the fifth day of the twelfth month, the divine artifact Weishen Luo was suppressed by the Magic Array, and the Heavenly Luck Golden List was also suppressed by the Creation Compass. Not a single Yin Spirit obeyed Liang King anymore.
Because Liang King practiced heretical methods, his bloodline was no longer that of the Ji Family.
Having lost the blessing of divine artifacts and good fortune, Liang King fell from the Super First Rank to the First-Rank Realm.
On December 8th of the same year, Prince Liang Ji Mingxian, died in Zhenxun Royal City.
Thus, the rebellion of the Liang King was quelled.
This major event had an extremely negative impact on the Great Zhou. It disrupted the flow of fortune, exposed the fragility of the Yin Spirit system, and affected and changed the fate of countless people.
This also somewhat diminished the glory of the Great Zhou's invincibility.
Meanwhile, in the Star Palace.
"It's only December, Liang King has already been defeated and killed?" Zhao Xing looked at the message. "It's half a year earlier than in my previous life."
It wasn't even the thirty-seventh year of the Jingxin Calendar.
"He didn't even leave Lüliang Province, and his intention to become a bandit throughout the land was nowhere near achieved."
"Why do I feel like I've overlooked something?" Zhao Xing frowned.
"Why does every major event seem to happen a little earlier than expected?"
"The outbreak of the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven was like this, the mid-level battle was like this, and now the Liang King incident is like this again."
"Could it be that the Spiritual Energy Revival will also arrive ahead of schedule?"
A thought suddenly popped into Zhao Xing's mind.
