Chapter 2214 Every Gift Will Be Clearly Priced

Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that his physical fitness was indeed a little bit stronger than that of the Empress Dowager.

Perhaps it was because the Empress Dowager's cultivation skills were limited, or perhaps it was because her physical fitness had been weakened, that the Empress Dowager was weaker than him.

Being stronger than the opponent does not mean that Zhang Xuezhou is willing to fight without a beginning or an end. He also does not want to fight a life-and-death battle with a dead person, lest he not only gets no benefit but also gets himself into trouble.

This is a sports competition that is bound to start but will not end in a fierce fight.

Fire rain fell, and Zhang Xuezhou grabbed a flame bead.

"Is it similar to a demon pill?"

The flame bead burned in his hand, but did not burn Zhang Xuezhou. It seemed harmless to humans and animals because it was not under the control of the Empress Dowager.

Zhang Xuezhou blew a breath, and flames rose up.

He can conceal his body in the space of magic, and other than that he has the means of hand-to-hand combat. This fire bead undoubtedly gives him an additional way of attack.

This was what was left after the battle of martial arts, and it also became his trophy.

Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand and grasped the flame bead several times, thinking that after igniting the flame, he could throw it out to achieve a one-time effect.

It was a rare opportunity to have another means of fighting, so he gladly accepted it.

The darkness in front of him faded away, and the longevity fruit tree came into view. Zhang Xuezhou saw a fruit with a faint golden glow quietly hanging on the branch.

"Farewell, Daoist Dou!"

Under the longevity fruit tree, Zhenyuan God was apparently unaware of this battle of magic.

He stroked the new fruits on the longevity fruit tree and bowed again.

"Friend Dou struggled in the soil. She must have felt very uncomfortable. I stepped on her twice more before she could rest in peace. Alas!"

Zhenyuan God let out a long sigh.

People accept death, but they also fear death.

Zhenyuan Shenjun has seen off many gods from Kunlun Holy Land, and he is well aware of this contradictory mentality.

He stopped Zhang Xuezhou from provoking the Empress Dowager to ask questions, and when the Empress Dowager was stimulated to regain consciousness, he kicked her twice, causing her to completely die.

"A new fruit has grown on the longevity fruit tree. Does this mean that the evil spirit from the Empress Dowager has been completely drained away?"

Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand and grabbed it, only to find that the flame bead he was grasping seemed to have a similar effect to the longevity fruit.

The normal collapse of a physical body will not leave anything behind, such as what happened after the collapse of Emperor Jing and King Liang's physical bodies.

Perhaps it was due to the stimulation of the Longevity Fruit, or perhaps there was some unsolved mystery in it. The Longevity Fruit appeared, and the Flame Pearl also appeared and remained in the collapsed body of the Empress Dowager.

Longevity fruits are edible, and the flame beads may not only be used for throwing, but may also bring benefits when taken.

Zhang Xuezhou became more interested, and he couldn't help but ask about the relationship between Zhenyuan Shenjun's Longevity Fruit and the Empress Dowager.

"Perhaps it has been hungry for too long, or perhaps it is unable to absorb food from its decaying body. Its absorption speed this time is indeed very fast. Transforming into fruit means that the sacrifice and offering has been completed!"

Zhenyuan God nodded.

He fanned his sleeves back and forth several times, and the Empress Dowager wrapped in a golden jade burial garment reappeared, with countless tiny white roots entwined around the golden jade burial garment.

Compared with the previous stench that was difficult to eradicate, the stench on the Empress Dowager's body was no longer there at this time, and there was even a little more fragrance because of the spiritual jade driving the magic circle on the golden jade clothes.

The Empress Dowager's long-standing illness was cured, but the other person was also gone.

Zhang Xuezhou looked at this woman who once controlled the Han Dynasty, and felt that she was still pursuing him until the moment she died. He couldn't help but sigh. The Empress Dowager might be unkind, but she was protecting her descendants even at the last moment of her life, and she also hoped that the Han Dynasty could be stable.

It was hard to say whether Zhang Xuezhou liked or disliked the Grand Empress Dowager. He just felt that she enjoyed the best conditions in the Han Dynasty and had been protecting the Han Dynasty all her life, which was considered to be a diligent and responsible person. Even though he lacked friendship with the Grand Empress Dowager, it did not prevent Zhang Xuezhou from respecting her.

But this does not mean that Zhang Xuezhou is willing to step into the circle defined by the Empress Dowager.

Every gift will be clearly marked with a price. The gift given before a person dies is the biggest and will have the highest price. Perhaps you will need to repay it at an unknown time, or even pay a higher price.

"Perhaps it's a mark. Once the King of Huainan launches a war against Your Majesty, the mark will drag me into it. Or perhaps the gift will make Your Majesty think that I have an unshirkable responsibility for the death of the Empress Dowager. Or maybe..."

Zhang Xuezhou thought of several possibilities, but felt that none of them could make him feel at ease.

If this gift from the Empress Dowager had happened a few years ago, Zhang Xuezhou might have taken the risk if necessary.

But now he already has a way to promote his skills gradually, and he has also made choices between the important and the unimportant, so he will not lose the big picture for the small.

And the harvest of fire beads is not bad either.

He inquired about the situation of Zhenyuan Shenjun and compared himself with it, and made a rough judgment in his mind.

"Should we carry the Empress Dowager's body back to Anle Palace now?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I flew for four days, dug a pit for a day to fill the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams formation, and refined 144 Diagram stones. I don't have the strength to carry people back." Zhenyuan Divine Lord said: "If you need to set off, we also need to find some food to fill our stomachs and store our physical strength. Otherwise, it will be difficult to bear such a long distance!"

"There seem to be some rabbits near this mountain!"

"I'm not a big fan of eating large amounts of tasteless rabbit!"

Food is a big problem in the wild mountains and wilderness. Looking at the empty Soul-Breaking Ridge, the God of Zhenyuan felt that his future life would probably be hard to describe.

Of course, one good thing is that he obtained top-level formation materials in less than a month, and thus created the prototype of the formation in Soul-Breaking Ridge.

A golden net was taken out, and Zhenyuan God threw it towards the longevity fruit tree.

In the golden light, the net and the fruit tree disappeared, leaving only a pile of burnt soil on the ground.

"I used the Li Gua of the Eight Trigrams to make them all leave. As long as no cultivators come to occupy this secret place to build, they should not be able to discover our actions." Zhenyuan Divine Lord said: "There is a human settlement three hundred miles away from here. Let's go and eat some normal food!"

"also!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Perhaps because he was used to the food in Chang'an City, or for other reasons, Zhenyuan Shenjun did not like catching rabbits and roasting them for food. He would rather fly three hundred miles away to find food than eat rabbits.

Zhang Xuezhou calculated the time he had left and felt that he could use two days to find food.

Of course, if he could save some time, he could go back to Chang'an City to take a look at the relevant situation and make the next judgment.

The two of them called for the wind, and rose into the air, one in front and one behind.

Zhenyuan Shenjun led the way in front, and Zhang Xuezhou followed behind.

"Three thousand miles west of here is the Elephant and Bear Kingdom, which was formed by the descendants of Kunlun and the combination of tribes. Most of the people there are skilled in witchcraft and worship the Emperor of Heaven. This area seems to be called the Subi Kingdom, which is under the jurisdiction of the Queen of Subi. Many of them worship the Queen Mother of Heaven. As long as we show some performance, we will be warmly received," Zhenyuan Shenjun introduced in front.

"It is no exaggeration to say that I am average in other aspects, but my ability in offering sacrifices and leading people to respect me is first-rate!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest.

He used the god Tur to deceive people for several years and even fooled a group of high-ranking officials of the Red Alliance.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was very experienced in playing tricks and fooling people.

Whenever he encountered a similar situation, it would not be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to get free food and drinks.
