The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 779 Awakening
The emperor went to meet Gu Changhe?

Well... Guan Si Niang told me last night that the third task given to King Liang by the mysterious man was to get a special key to leave the body of Ling Feihong, the "Sky Waterfall Sword", the true disciple of the Shushan Sword Pavilion...

To this end, "King Liang" Ming Hongyi used Gu Changhe to cause Ling Feihong to be captured, thus achieving his goal.

Is there any connection between this?
Could it be that... the so-called mysterious person was really sent by the emperor? Was the King of Liang under the control of the current emperor from beginning to end, and was he his pawn?

If this is true, then my previous guess is probably correct... The opening of the sealed places of the Daliang monarch was actually pushed by His Majesty the Emperor himself...

In other words, this information was revealed to me intentionally by His Majesty.

What on earth is he going to do?
I don't believe that Your Majesty expects a dead survivor whose seal has been cut to fight against the True Lord "Yuantong".

He most likely planned this to assist or conceal his true intentions.

Zhao Chen frowned, he really couldn't guess what the current man would do.

Seeing this, Ming Xueling couldn't help but reach out and hold his hand, and put it against her chest to show her concern.

Zhao Chen, who was brought back to his senses by the soft touch, took a deep breath and stopped worrying. He just sighed and said, "Ah! In the final analysis, it's because of my lack of vision, pattern, and intelligence!"

Then, he lowered his head to look at Ming Xueling's emotionless face, then looked at his hands, and said helplessly: "Where did you learn this way of comforting people?"

"A novel called 'The Wind and Dust Heroine'." Ming Xueling answered seriously, and then asked in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

No, it’s actually very true… Is this “The Dust-Bearing Heroine” a serious novel?
Zhao Chen complained in his heart, but he didn't take his hand back. Instead, he let Ming Xueling pull him.

He calmed down and asked again: "Do you know what Gu Changhe talked about with the current emperor?"

Ming Xueling shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. I didn't dare to get too close... but they didn't seem to care if anyone noticed their meeting. There were three other groups of secret observers like me that I discovered."

"It seems that the emperor deliberately exposed himself... Is this to cover up Concubine Ning's actions? And also to release a 'smoke bomb'?" Zhao Chen was thinking about it, and suddenly found that Yan Hongxia's breath had changed, as if she was about to wake up, so he quietly withdrew his hand from the softness, his expression became serious, and continued to ask, "Did you find anything else?"

Ming Xueling didn't pay much attention to Zhao Chen's little action. She recalled it carefully and said uncertainly: "The Qingli Fairy beside Gu Changhe stayed in the teahouse where they met for a while, and then went to the contact point of the 'Yinsi' in the capital... the one you went to before.

“Originally, it was impossible for me to monitor a Dongxuan master, but this is the capital city. Even a master’s spiritual awareness is greatly restricted and is not much stronger than that of a cultivator with magical powers. That’s why I was barely discovered by her.

"Of course, it's also possible that she exposed herself on purpose." Went to the contact point of the "Yinsi"? Well, I'll go back and ask Zhong Ying to find out what Gu Changhe wants to do. Maybe I can infer the specific meaning behind some of the current emperor's actions.

While the two of them were talking, Yan Hongxia had completely woken up. She opened her eyes, and there were no pupils in her eyes, only a bloodshot color. But she soon returned to her normal appearance. Her breath and divine light were all restrained. It was obvious that she had adapted to and initially controlled the surging power.

"Congratulations to Sister Hongxia for achieving the ninth level of magic power." Zhao Chen, who had been observing with the "Dongxu Eyes" for a long time, congratulated with a smile.

Yan Hongxia's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds recently. She reached the seventh level more than a month ago. Some time ago, she relied on the Sima family's treasure spring and practiced dual cultivation with Zhao Chen to reach the eighth level. Only a few days later, she had another adventure and reached the peak of the magic power realm.

Although the progress of condensing the three souls and gathering the seven spirits is still in the exploratory stage, and the innate magic has yet to be perfected, but it is a solid step closer to supernatural powers!

"The gap between me and Zheng Qingyan, Qin Sheng, and this Three Wonders Fairy in front of me is even smaller!" Yan Hongxia secretly glanced at Ming Xueling, who leaned half of her body on Xiao Chen, and immediately mustered up her courage, stood up and sat down on the other side of Zhao Chen, then smiled and responded: "Empress Ning thanked me for escorting Ning Meng all the way to the capital, and the reward she gave me is indeed generous."

"She gave you a 'Blood Origin'?" Zhao Chen asked curiously. This was the appraisal result given by the "Dongxu Eye".

The "Origin of Blood" is a rare item that can only be created by vampires above the "Morning Star" level. Below the "Morning Star" level, only one drop can be extracted after death. It can be used to condense the evil energy of "blood" type spells, similar to the relics left by the "Phoenix" family member who failed to awaken.

The "Origin of Blood" separated by the vampire family warlock at the "Morning Star" level can not only be used as the corresponding evil spirit, but also assist the cultivators at the "mana" realm to open up and perfect the mana cyclone of the inner world. Yan Hongxia used this to break through the ninth level of mana.

After explaining the general purpose of the "Blood Origin", Yan Hongxia continued happily: "This 'Blood Origin' also contains an explanation of the artistic conception related to 'blood', which is of great help to me. It even greatly increases the power of my 'Black Emperor Blood Sword'. If I want to learn a few spells of the Blood Demon Sect, as long as they are not the core ones, I don't need to look for the corresponding evil spirits anymore."

It's quite generous... But considering that when Concubine Ning was intact, she was probably a vampire at the "Dongxuan" or even "Shengxuan" level, this origin might not be that precious to her...

As for whether Concubine Ning had secretly manipulated the origin... anyway, the "Big Sun Star Raft" didn't detect it, and Zhao Chen didn't think she would do that.

It's not that Zhao Chen feels good about himself. His current identity is very special in the eyes of some knowledgeable bigwigs. Even if they don't want to be on good terms with him, most of them will keep their distance from him. Those who want to use him are currently "showing favors" or "investing" in him. If there is no deep hatred or reasons that cannot be circumvented, they probably won't think of making a mortal enemy with him.

Judging from Concubine Ning's previous words and deeds, she didn't seem like an extreme or unwise person.

After all, even the emperor wanted to take advantage of some of his special qualities and lure him into the game, so he "offered" his concubine.

If the "Origin of Blood" was given to himself, Zhao Chen would definitely be extremely cautious, but now that there is a layer of separation and it has been given to Sister Hongxia, there is no need to be suspicious.
