The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 884 Missing
"What's more, Hou Tu may have suffered a loss this time. Yuan Tong may not be able to return to Xuan Tian in a short time."

At this point, the Queen's tone seemed to imply a hint of "gloating".

She paused for a moment, waiting for Zhao Chen to digest what she said, then she stood up from the water and leaned against the green jade stone by the pool, revealing her flawless curves.

Looking at the drops of water sliding down from her body, Zhao Chen quickly shifted his attention away. After all, this "ghost princess" as mentioned by Yuchan Zhenren always only cared about teasing but not putting out fires, and in the end, he was the one who suffered.

So after calming down, he asked with great interest in the Queen's previous words, "Did Queen Hou Tu suffer a loss? No wonder Master Yuchan suddenly gained the power transmitted by the original body...Did she suffer a loss at the hands of Yuan Tong?"

The Queen casually picked up a glass of blue drink from the pool, took a sip, shook her head and replied: "I am not in the 'underworld', so I don't know exactly what happened.

"From what we have speculated, the reason why Hou Tu suffered a loss is probably because a demon from the 'Star Society' had set a 'mine' for her during the previous 'Xuancheng' incident.

"And this 'thunder' exploded immediately after the current emperor entered the secret realm of 'Yaochi Chess'.

"This caused a flaw in the method of blocking 'Yuantong', allowing him to find an opportunity to remind 'Phantom' and transfer some power."

Xuancheng incident? The evil of "All Stars Society"? I understand... "All Stars Society" deliberately sent Zhen Fan to the fake "Nine Nether Emperor Palace" opened by Chai Xun in the heart world. In addition to looking for the whereabouts of the boat ticket, they also had the calculations of Yin Houtu Pingxin Niangniang!

Yes, it must be the "Blood Cube"! Only the horrible thing that I threw away but was picked up by Lu Chunyang could cause the Queen Mother Hou Tu to suffer this loss.

Only in the mental maze created by Chai Xun, when Lu Chunyang suffered the effect of "degradation of intelligence", would he recklessly bring something that was obviously problematic back to the underworld, back to the real "Nine Nether Imperial Palace".

Well... the one who originally let Zhen Fan exchange for this "Blood Cube" was Jidu Xingjun of the "All Stars Association". It is impossible that he went to such great lengths to help Yuan Tong...

Could it be that it also wants to test Emperor Gaozu of Daxia?

Zhao Chen thought for a moment, then organized his sentences, and told the queen the intelligence he had, and finally said: "I remember you said before that among those who tried to test the existence of Emperor Gaozu, apart from the so-called emperors in the early ancient times, there were the members of the fundamentalist sect of the 'All Stars Society'... This 'Ji Du Xing Jun' seems to be the most evil on the evil side of the 'All Stars Society', how did it get involved?"

The Queen did not expect that Zhao Chen actually possessed so much "high-end" knowledge. She was surprised and began to think seriously. After a while, she said thoughtfully, "The demons of the Star Society had asked Chai Xun to take over the 'Purple Star Scroll' before? Ha, it seems that not all of these demons are crazy people waiting for the arrival of the 'Promised Ship'. Some of them have some small ideas...

"Since you have made up your mind, it is only natural to test and stop Mingzhen.

"After all, once Ming Zhen takes over the concept of 'Emperor', it will be impossible for him to follow the old path of Star God."

Zhao Chen frowned at these incoherent words. He could understand some of them, but he couldn't fully comprehend them. When he wanted to ask in detail, the Queen waved her hand to stop him: "It's okay for me to know some things, but you and Qing Ling are not yet at a high enough level. If you know them, there will be great risks."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen sighed helplessly, but he was a little surprised why the Queen specifically mentioned "Qing Ling".

However, he did not think much about it and asked another question: "How is the Queen Mother Hou Tu now? Did she quickly get rid of the hidden hand of Jidu Star Lord? Or was the Emperor Gaozu really forced to take action?" This was the result he deduced from the fact that Master Yuchan did not receive support from his original body afterwards.

"No, I roughly know what the 'Blood Cube' you mentioned is... It's not so easy for Hou Tu to get rid of its influence! Her troubles are bigger than I thought..." The Queen raised her lips, revealing a very good mood, and continued, "At that time, there should have been a 'Shengxuan' who helped her, but it was not Mingzhen.

"Well, my inspiration tells me that the existence that helps her is a bit like the evil spirit from 'Yaomu Academy'.

"It should be Mingzhen's backup plan."

So, what exactly is the "Blood Cube"? And why can't we talk about it? Zhao Chen was a little depressed, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just touched his chin and said, "Has His Majesty the Great Ancestor formed an alliance with the Demon Wood Academy?"

No wonder there are so many traces of the "Yaomu Academy" in the capital. Even the real head of the Yu family is a student of the "Yaomu Academy".

"It's not an alliance. It's more likely that we have a tacit understanding and use each other's strengths on something." The queen looked at Zhao Chen deeply when she said this.

Just like herself, she had no communication with Mingzhen, but was still "willingly" used by him.

"In short, before the ownership of Hou Tu and the 'Demon Cloud Body' in her hands is determined, Hou Tu, Yuan Tong and other True Lords will probably continue to entangle in the underworld and will not be able to spare any effort. At least for the next two or three years, you don't have to worry about Yuan Tong causing trouble.

"And Yuan Tong's 'phantom' clone in Xuantian has been eliminated by me. The subordinates he trained will probably be convicted by the current emperor one after another, so you don't have to worry about it." After the Queen's final summary, she suddenly turned over again and sat on Zhao Chen's waist and abdomen, looking down at him, "So, you can leave the capital and improve your strength as soon as possible.

"But before that, you have to come to the palace every day to increase the reserves of 'Five Immortals Spiritual Qi' that I need!"

As she spoke, she pressed down her lips without warning, draining Zhao Chen's energy, which had been restored with great difficulty, once again...

……

The following day, a major case involving many Taoist officials in the Taoist office kidnapping monks with special physiques, which was first reported by three military officers, was brought to the emperor's attention. Public opinion in the capital and even in the Central Plains was immediately in an uproar.

Although many of the main criminals had died for "resisting arrest", many accomplices who helped Yuchan Zhenren to select "female cultivators" were arrested and imprisoned. What awaited them was either death or being sent to the "front line" as "consumables".

To be honest, compared to the latter, being able to die quickly is a luxury.

As the case was investigated in depth, it even revealed the shocking incident of the head of the Yu family being replaced by Yuchan Zhenren. This frightened many prominent families and major factions in Jiuzhou that had originally remained "neutral", and they all chose to support the current emperor.

And in this chaotic situation, another piece of "news" suddenly appeared in the sight of "interested people", that is - King Liang and all the monks who explored the fourth secret realm were missing!
When Zhao Chen came out of the Queen's bedroom in a depressed state, this was the first news he heard.
