Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

"I will train you today. I will start my retreat tomorrow. You must practice well and strive to improve yourselves."

The opportunity is here.

This disciple didn't know that he felt his chance had come, so he quietly approached the general's tent while everyone was busy and not paying attention.

His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. The "thump thump" sound of his heartbeat echoed in his ears. He held the bottle containing the poison tightly in both hands. His palms were full of sweat, making the bottle a little slippery. He felt that what he was holding in his hand was not a bottle, but a bomb that could explode at any time.

Inside the tent, the general was concentrating with his eyes closed, practicing his skills, with a surge of energy all over his body, showing signs of a breakthrough. The disciple gently lifted a corner of the tent and carefully dripped the poison from the bottle into the general's water cup.

The drop of poison instantly melted into the water without leaving any trace, as if it had never appeared. But in the eyes of the disciples, the drop of poison was like the devil's tears, foreshadowing the coming of a disaster.

In the following three weeks, the disciple looked for opportunities like a ghost, dripping poison into the food and drink of officials with great potential.

Every time he made a move, he was so nervous that his forehead was covered with sweat and his eyes were full of struggle and determination.

Sometimes, he would take advantage of the cover of night to sneak into an official's tent, grope for the water cup in the dark, and then carefully drop the poison into it. Every movement was as light as possible, for fear of disturbing the sleeping person.

Sometimes, when everyone was busy, he would quietly mix poison into the food, then quickly leave and pretend nothing had happened.

However, truth will come to light. That day, the general who was about to break through to the Golden Immortal realm once again made a full-scale breakthrough.

He sat cross-legged with his hands in seals, his whole body shining with light and a powerful aura filled the entire tent.

However, as time went on, his face became paler and paler, and his breathing became increasingly disordered.

Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His cultivation, which was about to break through, not only did not improve, but instead regressed a level and became the middle stage of Golden Immortal.

The general's face was filled with astonishment and anger. He stood up suddenly, his eyes burning with anger: "What on earth is going on? Why is this happening?"

He walked out of the tent angrily and happened to meet another practitioner.

The cultivator was also frustrated. After seeing the general, he smiled bitterly and said, "General, I have also encountered the same situation. This is the fourth time this strange thing has happened. There have been others like this before. Our cultivation has not improved but deteriorated. This is too strange and beyond common sense. Have we been cursed by someone?"

The officer also looked flustered, and his chest circumference had dropped significantly. In recent times, Ying Xuan had rewarded a lot of ammunition to these soldiers and generals who had performed outstandingly on the battlefield. These ammunitions could greatly improve their cultivation.

But when they took these pills, they did have a very good effect, and their cultivation level also improved a lot. But recently when they took these pills to improve their strength, they found that not only did their cultivation level not improve, but their strength began to regress little by little.

At first they all thought that there was something wrong with the elixir, so they gave it to their subordinates to take. They found that their subordinates' cultivation had improved greatly and this situation did not occur.

Only then did he start to suspect other problems. The general clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Someone must have cursed us, or we were drugged, otherwise this would not happen. No matter who is behind this, I will find him out and make him pay a heavy price!" He exuded a strong murderous aura.

At the same time, because many officers' cultivation levels inexplicably regressed in the military camp, people were in a panic and rumors were spreading.

The soldiers discussed privately and speculated about the reasons behind this sudden change.

…………

Early morning the next day.

Inside the imperial palace of Xianyang City, the atmosphere in the magnificent hall was as heavy as lead. A group of court officials stood on both sides, holding their breath.

General A's face turned ashen, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He clenched his fists and spoke in a sad and resentful voice: "Your Majesty, we seem to have been cursed recently! Our cultivation has not improved but regressed. I have investigated one by one and found that fifty-three high-ranking generals are in this predicament. If this continues, the combat effectiveness of our Xian Qin army will be greatly reduced. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly!" After that, the general kowtowed heavily, hoping that Ying Xuan would quickly investigate what was going on.

Now, neither he nor anyone else dared to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to practice, because even if they did so, their cultivation would continue to regress.

On the contrary, if they were like ordinary people now, if they did not practice and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their cultivation would not regress.

They also investigated their own physical conditions and found that they were very healthy and did not have any symptoms.

It was also because of this that they felt that the person who poisoned them was too powerful.

Even they couldn't detect the poison, and they didn't know when they were poisoned. This method was simply miraculous.

Ying Xuan sat on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe that made him look more majestic. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked at everyone in the court. He said in a deep voice: "What do you think of this matter, my dear ministers?"

Meng Tian took a step forward, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, he clasped his hands in a salute, and said in a voice as loud as a bell: "Your Majesty, the military camp where I am stationed has not noticed any such abnormalities so far, and the soldiers' cultivation has been improved steadily and orderly. In my opinion, there must be something fishy about this matter, and it must be investigated and dealt with strictly to find out the mastermind behind it, so as to ensure the stability of the foundation of our Xian Qin."

Zhang Han also stepped out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this matter may be related to the recent flow of personnel in the military camp. Are there any new recruits with suspicious behavior? Or are there mysterious people frequently entering and leaving the military camp without being noticed?" He looked deep and thoughtful, gently twisting his beard with his fingers, his expression solemn.

Seeing this, Xin Sheng's eyes sparkled. He took a step forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since there is no such problem in other military camps, the problem is most likely here. I earnestly request Your Majesty to allow me to investigate this matter. I will do my best to give justice to all the generals! I speculate that there may be traitors in the army who poisoned the generals and ruined the great cause of our Xian Qin. I am willing to sign a military order. If the truth cannot be found out, I will be willing to be punished by military law!" His words were earnest and passionate, his expression was firm and resolute, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and he had the momentum of not returning until Loulan was conquered.

There was a buzz of discussion in the court, with the ministers either frowning in thought, or talking in low voices, or looking worried.

Ying Xuan looked at everyone with a sharp gaze. After a moment, he nodded slightly and said in a loud voice: "Approved! Xin Sheng, this matter is serious. I order you to be fully responsible for the investigation and make sure to get to the bottom of it. Meng Tian, ​​you are experienced, please assist Xin Sheng with all your strength and make no mistakes. If necessary, you can mobilize resources from all parties. I only want the truth and the results." (End of this chapter)
