One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 483: The actions of the adventers with full majesty;

These are the retainers and advisers of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and some of them are even top-notch figures.

Ji Huaxi sat on the high platform at the end of the hall, wearing a black lacquered dragon scale armor with gold patterns, and a matching phoenix-wing purple gold bag on the small table beside her. Her long dark red hair stood up high. Her fair face was not made up, but she was already extremely beautiful. Beams of red light from the setting sun shone through the window coffin. The eldest princess was full of majesty, and her eyes, which were slightly cold, made people dare not look directly at her.

She was originally one of the most powerful Realm Lords in the world, controlling the way of the Tao and surpassing the limits that humans could theoretically reach.

After the death of Emperor Wu, Ji Huaxi was tempered again and again. Just like a divine weapon tempered between an iron hammer and an iron felt, Ji Huaxi also became stronger through such experiences.

The Eight-Nine Profound Art, the true blood bestowed by Su Heng, the gathered dragon energy, and the enlightenment brought about between life and death, etc.

Today it is today.

Some perceptive ministers.

He already felt a sense of majesty from Ji Huaxi that was no less than that of the former emperor.

The princess gathered these people together because she had something important to discuss. She gently put down the jade teacup with white smoke in her hand, and a scholar wearing a silk scarf stood up and presented a dark yellow secret book as if he had received some signal. "According to your Highness's instructions, the information and intelligence collected in the past few days are all on it."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ji Huaxi nodded, and a maid handed the secret book to the table in front of Ji Huaxi.

She frowned slightly and her eyes swept across it quickly.

After a long time, Ji Huaxi seemed to slowly let go of something. His tense muscles relaxed and he sighed softly.

"It seems that the demon dragon's massacres in Zouhu, Lishui and other places were not without reason. Instead, some highly contagious plague broke out in these places, causing it to get out of control, so it had no choice but to do so?"

"Based on the results of the survey, that should be the case," the scholar replied, bowing.

"What is the origin of this plague?" After several verifications, this information should be correct, but because of this, Ji Huaxi was even more surprised. She had some understanding of Su Heng's character. He was definitely a lawless madman who dared to face the notorious Leviathan King Worm head-on without flinching.

It was precisely when it came to this plague that Su Heng reacted violently and appeared quite fearful.

"This," the middle-aged scholar said with a hesitant look on his face, "Based on the information we found, I can't be sure, but it is said to be related to the legendary Adventers."

"The Adventer..."

Ji Huaxi lowered his eyes slightly, with a gloomy expression on his face.

She had naturally heard some rumors about the Adventers, but her father was very secretive about this matter.

Not only did he warn her not to investigate further into the matter, but he also destroyed all the records about the adventers in the Sutra Library while he was still alive.

At that time, Ji Huaxi was very surprised.

And now...

However, in just two or three years, those ghosts came back again.

Ji Huaxi stood up from her seat and walked to the window. Outside the window was a huge cherry tree that even covered the roof. The petals glowed slightly and fell with the evening breeze. The princess's mansion was actually built on a dark and steep cliff. Outside was the mighty Duolai River. The river was mighty and as the sun set, the reflection in the river and the huge sun wheel almost touched each other.

In the past, Ji Huaxi liked to stand in front of the window and look at this kind of scenery. After a while, when the sun completely sets, a rare epiphyllum will bloom on the river bank. The blue-purple petals are connected together, emitting a faint light in the dark environment. Add to that the sound of the ebb and flow of the tide, and the singing coming from the city in the distance.

Such a scene makes people calm and peaceful from the heart.

But now...

Faced with the same scenery, Ji Huaxi only felt irritated.

She hated the feeling of being in a fog, not knowing anything and being unable to do anything.

The last time she had a similar feeling was when her father returned from Changshengtian, severely injured, and soon died in the disaster. And now, Ji Huaxi felt like she had returned to that time, in the same fog. Unconsciously, her five fingers had clenched into fists, the joints were slightly blue, and there was a crisp sound of "crack".

Ji Huaxi opened the window and felt the cold air outside coming towards him. The two strands of hair hanging from his forehead were lifted up, and he withdrew his thoughts.

She turned around and returned to her seat.

"Continue to observe this matter. I need more information."

"Yes." The middle-aged scholar nodded, and then asked with some hesitation, "What should we do if we have a conflict with the people from the Northern Frontier Demon Dragon over this matter?"

"Try to avoid conflicts." Ji Huaxi replied.

"clear."

Not only the middle-aged scholar, but even the stern generals beside him breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, the reputation of the Northern Frontier Demon Dragon has become increasingly popular. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty still exists, it is already in name only. In many places, the name of the Demon Dragon is obviously more useful than the imperial court. And these people are also afraid. The power of the Demon Dragon is well known, and the power of its minions should not be underestimated.

"There have been unusual movements on the mythical battlefields in the Linjiang and Tianfeng areas," another general stepped forward and said.

"..."

Ji Huaxi handled these matters one by one.

At this time, the sun had already set, but oil lamps were still lit in the room.

The oil in these oil lamps is harvested from mermaids. Not only can it burn for a long time, but the light is also very bright.

"Your Majesty, have you made any discoveries recently?" Ji Huaxi asked a royal guard in golden armor.

"Not yet." The Imperial Guards replied, "We used secret methods to find the whereabouts of some demons before, and set traps, hoping to wait for them. But the enemy is very cunning, and our arrangements were discovered, so the plan failed. In addition, the clues we found before did not yield anything worth mentioning. The current situation is not optimistic."

"Ah."

Ji Huaxi nodded slightly.

Although it was bad news, she had been paying attention to this matter.

At this time, Ji Huaxi was not surprised to get a positive answer from the imperial guards, and even felt a little relieved. If he went too far down this path and made an unforgivable mistake, Ji Huaxi didn't know how to face Ji Xuance, after all, he was his brother, the only relative in the world.

"In that case, please continue to pay attention. Thank you for your hard work." Ji Huaxi said.

"It's not hard." The old guard smiled. "I can do what I can for Your Highness, and it can be regarded as a way to repay the late emperor's kindness."

He noticed that the expression on Ji Huaxi's face suddenly changed. The old imperial guard was surprised and asked, "What happened?" "Nothing...anything." Ji Huaxi withdrew his gaze from the window.

Just now, a warning seemed to pass through my heart, but in the blink of an eye, the feeling disappeared. It was like I was in a trance, and I didn't know where it came from. Was it because I was too tired and sleepy during this period? Ji Huaxi lowered his head and thought, and at the same time waved his hand. The civil officials and soldiers in the hall stood up one after another, saluted in unison, and then retreated like a tide.

The oil lamp burned silently, and Ji Huaxi was the only one left in the empty hall.

"As expected, a good father will have a good daughter. The Emperor Wu's daughter is also remarkable." Kuligala said with a smile on her face, "We just leaked a trace of our aura, but she actually noticed it. Fortunately, we are far away from each other, and you have made some progress in your attainments in the void. Otherwise, it would be easy to disrupt our plans."

In front of him was a pale-skinned young man.

About the same height as Kurikara, with purple veins beneath pale skin.

He was thin, with smooth black hair falling down his cheeks, and two dark pupils that looked like whirlpools. In addition, he had a sickly big mouth, and when he smiled, his sharp teeth could stretch all the way to his ears. His ears were also very different from those of ordinary people, and they were raised backwards like a bat.

A monster.

This is the first impression that Garuda gives people.

And his character is even worse than his appearance.

Even among the second generation adventers who regarded each other as brothers and family, few could tolerate it.

Kurikara was his only friend, and this relationship was not just superficial. When Garuda was imprisoned by the chieftain because of his previous mistakes, Kurikara was the only one among the entire second-generation advent group who thought and took action to get him out of the cell.

"I feel good to be able to help you." Garuda smiled. Although it looked a little ferocious on his face, the expression still represented kindness.

"The chieftain has left us little time, so we have to act as soon as possible." Kuligala said, "Emperor Wu is dead, and now his only remaining son has succeeded him. We have to find a way to control him first."

The two of them actually appeared outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the imperial palace in such a swagger.

Next to the bronze gate stood two imperial guards with burly figures and stern faces.

The few of them were only a few steps away from each other, but Kurikara and Garuda were chatting casually, and the two battle-hardened imperial guards seemed to be unaware of it. It was as if the four of them were in two completely different time and space.

This is certainly not true.

Jialuo Lou is good at the way of the void, but it is still not easy to achieve this.

In fact, he only used the restraining authority of the Adventer to hypnotize the two imperial guards. In their cognition, Garuda and Kurikara seemed to not exist.

This was Garuda's first time coming to the Eastern Continent. Being in this ancient country, he had a childlike curiosity on his face.

At this time, he even reached out and gently patted the iron-masked face of the imperial guard, but the latter was like a sculpture and did not respond at all.

"Stop playing." Kuligala urged.

Crunch!

He reached out and pushed open the door in front of him.

As a thought swept across, the candles on the Panlong Pillar were lit one by one.

The flickering firelight dispelled the darkness, and the air was filled with a stale smell. The empire still existed, but Ji Xuance had not handled government affairs in this hall for a long time.

A pair of slightly blood-red pupils lit up at the end of the hall, "Who are you!?"

Looking at the two people walking towards him in a swagger, Ji Xuance's face was full of shock.

He could not sense the aura of the two people at all. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, the two people would have seemed to be non-existent in his perception. Moreover, the two imperial guards outside did not react at all. This was too bizarre. Even a powerful destructive being who was proficient in hiding could not do this.

However, as the heir of this dynasty, Ji Xuance also knew a lot of secrets, and he quickly reacted, "The Adventer!"

His face turned stern and he stood up from his throne.

On the wall behind him was a huge brass corona with light emanating from it.

Ji Xuance's body was more sturdy than the two descenders. Under the reflection of the light, the shadow was cast down the stairs like a stream, completely covering the two people. If you look from the front, Ji Xuance's face is dark, and only slightly scarlet pupils can be seen. The rest of the facial features are not clear at all, so it looks extremely oppressive.

But in the eyes of Kurikara and Garuda, these were just some boring tricks for bluffing.

Garuda even laughed softly.

"We came here to seek your cooperation. If everything goes well, you can continue to be the emperor in this wild land, and we can even help you eliminate a few major troubles." Kuligala spoke in a condescending tone. He smiled and played with two bone-white relief balls in his hands.

"What if I refuse?" Ji Xuance also sneered, with black smoke emanating from his body.

Snapped!
It seemed that he had not expected that his proposal would be rejected.

There was a pause in Kuligara's hand movements, and the two bone-white balls shattered at the same time, with a crisp sound.

The smile on his face faded, and the dark golden light in his pupils gradually turned cold, like solidified brass. "It seems that we have not appeared on this continent for too long, so that ants like you have lost your fear of the true God. Well... In this case, we have no choice but to use some tougher measures."

Click!

Kuligara shook his head and then strode forward.

There was no fear on Ji Xuance's face. He walked down the stairs. His flesh and blood gradually swelled and deformed, and even the ferocious howling of evil spirits could be heard from inside.

At the same time, he flicked his left finger, and an inconspicuous black light flew towards the bronze corona behind him. The corona contained the blood pill given by Ji Huaxi. As long as the power in it was activated, Ji Huaxi would definitely feel it. However, this attempt failed. Garuda stretched out his hand and clenched it, and the energy was extinguished instantly.
