Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 576: Selecting a Concubine (Rewards and Updates)
In the dense forest, Zuomen Youjun, who was hiding in the dark, heard shocking news.

Zhu Wen Wanyue, the ghost princess of the otherworldly demon world, is actually an undercover agent.

Then I heard the real Zhu Wen Wanyue say to the shadow: "That day, Zhizai asked me to lurk in the source of the magic dragon in the form of a soul. When the ghost clan was unsealed and the sealed ghost clan was at its weakest, I used secret methods to replace Zhu Wen Wanyue, stir up the situation in the demon world, and take the opportunity to carry out the mission. In the first half of Master Fu Ying's game, I followed his wishes. But in the second half of his game, hahahaha..."

At this point, Zhu Wen Wanyue covered her mouth and laughed.

Zuomen Youjun, who was in the dark, heard the truth and clenched his hands, "The princess has been replaced a long time ago."

The shadow said: "The Lord asked me to cooperate with you in the mission, and it has been completed. Next, I will return to the tribe. What are your plans for the future?"

"Of course I will wait and see the results. But before that, ..." As he said this, he looked towards Zuomen Youjun's hiding place. The sharp gaze made Zuomen Youjun feel cold in his heart.

Zhu Wenwanyue smiled and said, "Little mouse hiding in the dark, I let you eavesdrop for a long time, don't you plan to show up?"

"Hah~" With a light shout, Zuo Menyou, knowing that his whereabouts had been revealed, immediately sent out a blade of energy and attacked the figure that had lost his power. He wanted to delay Zhu Wenwanyue and cover his own retreat.

Zhu Wen Wanyue stood in front of the shadow and waved his palm to disperse the incoming sword energy.

Shadow reminded: "He escaped."

Zhu Wenwanyue smiled and said, "He can't escape."

Zuomen Youjun left the dense forest and ran hurriedly all the way, wanting to pass the news back to the demon world.

When they were halfway through the journey, they suddenly saw a golden lotus appear in the sky.

“This is…” Knowing that the person coming had bad intentions, Zuomen Youjun used his sword to push away the golden lotus.

Unexpectedly, the lotus shattered, and the golden petals turned into deadly blades, piercing through her hands and feet.

He could no longer lift the sword in his hand and his life was about to end.

"The prosperous nights when one is ennobled, the world is weighed, and there are generations of romantic figures. Fame is nothing but a rumor, a glance back and a smile, every step is shrouded in smoke." A poem sounded, and a purple veil fell from the sky.

In the purple veil, Zhu Wenwanyue's face changed drastically, shedding her disguise. She turned out to be a charming and charming woman.

She has a graceful figure, a pair of eyes and eyebrows that look down on everyone. Her red lips are contemptuous, charming, and conceal a myriad of means.

The woman held the golden lotus in her hands, looked at the seriously injured Zuomen Youjun, and said, "Zuomen Youjun, I will let you be a clear-headed ghost before you die, as a reward for your loyalty."

Zuomen Youjun knew that he was about to die. "Who are you?"

"Nine Calculations of Mohism, Phoenix Queen." The golden lotus in the woman's hand turned into a rain of flowers, piercing through Zuomen Youjun's body.

"Mo family... Queen Phoenix." After uttering the last few words with all his might, Zuomen Youjun breathed his last, and his body transformed into a demon soul and flew back to the demon world.

“Want to send a message back through the Demon Soul?” The Queen Phoenix appeared with the Heavenly Master’s Cloud Staff in her hand and activated her magic to absorb the Demon Soul into the Heavenly Master’s Cloud Staff.

Looking at the Heavenly Master Cloud Staff in her hand, the Phoenix Queen smiled and said, "It's a pity that you can't get what you want."

After taking back the Heavenly Master's Cloud Staff, the Phoenix Queen turned around, her sleeves fluttering, and flew away from the scene accompanied by a purple light.

"In the prosperous times, the lights are on, the world is weighed, and the generations are charming. Fame is nothing but rumors, a smile is turned back, and every step is in the smoke of gunpowder."

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Inside the Ziyao Imperial Palace, the imperial concubine selection process is drawing to a close.

After Hong Chenxue left, Yao Yue and Lian Xing entered and left one after another. Like the others before them, they left with unknown conditions.

Only Yu Ci Xin and Cui Luo Han were left at the scene.

"Please invite Miss Cui to come in." The ceremonial officer announced the ninth candidate from the bottom. Cui Luohan was not as nervous as at the beginning.

At this time, she understood that the final candidate for the Crown Princess would be between herself and Yu Ci Xin.

The other person will inevitably become a concubine.

Originally, he came here for his family. Cui Luohan knew in his heart that he was born in a merchant family. Although he was listed in the Hall of Fame of Lunjianhai, he was not famous enough in the world.

It is enough for her to be a concubine of the Heavenly Dynasty and to protect my younger brother and family.

Cui Luohan followed the ceremonial officer into the East Palace and met Shaoyang Jun.

Yu Ci Xin was left at the scene, her brows furrowed. It was obvious that she had thought of what Cui Luohan had thought of.

The difference between her and Cui Luohan is that she is now thinking about how to escape.

On the other hand, Cui Luohan followed the ceremonial officer into the East Palace and finally met Shaoyang Jun.

After the ceremonial officer left, Shao Yang Jun asked, "Cui Luohan, the daughter of Cui Wanyi of Wanyi Merchant Castle, is one of the top swordsmen who have their names recorded in the Hall of Fame along with Fenggu Laike, Yan Gexing, Dian Lunhui and others. Tell me why you are here."

Cui Luohan saw that Shaoyang Jun knew her origins very well, so she no longer concealed them, "Your Highness, I believe you already know why I came. Cui Luohan wants to be your concubine."

"Is it for the sake of the family?" Shaoyang Jun explained to Cui Luohan: "In fact, the laws and regulations of our Heavenly Dynasty are strict. As long as Wanyi Shangbao abides by the law, there will be no worries. On the contrary, if someone violates the laws of the Heavenly Dynasty, even if they are royal relatives, I will never show mercy. Cui Luohan, you don't have to do this."

"Since His Royal Highness knows everything, Cui Luohan will not lie to His Royal Highness. I did come for my family, but not just for my father's Wanyi Merchant Castle, but also for my younger brother."

“Is it Cui Housheng?”

Shao Yangjun's words confirmed Cui Luohan's guess. The Heavenly Dynasty did investigate the candidates.

However, this is understandable. When it comes to the selection of the Crown Princess of the Celestial Empire, how can one not be cautious?

Cui Luohan readily admitted: "Your Highness's guess is correct, it is for my little brother. My little brother has been well cared for since he was a child, and he is kind and simple by nature. If one day I encounter an accident and my parents are not around, who can protect him?"

"Since you have already realized it, how can I refuse?" Shaoyang Jun called the etiquette officer and ordered: "Pass on my order. From now on, Cui Luohan will be the concubine of my crown prince, and her brother Cui Housheng will be the Marquis of Chengle."

"Yes, sir." This time the ceremonial officer was obviously more diligent than the last time in the morning. He walked and ran out to announce Shaoyang Lord's decree.

After the imperial edict was issued, Shaoyang Jun said to Cui Luohan, "Dear Concubine Cui, please go to the side hall and wait. When the matter here is finished, I will take you to visit my father and mother."

"Yes, I understand." Cui Luohan followed the palace maid, left the back hall, and went into the side hall to wait.

With Cui Luohan being chosen as the concubine, it goes without saying that the final position of Crown Princess will fall to Yu Cixin.

Yu Ci Xin certainly understood that when the ceremonial officer invited her in, his attitude, although not flattering, was much more respectful than when he invited people in before.

Yu Ci Xin had lived in the palace since childhood, so she could naturally perceive the reasons behind the change in the attitude of the ceremonial officer.

He secretly groaned, not wanting to experience such a miserable situation. Not only did he not find his little sister, but he also lost his life.

She already had a solution in mind, and followed the ceremonial officer into the East Palace, where she met the Crown Prince of the Ziyao Dynasty who had caused her so much trouble.

Before Shaoyang Jun could speak, Yu Cixin spoke first: "..."
