I became a saint in the game

Although the cooperation with the Japanese pirates was no secret, there were very few people in the royal palace who knew the inside story.

A returning man who was imprisoned in a dungeon knew certain inside information, and it must be someone who leaked it.

Although the scout captain had a humble status, he had special duties and could stay near the prince. Moreover, on the day when the Japanese pirate envoy came, he happened to come back to report, so it was self-evident who tipped off the returning man.

Disclosing the prince's affairs without permission is a crime that could be serious or minor, so it's no wonder that the guard leader looked serious.

The scout captain wanted to kill Chen Shicheng at this moment. Why don't you come up with an excuse to get away with it instead of dragging me into this? If you are really reprimanded by the prince this time, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost.

Thinking of this, he glared at Chen Shicheng in annoyance.

Chen Shicheng also noticed his eyes and knew that it was indeed not a very fair thing to do to drag someone into this matter, but he did know the inside story and maybe it could turn into a good thing afterwards.

He stepped forward and patted the scout captain on the shoulder, "Brother, don't panic. I really know the clue to the Xunxian Ship. You will know it soon."

Soon, the person who went to report ran back, first looked at Chen Shicheng in surprise, and then whispered a few words in the ear of the guard leader.

The guard leader nodded and waved his hand, "Take him to see the prince."

Escorted by a team of more than a dozen people, Chen Shicheng passed through several gardens and finally arrived at the backyard of the palace. There he met the legendary King Zhenhai in the study where the Japanese pirates were said to be received.

What is surprising is that the King of Zhenhai is actually a young man who looks to be only in his early twenties, and has a gentle and elegant temperament, which does not match the title of Zhenhai at all.

"Uh, hello, King Zhenhai?" Chen Shicheng greeted him uncertainly.

"How dare you not kneel down and salute the prince? Someone, come here."

"Wait a minute."

Just as a middle-aged man with a shrill voice, no beard and a pale face was angrily scolding Chen Shicheng, Prince Zhenhai chuckled and waved his hand to stop the guards who wanted to rush in.

"He is a returnee from his hometown. He has always been lawless and does not need to abide by these mundane etiquettes."

"King Zhenhai is so generous!"

Chen Shicheng was not polite either. He bowed perfunctorily and walked straight to the huge map on the side.

This is a map of the East China Sea. There are small flags scattered on the sea, and there are some instructions next to the flags. Looking up, it turns out to be a record of all the immortal-seeking ships that have been seen over the past thousand years.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, what kind of opportunity is this Immortal Seeking Ship that can make you, a prince, so concerned about it and cooperate with those...

Chen Shicheng didn't finish his words, but the prince knew what he had omitted. When the eunuch next to him was about to speak, he stood up, walked to the map, and used his finger to hook a twisted route on the flag.

"Everyone knows that although the Immortal-Seeking Ship encountered some accidents on its way back, it did find the Immortal Island and brought back some things from the island. But do you know which island the Immortal-Seeking Ship found?" King Zhenhai said, looking at the map with some obsession.

"There are countless ancient fairy islands overseas. They must have just randomly found one and climbed up there. They couldn't possibly climb up to those famous ancient fairy and god temples." Chen Shicheng said nonchalantly. "It's Jin'ao Island!"

"puff"

Chen Shicheng just picked up the teacup beside him and drank some water to moisten his throat, but then he heard such a shocking name and immediately spit it out.

The eunuch at the side took out a handkerchief from his chest and covered his mouth and nose with it in disgust, then called for the maid to come in and clean up.

Chen Shicheng ignored the sissy eunuch and looked at King Zhenhai in disbelief and asked, "Are you sure it's Jin'ao Island, not Yin'ao or Tie'ao Island? You should know that it's the headquarters of Jiejiao, the dojo of the saint Tongtian!"

"Oh, you, a returnee, know a lot." King Zhenhai looked at Chen Shicheng with some surprise.

"It's not important. Any player knows this kind of thing." Chen Shicheng looked at the King of Zhenhai with shining eyes. "So, there are things of the Master Tongtian of Jin'ao Island on the ship. Is it a technique? The 'Shangqing Jiejing' of Jiejiao, or a magic weapon? 'Purple Lightning Hammer', 'Qingping Sword'? It can't be the Four Swords of Zhuxian, right?"

"How could such a small fleet really enter the interior of Jin'ao Island? They just circled the periphery and came back." King Zhenhai shook his head, "But you who returned home are indeed loved by the immortals and gods, and your legacy has never been cut off."

Upon hearing that the Immortal-Seeking Ship did not enter the interior of Jin'ao Island, Chen Shicheng's passion instantly cooled, but he was soon attracted by the King of Zhenhai's next words.

"Loved by the gods? What does that mean?"

"What you just said are all royal secrets. Even though I am only qualified to enter the secret library after being crowned as king, according to what you said, everyone who returns home knows it."

Prince Zhenhai shook his head somewhat disappointedly and told Chen Shicheng some secrets.

In the ancient times, the heaven and earth changed greatly, and the gods and immortals fell one after another. In order to continue the human race, some gods collected the pure-blooded humans in the form of human races and secretly sent them to the last pure land, Shangri-La, to avoid the extinction of the human race.

It was not known whether the Great God's plan was formulated too hastily or the changes were too troublesome, but when the Great God was collecting the human race, he missed many of them, and those people were the ancestors of the human race in the current Earthly Immortal Realm.

After countless years, it was unknown when the strange changes would end, and the immortals and gods all perished as they had predicted. However, unexpectedly, the human race they had left behind began to thrive, gradually spread across the earth, and once again dominated the world until now.

"In fact, before you returned home, the court already knew when you would appear, but how to deal with you was a difficult problem. The ministers debated endlessly, and finally decided to wait and see how the situation developed before making further arrangements."

The King of Zhenhai finally revealed a shocking secret, causing Chen Shicheng's eyes to widen instantly. "That formation from a while ago."

"Some ministers are dissatisfied with you, the beloved human race, and want the righteous monks to teach you a lesson. If you can survive it, it's fine, but if you can't, you deserve it." King Zhenhai said with a relaxed look.

"So the soldiers guarding the capital city at that time did not take any precautions against the players' actions. They only drove them away for stability after the formation was broken."

Only then did Chen Shicheng understand why the actions of the Dayu court were inconsistent in this mission. On the one hand, it provided the site for the construction of the altar and sent people to guard it, but on the other hand, it remained indifferent to the players' infiltration.

So the root is here! (End of this chapter)
