The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 84 Don’t Ask Why the Building Collapsed (Two in One)

The porcelain doll that Gu Fangchen threw out was the most valuable of the four items he had previously obtained from the dentist.

In "Mirror in the Dust", the quality levels of items are also divided into nine levels.

They are respectively: Supreme quality (colorful), Divine quality (red), Top quality (orange), Rare quality (gold), Top quality (purple), Fine quality (blue), Intermediate quality (green), Miscellaneous quality (grey), and No quality (white).

The two weapons, "Thousand Tribulations Silk" and "Rising Blue Sea Tide", are both of gold quality, which means they are rare items.

Although rare, it is not so rare that it cannot be reproduced and is the only one in the world.

The initial level of the "Shen Yun Bottle" is only blue fine quality, but the highest level is orange, which is the best quality.

Because the "Soul Bottle" also needs to be upgraded through refining the soul. The more you eat, the faster it upgrades. It is definitely an evil weapon.

But this thing can only refine third-grade Shinto cultivators at most, and it is powerless against second-grade cultivators.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, these three things are rare treasures in the world.

However, this unassuming porcelain doll, which looks like a pure white and somewhat cute porcelain doll, is one of the few red masterpieces in the game!
This porcelain doll is actually named "Blood Substitute Boy".

It is something from "Tan Yuan", yes, that is the sect to which the character controlled by the player in the plot belongs.

In the original plot of "Mirror in the Dust", the player who can influence the future pattern is not a small figure, but a disciple of the hidden sect "Tan Yuan".

However, there has been no detailed description of this sect from beginning to end.

It is only written that whenever "Tan Yuan" is about to appear in troubled times, he will send his disciples into the world to end the disputes.

The behavior pattern is somewhat similar to the "Tianming Dao" where Xu Fu belongs.

It just doesn't work every time.

But now Gu Fangchen thought that if we combine the fact that Emperor Yong'an is the "Master of Hengchang Dao", and that he is actually the one who started and ended the troubled times.

Then there is a possibility that is extremely scary when you think about it -

This so-called hidden sect "Tan Yuan" may actually believe in "Heng Chang".

In the plot, since the player controls the character, the player's behavior reflects his or her thoughts, so the player knows very little about the character's origin and past.

So, this is just a guess.

Maybe, he simply cares about the people?
In this world now, there are no such things as players. I wonder if "Tan Yuan" will send his disciples into the world again...

No matter what, "Tan Yuan" has existed for an extremely long time, and many items left by disciples from past generations have been scattered around the world.

Not only is the quality good, but only players who are disciples of "Tan Yuan" know how to use it.

It can be regarded as a benefit and collection given by the game to players.

As a player with all collections and achievements, Gu Fangchen would certainly not miss this amazing item.

The function of this "blood-substitute boy" is very simple. To put it bluntly, it uses blood as a medium to temporarily replace the cause and effect of two people's physical bodies.

It is a kind of cause and effect magic.

In this game, most of the objects with human-shaped appearance are related to cause and effect.

For example, the substitution technique of "Six Star Gods" is activated by using a scarecrow as a medium.

At this moment, the "Blood Substitute Boy" porcelain doll was already stained with Gu Fangchen's own blood, and then with the blood of this fifth-grade master.

In an instant, the blood of the two people was absorbed by the porcelain doll.

Two extremely strange blushes suddenly appeared on the white and clean face of the porcelain doll, and she grinned.

"Blood Substitution Technique", activated!

Ning Songjun felt his eyebrows jump, and he suddenly felt an extreme sign of danger, and his pupils constricted immediately.

He hadn't felt such a clear threat for many years.

Even if he used his spiritual consciousness to control other people's bodies, no one had ever been able to give him a premonition of danger.

And today, he was controlling a fifth-grade Grandmaster, and he actually felt this way about a sixth-grade one?!
Ning Songjun had already seen the porcelain doll on the ground and immediately realized that it was because of this strange thing.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his sword intent suddenly surged. He wanted to cut off the porcelain doll and stop it from attacking.

But it's too late.

To others, the injuries on Gu Fangchen's body at this moment were truly fatal.

However, Ning Songjun on the opposite side was only injured in the explosion of his arm.

The injuries on both sides were exchanged, and Gu Fangchen made a huge profit.

The two of them blinked uncontrollably at the same time. The moment they closed their eyes, they could still see the porcelain doll's weird smiling face appear before their eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Gu Fangchen's soul returned to its place and he felt a sharp pain in his arm.

When Ning Songjun opened his eyes again, he had returned to his original body.

This also means that the fifth-rank cultivator he controlled has already died...

His face looked grim and his eyes were extremely solemn.

I don’t know the identity of this person who used such decisive and strange methods, but... he is truly a hero!

Ning Songjun immediately reached out and grabbed the sword beside him, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the direction of Ning Caiyong's carriage.

In Ning Songjun's opinion, such a dangerous person, who had just threatened to find Ning Caiyong, was obviously going to do something bad to Ning Caiyong.

We must rush to Ning Caiyong as soon as possible and kill this guy immediately!

……

"call……"

Gu Fangchen looked at the fifth-grade cultivator in front of him who fell straight down with a bloody hole between his eyebrows, his eyes closed, and let out a long sigh.

Then he sat down on the ground, feeling unbearable pain in both arms.

"hiss--"

"That's good...both arms are useless now."

Gu Fangchen looked at the injuries on his two arms. One of his arms was just bleeding, but the other one was in a horrible state.

The previous injuries did not affect his movements much, but now they are incurable.

Fortunately, I had obtained a lot of things from the unfortunate fifth-grade formation practitioner Huadu Zhenren who passed away.

When you are out, you should loot more.

Gu Fangchen picked up the porcelain doll that had regained its fair and lovely color, dug out a few healing pills, swallowed them whole, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing on the spot.

No matter that Gu Lianxian is still frightened behind the cold pond waterfall...

Well, anyway, the biggest danger has been eliminated now.

——Even though the Sword Master was here in person, there wouldn’t be any danger.

If Gu Lianxian doesn't suffer a little, how can she realize how dangerous the situation is at the moment.

Then she would begin to think about why Gu Yuye did not come to rescue her in person under such circumstances.

Only then will you understand how weak and ridiculous the so-called father-daughter relationship in her heart is.

More importantly, this heroic rescue of the beauty that Gu Fangchen is about to direct and act out can only produce the effect of saving a collapsing building at the moment when Gu Lianxian is most fearful.

Don’t ask why the building collapsed!
Anyway, it was helped up!
...Inside the Ziji Palace.

Gu Yuye had been kneeling in the hall for three days and three nights, his face extremely heavy.

A hundred years after the Yong'an Emperor, the number of times Emperor Yong'an attended court became very few. Basically, he would only formally attend court once every few years. The rest of the time, he would summon one or several ministers individually.

At other times, Xiao Qiu would issue the imperial edict.

The last time civil and military officials were summoned was because Gu Yuandao won the top three places in the imperial examinations and was accepted as a true disciple by the sage. Therefore, a special court meeting was held to give Gu Yuye a chance to perform.

Gu Yuye not only went to the palace in armor to question the battle report, but also spoke with certainty and certainty about the collapse of Qiu'an Dao's front line.

Emperor Yong'an's attitude was quite tolerant. He just asked him to "reflect quietly for three days" in the Ziji Palace and not to be so hasty and reckless in the future.

Fortunately, Emperor Yong'an rarely held court meetings, otherwise all civil and military officials would have the opportunity to admire the "heroic figure" of the "Military Saint" kneeling for a long time.

But for Gu Yuye, this kind of "quiet contemplation" is more painful than death.

These few days were enough for the news to spread from Ziji Palace to all parts of Huangtian City.

I wonder how many of his former enemies are secretly mocking him at this moment!

The "Military Saint" who was known for his meticulous planning could actually make such an absurd mistake in military intelligence. Qiu Andao's situation was completely contrary to his judgment!

This means that Gu Yuye completely failed to control the battle situation, and the title of "Military Saint" can almost be said to be undeserved.

How highly Gu Yuye was praised in the past, how badly he has fallen now.

What’s more important is that many of his soldiers obeyed his orders because of his reputation as the “Military Saint” and they had a very high level of cohesion.

It's not that Gu Yuye never makes mistakes, but the mistakes he made in the past were at most just errors in details, not something as outrageous as the complete opposite.

But now, I don’t know how many people will be shaken by this...

This is the biggest blow to Gu Yuye!

And for the past three days, he was trapped in the Ziji Palace and unable to adjust the situation below, which was even worse.

He exposed his ambition, but could not go any further. Instead, he had to keep to himself and leave no room for Emperor Yong'an to take advantage of the situation.

It is equivalent to directly losing control of the entire situation.

Even though Gu Lianxian has become the target of public criticism, Gu Yuye still doesn't dare to send people to rescue her in a high-profile manner.

In order to gain the trust of Emperor Yong'an, he took his family members as hostages in Huangtian City.

So now, even if Gu Lianxian has the "Lotus in the Womb", he cannot disobey Emperor Yong'an's "quiet meditation" order.

This is his "loyalty".

Emperor Yong'an trapped him in Ziji Palace at this time, and he must have wanted him to appear "loyal".

Even if Gu Lianxian developed some distrust towards him later, so what?

Anyway, his original plan was to use Gu Lianxian as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Tara Sect.

In his heart, Gu Lianxian was already a discarded pawn that could be used at any time.

Gu Lianxian is indeed a very good knife.

But if she could win over the entire Tara sect, that would be Gu Lianxian’s greatest value.

Gu Yuye lowered his head and looked at the mirror-smooth ground, where the dragon throne was reflected faintly behind the heavy curtains.

The biggest problem now is how to regain the trust of the Tara Sect and find out why that damn demon sect attacked the Liansheng Temple.

As for Gu Lianxian's safety, Gu Yuye was not worried.

The people in Jiange would only be more anxious than him...

Is there anyone in this world that the Sword Saint cannot protect?

……

When Gu Fangchen jumped into the hidden cave behind the cold pond, Gu Lianxian was lying on the ground in the corner, trembling while holding an ugly little clay figurine.

The pretty and bright girl's face was pale and bloodless, with tear marks all over her cheeks and teardrops on her long and curly eyelashes. She was only wearing a goose yellow bellyband and her wrinkled coat underneath.

It was covered in dirt, like a wilted little white radish just pulled out of the ground.

There were many dried bloodstains on the muddy and wet ground, and the scene was extremely tragic.

It is obvious that the pursuit in the past few days has really caused the little princess of the palace to suffer a lot.

"Ugh."

Gu Fangchen sighed.

Some memories of the original body suddenly emerged.

As for the original body, he had a pretty good relationship with Gu Lianxian when he was a child. After all, she was his only biological sister.

When Gu Lianxian was two or three years old, she also liked to follow behind Gu Fangchen and act like a little follower.

When we grew up a little, we robbed bird nests together and got scolded together.

These memories are always so vivid in the original body's mind.

But later, as Gu Fangchen's Dantian was destroyed and Gu Lianxian's talent became more and more dazzling, everyone's attention shifted to the martial arts genius Gu Lianxian.

At first, Gu Fangchen hired someone to fight back because he was being ridiculed.

But later, at some point, his ears were filled with comments comparing him and Gu Lianxian, and he even beat those people.

In his eyes, Gu Lianxian became more and more dazzling, even to the point of being an eyesore.

In the end, it became a tit-for-tat situation.

In Gu Fangchen's opinion, Gu Lianxian does not understand his world at all, but blindly treats those people as good people and uses them against him.

It's just extremely stupid.

In Gu Lianxian's opinion, Gu Fangchen was becoming more and more extreme, and as she listened to other people's words so much, she naturally developed similar ideas.

At the beginning, Gu Fangchen also wanted to change his impression on Gu Lianxian and gave her many rare things that he could get.

However, the more he exploited his power as a prince, the more hopeless he seemed to Gu Lianxian.

Until later, Gu Fangchen was blinded by jealousy and even influenced by the priests he recruited, and thought about destroying Gu Lianxian's talent.

And this offering.

In fact, it should be Gu Yuye's people...

Of course, before Gu Fangchen could do anything, he was discovered by Gu Lianxian, who kicked him directly into the lake water in the middle of winter to sober up, and he almost suffered a poison attack.

Gu Fangchen curled the corners of his mouth. Gu Yuye really did his best to turn the original body into a complete useless person.

But this account still needs to be settled one by one!
Gu Fangchen picked up Gu Lianxian's belt from the ground, put his hand over Gu Lianxian's eyes and tied a knot, then waved his hand, rolled up the cold pond water and splashed it on Gu Lianxian.

"what!"

Gu Lianxian woke up suddenly.
