Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 129 Risk and Opportunity

"Your Excellency!" the captain of the Imperial Guards quickly replied, "These men in black were secretly recruited by the Crown Prince and kept within his palace. They usually obey his orders, but I never expected they would harbor evil intentions!"

The captain of the imperial guards sighed slightly.

These are all the eldest prince’s confidants!
She is more favored by the Crown Prince than any of them.

As it turned out, the enemy had made arrangements in advance.

"Well, search the entire palace. I don't believe there is anything left out!" Xu Hao ordered immediately.

He arrived in time and killed the man in black very early, so there must be a lot of evidence and intelligence in the eldest prince's bedroom that had not been cleaned up in time.

Then he can use this opportunity to find the hidden mastermind behind the incident.

"Yes!" The captain of the imperial guards nodded immediately without any hesitation.

Now that the eldest prince is dead, he has completely lost his power. They can no longer be loyal to him and can only flee when disaster strikes.

They need to find their own backers.

And the Xu Hao in front of him is an ideal candidate.

First of all, Xu Hao is powerful and is the commander of the imperial guards. Secondly, behind Xu Hao is the ninth princess Xuan Qingxiao. No matter from which aspect, they are people who need to be flattered.

"Sir, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?" A captain who came quickly saluted and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh? Tell me about it!" Xu Hao looked at the captain with great interest.

"Earlier, Your Excellency seemed to be looking for the origins of the man in black. I can probably guess who he is!" The captain first expressed his attitude and then whispered, "Due to the convenience of my position, I have learned some secrets. Just a few days ago, the eldest prince went to the Prime Minister's residence, and then a heavenly-level expert came to the Xu family and wanted to murder you, Your Excellency. I suspect that this matter is related to the Prime Minister's lineage.

The entire court is full of calculations, and only the prime minister can do such a thing!"

"Oh?" Xu Hao became interested.

Qian Hu did not dare to hide anything and revealed the rise of the prime minister and other people's opinions about him one by one.

In a word, the prime minister is very strategic and powerful, and he is the only one who can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Oh, I understand!" Xu Hao stood up immediately.

If someone else wanted to take action, they would need to consider a lot of things, and even need concrete evidence from all aspects.

For example, the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao, even if she knew that the Prime Minister had taken action, she would consider all aspects, even the impact and other people's opinions after the action.

But Xu Hao doesn't need it.

As a famous saying in the previous life goes, cracking down on organized crime requires evidence, while counter-terrorism only requires a list.

As long as he is sure that it is an enemy, he will attack directly.

I don't care about your this and that.

He also found out that the prime minister had done many evil things in secret, and even colluded with cults.

It’s just that the prime minister is trusted by the old emperor and has great power, so he has been unable to get rid of his influence.

Even the Ministry of Revenue of Jia Gui's family last time was the direct faction of the prime minister.

Xu Hao felt that even if his estimate was wrong, it was not considered as indiscriminate killing, but rather a punishment for corrupt officials.

Get rid of the evil for the sake of fame!
Xu Hao stood up and left, but more people came over after hearing the news.

After all, he is the eldest prince. Although he has not been appointed as the crown prince, his identity and status are admired by countless people.

The death of everyone in the eldest prince's bedroom was undoubtedly a huge event.

Before Xu Hao had gone far, he was stopped and questioned by people from the clan office.

Fortunately, Xu Hao's arrival was supported by countless imperial guards, and Xu Hao himself was a powerful heavenly rank cultivator. Therefore, after only routine inquiries, they let Xu Hao leave.

Xu Hao walked out of the palace and went straight to the prime minister's residence without any hesitation.

【Daily fortune telling.】

[The Prime Minister is plotting against you, but because you are so powerful and invincible, you are about to rush to the Prime Minister's Mansion to resolve the dispute! ]

As soon as Xu Hao arrived near the Prime Minister's Mansion, a prompt came from the opportunity divination panel in his mind.

Xu Hao was stunned, then looked intently.

He looked at the handwritten information presented and had already made a judgment in his mind.

As he had guessed, the mastermind behind all this was someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Hmph, even if you have all the tricks up your sleeve, if you don't have the strength, what can you use to fight me?" Xu Hao sneered.

Planning also needs to be based on strength and rules.

Once your own strength is not enough, there is no point in talking about rules, and it will only limit yourself.

Xu Hao did not move rashly, but stopped and checked the specific situation.

After a moment, the draw positions appeared one by one:

[The fortune is very bad. Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately and kill the mastermind behind the scenes. You can get many heavenly opportunities.

However, with good fortune comes misfortune. The Prime Minister's Mansion has been an elite for decades, with countless formations and powerful people. Going there without permission will be full of dangers and will risk death. Very bad.

[If you win the lottery, just pretend you don't know who is behind it. After a night, everything is calm. Everything is stable, no worries, peace.]

[Due to your current status and cultivation, you can search for shallowly sealed Earth-level opportunities. Please improve your status and cultivation.]

"Gone?"

Xu Hao frowned as he looked at the two draw positions presented.

There are only two.

Strictly speaking, there is only one, which is a very bad omen.

"Is it so dangerous? With my current strength, I can't even sweep it away?" Xu Hao's expression froze.

He is extremely powerful.

He has the confidence to fight even against a strong man in the late Heavenly Stage.

But even with such combat power, there is a risk of death after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion.

From this point of view, the people in the Prime Minister’s Mansion are not simple!

No wonder the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao failed to eliminate the Prime Minister’s power.

"Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting!" Xu Hao took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Just because he is not an opponent now doesn't mean he won't be an opponent in the future.

Now he has just entered the Heavenly Stage. It only takes some time for him to rely on chance and divination to reach the late Heavenly Stage, or even the Spiritual Stage.

At that time, he would like to see whether he could still clear the obstacles with his spiritual level of cultivation.

"I'll let you live a few more days. I don't believe you will never go out!" Xu Hao was very sincere and turned around and left.

Since I can't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can only pretend that I don't know who is behind it.

Now, he is going to enter the palace again to look for his own opportunity.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the matter has been done, but all the assassins have died!" A spy reported to the Prime Minister.

"Hmm!" The prime minister in white nodded lightly, his eyes deep.

This time, he originally thought that he was sure to get rid of Xuan Qingxiao's left and right arms, and even kill Xuan Qingxiao with one blow.

As it turned out, man proposes, God disposes, and he failed at the last moment because of Xu Hao.

"Xu Hao, wait, this matter is far from over. Your trump card has been revealed. I hope you can still be so domineering and arrogant next time!"

Xu Hao returned to the entrance of the palace.

There are already huge crowds of people here and security is tight.

Xu Hao ignored the gazes around him and ran straight towards the avenue outside the palace.

Soon, Xu Hao arrived at a remote place.

He first observed his surroundings, and after confirming that no one was around, he opened the opportunity divination panel. [You have spent one opportunity refresh point. We are searching for you...]

Xu Hao waited for a moment, and a message appeared:
【Daily fortune telling.】

[You have become a serious threat to certain forces. They are intensifying their preparations. The next attack will be extremely brutal and powerful, and the crisis is intensifying...]

The moment the words appeared, Xu Hao's heart sank.

It seems that the two sides are fighting to the death.

He did not attack immediately, but the opponent became more aggressive and was gathering strength to attack him.

He was already at the Heavenly Rank, extremely powerful, so the next attack would definitely be a thunderbolt, extremely powerful.

At this moment, Xu Hao could not break into the Prime Minister's Mansion to nip the danger in the bud, and could only watch the other party gather strength.

"No, I can't let it go. I have to improve my strength as soon as possible. Let's see who runs faster and can get ahead!" Xu Hao suddenly showed a sense of urgency.

Now it's a race between the two sides.

It depends on who can get ahead.

As long as he is no longer able to passively activate the chance divination panel, it will be the end of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

"I will definitely be in the front." After Xu Hao secretly swore, he immediately stared at the opportunity divination panel.

As Xu Hao waited, the sign information appeared one by one:

[The worst fortune, at the hour of You, go to Weiyang Lake outside the Imperial Palace, open it with the Domain Breaking Seal, and you will get the opportunity to ascend to the Spiritual Stage.

However, with good fortune comes misfortune. The energy of the otherworld will be released, causing the demonic aura to infect, and will also make the royal family wary and confident, sealing off Weiyang Lake. Minor evil.]

[If you win the lottery, do nothing, and after a night, everything will be calm. Everything will be stable, no worries, and peace.]

[A good fortune, at the hour of You, go to Villa No. 12 of the Imperial Palace, open it with the Domain Breaking Seal, and you will get a chance to become a Spiritual Level.

However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and the powerful energy fluctuations will make the weasel accustomed to it, and there will be inexplicable cause and effect. Good luck.

[Due to your current status and cultivation, you can search for shallowly sealed Earth-level opportunities. Please improve your status and cultivation.]

Three fortune-telling positions appeared one after another.

One is a bad sign, which means bad luck; the other is a good sign, which means good luck.

"Not bad, there are benefits to be gained!" Xu Hao felt a little more at ease.

As long as there are benefits to be gained, he will have the confidence to become stronger than the prime minister.

When the time comes, he will want to see what confidence the Prime Minister and his entourage have.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and glanced at the signing information.

It is simple to make a bad sign, it has risks and benefits.

But when he came forward, Xu Hao gave up after just a glance.

Because the risk is not proportional to the return.

Weiyang Lake will be of benefit to him in the future. Now that the eldest prince is dead, all parties are on high alert. His sudden attack on Weiyang Lake will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences.

Not cost-effective.

Moreover, if you are clearly contaminated with the demonic aura, it is easy for you to be affected.

With the Prime Minister as his great enemy, Xu Hao was unwilling to get involved in anything that would affect his cultivation.

As for the best fortune, although it seems to have cause and effect.

But that's for later.

Because the heaven and earth are not visible now, the sealed space should not undergo major changes.

And even if there is a change, I think the harm will not be that big, otherwise this fortune would not only show good luck, but should be very bad luck.

After observing for a while, Xu Hao ran directly to Villa No. 12 in the outer city of the imperial palace.

The guards patrolling around are still there.

Xu Hao turned his head and looked around. After making sure that no one noticed him, he immediately performed the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada and jumped into the courtyard of Villa No. 12.

Without any hesitation, Xu Hao ran straight to the main room.

He looked around, closed the door, and began to bite his fingers to draw blood.

Xu Hao took out the brush with ease and began to carve talismans on the ground according to the patterns of the Domain-Breaking Seal that he had mastered.

Soon, Xu Hao finished drawing the seal-breaking seal, and only one stroke was left to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth.

Xu Hao waited quietly for the arrival of the hour of You.

At the same time, there was a space filled with blood-red fog, and there was a dead atmosphere everywhere.

Where the blood dragon had been standing, a weasel several stories tall was crawling on the ground.

Its entire body was emitting a faint demonic power, not much, but it permeated the entire surrounding space.

In front of it, there is a stone platform.

On the stone platform, there is a black sealing stone twice the size of a fist.

This is the bait.

It was not that it wanted to catch the thief Xu Hao, but it wanted to rely on its own innate instincts to cover and analyze the fluctuations of the sealed space.

As long as it has complete control over the fluctuations, it can escape in advance.

It had no chance before, but now it has the chance. In addition, its cultivation level is not very high, so it will be able to escape after just a few times.

"Thief, please come quickly, don't make me wait too long!" The weasel prayed in his heart.

The constant supply of demonic energy from all directions is a huge drain on it.

Moreover, it has to take out the "bait" to lure, and every loss is a heart-wrenching loss.

It can only pray that it can complete the coverage and analysis as soon as possible.

The weasel waited for a moment, his eyes slightly narrowed.

It is extremely difficult to stay focused at this moment, and this sealed space is so dry.

Time slips away slowly.

The hour of You arrived, and at the moment when the weasel was dozing off, Xu Hao in the outside world put down the last stroke of the Domain-Breaking Seal.

Wrapped in the innate罡气, the Breaking Domain Seal immediately emitted the same fluctuations.

boom.

Like a stone dropped into a calm lake.

A ripple emanated from the entire space.

The ripples quickly sank into the depths of space, and then a dark passage appeared.

Without any hesitation, Xu Hao stretched out his palm filled with innate energy and quickly grabbed it.

Extremely fast.

Xu Hao can now complete this process of seizing opportunities with his eyes closed, and his speed is getting faster and faster.

In an instant, Xu Hao's hand had reached in, and then the next moment after touching an entity, he pulled it back directly.

That speed is simply unimaginable.

"Hmm?" The weasel seemed to sense something, but when its eyes swept over, Xu Hao's hand had already retreated, but the spatial fluctuations were still spreading.

"Now!" The weasel was overjoyed and did not pursue the empty question.

Because it knew that the hole closed too quickly, even if it attacked, the effect would be minimal, so it would be better to use it to analyze the sealed space.

At the same time, Xu Hao in Villa No. 12 had a black sealing stone the size of two fists in his hand.
