Chapter 74 Earth Level Qi Hai Realm and Capture the Flag Challenge
A middle-aged counselor under the eldest prince's command, upon hearing the intelligence from the spies, especially after hearing that Jia Zhen had been beheaded by Xu Hao and that the fire had not yet reached the other courtyard, was immediately furious:

"Damn, damn, damn!"

The middle-aged strategist slapped the jade table in front of him hard, smashing it to pieces.

According to his plan, this time he would just give Xu Hao a small punishment and a big warning, so that he would make a big mistake. Even if the Ninth Princess and her family tried their best to protect him, he would not be able to escape unscathed.

At worst, you will be downgraded.

As long as he is not a centurion, the subsequent calculations will be easier.

But now, everything has changed.

With this unclear plan, it would be extremely difficult to do it again.

What’s more crucial is that Xu Hao was able to cut Jia Zhen in half with just one blow.

He knew Jia Zhen's background very well. He was an undercover agent of the White Lotus Sect and was very powerful, having reached the Earth level.

In addition, because of Jia Gui's hatred, sending Jia Zhen was just the right thing to do. Even if the matter was investigated later, it would not implicate other people.

But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that Jia Zhen, an undercover agent of the White Lotus Sect, could not hide his hatred and dared to cause trouble for Xu Hao in private.

What he could not have imagined was that Xu Hao actually possessed the cultivation and strength to kill a strong earth-level warrior in seconds.

"Is the Ninth Princess really the chosen one? It's ok that she is strong, but any one of her subordinates has such strength, almost reaching the top of the Earth Ranking!" The middle-aged strategist in white had a ferocious look on his face.

Soon, the middle-aged strategist in white regained his composure. With a decisive mind, he ordered his men, "Have Captain Liu take action. Tell him to eliminate Xu Hao. The organization has trained him for so many years, and it's time for him to repay the organization!"

"Yes!" The spy nodded immediately.

The middle-aged strategist in white looked at the shattered jade table, his eyes flashing dangerously.

Judging from the information about the execution of Jia Zhen, he had already determined Xu Hao's strength and status, and regarded him as an unparalleled genius.

Because Xu Hao has just reached the Earth Rank, he already possesses strength close to the Earth Ranking. This makes him an elite among elites in any force.

If such a person cannot be killed in the early stage, once he is allowed to grow up, he will definitely be a strong man on the Earth List. At that time, the strength of the Ninth Princess's faction will increase dramatically.

Liu Qianhu was originally their death warrior. Although he had strength close to the Earth List, he was too old and his potential was exhausted. No matter how much he was trained, it would be difficult for him to be on the Earth List.

If they use Captain Liu to exchange for Xu Hao, they will make a huge profit.

Moreover, even if Liu Qianhu really encountered a slight accident and Xu Hao won by chance, they would push Xu Hao to a height that no one could reach.

Just imagine, if a newcomer directly holds the position of a thousand households, and it is a position with real power, how can others keep their position?
No one wants to add a powerful general to the Ninth Princess's family.

At that time, he only needs to sit back and witness Xu Hao's death.

This is a conspiracy.

Because both the pros and cons are beneficial to him.

"Since you want to cultivate elites, then I will treat you like an elite. If you want to destroy someone, you must first drive them crazy. Let's see if you can handle it!"

The middle-aged strategist in white showed a wicked smile, because he knew that Xu Hao would probably accept the challenge. The latter was a power-hungry person and easily impulsive. As long as Captain Liu provoked him and offered him the position of Captain, he believed that Xu Hao would accept it.

Soon, the middle-aged strategist in white began to prepare for the next response.

Apart from the eldest prince, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue all looked bewildered and puzzled.

"How did Jia Zhen end up in the palace, wearing night clothes?" an official asked in confusion.

Although the Ministry of Revenue was also greedy, it knew the progress and knew what should be done and what should not be done.

Now, Jia Zhen actually ran into the palace alone. Didn’t he know that the White Lotus Sect attacked the palace some time ago and almost reached the inner city of the palace?

"Is it because of Jia Gui's incident? I heard that Jia Gui and Xu Hao tried to seize the flag, but he was seriously injured and died. Now that he saw Xu Hao become a centurion, he must want to fight to the death!"

"Well, I understand his desire for revenge, but he's the head of the Ministry of Revenue. We're already being watched by the Supervisory Department, and now we've given them a pretext. I'm afraid we're going to lose most of our profits!"

"What can we do? The emperor is injured and recuperating, and the Ninth Princess is in charge of the Pacification Office, and she is trying to rectify the government. Even if there is no Jia Zhen incident, there will be other excuses. Let's think about how to deal with Jia Zhen's rebellion first!" After discussing with each other, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue went to prepare. They did not list Xu Hao as the main target.

Because they knew that it was the Ninth Princess who was going to put things in order, they would first have to face the pressure from the Ninth Princess.

In the Pacification Office, Tang Wan'er immediately reported Xu Hao's situation to the Ninth Princess, and also handed over the excuse of "Jia Zhen's rebellion".

"Oh? The Minister of Revenue Jia Zhen rebelled?" The Ninth Princess looked at Tang Wan'er, and a hint of joy appeared on her beautiful face.

She was worried that she couldn't find any excuse, and now Jia Zhen's rebellion gave her the opportunity.

It doesn’t matter whether it is true or not, as long as there is this reason, it is enough.

Soon, the Ninth Princess began to issue a series of orders, and then personally sent strong men to the Ministry of Revenue to take action.

It was late at night, and after the other forces received the specific situation, they all fell silent.

"Where on earth did this kid come from? He's growing up so fast!"

"You dare to take action, I wonder how the Ministry of Revenue will react!"

"Let's just watch the show first. The Great Xuan Dynasty is in a precarious situation right now. Let's conserve our strength first and let them fight each other!"

Everyone knows that tonight is not destined to be a peaceful night.

At the same time, in Captain Liu's courtyard, he received orders from the Crown Prince's military advisor.

He looked at the secret letter in his hand, his face struggling for a long time, and finally he could only sigh.

Previously it was Captain Liu, and now it’s my turn.

As a chess piece, you have no control over your actions.

He thought about running away, but he couldn't escape with his property and his family.

Besides, he is old and does not have such great ambitions.

Moreover, Captain Liu was also very clear about the eldest prince's style. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished even if he was chased to the ends of the earth.

What's more, he is not without a chance!

"Forget it, then let's fight with real swords and guns to decide the winner and life and death!" Captain Liu was ready to follow Captain Liu's plan.

The only uncertainty now is whether Xu Hao will come to take the challenge.

Judging from his behavior, Xu Hao likes being an official very much. Captain Liu just provoked him and Xu Hao accepted the fight. Now if he were to provoke him himself, perhaps he would be able to make him accept it.

If Xu Hao really doesn't accept the challenge, then he can only murder him in secret.

This was a choice that he had to make as a last resort, because if he chose this option, even if he murdered Xu Hao, he would still face the wrath of the Ninth Princess, and his entire family would still be killed.

"Let's issue a declaration of war first!" Captain Liu stood up and prepared to find some friends to force the Xu family or Xu Hao to accept the challenge.

While all parties were still making plans, Xu Hao was still sitting cross-legged in his room, frantically absorbing the energy of the spiritual liquid and strengthening his own Qi Sea.

boom.

After a while, Xu Hao's whole body shook, and a powerful aura wrapped around him, forming a unique momentum.

The Earth Level Qi Hai Realm was completely achieved.

……

……

I got the news that it should be on the shelves next Monday or Tuesday, so I’m saving it now!
