Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

"What's going on?" Lu Xiaofeng asked hurriedly.

"Ye Gucheng helped the Prince of Nan to rebel." Chen Liu said.

"Ye Gucheng is rebelling?" Lu Xiaofeng was extremely surprised.

"Yes."

"Then he..." Lu Xiaofeng pointed at "Ye Gucheng" who was confronting Ximen Chuxue.

"It's fake." Chen Liu said.

Lu Xiaofeng: ...

Ximen Chuixue: ...

When Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, the women of Lianxing, Lu Xiaofeng, and Ximen Chuxue arrived at the palace where the shouts and screams were heard, they saw the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty calmly watching the imperial guards, masters from the palace, masters from the Hulong Villa, and the women from Cihang Jingzhai besieging and killing Ye Gucheng, the Yinkui Sect, and the Jianghu people under the Southern King under the protection of countless imperial guards and masters from the Hulong Villa.

The people from Cihang Jingzhai were fighting against the Yinkui Sect, and Eunuch Rong was facing off against Ye Gucheng.

Chen Liu also saw Murong Fu in the Southern King's camp. Next to Murong Fu was an old man who looked very similar to him. It seemed that was Murong Bo.

[Damn, Murong Bo and Murong Fu are really bent on rebellion. They can't stay in the Song Dynasty any longer, so they run to the Ming Dynasty to rebel.]

"Cousin?" Wang Yuyan also saw Murong Fu and was a little surprised, but then she smiled. Murong Fu's current state of desolation made her very happy.

After Wang Yuyan and Chen Liu arrived, Murong Fu also discovered them. When he saw Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan, Murong Fu's eyes turned red.

If Wang Yuyan hadn't exposed his concealed identity and his entry into Xixia's Yipintang, he would still be a noble son of the Song Dynasty, plotting to restore his country. He wouldn't be like this, being tossed around like a stray dog. After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, not only did he fail to bring the Ming Dynasty's Murong family into the lurch, but he also fell into the Ming Emperor's trap by colluding with the Southern Prince to secretly kill the Emperor and install his son as Emperor in his place. Seeing the imperial guards surrounding them, the Ming Palace masters who had been waiting for them, the martial arts masters, and the imperial guards who were now approaching, how could he not realize that this was a trap?

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had long known that the Southern King was going to rebel, and had already dug a trap for them to jump into.

Murong Bo faced off against another Grandmaster from the Daming Imperial Palace. Witnessing the might and destructive power of their clash, Chen Liu thought to himself, "As expected, Murong Bo is also a Grandmaster! Damn it! Murong Bo is now in Daming! Looks like I have to run again. Otherwise, if he escapes, he'll definitely hunt me down. How about trying to keep Murong Bo here and let the Daming masters finish him off? As long as Murong Fu can't leave, Murong Bo definitely won't leave either. But I can't defeat Murong Fu. If I want to detain him, Yuyan and Lianxing will have to intervene."

Murong Bo gave Wang Yuyan a cold look. Murong Bo hated Wang Yuyan to the core. After all, it was Wang Yuyan who destroyed the Murong family of the Song Dynasty. But Murong Bo was a remarkably patient man. To restore his country, he even feigned death and hid in Shaolin Temple for over twenty years, stealing martial arts secrets. He also knew the importance of the situation. The masters of the Ming Dynasty had already arrived. Ye Gucheng had been taken over by Ximen Chuixue, and Eunuch Rong was also heading their way. Furthermore, masters like Murong Wudi, Nangong Yuan, Mu Daoren, and Master Xinmei were also beginning to enter the arena. If they didn't leave now, they would be stuck.

Murong Bo moved his hands, led, circled, and pushed, and used the power of the grandmaster who was fighting against him to push the palm power towards the imperial guards who were besieging them. A fierce true energy struck the imperial guards, pushing dozens of imperial guards back, breaking bones, spitting blood, and some of them even vomited out their internal organs.

Murong Bo launched several consecutive palm strikes, killing the imperial guards and palace masters who were besieging them, leaving corpses all over the ground, causing heavy casualties and opening a gap.

The Grand Master is indeed powerful and is not someone that ordinary people can deal with. No matter how many people there are, it is of no use to them. The Grand Master can only be dealt with by a Grand Master.

After opening the gap, Murong Bo turned to Murong Fu and said, "This is impossible. Fu'er, you go first."

"Dad, what about you?" Murong Fu asked.

"They can't stop me." Murong Bo said.

"Okay!" Murong Fu also knew this truth, turned around and used Qinggong to run, but he didn't expect a stream of true energy to burst towards him. Murong Fu was shocked and hurriedly used Dou Zhuan Xing Yi to transfer it, but the incident happened suddenly, and the owner of this true energy was very familiar with Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, so Murong Fu couldn't resolve it at all.

"Wang Yuyan, you will not die well." Murong Fu almost went crazy when he saw that the person who intercepted him was Wang Yuyan, and shouted at Wang Yuyan madly.

"Cousin, you'd better get out of the palace alive first." Wang Yuyan said with a smile, "Don't die here."

Chapter 236 Ye Gucheng

Wanwan was extremely anxious when she saw her master being surrounded and fought by Cihang Jingzhai, the Ming Dynasty's palace masters and the imperial guards. She kept winking at her master Zhu Yuyan, asking her to leave quickly.

Zhu Yuyan also saw Wanwan and was relieved to see she was alright. Wanwan had been missing for a while, and while she knew that with her strength and intelligence, the likelihood of her being in trouble was low, she still felt a little worried.

Zhu Yuyan glanced at Wanwan, then turned and broke free. She didn't rush into recognizing Wanwan, as that would only drag her into the situation. As for Wen Caiting, Danmei, and Bian Bufu, who were being held captive by the Cihang Jingzhai and the Imperial Palace's experts, she no longer cared about them.

Although the loss of three masters would cause serious damage to the Yinkui Sect, if she wanted to save Danmei and the others, she might also be sacrificed, so she couldn't die.

Zhu Yuyan could abandon the Yinkui Sect's masters and escape, but Murong Bo would never abandon Murong Fu. If Murong Fu died, his entire lineage of the Murong clan in the Song Dynasty would be extinct. Seeing Murong Fu being beaten back by Wang Yuyan, and then surrounded and besieged by the Palace's masters and Hulong Villa's top secret agents Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao, Murong Bo could only fend off the siege of the Palace's two great masters while rescuing Murong Fu.

Since Ximen Chuxue arrived, Ye Gucheng stopped fighting. Looking at the densely packed palace guards and inner court masters around him, he knew that their action today had failed, and even he could not leave.

Ximen Chuxue asked. "Are you the real Ye Gucheng?"

Ye Gucheng said: "It's me."

Ximen Chuxue asked, "Why?"

Ye Gucheng smiled and did not answer.

Ximen Chuxue suddenly said, "You learn swordsmanship."

Ye Gucheng said: "I am the sword."

Ximen Chuixue said, "Do you know the essence of the sword?"

Ye Gucheng said: "You say."

Ximen Chuixue said: "Yu Cheng."

Ye Gucheng said: "Sincerity."

Ximen Chuixue said, "Only with sincerity and righteous intentions can one reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Those who are not sincere are not even worthy of discussing swordsmanship."

Ye Gucheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

Ximen Chuxue stared at him and said, "You are not sincere."

Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "You are learning swordsmanship?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "There is no end to learning, and there is no end to learning swordsmanship."

Ye Gucheng said: "Since you are learning swordsmanship, you should know that those who learn swordsmanship only need to be honest with the sword, not with people."

The siege and killing in the palace was extremely brutal. In the end, except for Zhu Yuyan who was able to withdraw unscathed, and Murong Bo who was seriously injured by the palace's grandmaster and left with Murong Fu, all the people from the Prince of Nan's faction and his accomplices were left behind, including the three great masters of the Yinkui Sect.

And Ye Gucheng was willing to die under Ximen Chuxue's sword during the duel.

While watching the sword fight, Chen Liu also recorded Ye Gucheng's flying fairy, but he was not happy.

Chen Liu was extremely depressed when Murong Bo finally escaped with Murong Fu. Although Murong Bo was seriously injured and should be unable to deal with him in a short period of time, Murong Bo's status as a grandmaster was like a sharp knife hanging over his head.

Moreover, his Wang Yuyan not only destroyed the Murong family of the Song Dynasty, but this time he also ruined the conspiracy between Murong Bo and the King of the South to rebel. After Murong Bo's injury heals, he will definitely not let him go.

[I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible! ]

Murong Bo's escape made Chen Liu feel a sense of urgency. If he didn't have a grandmaster by his side, no one could stop Murong Bo.

"But is there any way to quickly improve my strength now? The Heshi Bi might be able to help. Let's see if I can use it to replenish my system's energy. If not, I'll find a way to channel the Heshi Bi's energy and absorb it. But the Heshi Bi is in the hands of the Great Sui Cihang Jingzhai now. How can I trick Shi Feixuan into giving it to me?"

Shi Feixuan, who had returned to Chen Liu's side, said: ...

[There's also the Evil Emperor's Relics in Yang Gong's Treasury, which contains the essence of the Evil Emperors of past generations. It might also work.]

The Evil Emperor's relics? Wanwan's eyes lit up slightly, and she thought to herself: So the Holy Emperor's relics are in Yang Gong's treasury?

The relics of the Evil Emperor were originally burial objects that Xie Bo, the first Evil Emperor of Tianxie Dao, accidentally discovered in an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period while he was looking for a set of silk books about medicine.

When Xie Bo discovered the evil emperor's relics, they were placed under the neck of the tomb owner. They were covered with blood spots and crystal-like mottled. Because of its crystalline and translucent characteristics, it was classified as citrine. In fact, it is very different from any other citrine stone.

What interested Xie Bo the most was that this yellow crystal ball seemed to contain some kind of strange power. After long-term experiments by Xie Bo, he made an astonishing discovery that the yellow crystal ball had the strange property of absorbing and storing human true essence and vitality.

Taoism has the so-called Three Elements. In the sky, they are the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars; on earth, they are the three essential elements of water, fire, and earth; and in humans, they are the three elements of essence, qi, and spirit. Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness is the entire process of Taoist cultivation. Of the Three Elements, primordial essence, primordial qi, and primordial spirit, primordial essence is the root of all things. Primordial qi and primordial spirit are obtained through the cultivation and elevation of primordial essence. While primordial qi and primordial spirit vary depending on each practitioner's circumstances and methods, primordial essence remains the same.

This discovery made Xie Bo ecstatic. After years of research, he finally created a method to inject essence into the yellow crystal ball. However, at that time, his death was not far away, so before his death, he injected all his essence into the ball and asked the next generation to find a way to extract the essence from the ball.

From then on, the yellow crystal ball was named the Holy Emperor's Relic by the people of the Demon Sect, while the people of the righteous path called it the Evil Emperor's Relic.

This also posed a major headache for the Tianxie Sect, one of the six sects within the Demonic Sect. Someone as erudite, knowledgeable, and intelligent as Xie Bo was rare. Although successive successors had diligently devised various methods to channel the Yuan Jing, they were often left with little benefit. Furthermore, due to inadequate methods, the Evil Emperor's relic continuously absorbed various forms of Yuan Qi, both harmful and harmless, further complicating the problem and making it even more difficult to resolve.

However, all the evil emperors in the past, as long as they did not die suddenly, would inject their essence into the relics according to their will before their death. This has also become the way of death chosen by the successive leaders of the Tianxie Dao.

Because of these changes, researching how to extract the relic's essence became a highly dangerous endeavor, posing a serious risk of becoming possessed. During this time, some individuals were able to extract the beneficial vital energy within the relic, multiplying their power. This in turn led to a surge in interest among the six sects of the Demonic Sect, hoping to obtain the relic and absorb its essence and vital energy to significantly increase their power.

It's just that the Evil Emperor's relic disappeared at some point, and no one knows where it is. But Wanwan now knows from Chen Liu's inner voice that the Evil Emperor's relic is in Yang Gong's treasury. Although she doesn't know where Yang Gong's treasury is now, at least she knows its whereabouts, right?

Chapter 237 Long Yuan?

[The Blood Bodhi in Lingyun Cave in the Chaotic Land of the Western Regions should also work, but it's guarded by a Fire Kirin, so it's a bit difficult to get.]

Fire Qilin? Qin Mengyao, who had already returned to Chen Liu, was slightly moved. Is there really a Fire Qilin in this world?

The world of Zongwu offers numerous rare treasures for enhancing one's cultivation, but the most accessible one Chen Liu could think of was the Evil Emperor's Relic. He recalled how Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling entered Yang Gong's treasury in the film "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty." As for the claim that the treasury required the Qi of the "Eternal Life Secret," and therefore could only be opened by those two scoundrels, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Chen Liu scoffed.

Ever since Guangchengzi shattered the void, until Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two small-time thugs, accidentally learned the "Eternal Life Secret," no one else had been able to master it. The "Yang Gong Treasure House" was built by Lu Miaozi for Yang Xuangan. Neither Lu Miaozi nor Yang Xuangan possessed the immortality qi, so how did they create a mechanism that could only be opened with the immortality qi?

[Murong Bo is also in Daming now, so this trip to Daming will have to come to a temporary halt.]

Previously, Chen Liu had considered going to Guangmingding, the summit of Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty, to take Xiao Zhao away. But now, Chen Liu no longer had any desire for this. How could Xiao Zhao's life be more important? As for the Great Shift of the Universe and the Nine Yang Divine Art, even if he obtained them, they would not significantly improve Chen Liu's combat power.

Chen Liu glanced at Wang Yuyan and thought to himself, "Perhaps I could go to the Sui Dynasty and take the Secret of Immortality. Then, I could go to Yang Gong's treasury and take the Evil Emperor's relic. I could let Yuyan absorb the essence within. This might allow her to break through to Grandmaster level."

Wanwan: ...

Wanwan was very angry and thought to herself: That is the holy relic of my Holy Sect.

Wang Yuyan was delighted when she heard this. It turned out that her husband loved her the most and always thought of her first when it came to any benefits.

If Yuyan can break through to Grandmaster, not only will it guarantee my safety, but I might even have a chance to seize the Blood Bodhi in Lingyun Cave.

Chen Liu pondered carefully and said, "I estimate that Nie Renwang in Fengyun is definitely not at the Heavenly Man Realm, and is likely a Grandmaster. Although Nie Renwang was captured by the Fire Qilin and taken to the Lingyun Cave, he was able to survive the battle with the Fire Qilin in the Lingyun Cave, which shows that the Fire Qilin's strength is only at the Grandmaster level. This is arguably the weakest auspicious beast I have ever seen."

If Yuyan can hold back the Fire Qilin, I can take the opportunity to pick the Blood Bodhi.

Wang Yuyan: ...

It turns out that my husband wanted me to hold back the Fire Qilin!

[As long as I pick the Blood Bodhi, I will be able to quickly improve my cultivation. Once I reach Grandmaster level, apart from those immortal celestial beings, there should be few who can threaten me for a while.]

Hearing Chen Liu's plan, Wang Yuyan thought to herself: It seems that it is not impossible.

"If I were to talk about the most precious natural treasures in the world, I'd guess it's Dragon Essence. One Dragon Essence can be divided into at least seven parts, and one Dragon Essence part grants immortality. Xiao Sanxiao drank the blood of a dragon turtle and lived for four or five thousand years, and Emperor Shitian drank the blood of a phoenix and lived for over two thousand years. And the Shenlong is the chief of the four auspicious beasts in Fengyun. If we could retrieve the Dragon Essence, it should be possible to live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, right?"

Could they live for thousands or tens of thousands of years? Wang Yuyan and Lianxing exchanged a quiet glance, their eyes filled with surprise. Regardless of whether they were cultivating immortality or not, they had to retrieve this Dragon Essence. If they could live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, wouldn't that make them like immortals?

However, the Dragon Essence can only be divided into seven portions, so we need to carefully consider who will take it. My husband will definitely have one portion, and Wang Yuyan will definitely have one as well, leaving five portions. With so many people here, there will definitely not be enough to go around, and Chen Liu still has so many other women in the Song Dynasty.

Shi Feixuan, Qin Mengyao, and Wanwan couldn't help but flicker their eyes. Cultivating immortals was still an illusory thing, but if they could obtain the Dragon Essence...

Shi Feixuan couldn't help but feel moved. If Shi Feixuan had been hesitant about whether to give the Heshi Bi to Chen Liu before, then after hearing about the effect of the Dragon Yuan, she began to lean towards helping Chen Liu.

However, in the original novel, Emperor Shi Tian gathered seven divine weapons and seven masters to finally slay the dragon. Killing a dragon isn't that easy. I imagine that in this world of martial arts, the dragon must have at least the strength of a terrestrial immortal. To slay a dragon, the participants must be at least at the level of a celestial being.

Although slaying the dragon was difficult, requiring at least seven Heavenly Realm masters, this did not dampen the excitement of Wang Yuyan, Lianxing, Shi Feixuan, and Qin Mengyao. After returning to the Chen Mansion, they had Shui Sheng take Chen Liu away, and Wang Yuyan and Lianxing and the other women began to plan.
