However, at this critical moment, Saint Lady Jiu Tian went in the opposite direction and set up a formation to temporarily seal the void.

At the moment when the formation took shape.

Li Jingchu finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from.

But unfortunately, even if Li Jingchu activated the witchcraft that he brought out from Twelve Caves, the poisonous insect that was supposed to control the Saint Lady of Nine Heavens did not move at all.

"You guys betrayed me?"

"Your Highness, Prince Zhao is destined by heaven, so please surrender."

"...".

Chapter 742 Wang Baobao’s Hiding Place

Jiu Tian Sheng Ji, as early as when Yang Zhao returned from Sichuan and Shu, had already surrendered to him during an assassination attempt on the way and became Yang Zhao's secret spy in the Li family.

Unfortunately, Jiu Tian Sheng Ji herself belongs to Huan Yin Fang and can only be regarded as a peripheral force of the Li family. She cannot participate in the real core secrets of the Li family.

Otherwise, the alliance between the Li family and various forces could not be concealed from Yang Zhao.

But even so.

At certain critical moments, the role that the Nine Heavens Holy Lady can play is still very important.

For example, when Li Maozhen and Li Jingchu escaped quietly, they thought their actions were covert, but in fact, their whereabouts were always under Yang Zhao's control.

Especially after realizing that Li Maozhen, Li Jingchu and their group were moving towards the Hetao area.

Yang Zhao then handed over the handling of Li Maozhen, Li Jingchu and their group to Li Xiuning and the women's army.

At this time, Yang Zhao had to be involved in the affairs of Bingzhou.

The Li clan and the Turks combined had an army of one million. Even though they suffered heavy losses in the war, and even a large number of elite troops were withdrawn by the Li clan, the number of prisoners and wounded soldiers left behind still exceeded 400,000.

If we add in the defeated soldiers who scattered among the people, the number would even exceed 600,000, or even more.

After taking Bingzhou, Yang Zhao obtained the endless food and fodder stored by the Li clan in Bingzhou, and the food crisis in Guanlong was greatly alleviated.

With this amount of food, Yang Zhao did not execute the captives and defeated soldiers.

Besides.

Yang Zhao led the Great Sun Patrol Guard to disrupt the Li clan's rear and killed many Bingzhou nobles and officials.

Local governance, restoration of people's livelihood, stability of people's hearts, etc., these also require Yang Zhao to formulate plans.

Fortunately, after taking over the Hetao area and the Hedong defense line.

The sphere of influence that originally belonged to Yang Zhao has greatly expanded, and both its strategic depth and population fortune have been greatly enhanced.

In addition, almost 90% of the Sui Dynasty's participation in national destiny fell on Yang Zhao.

This also caused the power of the national fortune halo to increase wildly.

For the officials under Yang Zhao, this sudden increase in the power of the national fortune aura is the most gratifying reward.

Yang Zhao didn't even need to say too much, his subordinates seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and their work enthusiasm soared.

In the Guanlong area, there were people who cooperated with him, including Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others.

In Bingzhou, there were also Xie Xuan and Yang Su to assist.

The chaos in Bingzhou did not last long and was soon completely quelled.

Once the Guanlong system spreads and some hidden dangers within Bingzhou are cleared up, the entire Bingzhou will soon be able to truly become a part of Yang Zhao's territory.

Almost a month's time.

After a large number of new generation officials from Guanlong moved into Bingzhou, Yang Zhao quickly handed over all the responsibilities of Bingzhou to Xie Xuan and Yang Su.

Under the guidance of Ghost Shadow Ancestor, Yang Zhao quietly arrived at a very ordinary, even simple village in the Taihang Mountains on the east side of Bingzhou.

On the surface, this is just one of the countless bandit camps in Taihang Mountains.

At most, they just absorbed some defeated soldiers from the Li clan during the previous defeat of the Li clan and the Turkic army.

Even Yang Zhao didn't expect that Wang Baobao could hide in such a place for a whole month.

Compared with Li Maozhen, Li Jingchu and others, Wang Baobao is smarter, low-key and more tolerant.

At that time, the Li clan and the Turkic army fought each other.

Almost immediately, Wang Baobao used the method of escaping from the shell to leave behind a disfigured corpse and the prince's golden sword. He then disguised himself as a defeated soldier and wandered around Bingzhou with the team. Then, he quietly integrated into this mountain stronghold in Taihang Mountains.

For more than a month, Wang Baobao behaved like a real deserter and bandit.

If Yang Zhao had not specially dispatched the Ghost Shadow Ancestor to keep a close eye on the other party, with the other party's ability to endure and hide, he might have been able to avoid Yang Zhao's blockade of the entire Bingzhou, and then one day, quietly leave the mountain stronghold and completely escape from Bingzhou.

In a void dimension filled with shadows.

Yang Zhao and Ghost Shadow Old Ancestor were like walking in a mirror world attached to the real world, and could clearly see every move of Wang Baobao.

This is a unique secret technique of shadow void that the Ghost Shadow Ancestor explored based on his own talent and combined with the method of opening up the acupoint world.

In this regard, even Yang Zhao cannot compare to the Ghost Shadow Ancestor.

A powerful warrior who was at the ninth level of the Martial Saint ceiling personally performed the operations and kept watch, so even the powerful warrior at the peak of the Martial Saint ceiling who was following Wang Baobao could not detect the slightest abnormality.

Yang Zhao just watched Wang Baobao like a real bandit, drinking, gambling, picking his feet, picking his nose, and shouting with the bandits in the village.

For quite a while.

Yang Zhao looked strange and asked, "Ah Gui, has Wang Baobao always been like this?"

The Ghost Shadow Patriarch's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's like this in the mountain village."

Yang Zhao felt annoyed and said, "I have to say, Wang Baobao is really a talented person. Even if he was caught in this state, it is totally unbelievable that the other party is the Prince of Ruyang."

Ghost Shadow Ancestor: “…”

The Ghost Shadow Patriarch did not tell Yang Zhao that Wang Baobao had actually been intercepted by at least a dozen waves of people on his way to the Taihang Mountain Stronghold.

Wang Baobao didn't even do the most basic disguise, he just got a little dirty, but his posture and temperament completely fooled all those who tried to intercept him.

Bandits, refugees, beggars, Wang Baobao can dress up like any of them, and he looks just as lifelike as they come.

If it weren't for the fact that Ghost Shadow Ancestor was monitoring Wang Baobao almost all the time, he might have missed it even when Ghost Shadow Ancestor was in person.

I watched Wang Baobao performing in the mountain village for a while.

Yang Zhao soon lost interest and said, "Ah Gui, are you sure that Wang Baobao has contacted Zhao Min who is hiding in the dark?"

The Ghost Shadow Ancestor nodded and said, "Your Highness, I am completely sure of this."

"This person has a secret technique for taming beasts. In recent days, he has been going to the dead woods behind the village every day, using birds and beasts as messengers to pass on information."

"I once used a secret technique to closely observe what Wang Baobao wrote..."

Chapter 743 The Transaction between the Yuan Dynasty and the Wang Clan of Langya

Wang Baobao himself actually has the cultivation level of a Martial Saint. Although his cultivation level is achieved with the help of the resources of the Yuan Dynasty and by taking shortcuts, and is somewhat superficial, his martial arts will and realm cannot be faked.

If it were someone else, it would be almost impossible to monitor a Martial Saint from a close distance.

That is the Ghost Shadow Ancestor, who has extremely special talents and has trained himself to become a being similar to a divine god. He was able to achieve this by relying on the Shadow Void Secret Art.

In the shadow void dimension.

Yang Zhao and the Ghost Shadow Patriarch sat quietly for most of the day, waiting for their prey to come.

Starry night, early morning.

Wang Baobao, who had been monitored by Yang Zhao and the Ghost Shadow Ancestor for a whole day, left the room quietly like a civet cat after everyone in the village fell asleep. He displayed extremely superb light-body skills and quickly came to the dead woods behind the village.

Not long.

After Wang Baobao arrived at the dead woods, accompanied by an extremely hidden wave of void breath, three figures appeared silently in the depths of the dead woods, as if they walked out of a completely transparent water curtain, without emitting a trace of breath, and also appeared in the dead woods.

"Brother!"

"Minmin!"

The leader who walked out of the void was dressed in luxurious robes, dressed like a man, with red lips and white teeth. He was none other than Zhao Min, who had quietly fled from the Central Plains to the edge of Bingzhou.

Behind Zhao Min, there were two figures that were exceptionally powerful. Even though they were standing on one side without saying a word, the aura they emitted unconsciously was like a raging storm, impacting every inch of the void around them, as if even the heaven and earth could not accommodate their existence.

Wang Baobao and Zhao Min, brother and sister, met each other for a long time.

But soon, Zhao Min stretched out her hand and waved, turning her gaze to a rather elegant figure behind her, and said, "Brother, let me introduce you, this is Wang Yan, the ancestor of the Wang family of Langya, and the cousin of the former calligrapher Wang Xizhi."

Wang Baobao behaved very politely in front of such a person, and bowed and said, "Kuokuo Timur, I meet Grandpa Wang Yan. This trip to Bingzhou was a great defeat, and Yang Zhao of the Sui court is as powerful as a rainbow. We have no choice but to trouble Grandpa to stop them."

The old man was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves which was worn hundreds of years ago. He held a goose feather fan in his hand, wore a tall crown on his head, and wore a beautiful jade on his waist. Although he looked very kind on the surface, there was a hint of arrogance hidden deep in his eyes.

Regarding Wang Baobao’s salute.

The old man accepted it with pleasure, and then said, "You are polite, Prince Ruyang. The fate of the Sui court has come to an end. Although the boy Yang Zhao has some talent for a while, he is against my family. In this land, he will eventually perish."

Looking at the old man's contemptuous attitude.

Wang Baobao showed a hint of admonition on his face, and said: "The ancestor is very powerful, and the Wang family of Langya has a deep heritage. However, there are also many talented people under the command of King Zhao of Sui Ting..."

The old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay! Prince Ruyang doesn't have to worry. Hold my jade seal and go to Bingzhou. You can seek help from three hundred noble families and eight hundred noble clans. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can lead them to the Taihang Mountains. The mountain strongholds here are as many as Zhoutian. It is a natural formation that my Langya Wang family has transformed over hundreds of years. There are also formation flags that connect to the Taihang earth veins. Even the strongest people in the world can't escape death if they enter here."

Facing Wang Baobao's admonition.

The old ancestor Wang Yan chuckled, took off the beautiful jade from his waist and threw it directly to the other party, shaking the feather fan in his hand, with a feeling of being unfathomable.

Upon hearing the words of Patriarch Wang Yan, the aura of the other figure who followed also fluctuated for a moment.

Patriarch Wang Yan suddenly turned his head and said, "Master, don't panic. You and I are allies. This formation will not be used against you. As long as the Great Yuan Dynasty remembers the agreement between you and me, you and I will never be enemies, right?"

Named by the ancestor Wang Yan.

Under the moonlight, the originally distorted moonlight on the other figure's body quickly calmed down, revealing a bronze and vigorous face.

This man was tall, with curly hair, and was wearing an elegant robe with a religious touch. His eyes were as deep as ink, and seemed to be able to swallow up all the brilliance of time.

And in the moment when this person showed up, a faint aura seemed to cover the entire void and drag the entire dead forest into an illusory world.

The overwhelming spiritual power seemed to have condensed into a substantial ocean.

However, in response to this person's test, Patriarch Wang Yan simply waved his feather fan in an extremely free and easy manner. There was an aura that was both Confucian and Taoist, which merged into the void and turned into flowing light patterns.

The flowing light patterns flashed in an instant and spread like a spider web.

In an instant, the dead forest that was almost dragged into the virtual world was quickly stabilized.

The test between the two sides lasted only a moment.

The figure behind Zhao Min quickly restrained his mental power, and his eyes revealed a wisdom as deep as the ocean. He nodded gently to the ancestor Wang Yan.

"It is said that the Wang family of Langya once took advantage of the imperial power in the Wei and Jin Dynasties to develop the practice of Xuan Dao, and gathered the martial arts luck of this state for 800 years. Seeing it today, it is really extraordinary."

"Brother Wang Yan, rest assured. The heart of Genghis Khan is as broad as the blue sky above the grasslands. It can accommodate the sun, moon, and stars, and it can also accommodate the existence of the Wang Clan of Langya."

The person who spoke was the magician Meng Chixing who followed Zhao Min into the Central Plains.

As a Great Yuan Magician, Meng Chixing is almost the most outstanding existence in the Great Yuan Magic Sect. Whether it is martial arts cultivation, spiritual wisdom, or mental realm, he is the top existence.

Patriarch Wang Yan waved the feather fan in his hand, smiling, and said, "That's great. I still believe in what the magic master said. Please rest assured, the Wang family of Langya is only interested in the martial arts luck in this state. All the wealth, population, and resources belong to the Great Yuan."

Quietly.

The magician Meng Chixing and the old ancestor Wang Yan reached a deal on behalf of the Yuan Dynasty and the Wang family of Langya.

In a sense, both Zhao Min and Wang Baobao are just puppets.

And just when Meng Chixing and Wang Yan reached a deal.

In the shadow void dimension, Yang Zhao, who had originally been calm and unperturbed, couldn't help but feel a little agitated at this moment.

"Who is hiding here, spying on us?"

"come out……".
