Chapter 118 Zhou Haochen: Mr. He’s old lover is dead?
The Sixth Prince's Mansion was bustling with cheers and toasts.
Even the servants in the palace had smiles on their faces and walked with brisk steps.
Tonight is the dinner that the Sixth Prince is hosting for a group of masters from the Shenxiao Sect. The arrival of the masters from the Shenxiao Sect in Yujing City has undoubtedly boosted the morale of the people from the Sixth Prince's faction!
"Senior Sister Zhong, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Liu, I'd like to offer a toast to you all!" The Sixth Prince's face was filled with smiles as he offered a glass of wine to the three disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.
The three people who were toasted by the Sixth Prince were the leading figures of the younger generation of the Shenxiao Sect besides the Holy Son.
The Holy Son of Shenxiao Sect who possesses the Five Thunder Holy Body is the undisputed number one among the younger generation.
No one in the Shenxiao sect can challenge the other party's position.
Below the Son of God, the most outstanding are the three in front of us.
Senior Sister Zhong Lingyu from the Shenxiao lineage, Senior Brother Lin Xiaolin from the Taiyi lineage, and Senior Brother Liu Qingyang from the Wulei lineage.
Among these three people, Lin Xiao and he are from the same Taiyi lineage, so naturally their relationship is the closest.
Liu Qingyang from the Five Thunders lineage did not get along well with him because of the strained relationship between the Five Thunders lineage and the Taiyi lineage.
The Sixth Prince didn't care much about this.
If you can win him over, that's the best. If not, find an opportunity to make him a pawn crossing the river and charge into battle!
However, Senior Sister Zhong Lingyu from the Shenxiao lineage treated people with a warm and gentle manner, which made him feel very comfortable.
The Sixth Prince was quite moved by Zhong Lingyu's beauty that could overshadow the moon and flowers.
The position of his principal wife is still vacant and there is no candidate yet. If Zhong Lingyu can become his principal wife, it will be a combination of the Taiyi lineage and the Shenxiao lineage.
In this way, his status in the Shenxiao Sect can be further improved.
The Shenxiao Sect's investment in him could also increase several times out of thin air, which was equivalent to completely tying the Shenxiao Sect to him.
Zhong Lingyu didn't know that after just one dinner, the Sixth Prince had already taken advantage of her.
……
In the next few days, people from various holy places arrived one after another, and for a while, the entire Yujing City was in turmoil.
In the past, disciples from the holy land were rarely seen, but now they appeared in Yujing City in groups, and they were always ready to compete with each other. They have become a beautiful landscape in Yujing City.
Fortunately, these disciples of the holy land acted with moderation and did not cause too many casualties.
But even so, the officials from the Evil Suppression Bureau and the Ministry of Justice had to work overtime all night, and they didn't even have time to enjoy their beautiful bride.
In Yujing City, apart from the confrontations among disciples from various holy places, the most popular area was the Beidou Secret Realm.
Ever since Yaoguang Tower was breached, Kaiyang Tower has become the focus of everyone's attention.
In Kaiyang Tower, there is a vast expanse of ice and a northern landscape.
The higher you go, the lower the temperature becomes. Even martial arts masters cannot endure such extremely low temperatures.
The test of thousands of miles of ice is more beneficial for Taoist practitioners.
To be precise, it is most beneficial to Taoist practitioners who are proficient in fire and ice magic.
Fire monks are flexible in their control and can withstand severe cold, while ice monks are born to dance with ice, and severe cold is part of their training.
In addition, various magic weapons for keeping warm were very popular, allowing Zhou Haochen to make a small profit.
But even so, Kaiyang Tower was still not breached.
The one with the fastest progress is the Five Elements Sect, one of the seven Taoist sects.
A genius from the Five Elements Sect reached the eighth level in one breath, but had to stop because of his shallow cultivation.
It is rumored that if this genius is promoted to the seventh realm, the Kaiyang Tower will be no problem for him.
The Five Elements Sect became very popular, and the Second Prince was also in high spirits.
Because the second prince’s biggest supporter is the Five Elements Sect.
The Five Elements Sect excels in Five Elements magic, and the Second Prince's Five Elements spirit is a Five Elements magic prodigy that only appears once in a hundred years. Naturally, they are like a turtle and a mung bean, and they are attracted to each other.
Three days flew by in a snap.
It was the time Zhou Haochen and Yi Si had agreed upon.
Three quarters past midnight, in the secret realm of Beidou, a remote cave.
Zhou Haochen, wearing Jiachen's black robe, arrived on time and met Yi Si who had just arrived.
"Otsumi, you're just in time!"
"Each each other!"
"Tell me, how should we cooperate?" Yi Mi asked.
"Haha, there is a lack of trust between us. Otherwise, how about exchanging the information we got from searching Bingwu and Kuiniu's minds?"
Zhou Haochen said that neither of them asked to see each other’s true faces.
Obviously, neither side wants to show their true colors.
After thinking for a while, Yi Mi nodded.
"I swear by my heart!"
"Can!"
After the two swore an oath with their Dao heart, they developed a preliminary trust in each other and began to exchange information.
"You speak first!" Yi Si said.
Zhou Haochen didn't bother with Yi Si, took a step back and said.
"Binghuo's real name is Cao Gui. He was a servant of Li Changhe, the commander of the Secret Realm Division. Later, he learned martial arts from the man in black, and then added Xuanyuan blood."
"I suspect that Li Changhe is also a member of Xuanyuan Bloodline."
Hearing this, Yi Si's eyes kept flashing, revealing a hint of brilliance.
Seeing that Yi Si was shocked by his information, Zhou Haochen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked.
"Yi Si, take a look at my information, are you sincere?"
"Very sincere!" Yi Si nodded.
"The memories in Kuiniu's mind should be more valuable. How much do you know?" Zhou Haochen asked.
After he revealed the important information, it was now Eul-sa's turn.
Yi Si nodded slightly and said.
"Kui Niu's true identity is not worth mentioning. He was just a beggar in Yujing City. Later, he had a strange encounter. The specific process was similar to Binghuo."
"As for the one who led Kuiniu into Xuanyuan Blood, it was a high-ranking member of Xuanyuan Blood, codenamed Taotie."
"What is Taotie's identity?"
"I don't know!"
"Not clear? Is there no other information?" Zhou Haochen's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
Yi Si lowered his eyes and felt embarrassed.
Jiachen unraveled the mystery through the memory of Binghuo, a small follower, and found out that Li Changhe's identity was suspicious.
On the contrary, even though I have a card like Kuiniu, things are not going smoothly.
Yi Mi took a deep breath and said.
"I have no doubts about Taotie's specific identity." "However, I do know Xuanyuan Xue's plan for Beidou Secret Realm."
"What do you think!"
"During the last operation, Kuiniu led us to suppress the ghosts. Do you know why?"
Zhou Haochen shook his head. He really hadn’t thought deeply about it.
Suppressing ghosts may be for the purpose of cultivation.
For example, his Soul Honoring Banner requires ghosts to increase its power.
Perhaps, there are similar magic weapons among the high-level leaders of Xuanyuanxue.
However, Yi Si's next words surprised Zhou Haochen.
"The purpose of Xuanyuan Blood is to release the ghost of Emperor Jin Wen in the mausoleum."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Haochen's pupils shrank suddenly.
There are indeed ghosts in the mausoleum.
To be precise, it is the ghost king behind the Tianmen.
What is the Ghost King?
The ghosts that can be called ghost kings undoubtedly have the cultivation level of the upper three realms.
Zhou Haochen was not sure about the identity of the Ghost King.
However, after listening to Yi Si's words, Zhou Haochen was basically certain that the ghost king behind the Tianmen was Emperor Wen of Jin himself.
Although one doubt was solved, Zhou Haochen still had more doubts in his mind.
How can Xuanyuan Xue be sure that the ghost king behind Tianmen is Emperor Wen of Jin?
And...how did Emperor Wen of Jin turn into a ghost?
"Emperor Wen of Jin was an emperor, and he was protected by dragon energy. Even if he was buried in a place where yin gathered, he would not be able to turn into a ghost."
"Are you sure the ghost is Emperor Wen of Jin?"
"According to the memory in Kuiniu's mind, it is absolutely true that it is Emperor Wen of Jin."
"This news was told by the leader of Xuanyuanxue, the master mentioned by Kuiniu."
"According to the information found by Chief Xuanyuanxue, Emperor Wen of Jin obtained the legendary reincarnation seal before his death, so he came up with the idea of living again."
"This Beidou Secret Realm is the location chosen by Emperor Wen of Jin to hold the ceremony of rebirth..."
Without waiting for Yi Si to finish his words, Zhou Haochen blurted out subconsciously.
"Then Emperor Wen of Jin's plan was ruined by Emperor Wu of Jin."
"How did you know?"
Yi Si looked at Zhou Haochen in astonishment.
Zhou Haochen rolled his eyes and complained.
“I actually guessed it!”
"The person that Emperor Wen of Jin wanted to live his life again and the one he least wanted to see was undoubtedly Emperor Wen of Jin's crown prince, who later became Emperor Wu of Jin."
"From the historical records, Emperor Wen of Jin did not live again. It must be that the ritual failed."
"There are only two possibilities for the failure of the ritual. One is that there is something wrong with the ritual itself and it is impossible to bring Emperor Wen of Jin back to life."
"As for the second type, it is man-made destruction."
"If I were Emperor Wu of Jin, I would also disrupt Emperor Wen of Jin's ceremony."
After hearing this, Yi Si suddenly realized something, and then his eyes when he looked at Zhou Haochen became strange.
"You understand the mentality of the emperor and the prince so well, you are not a prince."
Seeing Yi Si testing him, Zhou Haochen chuckled.
"You guessed it right!"
"I am the current prince!"
Otsumi: ...
You really think I'm stupid!
Are you the prince?
Why don’t you say you are Emperor Qianyuan?
Taking a deep breath, Yi Mi continued.
"The ritual of Emperor Wen of Jin to live again was destroyed by Emperor Wu of Jin. However, he did not die completely, but turned into a ghost."
"After Emperor Wen of Jin became a ghost, he became extremely powerful and fierce. Even Emperor Wu of Jin could not do anything to him and had to seal him in the mausoleum."
"Then he exiled the Beidou Secret Realm to prevent the ghost transformed by Emperor Wen of Jin from escaping and committing evil."
"The purpose of Xuanyuan Blood is to release the ghost transformed by Emperor Wen of Jin."
"According to Xuanyuan Xue's calculations, the formation that sealed the ghost of Emperor Jin Wen had a total of seventy-two nodes."
"The valley where we were operating three days ago was a node."
"The apparent mission is to suppress the ghosts, but in reality, Kuiniu's mission is to destroy the nodes of the formation."
By destroying seventy-two nodes, the ghost of Emperor Wen of Jin can be released.
This made Zhou Haochen alert.
It seems that we need to speed up the collection of the Seven-Star Soul-Fixing Needles and suppress the ghost of Emperor Wen of Jin as soon as possible.
Perhaps, the Seven-Star Soul-Fixing Needle was left behind by Emperor Wu of Jin, specifically as an insurance against the ghost of Emperor Wen of Jin returning to the human world.
"What is the purpose of Xuanyuan blood?"
"Purely doing evil, releasing the ghost of Emperor Jinwen?"
"This... Kuiniu doesn't have it in his memory, but according to Kuiniu's guess, it might be to obtain the legendary reincarnation seal."
Seal of reincarnation?
Zhou Haochen sneered.
If Xuanyuan Xue's purpose is the Samsara Seal, then they will be disappointed.
After entering the Beidou Secret Realm, the two reincarnation seals in his sea of consciousness did not respond.
Zhou Haochen can be sure that the Seal of Reincarnation is not in the Beidou Secret Realm.
"If everything is fine, I'll leave first." Yi Si said, as if he had something urgent to do.
But he was stopped by Zhou Haochen.
"Yisi, do you know Fairy Bingpo?"
Yi Mi paused when she heard this, as if she was shocked. However, she quickly concealed this unnatural feeling.
"Fairy Bingpo died a long time ago!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhou Haochen could recover from his shock, Yi Si's figure disappeared into the night.
"Mr. He's old lover, is he dead?"
"real or fake!"
