Chapter 187 Explosion Wu Chengjie
Chapter 187 Explosion Wu Chengjie
Xu Dejing had just breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the atmosphere in Wudu City suddenly became strange, with an indescribable sense of oppression. There were many more guards on the streets and alleys checking passers-by.
Xu Dejing tried to ask for details, but no one was willing to reveal anything. Everyone who was asked kept silent and seemed mysterious.
If Xu Qian's marriage had not been settled, he would have fled Wudu long ago and would not have wanted to stay for a moment.
Three days later, he learned from Qu Tongtian some of the reasons why the atmosphere in Wudu City was so eerie.
It turned out that three days ago, Wu Chengjie, the eldest son of the Grand Prince's company, woke up in the morning and found himself inexplicably missing. The concubine who slept with him knew nothing about it. She only left an envelope with the words "Dear Grandson of the Grand Prince Wu Huaizu" written on it.
Wu Chengjie's concubine quickly handed the letter to the eldest prince. After reading the letter, the eldest prince was shocked and the letter broke into pieces. He left quietly without telling anyone and never returned since then.
Considering that the king's eldest son and eldest grandson have mysteriously disappeared, it is strange that Wudu is no longer peaceful.
After the matter was reported to the king, the king ordered the commander of the royal guards, Tu Wangsheng, to conduct a thorough investigation. Tu Wangsheng was concerned about the reputation of the royal family and did not dare to act openly. He adopted a low-key and tense strategy and was searching the whole city for clues. Even many places outside the city had been searched by the guards, but still no trace was found.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Dejing immediately lost his composure. He first suspected that this might have been planned by Xia Zhongnan.
It may be unbelievable to others, but he knows Xia Zhongnan's courage and skills, and he is indeed capable of doing such a thing...
Qu Tongtian saw the change in the other person's expression and asked, "Master Xu, do you have doubts in your heart?"
Xu Dejing suddenly realized it, but he was always quick-witted and responded: "Master Qu, do you think it was those two princes who did it? Otherwise, who would have the courage to harm my eldest brother in Wudu?"
Qu Tongtian understood and replied, "We have already verified the whereabouts of the two princes. There are witnesses and evidence to prove it. We could not take action against my eldest brother and Crown Prince Chengjie during that period."
Xu Dejing asked: "For something like this, wouldn't they use the help of..."
Qu Tongtian immediately stopped him: "Master Xu, please be careful with your words. We cannot make assumptions without any evidence!"
After a conversation, Xu Dejing left in a state of uneasiness.
After Xu Dejing walked away, two figures appeared beside Qu Tongtian, Prince An Xie Shuyi and the commander of the imperial guards Tu Wangsheng.
Xie Shuyi asked: "Did Master Qu see any clues?"
Qu Tongtian replied: "I can sense that Xu Dejing's shock when he heard this was not fake, so he probably knows nothing about it either."
Tu Wangsheng interrupted: "I saw that Lord Qu and he got along very well. What did they talk about?"
Qu Tongtian glanced at him and said, "It was just a casual chat. He also suspected that the Second and Fourth Princes were behind this. This was not beyond my expectation."
Four days ago, at the secret base of Wentian Palace in Wudu, Tu Shanfanger returned from outside and found Xia Zhongnan and said, "Bai Ze sent a message that everything is ready. I want to ask you when to act."
Xia Zhongnan responded: "There is no time to lose. Tell Gu Xiuzhang to prepare to evacuate tonight!"
Tu Shan Fang'er asked: "Does everyone need to evacuate?"
Xia Zhongnan affirmed: "That's right, evacuate everyone. Wudu is about to fall into crisis. Staying will only increase the risk. Leave the follow-up matters to us."
Tu Shanfang'er nodded and began to notify people to evacuate.
During this period, Xia Zhongnan once again experienced the feeling and state when he was performing missions in the special forces.
Under his command, members of the Wentian Palace secretly collected intelligence on the royal family and key figures in Wudu City, and a large amount of information was summarized in his hands every day.
All members of the Dark Hall have been trained by him, and will not easily arouse the court's vigilance when collecting intelligence.
Under the command of Bai Ze, the members of the Formation Hall set up a huge formation in Qiyun Mountain.
In addition to studying intelligence every day, Xia Zhongnan would also conduct field investigations, personally walking through every street and alley in Wudu, knowing every royal residence like the back of his hand, and then he would walk around outside the city to get a clear understanding of the terrain and topography outside the city.
The Wu Kingdom's royal family is very powerful, and Xia Zhongnan is unwilling to provoke them unless necessary.
But since they have touched Xu Qian, Xia Zhongnan can only regard them as enemies and prepare to fight them to the death.
For Xia Zhongnan, he would not take their dignity for granted just because they were members of the Wu Kingdom royal family. They were just a regime established by relying on powerful force.
As night fell, he and Tu Shan Fang'er arrived outside the residence of their eldest brother...
Leaving Tu Shan Fang'er to watch at the edge of the woods, Xia Zhongnan broke into the mysterious Huangting Palace alone. This palace was not only heavily guarded, but also surrounded by countless strange protective talismans.
To Xia Zhongnan, who had just escaped from the Immortal Palace ruins and had undergone three months of training, the formation here was like a children's toy. He quietly avoided all the guards and sneaked into Wu Chengjie's residence.
The majestic Kunlun fantasy in his heart trembled slightly, and Wu Chengjie and the concubine beside him fell into a dream. Xia Zhongnan gently pulled Wu Chengjie out of the bed, left a letter that had been prepared on the table, and then took him away into the night.
Not only did these formations fail to stop Xia Zhongnan, but they became his secret tools to avoid surveillance. He moved freely in the Huangting Palace like a phantom.
When Wu Chengjie "woke up", he found himself in a deep valley between high mountains, surrounded by mountains. Not far away, a man and a woman were talking in low voices. The man was Xia Zhongnan and the woman was Tu Shan Fang'er.
Wu Chengjie exclaimed: "Where is this? Who are you?"
Xia Zhongnan glanced at him and said calmly, "Prince Chengjie, don't panic. I believe your father, His Majesty the King Huangting, will be here soon. It would not be good if he saw you covered in wounds!"
Wu Chengjie asked in panic, "You arrested me to lure my father here?"
Xia Zhongnan replied: "It seems that the prince is quick-witted and has guessed something."
Wu Chengjie asked: "Who are you? Why are you targeting my father?"
Xia Zhongnan noticed the strange omen on the top of the mountain and said with a smile: "Your father has arrived, we will talk later!"
I saw a figure rushing towards me from Wudu City, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Xia Zhongnan and Tu Shan Fang'er did not hide their whereabouts, and Huangting King Wu Huaizu spotted them and Wu Chengjie on the ground at a glance.
He slowly descended, and first used his spiritual sense to detect Wu Chengjie. Seeing that he was restrained by a ban and had not suffered any substantial damage, he turned to Xia Zhongnan and Tu Shanfang'er and said, "Who are you? How dare you kidnap Jie'er and lure me here? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Xia Zhongnan said: "I heard that His Majesty King Huangting is extremely powerful among the Void Cultivators, so I came here to seek advice!"
After he finished speaking, a black iron spear appeared in his hand, pointing directly at King Huangting: "May I ask if King Huangting is willing to teach me?"
King Huang Ting waved his hand, and a "Heaven-Breaking Halberd" appeared out of thin air. He roared and swung the halberd straight towards Xia Zhongnan.
Xia Zhongnan also roared and fought back like a "fearless warrior".
With a loud "bang", the spears and halberds collided, the black iron spear broke under the heavy weight, and Xia Zhongnan was also blown away.
King Huang Ting was surprised: "He is actually a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage!"
Then he praised: "Great skill, you can fight against my 'Sky Breaking Halberd' head-on without dying!"
Although he praised him verbally, he was merciless with his hands. He pursued him and wanted to pierce Xia Zhongnan's heart in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Xia Zhongnan was exhausted, Tu Shanfang'er suddenly appeared with two short blades in her hands and rushed straight towards King Huangting...
In this duel, the power contained in Da Huangzi's "Heaven-breaking Halberd" was astonishing. With just one collision, Tu Shan Fang'er's spiritual blade was almost thrown out of her hand.
Tu Shan Fang'er was good at close combat, but strength was not her strong point, so she immediately moved like a spirit, dancing with both blades, and launched a violent attack, intending to make up for the lack of strength with speed.
However, although Da Huangzi's advantage lies in his bold offensive, facing Tu Shan Fang'er's close combat, his "Heaven-breaking Halberd" flexibly shuttles around and his defense is impeccable. Every time the spiritual blade hits the halberd, it will cause a strong recoil, causing Tu Shan Fang'er's attacks to be frequently interrupted and unable to exert her full strength.
This was the first time that Tu Shan Fang Er had fought against a human Void Realm cultivator after she was promoted to the third level. She had fought against this type of cultivator before when she was in the second level. She thought that she would have an absolute advantage after being promoted to the third level, but now she was at a disadvantage.
Even though they are both humans at the same level of the Void Realm, the difference in strength is so huge.
Wu Chengjie saw his father break Xia Zhongnan's spear with one move and easily block Tu Shanfang'er's attack. He shouted excitedly: "Father, don't kill this girl. Leave her to me as a concubine!"
He still had lustful intentions and was attracted by Tu Shan Fang'er's beauty, and couldn't help wanting to take her as his concubine.
Xia Zhongnan was watching the battle intently, watching the contest between Tu Shan Fang Er and Da Huang Zi. It had been a while since he came out of the Immortal Palace ruins, and he had been practicing with the best Yuan Stones, which greatly improved his cultivation. However, he did not expect to be defeated so quickly in the battle with Da Huang Zi, which gave him a deeper understanding of the power levels in the cultivation world.
In the Spiritualization Realm, he rarely encountered an opponent, and could confront the Void Realm cultivators head-on. Similarly, there were also extremely powerful beings among other cultivators. For example, the big yellow in front of him, even ordinary Void Realm cultivators were not his opponents in one blow.
On the top of the mountain, Bai Ze sent a signal to Xia Zhongnan, asking whether to activate the formation. The Qinglong, Qilin, Qiongqi, Huang Cheng and other strange beasts around him were ready to try. They had all been promoted to the third level, and faced with the powerful fighting power of Da Huangzi, they could not help but want to try their skills in person.
Xia Zhongnan did not respond to their request. He also had a secret technique that he wanted to test, so how could he let these strange beasts get ahead of him?
After a while, Tu Shan Fang'er gradually fell into a passive position. Da Huangzi's "Heaven-breaking Halberd" gradually pushed her back. Once she lost her melee advantage, how could she withstand Da Huangzi's powerful attack?
Xia Zhongnan was well aware of Tu Shan Fang'er's current combat capability. He no longer hesitated. The "Kunlun Mountain" in his mind was driven by his thoughts and flew rapidly towards Da Huangzi's sea of consciousness.
This was the first time Xia Zhongnan had used this move in actual combat after developing it, and he was also eager to verify its power.
Da Huangzi only felt an inexplicable pressure sweeping over him, followed by a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness. His whole head was buzzing and the "Heaven-Breaking Halberd" in his hand almost slipped out of his hand. He just wanted to hold his head and cry.
Xia Zhongnan couldn't help but frown...
