As Qi Gathering Little Perfection martial arts monks, whether it is Xiang Donghua, the second elder of the Chu Palace, or Xue Meng, the commander of the Chu Palace Guards, they all have their own monster mounts.
For example, Xiang Donghua's mount is a seventh-level Qi-gathering demonic beast, the 'Lightning Leopard'. Even without the use of Qi, it can run at full speed several times faster than a sweaty BMW.
Xue Meng's mount is an eighth-level Qi-gathering demonic beast, the 'Sharp-toothed Tiger', which is a bit faster than Xiang Donghua's mount, the Lightning Leopard.
In addition, the distance between Chu Wang City and the lower-level Yunfeng County City was much closer than the distance between Chu Wang City and Yunyang Imperial City, so Xue Meng returned to Chu Wang City first.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as Xue Meng returned to the Chu King's City, he immediately returned to the Chu King's Mansion and reported to Chu Prince Xiang Xiong on the results of his trip. "I have investigated everything clearly... Everything is exactly the same as what Shi Yu, the eldest young master of the Shi family, said."
"That Zhou Donghuang is indeed a native of Yunfeng County. Moreover, he did not grow up in Yunfeng County. He just grew up in a small town."
"I visited that small town and asked many people. They all said that they watched Zhou Donghuang grow up with their own eyes."
"Moreover, that Zhou Donghuang was recognized as a martial arts loser in that small town more than a year ago... He only began to show his martial arts strength at the end of the Ziyun calendar year 1227."
"After that, in just a few months, he became a person who was feared by the governor of Yunfeng County, and even became a celebrity in Yunfeng County!"
"On April 1, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar, he left the county seat of Yunfeng County, a lower-level county, and headed for the royal city."
"A month later, at the Wu family's mansion in Guangling County, a middle-level county, he single-handedly easily defeated four Wu family's sixth-level Qi gathering martial arts monks, shocking the Wu family."
"On September 9, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar, he came to the royal city."
"As for what happens next, Your Majesty, you already knew about it before."
For two whole months, Xue Meng traveled back and forth between Chuwangcheng and Yunfeng County, and almost investigated Zhou Donghuang's details.
After listening to Xue Meng's words, Xiang Xiong was silent for a while.
After a long while, he spoke calmly, "More than a year ago, he was still a useless person in martial arts?"
"Are you pretending?"
Xiang Xiong looked at Xue Meng and asked.
"Probably not."
Xue Meng shook his head.
"should?"
Xiang Xiong frowned.
"My lord, do you think that with that young man's strong character... he would have pretended to be incapable of resisting when he was bullied and humiliated more than a year ago?"
Xue Meng asked back: "In the small town where he was born and raised, there was a kid from a poor family who bullied him for many years... A year and a half ago, he suffered every time because he had no true energy in his body. To be precise, You can’t cultivate your true energy.”
"It wasn't until the end of 1227 that the kid from a poor family wanted to bully him in the street again... That time, he made a strong move and directly disabled one of the arms of the kid from a wealthy family!"
"For this reason, I went to find that son of a wealthy family... He said that it was December 1227 when Zhou Donghuang deposed him, and at the end of November 1227, he even insulted Zhou Donghuang once. Zhou Donghuang The emperor wanted to resist like before, but he had no power to resist. "
"In other words, before December 1227, that Zhou Donghuang should indeed be just a useless person in martial arts."
…
Following Xue Meng's words, both Xue Meng himself and Xiang Xiong, the Prince of Chu who controlled the Western Chu Mountains, realized a very terrible thing:
The young man named 'Zhou Donghuang', if nothing unexpected happened, should have started practicing in early December 1227.
In just ten days and a half, he had the strength to kill a Qi-gathering second-level martial arts monk face to face.
Just three months later, he was able to kill a fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk.
Now, less than two years from the day he started practicing, he seems to have achieved Qi Gathering Small Perfection and even Qi Gathering Dzogchen Perfection levels.
"In less than two years, starting from scratch, you can practice to Qi Gathering Small Perfection, and even Qi Gathering Dzogchen Perfection?"
At this moment, even Xiang Xiong, the number one figure in the Western Chu Wangling Ridge, couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
After a long while, he looked at Xue Meng, took a deep breath, and asked with some difficulty: "Xue Meng, what do you think... what kind of adventure can make a boy who came out of a remote country, in less than two years, become To grow to such an extent? This growth rate is incredible!”
"My lord, don't you have the answer in your heart?"
Xue Meng smiled bitterly, "Except for the chance encounter left by the legendary martial arts master in the Yuan Dan Realm, I really can't think of anything that could make that young man grow to this point in less than two years. "
"The chance encounter left behind by the martial arts master in the realm of Yuan Dan..."
Xiang Xiong's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head with a wry smile, "It's a pity that we didn't discover his 'secret' earlier. If he had grown up, we in the Chu Palace could have eaten him ourselves."
"But now, he has grown too fast and is no longer enough for our Prince Chu's Mansion to bear."
"I just hope that the Yunyang royal family can leave some soup for us after eating him."
Xiang Xiong sighed repeatedly when he talked about it later.
"I don't know...who the Yunyang royal family will send this time."
Xue Meng's eyes flashed with curiosity.
…
Chuxiu Inn.
Courtyard of guest room No. 2.
In the largest master room, on the bed, the young man sat cross-legged, "Since this period of time, my cultivation has progressed quite well... In three months at most, I will almost be able to reach Qi Gathering Perfection."
Two full months have passed since Zhou Donghuang returned from Tianxiu City.
Now, it is already March 19, year 1229 of the Ziyun Calendar.
Leng Hanfeng, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng, Zhou Donghuang did not let them leave for the time being, and let them stay in the second room of Chuxiu Inn to practice by his side.
In the past, he wanted the three of them to develop their power because he did not expect that his own strength would improve so quickly.
With his current strength, it is meaningless for Leng Hanfeng and the others to develop their power in Yunyang. It would be better to stay by his side and concentrate on training.
"Master, Miss Jiapei is here to see you."
Suddenly, Ah Fu's voice came from outside the door, and Zhou Donghuang couldn't help but be startled, "Miss Ren?"
Since the end of 1228 in the Ziyun calendar, he and Ren Jiapei went to the Wei family mansion to attend a gathering of children of wealthy families, and after leaving the Wei family mansion, he had never seen Ren Jiapei again.
Even at the Tang family banquet two months ago, he only saw Ren Qiong, the eldest elder of the Ren family, whom he had met once, and the person who was suspected to be Ren Jiapei's father and the head of the Ren family.
"Ms. Ren... Miss Ren?"
After jumping off the bed and pushing out the door, Zhou Donghuang saw Ren Jiapei again.
With just one glance, Zhou Donghuang almost didn't recognize the girl in front of him.
Now, Ren Jiapei's face was as pale as paper, and he was listless. His whole body seemed to have lost weight, and he no longer had the heroic appearance of the past. He stood there, alone and charming.
"Brother Zhou, can you stop calling me Miss Ren? If you can call sister Zixi 'Zixi', can't you call me 'Jiapei'?"
Hearing the young man's name to her, a sad look flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she smiled forcefully.
"Okay...Jia Pei."
The girl's current appearance made Zhou Donghuang really unable to think of rejecting her, and he had always had a good impression of this girl.
However, the way the girl looked at him now made him discover something.
He suddenly felt:
After more than three months of not seeing the girl, in the final analysis, it was probably because of him.
"First there was Zixi, and now there's Jiapei... It's really a headache."
Now, through the gaze of the girl in front of him that fell on him, it was not difficult for Zhou Donghuang to discover her special feelings for him, because this gaze was the same as when Yang Zixi looked at him.
"Ren Xiao...Jia Pei, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhou Donghuang deliberately avoided Ren Jiapei's gaze and asked with a smile.
Hearing Zhou Donghuang ask about this, Ren Jiapei's face instantly became serious, "Brother Zhou, I am here to tell you something."
"Today, Tang Liunian, the head of the Tang family, a powerful family, suddenly came to my house. When my father received him, he called me by name."
"Then, in front of me, he mentioned to my father that Prince Chu's Palace has not taken any action against you during this period."
"He said that he guessed that the Prince of Chu's Palace should not dare to touch you. However, the Prince of Chu's Palace will never give up and will definitely send someone to notify the Royal Family of Yunyang Kingdom."
"He also said that if the Yunyang royal family sends people, they will only send people who are confident of dealing with you."
Having said this, a look of anxiety appeared on Ren Jiapei's face at the right moment, "Brother Zhou, how about you leave King Chu City and go out to avoid the limelight?"
"With the speed of the two golden-crowned eagles beside you, you can hide well without being discovered before the Yunyang royal family arrives."
Ren Jiapei's words also let Zhou Donghuang know her purpose of coming and persuaded him to leave King Chu City to avoid the limelight.
"That Tang Liunian is quite interesting... He didn't dare to come over to remind me, but he went to the Ren family to find you and asked you to tell me."
Zhou Donghuang shook his head and smiled.
"Brother Zhou, did you hear what I said?"
Ren Jiapei said with a serious face: "Then if the Royal Family of Yunyang Kingdom sends someone here, they will definitely be able to deal with the two golden-crowned eagles around you."
"Prince Chu's Mansion, you are not afraid... However, the royal family of Yunyang Kingdom, as the master of Yunyang Kingdom, is far beyond what Chu Prince's Mansion can match."
"Although it is widely rumored outside that the strongest members of the Yunyang royal family are the Qi-gathering Dzogchen martial arts monks... But it is also widely rumored outside that the strongest ones in the Chu Palace are only the Qi-gathering Small Perfection martial arts monks."
"But in fact, there is another Qi Gathering Dzogchen Martial Arts monk in the Prince of Chu's Mansion!"
