Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 530: Those suspicious cases

Views:

Xia Longyuan fell silent and looked at Zhao Changhe with a strange look.

There is a kind of "are you crazy" pity.

But as if to give face, he didn't say it directly, but just said lightly: "Do you know that the scope of 'control' is very large?"

"I don't know, but this kind of concept problem has no impact." Zhao Changhe said: "Maybe 'Control Realm' is also divided into several stages, or there are several realms after Control Realm. This is just a concept problem, it doesn't matter. For example, the one in Maitreya Secret Realm is at the first level, the Four Ancient Symbols must be a level higher, and the Night Emperor is another level higher. What I can judge is that you have stronger expressiveness than the gods and demons in Control Realm that I have seen, and you may be at the first level of the Four Ancient Symbols."

“Almost… People in this world haven’t even reached the level of control, but I’m already at the next level.” Xia Longyuan’s tone was a little funny: “Do you know how big the gap is… Do you think I’m Xue Canghai? Even if I’m Xue Canghai, I’ve only been surpassed by someone by one level.”

Zhao Changhe shook his head and said, "It's meaningless to argue about this. You don't have to believe it. Since you don't want to listen to my advice, then give me some face and tell me what you think about the current situation of the sea tribe."

"Because the sea tribe is already an imminent problem, do you want to take care of it?"

"good."

"Even if the result of your management seems to be protecting my country, just like when we fought against the Hu people."

"That's right. Because the person I want to protect is not you."

Xia Longyuan looked a little disappointed, as if he couldn't believe that the blind man could actually turn into a hero. He smacked his lips and finally stretched out his hand: "Look."

Zhao Changhe took a look and saw a blue crystal in the shape of a teardrop. He could no longer sense any energy reaction.

"This is the soul crystal left by the sea tribe member who attacked you after I drained his soul power. If you carry it with you, it can help you avoid water." Xia Longyuan threw it over casually: "The ancient gods and demons are like stink bugs in the gutter, unwilling to come out directly. It is difficult to know the enemy. I have been waiting for them to reveal their flaws for a long time. Finally one of them shows up, so of course I will catch him first."

It turned out that the sea creature was beaten down and then transported to the capital from a long distance. This method was indeed very mysterious.

This drained the soul power, and perhaps it was not just the soul-searching effect, it was possible that some characteristics of the sea clan were also acquired. No wonder Xia Longyuan couldn't wait to take action for the first time.

"That attack was not just for this guy. If it was just for him, I could have avoided hurting you and Wen Jing. However, the opportunity is fleeting. If the Sea King behind him also rescues him, being soft-hearted might lead to bad things. Therefore, we must kill him with one strike and leave the Sea King no time to react."

Xia Longyuan finally gave an explanation for his previous behavior. It was not known whether it was because his daughter was sitting next to him and listening quietly, or because of Zhao Changhe's look as a loyal minister and chivalrous knight.

"Of course I have to admit that I didn't do this to save you." Xia Longyuan looked Zhao Changhe up and down, shook his head and said, "You don't necessarily need to be saved."

Zhao Changhe asked: "Is its strength inferior to Yu?"

What he meant was that as long as it wasn't the Imperial Realm, he had the confidence to protect himself and escape even if it was a triple secret treasure.

Xia Longyuan said: "Yes, this kind of thing is at best a triple secret treasure. Even if they fight alone, they may not be a match for Wen Jing. Because they are just a kind of manufacturing body, even if the person who made them is very strong."

"Manufacturing body..."

"The so-called sea tribes are divided into two categories. One is this kind of aquatic energy body, which is considered a spellcaster and the transmitter of the will of the Sea Emperor. The other is the fish and turtles in the sea, which have been endowed with spirituality and turned into fishmen, and are sea tribe warriors. As for the real ancient sea tribe, it is obvious that they have died out, and only the Sea Emperor is left, and he is also in a state of lingering on... If he dares to set foot on land, I am sure I can kill him."

Zhao Changhe said: "So they pushed the Wang family to rebel. What was their purpose? To test your strength?"

"Sea power and land power involve the transfer of luck. The stronger the rule of the sea clan is, the more complete the restoration of the Sea King will be."

"Then why not just create a tsunami and destroy the world."

"Of course, it can't do it, and it doesn't dare to. It's not the only one who is immortal in the ancient times. What others want is the land. Once it dares to offend such public anger, it will not only be beaten by me." Xia Longyuan laughed: "So supporting agents and using this mode of hegemony to gain control of the land is, in a sense, also what it needs, luck, faith, and revival."

Zhao Changhe suddenly understood.

It's very uncomfortable to not know what others are doing. Regardless of whether you can win or not, it's much more comfortable to know the whole story. Judging from this situation, Cui Wenjing is really clear-headed. If the Sea King recovers before other gods and demons, it will really cause the destruction of the world...

Everyone needs different living conditions!

"So, what is the Wang family thinking? Are they being controlled, or are they courting disaster?" "I can't say what Wang Daoning is thinking." Xia Longyuan smiled slightly: "Since three or four years ago, something has been wrong with the Wang family... The prince went to the Wang family, and when he came back, I discovered that the genetic composition of his body had changed to that of the sea clan."

"… so you killed him."

"That's right." Xia Longyuan seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "They wanted to steal the rule silently through this method, but unfortunately they didn't know that my strength has exceeded their imagination and they saw through it at a glance. Even the genes have changed, is it still my child? To say that I am cold-hearted and even killed my own son is not true."

It’s cruel enough, okay? At least the prince’s soul hasn’t changed, and he thinks of you as his father.

He could have abolished and imprisoned the illegitimate daughter and brought her back to be the new heir. At least the country would have been stable, and at most the Wang family would have been in turmoil, but the problem would not have been as serious as it is now. I'm afraid there were other considerations for killing her. I always feel that the turmoil in the world was caused by Xia Longyuan himself.

Zhao Changhe looked at Xia Chichi, but there was no expression on Xia Chichi's face.

But it is no wonder that the prince’s death cannot be explained to the outside world. If it cannot be explained, it can only remain a mystery.

Huangfu Qing had been observing in the palace for so long, he must have noticed the rift between Xia Longyuan and the prince before, so the Four Symbols Sect secretly organized the extermination of the Luo Family Village. Xia Longyuan had just killed his son, and his illegitimate son was also "gone". Xia Longyuan probably had not thought of this beforehand.

By some strange coincidence, Xia Chichi survived. This was not Xia Longyuan's pre-arrangement, but luck. So, what are you so confident about? Obviously, many things are out of your expectation and control. The whole world is against you. If each party does something beyond your expectation, things will get out of control.

But he is still so confident based on his overwhelming strength.

Zhao Changhe sighed and said nothing more, "Thank you for clearing up my confusion."

Xia Longyuan laughed: "You're thanking me for that?"

"I am too curious. I can't sleep well if I don't find out many things."

"Someone just saw this trait of yours." Xia Longyuan hinted, "It might be very useful."

Zhao Changhe said: "I have places that are more useful."

Blind man: “…”

Xia Longyuan laughed: "You have finished scolding me and solving my doubts. Can you leave some space for me and Chi Chi to talk alone?"

Xia Chichi stood up and said, "I had something to say to you, but now I don't have anything to say. Changhe has already said everything I wanted to say, and I know everything you want to know. I am the Holy Maiden of the Four Symbols, and I am rebelling against you. If you don't want to arrest me, then I'll take my leave."

Xia Longyuan was just like watching his own naughty child rebelling. He shook his head and laughed, and said to Zhao Changhe: "Give him some advice."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head and said, "Let Lao Deng explode the gold coins first, and then we can fight back later."

Xia Longyuan: "Grass..."

Xia Chi Chi actually understood what he said and shook his head calmly: "If I accept his legacy, I won't be able to oppose him so resolutely, so it's better not to. Including the so-called succession, I don't want this mess, and neither do you."

Xia Longyuan pointed at the sky and said, "What if I gave you your mother's inheritance? You were young at that time, and there were many things she didn't have time to teach you, but I can."

Xia Chichi looked up at the sky, and above the sky, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger constellations suddenly shone brightly.

Xia Longyuan said leisurely: "Also, since I am Lao Deng, I will also cause trouble for your Four Symbols Sect and this ghost fire boy beside me."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

"In a word, the Night Emperor is not dead. This ghost fire wants to pretend to be the Night Emperor's reincarnation or the Night Emperor's inheritance to take over the Four Symbols Sect, but it's gone." Xia Longyuan took a teapot beside him and took a sip comfortably: "Let you scold me."
