When Tang Wanzhuang and Qin Dingjiang went to the imperial study, at the other end of the palace, under the Taimiao where Xia Longyuan had been in seclusion for a long time, Xia Longyuan was resting with his eyes closed.
In the battle at sea, his soul was destroyed, and the injury to his main body was not serious, but it was not light either.
After all, it is a type of situation in which the soul is damaged, which has a relatively large impact on the performance of the realm. It is impossible to exert the original strength. It is difficult to evaluate what level it is specifically.
In fact, under normal circumstances, ordinary protection is enough.
In the Maitreya Secret Realm, Xue Wu was just an ordinary Yu Realm. His soul was almost recovered, but he had no body. He took over the body of a goddess. It was a mess. Even so, it took Ying Wu San Niang, Cui Wen Jing, Yang Jing Xiu, Gui Chen Yuan Cheng and a group of people from the Heaven Ranking and Earth Ranking to beat him up. Xia Longyuan was much stronger than Xue Wu at the moment, and it was enough to suppress this world without a Yu Realm.
People in this world would never have thought that Xia Longyuan would be stronger than everyone else even if he was one level lower...
Because he is too strong, he looks down on everything. It can be said that there are only two people in the world that he respects.
One is Zhao Changhe. He is even closer to Zhao Changhe than to his daughter, and his expectations for Zhao Changhe's future are higher than the blind man's expectations for Zhao Changhe - old players are like this when they look at new players. They wish they could give away all the things they can't use to the new players. They are too lazy to ask him to write an 800-word essay, but they can write several thousand words when writing a guide for the new players.
It’s a pity that this newcomer also jumped. He doesn’t want anything else but your daughter.
damn it.
The other is Tang Wanzhuang. Tang Wanzhuang thought it was the righteousness between the monarch and his subjects, and the grace of recognition, but in fact, in Xia Longyuan's heart, it was a feeling of respect - no one does not respect true loyal ministers and good generals. If you travel back to ancient times and become an emperor with Wu Hou and Wu Mu by your side, it would be something you would laugh at in your dreams, provided that you know people and find your own Wu Hou.
Xia Longyuan didn't know many people, but everyone in the world knew that Tang Wanzhuang was coughing up blood and was working hard.
For Tang Wanzhuang, this trust and respect was indeed a recognition.
Xia Longyuan's healing efficiency was not high. Soul injuries were always difficult to treat. Even if Zhao Changhe used the dual cultivation skills and the rejuvenation technique, it would take several days. He had neither and could only rely on drugs to slowly recover. He had not paid any attention to the changes in the outside world these days and could not be distracted.
But at this moment Xia Longyuan suddenly opened his eyes: "Who is blocking Beimang and shaking the dragon vein?"
He suddenly made a move and pointed towards the sky below the ground.
It was like pointing to the location between Beimang and the capital on a map, and then a finger descended from the void and attacked the mountains.
A Taoist priest sat cross-legged in the mountains, raising his palms in salute.
A gentle energy emerged, collided with the finger shadow, and dissipated without a trace.
The Taoist opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "This is the only trick I can offer you. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
Kunlun Yuxu, fourth on the Heavenly Ranking!
Xia Longyuan's expression became serious for once: "You are a person from the outside world, why are you interfering?"
"We are all in the human world, what is the world outside..." Yuxu smiled: "Your Majesty, as an emperor, cannot make the people live in peace, but is the source of chaos; as a warrior, you cannot promote good and eliminate evil, but is the root of evildoers. When you suppress the world, no one dares to move without permission, just like watching a naughty child messing around at home, but even the calmest family members will have their limit... I think Your Majesty is better off coming to Kunlun and having a drink with the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest will open the couch to welcome you."
After saying that, he stood up and floated north: "The old Taoist went to see Temur Mo and said that people in the secular world don't care about the mountains and rivers, maybe they care more than you do."
"Boom!" Xia Longyuan was about to say something else when suddenly the earth shook and the passage to the secret realm of the Taimiao where he was was inexplicably opened.
Xia Longyuan didn't care about Beimang in the distance. He looked at the figure that appeared in the smoke and said slowly, "Ying Wu... If you don't go dig the soil and dig a hole, what does the world have to do with you?"
Ying Wu stood at the foot of the platform, still smiling like a kind businessman: "I am just digging a hole, your majesty's hole is quite warm."
Xia Longyuan: “?”
Ying Wu: “…”
"I don't like jokes, especially such vulgar jokes." Xia Longyuan said slowly: "Ying Wu, even if the whole world is against me, I don't think you should be among them."
Ying Wuqi asked, "Why? Because you don't monopolize the secret realm by taking advantage of your power, so I can find it freely?"
Xia Longyuan said: "Isn't it? If I hadn't monopolized the resources and let you all have your own ladder, would you, Ying Wu, be where you are today?"
Ying Wu raised his head and thought for a while, then sighed, "You don't monopolize the secret realm because, first, you don't want the spiritual energy to revive, and second, you want to provoke competition among the families. It's not because of any good intentions. Why bother to talk so grandly? That can only coax your own loyal ministers, such as Tang Wanzhuang, so that she will believe that it is because of your majesty's temperament. Having said that, even if you monopolize it, you can only monopolize obvious places like Ancient Sword Lake. It is impossible to monopolize more secret places. For example, the steps that Ying made in his early years were basically discovered in the wind and sand when he was a horse bandit in the northwest. What does it have to do with you... On the contrary, your instigation has caused Ying to encounter extremely fierce disputes, and some brothers have died because of it."
Xia Longyuan said: "Is this the reason why you rebelled against me? Even if your brother died in a fight with others, it cannot be blamed on me. How ridiculous."
Ying Wu shook his head: "It can't be entirely blamed on your majesty. Let's put it this way... Your majesty is always thinking about monopolizing the whole thing... But your majesty, I never said that my goal is to monopolize the secret realm."
Xia Longyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Ying Wu continue: "All I want is to find them... If there is an emperor who is committed to this, Ying is even willing to help."
Xia Longyuan frowned slightly.
Ying Wu said slowly: "My target is a certain god or devil, and your majesty's target is all gods and devils. In theory, you and I should have the best basis for cooperation, but unfortunately, your majesty has not thought about these things at all. You only have yourself in your eyes, which adds more obstacles. People like you... Ying suggests that you should stop occupying the toilet and give way."
Xia Longyuan nodded and laughed: "Not bad, who should I give it to? Wang Daoning? Come out and see me."
In the darkness behind Ying Wu, a tower-like strong man walked out slowly and bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xia Longyuan laughed and said, "Li Shentong... Wang Daoning didn't come? What is there to hide for now? Are you still playing tricks on me?"
Li Shentong said calmly, "Wang Daoning went to kill Tang Shouzuo... because no one was willing to attack Tang Shouzuo except him. To be honest with you, Your Majesty, Wang Daoning has already broken through the Imperial Realm. He may kill Tang Shouzuo very quickly, and he will be able to face Your Majesty in no time."
For the first time, Xia Longyuan's face slightly changed, and he looked a little angry. Li Shentong sighed and said, "We have an accomplice who secretly informed Lord Tang to evacuate... We actually knew about it, but we didn't stop him. We hope Lord Tang will really evacuate. We don't want to deal with her. But if she evacuates, there will be no one to hold Wang Daoning for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will be in greater danger."
Xia Longyuan's expression became better, and he smiled slightly: "Could this accomplice be... Suzaku?"
At this point, everyone on both sides, who were in a solemn atmosphere, actually smiled a little. Among them, Ying Wu smiled bitterly: "Not bad."
"It seems like everyone knows?"
"… Everyone knows it. I think the person involved is the only one who doesn't know."
Xia Longyuan asked, "What do you think? If I expose her when the fight starts, will her fighting power be reduced by half?"
Everyone clasped their hands and said nothing. No, isn't this the time to talk about this
"Okay." Xia Longyuan really didn't like joking, so he turned around and asked Li Shentong: "I have always wanted to ask you a question..."
Li Shentong said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Your martial arts skills are even better than mine. I asked Wanzhuang about the current decline of Bashu. Your muscular men who can only play with rocks and drink have no good ideas. Because you slaughtered the noble families, you can't even find scholars to give you advice. The country is in a mess, not much better than when Zhai Muzhi was here." Xia Longyuan smiled and said, "So you started a rebellion, for public or private?"
“Although everyone is at a loss as to what to do, at least we are no longer being bullied.” Li Shentong said calmly: “When I started the rebellion, I actually didn’t think about how to do it, let alone replace His Majesty.”
"what is that?"
"It's just the anger of an ordinary man. Blood splatters every five steps. The whole world is in mourning. That's all." Li Shentong said, "Zhai Muzhi is just a side dish. This battle is just what he deserves."
Xia Longyuan suddenly became a little absent-minded.
Ying Wuqi asked, "What is your majesty thinking about?"
Xia Longyuan sighed: "I liked this sentence very much when I was young... I just never thought that this sentence would be used to kill me."
Everyone was silent.
Xia Longyuan said: "It's not enough for you two, Li Gongsi, Yang Jingxiu, both of you please come out. I'm not in the mood to talk to you one by one."
The two heads of the noble families walked out of the darkness, swords in hand, in silence.
Xia Longyuan was a little surprised: "Your sword... has revived?"
Yang Jingxiu sighed, "The Sea King has fallen, and his energy is without a master. Brother Daoning shared with us some methods of transferring and absorbing the energy of the sea clan to replenish the sword spirit, and everyone's sword spirit has indeed recovered."
Xia Longyuan remained silent. The plundering of sword spirits from various families was the main reason why each family abandoned their wavering positions and clearly opposed him. There was nothing much to say.
Yang Jingxiu said: "In fact, I know why Your Majesty wants to plunder the sword spirit. It is not because Your Majesty covets those things, but just wants to weaken the bloodless hands of the noble families. From Your Majesty's point of view, it is understandable, but it is a pity that everyone's positions are opposite."
Xia Longyuan nodded and said no more: "Except for Zhuque and Wang Daoning, are all the people here? If it's just you guys, it still won't be enough."
Yang Jingxiu slowly took out another sword: "Brother Cui also asked me to greet His Majesty."
Xia Longyuan whispered: "Qinghe..."
Cui Wenjing, who was lying in bed with his injuries still unhealed, expressed his breakup in this way. His Cui family was clearly fighting the Wang family to death, but they were united in their attitude towards Xia Longyuan.
The appearance of Qinghe Sword is not just a matter of attitude.
As Yang Jingxiu took out the Qinghe Lianshan, Li Gongsi, the head of the Li family who had been silent, also took out another sword, the Wang family's Zhenhai Sword.
Including Li's own sword, the four swords suddenly scattered and automatically stuck on the four sides of the platform.
These are four swords representing the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the world. When they are gathered into a formation, they have extremely strong representative significance.
Everyone present could feel a sense of the dragon veins of the mountains and rivers being cut off. The mountains and rivers on all sides did not recognize their master, and there was only one lonely person on the stage.
"From the world structure, to the Beimang Qi meridian, to the aristocratic family sword formation, you have been cutting off my cultivation foundation step by step." Xia Longyuan said calmly: "The idea is right, but you are a little impatient... If you want to make the world think that Great Xia has no king, you still need a little more..."
Li Gongsi whispered: "Your Majesty always ignores some insignificant people, but they may bring you harm you never thought of."
At this moment, the fake in the imperial study issued an order to execute the Tang family.
The dragon energy suddenly disappeared, and the mountains and rivers were isolated.
Although he was on the stargazing platform in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Xia Longyuan in Taichung was like he was on an isolated island. No one in the world recognized him as the emperor anymore.
Xia Longyuan's expression changed slightly. Everyone present could clearly feel that originally Xia Longyuan's aura was integrated with this place, and everyone couldn't even find a point of attack, but at this moment his aura became independent and extremely clear.
If Zhao Changhe were here, he might call this phenomenon... a bright blood bar.
