The eighth prince was assassinated in the royal city, and even his head was cut off. The impact was too bad. If the murderer was not found and punished severely, wouldn't anyone dare to kill members of the royal family in the future?
King Lei Ting of Yunwu County was furious. He summoned the top ten generals guarding the king's city into the palace overnight, closed the city gates, and sealed off Wushi. He would rather catch a hundred by mistake than let one go.
"It's been so many years, yet someone dared to assassinate members of the royal family in Wangcheng. It's really courageous." Duke Yunwu let out a cold snort.
In the main hall, the ten generals felt as if they heard a muffled thunder, and their eardrums seemed to be shattered. They trembled all over and immediately fell to their knees on the ground.
Each of the ten of them has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and their positions are high and powerful, and their own martial arts cultivation is extremely powerful. However, Yunwu County King just snorted coldly, and shocked them all to kneel on the ground.
There is no way, who is the king of Yunwu County is a strong man in the extreme celestial realm, he can be called a myth of martial arts, among warriors, he is like "heaven".
National Teacher Xue Jingtian stood below respectfully, and said, "My lord, could this matter be related to the Moon Worship Sect? In Yunwu Commandery, only the Moon Worship Sect and the black market dare to oppose the royal family."
"Although the black market also gathers a lot of vicious and evil people, their actions are generally linked to their interests. Killing the Eighth Prince is completely without interest, and it doesn't look like their style of doing things."
"On the contrary, it's the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect. They believe in demon gods and act perversely. It's entirely possible to kill the eighth prince in order to challenge the majesty of the royal family."
"Moon Worship Demon Sect?" Yunwu County King's eyes sank slightly.
In Yunwu County, the most powerful force is naturally the royal family, who control the world's soldiers and horses, and the strong are like clouds, ruling the entire kingdom.
Those other sects and families can only be regarded as small families in front of the royal family, and there is no comparison at all.
However, there are also some forces that can challenge the royal family, such as the Inscription Pattern Guild, the Moon Worship Demon Sect, the Black Market, and the Wushi Bank.
The Inscription Pattern Guild and the Wushi Bank, one controls all the alchemists, weapon refiners, beast masters, and strange people in the world; the other almost controls more than 30% of the entire kingdom's property.
The Mingwen Guild and the Wushi Bank spread all over the Kunlun area, and their words were enough to influence the decision made by the King of Yunwu County.
Of course, the Inscription Pattern Guild, Wushi Bank and the official forces complement each other and benefit each other. Under normal circumstances, they will never oppose the official forces.
In the peaceful era, both the Inscription Pattern Guild and the Wushi Bank symbolically surrendered to the official forces, and to a certain extent, accepted the management of the official forces.
However, matters that really involve core interests are all managed by the Inscription Run Guild and the Wushi Bank themselves, and even official forces can't even think about getting involved.
The black market, like the Inscription Pattern Guild and Wushi Bank, has existed since ancient times, and it is completely free from the management of official forces.
The black market, specializing in all kinds of dirty underground transactions, belongs to the dark side of the world.
They control most of the killers, prostitutes, thieves, wanted criminals in the world, and even a large number of slave traders and dark mercenaries.
The black market, to a certain extent, can compete with Wushi Qianzhuang, and its power is quite huge.
Official forces can suppress the black market to a certain extent, but they still cannot eliminate them. Even in some other counties, the black market has taken control of the entire county government and army, turning that county into a paradise of darkness.
As for the Moon Worship Demon Cult, it is even more terrifying. They believe in demon gods, and there are many strong people. In every county, every city has established a sub-rudder, which is dedicated to confronting the official forces.
They even wanted to overthrow the rule of the First Central Empire and take control of the entire Kunlun realm.
The Moon Worship Demon Cult will establish a head rudder in each county, and appoint a head rudder. In each city under the county flag, establish a sub-helm and set up a rudder master.
In Yunwu Commandery, there is naturally the influence of the Moon Worship Demon Sect.
It is said that the chief rudder of the Moon Worship Demon Sect in Yunwu Commandery is also a cultivator of the extreme celestial realm, a myth of martial arts.
"If it is really the people of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect who killed the Eighth Prince, then it is definitely a signal of threat. They are testing the background of Yunwu County, and they may not be sure. A large number of Demon Sect masters are gathering in Yunwu County, preparing to attack Yunwu County. Yunwu Commandery will take action." National Teacher Xue Jingtian said
The national teacher is the queen's elder brother, so he naturally knew that the Eighth Prince was killed by someone sent out by the queen.
In order to prevent the King of Yunwu from being suspicious of the Queen, he could only divert the King of Yunwu's attention to the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult.
The assassination of a prince is a major event, but the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect is an even bigger matter.
You know, in the past 800 years, the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect has wiped out more than one county. For many rulers, it is like a nightmare.
If the Moon Worship Demon Cult really wanted to attack Yunwu County on a large scale, no matter how important other things were, the King of Yunwu County would definitely let it go first.
Hearing the words of the national teacher, Yunwu County King's expression became serious.
The national teacher glanced at King Yunwu and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the king of Yunwu County diverted his attention. If the king of Yunwu County ordered a thorough investigation into the cause of the eighth prince's death, maybe the queen might really be found.
"The Eighth Prince couldn't have been killed by the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult!" Zhang Ruochen said loudly as he walked in from outside the hall.
The national teacher's eyes were fixed, and he said: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, do you have another opinion?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "The Eighth Prince was killed on the way back to the palace because he was driving in my car. Obviously, the target of those assassins was me, and the Eighth Prince was just killed by mistake!"
The King of Yunwu County nodded and said: "Jiu'er is right. The Moon Worship Demon Sect has always been high-profile. If it really intends to provoke the royal family, it is definitely not as simple as assassinating Ba'er. This matter must be thoroughly investigated! In addition , just in case, Ge Qian, you leave the palace immediately, and secretly dispatch the latest movements of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect."
"Subordinate, take orders!"
Ge Qian, the personal bodyguard of the Yunwu County King, bowed his hands, and then retreated. He left the palace overnight to investigate the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen and the top ten generals also left the hall.
The ten generals immediately rushed to investigate the cause of the eighth prince's death and arrest the murderer.
Zhang Ruochen returned to Yushu Palace to check Yun'er's injuries, then entered the inner space of the space-time spar and continued to practice.
"The person those killers want to kill must be me. What happened tonight is really dangerous enough. If the eighth prince didn't force Yun'er to send him back to the palace, the person who died would probably be me. Who would it be?"
During the year-end assessment, his performance was too dazzling, and he would definitely be envied.
The people in the palace are the most suspicious.
Of course, the possibility of the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect is not completely impossible. After all, the birth of a top genius in the royal family is not a small threat to them. The best way is to kill that genius in the cradle.
"Why do you think so much? As long as my cultivation base is strong enough, no one will be able to kill me. Besides, the assassination of the Eighth Prince caused too much commotion. In a short period of time, the other party is unlikely to launch a second assassination."
Zhang Ruochen didn't think any more, took out a Celestial Pellet and held it in the palm of his hand.
The Celestial Elephant Red Fire Pill is as big as a longan's eye, and it looks like a burning flame, emitting a very scorching breath.
The third-grade elixir is really different, the elixir contained in it is too strong.
You know, the price of a Celestial Scarlet Fire Pill is comparable to a Tier 5 True Martial Weapon. Only Zhang Ruochen would buy seven such extravagant pills at once.
Only someone as physically strong as Zhang Ruochen would dare to swallow the Celestial Red Fire Pill. If it is replaced by another extreme warrior in the Huangji Realm, not only will he not be able to refine the Celestial Red Fire Pill, but he may even be in danger of being burned by the Pill Fire.
Swallowing the Celestial Elephant Scarlet Fire Pill into one's stomach is like swallowing a small scorching sun. The pain is absolutely no less than the pain of cultivating in the Manshen Pool.
"Chi Chi!"
A trace of Danhuo and Pill Qi gushed out from the Celestial Red Fire Pill, penetrated into Zhang Ruochen's meridians, flesh, bones, and internal organs, constantly tempering his body.
It took Zhang Ruochen three full days to completely refine the pill fire of Tianxiang Scarlet Fire Pill, and his physical strength increased a lot. Not only that, but the true qi in the qi pool has also doubled.
In the past three days, Zhang Ruochen only refined all the pill fire, and only 30% of the pill energy was refined.
It took another five days for Zhang Ruochen to refine all the qi of Tianxiang Chihuodan. The true qi in the qi pool has increased a lot.
"According to this speed, I can refine two more Celestial Phenomena Scarlet Fire Pills, and I will be able to complete the cultivation of true qi in the qi pool and reach the peak of the middle stage of Huangji Realm."
The function of Tianxiang Scarlet Fire Pill is not to enhance true energy, but to temper the body.
However, the Celestial Elephant Red Fire Pill was really against the sky. While tempering the body, it also increased Zhang Ruochen's true energy a lot.
Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to refine the second Tianxiang Scarlet Fire Pill. After all, the medicinal power of the Tianxiang Red Fire Pill was too strong. If he took it one after another, even Zhang Ruochen's strong physique would definitely not be able to bear it.
"Practice drawing basic space inscription patterns first!"
Zhang Ruochen took out the inscription pen and the spiritual paper, injected his true energy into the inscription pen, and carved on the spiritual paper over and over again.
After practicing for a whole day, more than 130 pieces of spiritual paper were wasted, and one inscription pattern was not successfully carved.
He was not discouraged, continued to practice, and continued to portray.
For the next month, Zhang Ruochen stayed in the inner space of the space-time spar almost all the time, and only went out once every three days.
Most of the rest of the time is spent practicing Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, Tianxin Sword Art and practicing eight basic space inscription patterns.
One month in the outside world, the inner space of the space-time crystal is three months.
In three months, Zhang Ruochen refined three Celestial Phenomena Scarlet Fire Pills, and finally cultivated the true energy in the Qi Pool to perfection, reaching the peak of the Huang Ji Realm, and can start to hit the Huang Ji Realm's Great Pole.
"With my current physique, even compared with my previous life, it's pretty much the same. After all, I was only six years old when I broke through to the top of the Huangji Realm in my last life." Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen was about to hit the top of Huangji Realm.
"I don't know how many meridians can be opened up? In the last life, when I was at the top of the Huangji Realm, I opened up 27 meridians. In this life, can I surpass it?"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes became extremely firm, no matter what, he had to do it.
