Chapter 201 – All four wives are gone, the rooster has no woman, draw the sword and become a natural spirit

The bloodline of the Tianren Clan.

It's really powerful!

Ying Wuji was excited, his whole body covered in goosebumps.

Bai Xiu was right.

The higher the talent, the more the Bai family's luck can be excavated.

With his triple-layered and thirteen-layered condensed spiritual fetus, he was already the existence that broke through the ceiling of the human clan, directly excavating the clan's luck to the extreme.

Not only did he break through the limits of the human clan today.

He even broke through the limits of the Tianren Clan.

The two generations of talent distribution rules overlapped, and his basic attributes had reached an extremely terrifying level.

If before, he only had confidence in dealing with soldiers with various means.

Now, he dared to confront soldiers head-on, and with his methods, he could even kill them on the spot.

There's no other way.

This body is just too strong.

Even the injuries caused by the destruction of his external incarnation have been completely repaired due to the bloodline revival.

If it had to be described in four words, Ying Wuji would call it a "human weapon".

If it could only be described in two words, it would be "fighting monsters"!

The long-lost feeling of health made Ying Wuji feel incredibly energetic. Since the Sword Immortal Conference until now, he had been forced to abstain from sex due to his weak body. He couldn't help but indulge once, and he almost became useless.

During this time, he couldn't feel any happiness of a married man at all.

But now...

Ying Wuji glanced at Hua Chao's room and couldn't help but frown.

Huh?

Where's my wife?

Could she be with my mother-in-law?

But when he looked into Bai Yi's room, he found that there was no one there either.

He scanned with his divine sense and found that Cao Gonggong was also not there.

Did they go out?

He walked towards the main gate and pulled over the gatekeeper, asking, "Where's my mother and Hua Chao?"

The gatekeeper quickly replied, "Replying to the Lord, there's an honored guest who invited the Empress Dowager to the theater troupe to watch a play. They said they would come back after finishing watching 'The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai'."

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai...

Doesn't that take a whole day to watch?

My restless feeling!

He looked at the sky.

It was just barely morning.

His main wife should be in the office.

Tang Tang should be bored alone.

It's a good time to go find her...

A crazy smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Don't ask!

The answer is that I have multiple wives.

He straightened his clothes and prepared to go out.

Just before leaving, he subconsciously asked, "By the way! Who invited my mother to watch the play?"

The gatekeeper quickly replied, "It's the Crown Princess!"

"Oh, her!"

Ying Wuji couldn't help but smile. Tang Tang does have filial piety.

But something seems off!

His face suddenly turned pale, and he staggered back a few steps.

It's over!

It's over!

My wife is gone.

He was extremely worried and directly slashed out with his sword.

Stepping into the crack.

He appeared directly in the theater troupe.

...

Backstage of the theater troupe.

Although the two women were extremely complicated in their hearts, they forcibly suppressed all their thoughts.

They firmly stood in front of Bai Yi, afraid that their mother-in-law would be harmed in any way.

Zhao Ning held the Heavy Li Sword and said in a deep voice, "You two, take my mother-in-law and leave!"

"Okay!"

They both nodded heavily.

They were both smart people.

Pointlessly persisting would only lead to pointless sacrifices.

Hua Chao and Li Caimei each held one of Bai Xiu's hands and guarded against Dan Qing, retreating towards the door.

But they didn't expect that just a few steps back, they felt like they had hit a wall.

They turned around to look.

They found that the door they had just entered was actually a painting on the wall.

Why did the door turn into a painting?

Not only did the door change, even the actors who were doing their makeup here just now turned into rough paintings, scattered on the ground.

Everyone's faces instantly turned pale.

Bai Yi's voice was low, "We should have been trapped in another space."

"You all reacted too slowly."

Dan Qing still had no expression on his face, his gaze shifted back to Hua Chao, "Master! These are all things you taught me, have you forgotten?"

His tone was complicated.

It was like a child waiting for the approval of an adult.

But it was also like a madman who had just crawled out of a thousand-year-old purgatory, crying with joy.

This crazy emotion made everyone shudder.

Hua Chao had the urge to step back. It was only now that she remembered what Ying Wuji had told her about Dan Qing.

At first.

She only treated it as a story.

Because she believed that she and Qing Yi were two completely different people.

Qing Yi had the world in her heart and was even willing to give up her life for the sake of her own ideals?

What about herself?

She was just an ordinary woman.

But now...Danqing stood in front of her, even imprisoning some unrelated people.

This person.

Is not a good person!

She glared at Danqing: "What did you do to Qingyan? Release him, or I won't be polite to you!"

Danqing's innocent and sick smile on his face: "Master! Qingyan is me, I am Qingyan!"

Huachao was a little angry: "Nonsense! Qingyan is a poor child who joined the theater troupe a few months ago. If Qingyan is you, how could there be so many opportunities for you to attack me? And why wait until now?"

Danqing felt wronged: "Master! Why don't you believe me? Don't you remember, when you took me as your disciple before, I looked exactly like Qingyan. I just wanted to recognize you as my master in the same way."

Huachao felt a chill down her spine.

She remembered when Ying Wuji told her about Danqing, saying that this person's methods were extremely cunning.

Although he had never painted a living person with his own blood, he could still paint an identical person.

Just like that person called Cai Tan.

He had once painted an identical substitute, although it disappeared after a few days, it had actually existed.

Qingyan, this child.

He was probably his own self with his life experiences and memories reduced.

And the personality of this child Qingyan was very similar to the young Danqing described by Thirteen.

"I..."

Huachao gritted her teeth: "I am not your master, you have mistaken the person!"

"I know you are not my master!"

The unnatural childishness on Danqing's face gradually disappeared, and he casually took out a slender brush from the air.

His expression became sinister and full of desire: "That's why I need you to become my master again!"

With a wave of the brush, countless ink arrows condensed out of thin air.

As soon as the ink arrows appeared, they shot towards everyone.

Cao Gonggong's face changed drastically, and he immediately stood in front of everyone, and his protective energy suddenly expanded several times, blocking all the ink arrows.

But what no one expected was that when these ink arrows were about to touch the protective energy, they suddenly disappeared into the air.

They disappeared in an instant and reappeared behind Cao Gonggong.

They actually passed through the air.

The change came too fast.

Zhao Ning could only hold up the Heavy Li Sword to block, but under the hasty situation, he only blocked seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent covered her from behind.

Fortunately, Li Caimei reacted quickly, her handprints flew, and she quickly used Thunder Law to split these ink arrows into ashes.

Even those that could have harmed Huachao were all split into black mist.

Bai Yi's expression became serious: "This space should be a painting scroll, the space we perceive is actually folded together. Defense is useless, attack his true body directly."

Upon hearing this, Danqing's pupils suddenly constricted. He didn't expect that the mystery of his painting scroll space would be seen through by this woman at a glance.

Just as he was about to wave his brush again, Cao Gonggong and Zhao Ning's swords had already attacked.

He could only put away his brush and meet them head-on.

He grabbed two ink swords out of thin air, and the sword flowers flew, actually fighting back against the two of them.

One against two.

Not only did he not fall behind, but he even formed a suppression.

Such a strong physique.

Such fast swordsmanship!

Danqing's expression was contemptuous, and suddenly he grinned.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Two sword clashes.

Cao Gonggong and Zhao Ning both staggered back a few steps.

Their faces became increasingly ugly.

Zhao Ning even spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

She was shocked.

Although she had not yet broken through to the Martial Realm, she believed that with the Zhuanxu Emperor's body with a First Grade Spirit Embryo, she was not much weaker than an ordinary Martial Realm cultivator.

This Danqing was famous for his ability to use painting to manipulate souls, but she didn't expect that both his physique and swordsmanship were extraordinary.

Even Cao Gonggong, who was considered outstanding among Martial Realm cultivators, was actually suppressed when working together with her.

Most people's dual sword techniques relied on agile and elusive sword moves to win.

But this Danqing.

Why were both of his swords so heavy?

What kind of physique was this?

Cao Gonggong's expression became serious, and he looked at Danqing with vigilance.

He believed that his strength was not weak, and even if he faced Ying Shisan, he might not necessarily lose.

But this Danqing gave him a feeling of suffocation.

Danqing sneered, pointing at Huachao and said, "My target is her, and not to kill her, just to turn her into someone else. I advise you not to lose your lives because of this!"Although there is a strange smell of ink in the aura of Zhuanxu's body, his strong physique is indeed no different from the orthodox Zhuanxu's body.

Even the feeling of a holy-grade spirit fetus is faintly present.

For a moment.

She even had the illusion that she was facing Ying Wuque, who had already broken through to the realm of a soldier and had reached a certain level in swordsmanship.

What is going on?

Danqing's smile had a hint of madness: "I have painted both the holy-grade spirit fetus and the Zhuanxu's body. Is it difficult to paint for myself?"

"Nonsense!"

Zhao Ning was suspicious in his heart, but his face was extremely cold: "Without bloodline support, it is impossible to obtain the emperor's body. What kind of evil method did you use?"

"This is the world in the painting, naturally it follows how I paint!"

Bai Yi's voice came from behind.

During the time when the three of them were fighting just now, Hua Chao had already taken out several talismans and activated them.

These were the strongest protective talismans of the Yang Zhu lineage, enough to temporarily protect them.

As a celestial being, even if she had lost seventy percent of her cultivation, her spiritual perception far surpassed ordinary people. She quickly judged the current situation.

Danqing looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "You, as a woman, do have some insight! The emperor's body of Zhuanxu is naturally not easy to obtain. I can only achieve seventy percent of the effect in the painting, but dealing with you few is already enough."

Bai Yi's heart sank.

She had indeed been careless.

Or perhaps Danqing's methods were too secretive.

Such a big trap.

She actually didn't avoid it.

This Danqing was originally a powerful cultivator in the Wushen realm, and his sword cultivation was quite formidable. Regardless of how strong his physical body was, he could achieve absolute suppression in the painting.

If this continues.

It will definitely end in complete defeat.

Giving up on Hua Chao is absolutely impossible.

She shouted loudly, "Hold him off! I will find a way to break open this space!"

As she spoke, she formed hand seals with both hands.

She quietly signaled the two daughters-in-law to transfer their true energy to her.

If she could activate the secret technique of the celestial beings to break open the space.

This broken painting might not be able to trap them.

Danqing frowned slightly. Although he didn't know Bai Yi's background, he felt that this person was extremely troublesome.

At this moment, Cao Gonggong and Zhao Ning had already attacked.

"Heh..."

He sneered, not even bothering to defend with his sword this time.

He disappeared on the spot.

In the instant he disappeared, he had already appeared in another place.

Both hands and heavy swords fell together.

"Boom!"

The heavy swords collided fiercely with the Yang Zhu lineage's formation, causing the entire space to shake.

The formation did not break.

But the three people inside all spewed out blood at the same time.

The spell that Bai Yi had worked so hard to condense actually dissipated just like that.

Danqing grinned savagely, his eyes devoid of any mercy, as if he was looking at a group of turtles in a jar.

He raised the heavy swords again.

At most three times.

This troublesome formation would be completely destroyed.

However.

Just as the heavy swords were about to fall again.

A faint sigh sounded in the air.

And the heavy swords stopped in a strange manner.

There was no sign of being blocked by anything.

It was as if... the swords were supposed to stop here.

This strange feeling made people unable to doubt the result at all.

It was as if it was a rule!

A figure appeared out of thin air.

It was the Sword Spirit, Han Guang.

She looked at Danqing indifferently, her tone unchanged: "Your swordsmanship is good, but it's just a skill. You can't defeat me. Leave, or you might die!"

Danqing's heart was filled with anger when he heard this, and he grinned savagely: "You dare to say that!"

He decisively gave up the two swords.

And pulled out a brush out of thin air.

But before the ink could even be spilled from the brush, a sharp sword energy came slashing towards it.

The brush was cut in half at the waist, and it didn't even make a sound, as if the brush was originally broken.

And that sword energy cut straight into the wall.

There was still no obstruction, and the wall was directly cut in half.

It didn't collapse.

But it drooped down like a piece of paper.

And outside the paper, there was another identical wall, but it looked more vivid.

The space was broken!

Danqing was suddenly horrified. How terrifying was this sword intent?

There were not many experts in the world who had reached the Wushen realm, but they were definitely not many.

Those he had come into contact with were all insignificant, and they could suppress them even without relying on paintings. If it was in this painted space, he even had the confidence to compete with those few strongest Wushen realm experts.

But this person in front of him.

Actually directly cut open the world in the painting.

Then what else couldn't she cut?

In just an instant, he realized that this person in front of him didn't even have a physical body, so naturally, there was no such thing as true energy.Absolute strength, not too strong.

But this is enough to cut through all terrifying sword intent, and it is definitely the most restraining existence to his own painting space.

Although he is confident, even without relying on the painting space, he can still defeat Cao Gonggong and Zhao Ning.

But without the support of Emperor Zhuanxu's body, he can only have a slight advantage at most.

Moreover, this is Jiangcheng.

The territory of the Li King's family.

"Goodbye!"

Dan Qing glanced coldly at Hua Chao and directly put away the painting space, preparing to leave.

But unexpectedly.

As soon as the painting space melted, a fist came towards him.

There was a golden light on the fist.

It was the symbol of Emperor Zhuanxu's body.

Ying Wuji is here?

Dan Qing sneered. He had heard of Ying Wuji's achievements, which seemed impressive, but it was only a competition between the Transcendent Mortal Realm.

Since he had drawn Ying Wuji using Ying Wuque's blood, he felt that the so-called Holy Spirit Fetus and Emperor Zhuanxu's body were nothing special.

Ying Wuji breaking through the Martial Realm still had a chance to harm him.

Before breaking through the Martial Realm, there was no possibility at all...

"Ah!"

Unexpectedly.

His nose collapsed and blood burst out.

Dan Qing screamed in pain and quickly took several steps back.

"Damn it!"

He hit my wife?

Ying Wuji cursed, and with a grasp of the void, the pseudo-Tianjie Forbidden Technique, Instantaneous Heaven's Communication, turned the world into a prison, directly locking Dan Qing's body.

The sky, which was originally clear, was instantly filled with thunder, and in less than a breath's time, it all poured down towards Dan Qing.

Dan Qing's expression was filled with horror.

He didn't expect Ying Wuji's methods to be so powerful.

He could definitely withstand a direct attack.

But this is Jiangcheng!

He gritted his teeth and immediately painted a light curtain.

The light curtain was as fragile as paper under the thunder, but it still blocked it for a moment.

Just in that moment.

Dan Qing's body turned into a scroll filled with complex patterns, and those patterns quickly faded away.

Just as the patterns disappeared and turned into a blank scroll.

The thunder finally arrived and struck down.

The thunder burned.

The paper of the scroll seemed to be in great pain, struggling and rolling in the flames for a moment before completely turning into ashes.

With a gust of wind.

Even the ashes disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it! He escaped!"

Ying Wuji cursed, then quickly ran to the others and asked with concern, "Are you all okay?"

His expression seemed extremely natural.

But his heart was already in his throat.

When he arrived at the theater, he found that there was only his mother-in-law on the second floor box. After asking, he learned that the others had gone to the backstage for a visit. He instantly felt that something was wrong.

They say a woman's sixth sense is accurate.

He didn't believe that Hua Chao and Tang Tang hadn't suspected anything before.

With him being involved, it almost ended in disaster. Now, with this separate contact...

So he was anxious.

But reality told him not to be anxious.

Because there was no one in the backstage, only a floating and constantly distorting image of a scroll.

He couldn't touch it.

He couldn't break it.

Even if he could guess that it was a separate space, he had no way to break in.

Compared to a disaster, the safety of his wife and mother was more worrying.

But now, it seemed that he didn't need to worry about their safety anymore.

He could focus on the essence of the problem.

Looking at the lingering true energy on Tang Tang and Hua Chao's bodies.

He pretended to be calm, but carefully avoided their gaze, as if his expression of pretending to be unaware was like a paper tiger that would fall apart with a poke.

His scalp felt a little numb.

He quickly turned to Zhao Ning and asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Zhao Ning coughed up blood and said, "No, it's nothing!"

She was originally adjusting her breath, but after saying this, she directly tilted her head and fainted.

This situation.

Can't handle it.

Retreat first!

Ying Wuji looked at Bai Yi for help.

But he found that Bai Yi had already fainted.

This situation was too embarrassing.

The mess he made.

He had to solve it himself!

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

Ying Wuji: "..."

At this moment.

A soft voice, still gentle but devoid of any warmth, came from behind him, "They are seriously injured, let's treat their injuries first!"

"Okay!"

Li Caimei responded, bending down to support Zhao Ning. While he breathed a sigh of relief, tears fell from his eyes.

Ying Wuji: "..."

Fifteen minutes later.

In the dressing room of the theater.

Ying Wuji carefully diagnosed Bai Yi and Zhao Ning's pulses, repaired some minor injuries with true energy, and they were already fine.

However.

The two people who shouldn't have been unconscious still hadn't woken up.

Ying Wuji turned around with a stiff face and found that soundproof symbols had been posted on the door.Hua Chao was sitting on a chair, struggling to support his head with both hands, his face pale and his whole body trembling slightly.

Li Caimei was staring at him with red eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with grievances and a faint expectation, as if she was still hoping that Ying Wuji would give her a reason to dispel all his bad thoughts.

"There are many things in here that are unavoidable."

Ying Wuji felt like he was not speaking, but spitting out lava, his throat burning and sore.

Hua Chao struggled to lift his head and looked at Ying Wuji with a desperate and hollow gaze. "It's okay, tell me one by one!"

Her voice was unusually calm, as calm as ordering a servant to wipe the table. The once gentle elder sister seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

Ying Wuji had never heard Hua Chao speak in this tone before. He had a faint feeling that Hua Chao was sitting here not because she still had feelings for him, but because she just wanted to leave clearly and openly.

She still wouldn't harm others.

Only torture herself.

Just like how she had never spoken ill of Luo Yan before he appeared.

He had no choice.

He could only tell the truth.

But it involved Zhao Ning's identity.

He subconsciously looked at Zhao Ning lying on the bed.

Zhao Ning seemed to sense something, or perhaps accidentally touched his wound, and let out a groan.

"Mmm~~~"

Then, he fell back into silence.

As if it was just an accident.

Ying Wuji knew that this was a silent agreement, so he prepared to pull Li Caimei to the other side of the table and tell the whole story from beginning to end.

Li Caimei was startled and took several steps back like a frightened deer.

Avoiding Ying Wuji's gaze, she anxiously sat opposite Hua Chao.

Ying Wuji's expression darkened and he also sat down, taking a deep breath. "Alright! I'll tell you everything..."

Hua Chao didn't speak, she just looked at him with lifeless eyes, wanting to know why the hero who saved her from danger had become the person she hated the most.

Li Caimei lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, wanting to know why Ying Wuji would do such an excessive thing.

Although it was inevitable for the loss of original energy to be given to the loved one when practicing the Jade Maiden Technique.

But that energy was her best expectation for Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji could handle it however he wanted, but he couldn't give it to another woman.

Why?

Ying Wuji reluctantly began to speak.

From the first meeting with Hua Chao.

To the misunderstanding with Li Caimei.

Until the final night when they took the last step together.

He held nothing back.

"Ha..."

Hua Chao finally let out the first sound, her expression filled with sorrow and despair. "So, all of this, is it because I didn't know how to appreciate you?"

Ying Wuji's voice was hoarse. "Hua Chao, listen to me..."

"No need to explain! You're not at fault."

Hua Chao smiled bitterly. "I know that your feelings for me are real, but you never thought of marrying me before. I was too naive, so this happened. But Wuji, I don't understand, how can a heart love two people at the same time?"

She looked at Ying Wuji.

Tears streamed down her face.

The scene after using the Jade Maiden Technique that night was vivid in her mind.

She was sure that Ying Wuji loved her, very much, even if that love was divided into two.

But she didn't want this incomplete love.

Ying Wuji fell silent for a long time and confessed softly, "It's four..."

Hua Chao: "???"

She felt a little dizzy in her head.

But fortunately, her thoughts were not too chaotic.

Four...

There was also Bai Zhi, who had been in seclusion for a long time, and Zhao Ning lying on the bed.

So the so-called Crown Prince, Zhao Ling, was actually a woman...

It was all because of herself.

Wuji never intended to be this heartless person from the beginning.

It was all because of herself.

She couldn't find an outlet for her emotions, which were like bandits rampaging in her heart, leaving a mess wherever they went.

Besides trembling, she couldn't do anything else.

"Hua Chao..."

"You don't need to say anything, I understand!"

Hua Chao propped up the table with both hands and staggered to her feet. "I don't blame you! I won't leave until His Highness is firmly seated on the throne. If you can find a solution to the so-called demonic seed that can put your mind at ease, then go ahead, I will behave and won't cause any trouble. I'll leave after everything is resolved between you and them."

Her words were like a knife cutting through her heart, every word trembling.

After speaking, she walked unsteadily towards the door.

Ying Wuji felt his hands and feet turn cold, afraid of Hua Chao's rationality.He quickly got up and held her hand, "But Hua Chao, I went to the end of the Ming Capital for you!"

Hua Chao smiled bitterly, her voice finally revealing a hint of despair, even with a crying tone, "I know, I know! But what else do you want me to do?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Yes.

She had already done everything she could.

What else could she do?

Hua Chao lowered her head, "I'm going back to Shangmo Bookstore. I won't cause trouble for you, but I hope you won't come looking for me either! If the Emperor is worried, he can send someone to watch over me. I'm leaving..."

As she spoke, she forcefully pulled her hand out of his grasp and left through the door.

Ying Wuji: "..."

Li Caimei's voice came from behind, "Go after her!"

Ying Wuji turned around and saw her eyes, red like a rabbit's, "Tang Tang! About this matter..."

Li Caimei lowered her head and sighed softly, "Because you were influenced by the Heart-Devouring Shadow, I'll forgive you, but just a little bit. I'm still very angry, so don't come looking for me until I calm down, okay?"

"When will you..."

"Don't you think that's a rude question?"

"..."

Li Caimei lowered her head, her voice somewhat aggrieved, "Go quickly! If her demonic seed erupts, we would have been deceived for nothing."

Ying Wuji nodded heavily, "Then, wait for me at home."

After saying that, he quickly chased after her.

Li Caimei watched him go in the direction he had left, but there was no one there anymore.

She stood there in a daze for a long time before closing the door and sitting back down on the chair.

There was no emotional outburst.

Just occasional sobbing.

The light and shadows flickered before her eyes.

She raised her head and saw Zhao Ning's apologetic expression, forcing out a smile, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

The women of the Li family.

What they should learn is to compromise.

Other women do it for their families.

But she did it for at least one man who loved her.

But it's still so unfair.

Zhao Ning: "..."

Bai Yi also woke up and patted her daughter-in-law's hand to comfort her.

When Li Caimei's emotions stabilized a bit, she quickly went to another daughter-in-law.

In this pursuit.

They arrived at Shangmo Bookstore.

As expected.

Their useless son couldn't even enter the door.

Instead, as a mother-in-law, she could enter under the pretense of being protected and keeping her company.

"You useless thing!"

Before entering the door, Bai Yi glared at Ying Wuji, "Go back and wait for news. There are no signs of her demonic seed erupting for now, and I'll stabilize her here. Don't worry!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

He felt that his level as a scumbag was still too low.

When others fall into trouble, they can at least struggle.

When he falls into trouble, he can't even call for help.

He just sinks silently.

And this is even the result of having two beautiful and kind wives.

Otherwise, he would be facing a wooden knife.

"But this is even more unbearable than a wooden knife!"

Ying Wuji turned his head and looked towards the bookstore.

He didn't know how many more times he would be able to see Hua Chao in the future.

Even if they could resolve the demonic seed.

It would be very difficult for him to keep her.

And Tang Tang... she's been wronged.

Sigh...

He didn't go home.

Instead, he sat on the riverbank behind Shangmo Bookstore for a long time, his mind empty, without any thoughts, just staring at the river.

At some point, a figure appeared beside him.

He thought it was Hua Chao and quickly looked up.

But he found it was the Sword Spirit of Hanguang.

She had a disdainful expression on her face, "How did the Hanguang Sword recognize such a waste like you?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

...

In the following days.

Jiangcheng remained calm and peaceful.

Only the lives of a few people underwent earth-shattering changes.

The good news was.

Hua Chao's demonic seed did not erupt, and everything was still under control.

Every day, they shuttled between the bookstore and the theater, with only a middle-aged woman by their side, as if nothing had happened.

There were hidden guards around them, and Danqing had no chance to take advantage of.

Of course.

Ying Wuji also had no chance to take advantage of.

He had tried several times to see Hua Chao, but he didn't even catch a glimpse of her.

Bai Yi told him that Hua Chao's demonic seed hadn't erupted, probably because of some loser's genuine love for her.

But her emotions were still unstable, and she had already made up her mind to never see Ying Wuji again, even if the demonic seed didn't erupt.

She didn't even care if she still existed.

She felt that she had lost the meaning of her existence.Even if "Hua Chao" disappeared from this world and "Qingyi" reappeared, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Agreeing to this matter is just to give Ying Wuji some peace of mind!

This statement.

It's like a heavy blow to Ying Wuji's stomach, leaving him breathless for a while.

Tang Tang is also not optimistic.

She hasn't even met once.

The ground in the courtyard where she is located has been poured with molten iron, and she can't use earth escape technique to get past it.

The walls of the courtyard are also covered with talismans, completely preventing any possibility of a scammer sneaking in to meet her.

This talisman.

It seems like it won't be taken down.

There is really no breakthrough at all!

Zhao Ning has also entered a full firepower mode.

During the day, he handles court affairs, discusses tactical issues with Zhao Ji and trusted generals in the evening, and directly enters closed-door cultivation at night.

Even Bai Zhi, because she has shown some abnormalities, has become a target for Bai Yi to take away. It is said that her demon bloodline can be stimulated to a greater extent.

All four wives.

All gone.

Ying Wuji can only devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Crazy studying online classes at night.

Crazy training in the Lingwu Divine Realm during the day.

His cultivation may not be progressing rapidly, but he has developed Zhuanxu's body and the bloodline of the Tianren Clan to the extreme.

Even Ying Shi, who accompanies him in training, is a bit confused.

He doesn't understand why Ying Wuji's combat power has made such a leap. Although he has not broken through the realm of a soldier, the strength of his physical body and spirit is at least at the upper level of the realm of a soldier. Even if he cannot reach the realm of unity between man and soldier, he is enough to overpower most experts in the realm of a soldier.

Even himself, it is difficult to defeat him within a hundred moves.

When asked for the reason.

He would only say that he wants to crush Danqing.

I don't know where the grudge and resentment come from.

On the surface, Jiangcheng is extremely calm.

But in fact, the bronze mirror market has reached a white-hot stage.

The degree of fighting is no less than that of a battlefield.

June.

There have been frequent reports of spies from the Kingdom Di and powerful demons appearing on the border.

The Zhao family reacted greatly and immediately mobilized 200,000 elite troops from the Zhao family, hastily prepared food and grass, and immediately set off for the new territory.

As for the city wall made of wooden boards and mud built in the new territory, it has also been filled with mud made of soil and stones.

As for the armies in other places, they have also entered a state of preparedness, fearing that if there are problems in the new territory, the Wei and Han families will take advantage of the situation.

Panic!

The prominent word is panic.

At the end of June.

The border of Qianli.

Anyi.

The envoys of the Ji family gathered together again.

Wang Ji Tong sat leisurely in the main seat, with Nangong Yan standing behind him.

After several months of recuperation, her complexion seemed to have improved a lot, at least she no longer had the sickly feeling of a girl who had undergone an abortion.

Her dark skin has become fair again, and even a hint of blush appeared.

From time to time, she looked at Ji Tong affectionately.

Ji Tong patted her hand on his shoulder and then smiled and glanced at everyone: "Everyone, how many bronze mirrors do you have?"

A smile appeared on Wei Huan's old face: "The Wei family has 27,000!"

"The Han family has 25,000!"

"The Yan Kingdom has 21,000!"

"The Wu Kingdom has 17,000."

"The Flame Kingdom has 10,000."

"Hmm?"

Ji Tong looked deeply at the envoy of the Flame Kingdom. Although the Flame Kingdom has consumed a lot of national power, it is still stronger than the Wu Kingdom.

It shouldn't take out so few bronze mirrors.

The envoy of the Flame Kingdom complained: "In response to the king's words, there have been frequent battles on the Chu Yan border. Although they are just minor skirmishes, Chu Kingdom may launch a major attack at any time. They must also know about the situation in Mingdu. I'm afraid that when July comes, they will launch a full-scale war against our Flame Kingdom.

This time, the coalition forces in Mingdu, please forgive our Flame Kingdom for not participating.

This 10,000 bronze mirrors is already the limit that our Flame Kingdom can offer. Please don't blame the king."

"It's alright!"

Ji Tong nodded slightly: "Be cautious, if the Flame Kingdom falls, it will be a great disadvantage to the entire Ji family alliance. Today, I invited you all here to discuss the matter of reinforcing the Flame Kingdom."

As soon as his words fell, the various families of the Ji surname expressed their willingness to support the Flame Kingdom.

After all, this time only the elites were sent to Mingdu, and the other armies can indeed be deployed to assist the Flame Kingdom in defense.

In this way, when the alliance is established, it can also be used as a reason to put more pressure on the Flame Kingdom.

The Wei and Han families also do not want the Flame Kingdom to fall, because if the Flame Kingdom falls, they will have a large border with the Chu Kingdom.

By then, with Zhao in the north, Chu in the south, and Qianli in the west, they will be exhausted. Even if they join the Ji family alliance, it will be a disastrous situation.

Moreover, the Flame Kingdom is not participating this time.

Anyi, the capital of Mingdu, will not include the Flame Kingdom.When the time comes to hand over this land, there will be no need to cede any benefits to the Flame Kingdom.

Although the envoy from the Flame Kingdom could guess their intentions, he was still extremely grateful: "I am here to express my gratitude to all of you!"

Ji Tong smiled warmly: "We are all family!"

Behind him.

Nangong Yan snorted coldly: "The Li family is really out of line!"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone couldn't help but exchange glances.

Indeed!

The Li family was out of line.

Regarding the matter of the Capital of the Great Ming, apart from the Ji family, only the Li family had come to eavesdrop.

They had thought that the Li family, intimidated by the Zhao family, would completely side with the Ji family. However, they didn't expect that as soon as they left, they would start spreading the news about the Capital of the Great Ming.

This was clearly an attempt to pit the Zhao family against the Ji family, so that they could take advantage of the situation and escape to the Kingdom Qian!

Their plan was very clear.

Unfortunately, their greed was too obvious.

It seemed like they had no intention of playing with the Ji family in the future.

Did they really not fear extermination!

Ji Tong laughed: "It's just the Li family. We can reason with them after July. Actually, whether the Li family reveals the situation at the end of the Capital of the Great Ming or not, it doesn't really matter."

Wei Huan couldn't help but laugh: "Indeed, the Zhao family originally wanted to buy the bronze mirror at a high price, but how could their financial resources compare to ours? They only managed to buy less than a thousand before they received news of the Kingdom Di's movements and gave up. This time, the Capital of the Great Ming is already in our hands."

The Capital of the Great Ming was a strange place.

The strength within it was directly proportional to the clarity of the mirror.

Often, a slight decrease in clarity would have a significant impact on strength.

The Zhao family only purchased less than a thousand high-quality bronze mirrors, and in the end, they even sold them at a high price. This was enough to show that they had completely given up on this operation and were forced to focus all their attention on the new land.

So this time, the Ji family just needed to make a token appearance in the Capital of the Great Ming to completely take it over.

And the Zhao family, they were helpless.

Ji Tong smiled faintly: "But as the saying goes, caution is the key to safety! You all managed to bid for the glass silver mirrors that were sold in the black market of the Capital of the Great Ming, right?"

"We got them!"

Everyone nodded in unison, all recalling the stunningly clear glass silver mirrors.

Before this, they had never seen such clear mirrors.

Although the price was somewhat outrageous, with an average transaction price of fifty thousand taels of silver per piece.

But the Ji family alliance had already suffered enough from their carelessness.

Now, the key was stability.

Each of them had bid for one, to be used by the strongest expert in their family when entering the Capital of the Great Ming.

They couldn't possibly mess this up, could they?

Seeing everyone's confident expressions, Ji Tong felt that their morale should indeed be high, but his expression was still somewhat solemn: "Everyone, we must not be careless! The Zhao family's concession this time was too smooth, they might have a hidden move!"

Wei Huan smiled faintly: "Does the prince think that the Zhao family is pretending to send their elites to the new land, but in fact, they have already prepared tens of thousands of bronze mirrors in the new land, and plan to enter the Capital of the Great Ming from there, sneak into the city, and catch us off guard?"

Upon hearing this.

The envoy from the Flame Kingdom couldn't help but reveal a strange smile: "Nowadays, bronze mirrors are extremely scarce. The total number of bronze mirrors on the market is limited. We, the Ji family, took the initiative and the Flame Kingdom has already reached its limit by providing ten thousand mirrors. How could the Zhao family, who are tight on money, compete?

Didn't the hostage from the Kingdom Wu also reveal that the Mohist guild's bronze craftsmen are all busy building the new city?

They have neither money nor bronze, how could they produce tens of thousands of bronze mirrors?

Moreover, the new land is their main base. If they let the cavalry of the Kingdom Di march straight in and kill the civilians who have just migrated there.

That would inevitably cause a large number of civilians to return to the Wei and Han territories.

If I were Zhao Ji, I would completely give up on the Capital of the Great Ming, and even cede the city, in exchange for stable development in Zhao territory."

"Exactly!"

Han Zhe stroked his beard and smiled: "To resist the attack of the Kingdom Di, at least two hundred thousand elite soldiers are needed. Otherwise... they can't possibly rely on those three mud-built 'strongholds', can they?"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Could there really be someone who believes that a mud wall could withstand the attack of the great demons and the iron cavalry of the Kingdom Di?

No way, right?

……

The end of the month was approaching.

July was just around the corner.

The summer nights were always lively, with the chirping of insects in the grass seemingly never ceasing.

Ying Wuji knocked on the back door of the Shangmo Bookstore, then began pacing back and forth as he waited.

After a long while.

The door creaked open.

Bai Yi looked at her son with a reproachful gaze: "What are you standing there for? Come in quickly!"

Ying Wuji was somewhat surprised: "Is she willing to see me?"

Bai Yi nodded: "She said, the second to last one."

Ying Wuji: "......"
