When the vague aura of the tiger head enveloped all the Eastern Saint Army, all the generals of the Eastern Saint Army were so excited that they were excited, while Huang Liu felt a chill down his spine, and then a chill seeped into his internal organs.

Half-step emperor level!

As one of the leaders of the most mysterious organization in the empire, even if everyone knew that he was the strongest person under the Great Emperor, his cultivation must be extremely powerful, but no one could have expected that he would be a half-step emperor-level powerhouse.

Those with minister-level abilities comprehend the changes in the rules and turn into a Dao body, while those with Qing-level abilities control the laws and can exert the supernatural powers of heaven and earth, which can be called land immortals, but if they go one step further to achieve the emperor level, what kind of terrifying ability will they have?

Nobody knows!

However, judging from the cautious attitude of the three Spirit Clan Beast Kings, their fear of the half-step emperor level has reached the extreme.

"I didn't expect you to be alive. ”

The beast king who turned into a colorful mist opened his mouth, as if he knew the tiger head, but the tiger head's reaction was very strange, and he stared at it for a long time before replying.

"What are you?"

Calling a ninth-level beast king 'something' this disrespectful tone immediately caused countless beast generals to roar angrily, but the tiger head behaved very normally, as if he had just asked 'who are you'.

The Beast King Spirit also seemed to be angry because of the title of the tiger head, but it did not attack, but suppressed it.

"Two hundred years ago, when the Great Emperor of Mankind fought against the Emperor of my race, I saw you. ”

One word shocked the audience!

The Tiger Head, the commander of the Eastern Saint Army, had already seen it with the Beast King Lingyu two hundred years ago, doesn't this prove that the Tiger Head actually lived for two hundred years like the Great Emperor!

Unlike human beings, the lifespan of brute beasts is much longer, especially the life of the spirit race, even if it lives for thousands or even ten thousand years, it is possible, but in the history of the Abandoned Boat Empire, the only human being who is known to have lived for two hundred years is the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat.

And now, such a person, another one has appeared!

Among the people present, only the tiger head himself was not surprised, he just stared at Lingyu indifferently, and replied in an extremely indifferent tone: "Yes? I don't remember you." ”

I don't remember you.

With such a contemptuous answer, even the Beast King's spirit couldn't help but burst into anger.

"Don't remember? It's okay, from now on, you'll remember. ”

The clouds between heaven and earth suddenly changed color, and countless strange lights flashed in the sky, obscuring everyone's vision.

......

"Half-step Emperor level, is this your speculation?" Reggins looked at Qiao Ximing with a suspicious look, obviously not believing his statement.

Qiao Ximing didn't get angry, but said indifferently: "This is just speculation." ”

"On the basis?"

"It's very simple, the surface strength of the empire is too weak!"

Regkins was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, but frowned.

"You and I both know that there are only four races of brute beasts as circulated in the empire, but eight, which means that there are eight barbarian beast emperors on the barbarian star, but there is only one in the human empire, and that is the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat himself......

A cold light suddenly flashed in his scarlet gaze.

"Even if the Eight Beast Clans didn't all participate in the war, do you really believe that the human race, just a newborn Great Emperor, can compete with more than four Barbarian Beast Emperors alone?"

Regkins couldn't answer.

Indeed, although there are rumors in the empire that the Great Emperor defeated the barbarian beasts to preserve the human race, the historical details of two hundred years ago have been completely sealed, and everyone only knows the superficial story, as for how the original war was carried out and how it ended in the end, the real story of this is only known to those people at the highest level of the empire, and these people include the eight leaders of the eight groups of the Black Department.

"The Black Department is an organization established by the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat Emperor himself, as the eight leaders of this organization, these eight people must have the power that others cannot match, only such people can sit firmly in that position at that time, and it is also because of them that the empire can gradually gain a foothold in the human barbarian war, so according to this point to speculate, the half-step emperor level is the only answer. ”

Although there was no direct evidence for Qiao Ximing's statement, Regkins felt that he couldn't refute it, and after thinking for a long time, his eyes finally lit up and asked, "What about now?"

As if feeling that his question was unclear, Regkins quickly added his own question.

"Since it is very likely that they had reached the half-step emperor level cultivation two hundred years ago, what about now......?

His words were stuck in the middle, and it seemed that the second half of the sentence made him suddenly have a strange fear, and the light in his eyes suddenly turned into nervousness.

Qiao Ximing glanced at him.

"Are you asking if it's possible for them to go one step further and achieve ...... Emperor?"

Regkins didn't answer, but his face showed that he was thinking exactly what he was thinking at the moment.

However, Qiao Ximing shook his head.

"Impossible. ”

Regkins raised his eyebrows: "Why? It's been two hundred years, since they were able to achieve a half-step emperor level at that time, wouldn't it be possible to go one step further and break through that short half-step in two hundred years?"

"When the adults were driven to the Inhuman Capital, their cultivation had already reached the level of Qing, right? Is it the middle stage, or the high stage?"

Reginston understood what Qiao Ximing meant, but he immediately retorted: "It's not the same thing, although it took me a hundred years to break through to the peak of the Qing level, but ......"

"But isn't it even more difficult to go from a half-step emperor level to a real emperor level?"

Regkins was dumbfounded.

Seeing that Rui Jins looked like he wanted to find evidence to refute it, but couldn't say why, Qiao Ximing shook his head and said, "In fact, the most important thing is not the difficulty of being promoted to the emperor level. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't your lord ever think that the cultivation of the eight leaders of the eight groups of the Black Department could reach that level two hundred years ago? You must know that at that time, the knowledge about cultivation was only just popularized!"

Regkins' eyes widened, revealing a sudden and deeper doubt.

"I don't know if you've ever heard the story of the Seven Sages. ”

“...... I know some. ”

"Then you know how the Seven Sages were born, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Qiao Ximing turned his head sideways, looked directly at Rui Jins's vertical eyes, and said, "In that case, where did the cultivation of the eight leaders of the eight groups of the Black Department come from?"

"You mean ......"

Looking at the appearance of Rui Kins gasping cold, Qiao Ximing smiled: "Since this is all my speculation, adults might as well continue to listen to my speculation and see if it makes sense." ”

"The establishment of the Black Ministry is the central means for the Emperor to control the entire empire, so this organization must be his henchmen, and since he is a confidant, his loyalty is naturally undoubted, since this is the case, then if there is a method that can make them quickly have power, the Emperor will definitely use it. ”

"The story of the Seven Sages shows that the Empire does have this method that allows people to quickly grasp power, so on top of the previous premise, it is very likely that the eight leaders of the Black Department have also used a similar method to inherit some incomparable power from ordinary people, and it is more secure than the power inherited by the Seven Sages, in other words, there are fewer side effects. ”

"The Seven Sages have achieved the inheritance of the seven minister-level peak abilities, but they have paid the price of their lifespan, almost every generation of the Seven Sages has a much shorter lifespan than normal people, and compared to them, the eight leaders of the eight groups of the Black Department are different, they have lived for two hundred years, which means that the price they pay when they gain power is not the same as that of the Seven Sages. ”

Regarding the information about the black department, Qiao Ximing learned it from Lan Huang's soul a few years ago, when he knew that in addition to the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat, there was more than one human who had lived for two hundred years, and his and Ben Nord's first reaction was the same as that of Regins, that is, what level of their cultivation had reached.

But as time went by, one thing happened, and Qiao Ximing got more clues.

"Yes, they all probably possess more power than the Seven Sages, and they don't need to spend their lives to maintain this power, but that doesn't mean that there is no price to use this power!"

"As for the evidence...... The former jackal leader Li Qiu is the evidence. ”

Regkins frowned, "What do you mean?"

Qiao Ximing sneered: "Adults may not know Li Qiu's true identity, unlike the other seven black leaders, his identity can be traced back to a young man in a second-level town and city in the Xuanwu Domain decades ago. ”

Regkins was stunned: "You mean he has children and grandchildren?"

"No, I mean that young man is the jackal!"

"How is that possible!?"

Qiao Ximing looked at Rui Jins without a joking expression: "Although it is unbelievable, this is the truth, that is, because of this incident, I am convinced that although the eight leaders of the eight groups of the Black Department have great power, this power is not without a price, and this price is likely to be the real means for the Great Emperor to control their loyalty!"

"And because of this, it is impossible for their cultivation to go further, because this must also be part of the price they have to pay!"

......

Woohoo!

There was a strange and inexplicable sound in the colorful light, which made goosebumps appear on everyone's bodies, and then in a roar like a tiger beast, the brilliance finally faded.

Huang Liu and the others finally regained their sight, and they saw a colorful shadow suddenly retract into the sky above the Spirit Clan's army, and then a burst of laughter rang out.

"Hahahaha! Sure enough, sure enough, ......"

The tiger head looked at Lingyu coldly, and there seemed to be a cold light flowing on the mask.

But the Spirit Beast King didn't care, but suddenly stopped laughing, and a wave of killing intent suddenly struck.

"It's been two hundred years, and your cultivation still hasn't made an inch. You guys...... Sure enough, it's just a bunch of puppets!"
