Chapter Ninety-Seven: A War Without the Smoke of Gunpowder

"That's... Gao Gaoyuan...?"

"How did he... How did you fly out?"

"It's... Did he lose...?"

"How is this possible?!Gao Yuan is the eighth of the top ten disciples in the inner court!"

In the cultivation square, the eyes of all the disciples once again turned to the place where Gao Yuan flew out upside down, and at this moment, their pupils suddenly contracted, and a terrifying horror finally appeared on their faces.

There, Zhou Zhen's figure appeared there at some point, and the whole person maintained a posture of punching out.

He slowly raised his head, and the corners of his mouth raised a faint arc: "One move." ”

Before the words fell, Zhou Zhen turned around in a dashing manner, ignoring the people who were in shock, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight towards the gravity cultivation ground.

"Yo yo, yes! I used the Wind ability so quickly to such an extent, tsk, it's amazing!"

Mo Lao's admiration came from his mind, and Zhou Zhen himself was also very happy. This is the first time he has used it against the enemy since he obtained "Wind", and although it is still very jerky, it is still quite smooth.

"I didn't expect that the elementalization of this "wind" ability can not only dodge the attacks of those who have not cultivated the power of the meridians, but also allow me to enter a state of stealth for a short time. ”

"What kind of ghost stealth state, that just makes you a "wind", although you can't see your body, but as long as those who have cultivated the power of the meridians, a punch into the wind can still hit you. Mo Lao said disdainfully.

"Moreover, the techniques you use are extremely jerky, even unfamiliar, and if it weren't for a gust of wind blowing away, you wouldn't know how to elementalize yourself. ”

Mo Lao said: "I told you that the ability of natural species can not only make you wind, but also allow you to create wind, so you don't have to wait for that gust of wind to blow you before you are elementalized, you can completely create the wind, and then elementalize it." ”

Zhou Zhen was very instructive and said, "Then how can we create it?"

"This can only be honed in battle through frequent use, and once you've mastered the ability, you'll be able to create wind as you please. ”

Mo Lao smiled: "Actually, the value of the ability is not how difficult it is to obtain, but how to use it, cultivate it, and develop it. ”

"As long as you do your homework in all aspects, even if it's a beast ability, it's an extremely domineering and powerful way to fight the enemy. ”

"I've heard of a powerful man with beast abilities, and he developed his abilities so exquisitely that he actually blasted a mountain with one punch, which is really terrifying. ”

Zhou Zhen was so shocked that his teeth fell off: "Just relying on his ability, he blasted the mountain peak away......?"

The ability of the beast species, even if it is developed to the extreme, it is also the power of the physical body, and Zhou Zhen's current physical strength has made him feel quite domineering and strong, but even so, he can fly a stone the size of an adult is considered very remarkable, right? But that person has blasted the whole mountain, this gap is really ......

Mo Lao said with a smile: "Don't think about it, that level is still far away from you, and the task now is to improve your strength to the greatest and fastest speed." ”

"Hmm. ”

Mo Lao is right, born in the world, not only to be far-sighted, to define the future goals, but also to learn to do a good job in the present, no matter how ambitious the goal is, it must also start from the present.

The so-called journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. That's it.

According to what Mo Lao said, after he finished his affairs here, he would go to Abbot Mountain in the East China Sea to participate in the biennial recruitment activity of Abbot Mountain.

The minimum standard for abbot Shannaxin is to reach the Wushen level before the age of eighteen. Such a strict standard almost rejected the so-called genius disciples in the entire Xijin Dynasty.

Think about it, at that time, the young generation in the abbot mountain, the lowest strength, is actually a strong man at the Wushen level......

This level of strength, in any strength of the Xijin Dynasty, is a mainstay-like existence, but among these top forces in the famous continent, they are only worthy of being disciples, and the level is still the lowest, which is really embarrassing......

Zhou Zhen didn't think much about it, and walked straight into the gravity training ground.

......

In the palace.

An elderly eunuch reluctantly presented a pamphlet to Yuan Benchu.

The eunuch was already old, and his originally thin voice had become hoarse: "Your Majesty, this is the booklet presented by the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, saying that the various ministers and heads of forces who will attend the banquet on the day of the feast, as well as the disciples of the sect they brought. ”

Although he could guess who would participate, Yuan Benchu still took a symbolic look. Then he made an unexpected discovery.

"When did the Golden Gate Group come out with this disciple? The strength of the two-star martial artist doesn't seem to be the strongest disciple in their sect, right?"

Yuan Benchu snorted coldly: "All the forces have sent the strongest disciples in the sect to attend, this is the respect for my royal family, the Golden Gate Group has done this, doesn't it take my royal family in its eyes?!"

Seeing that Yuan Benchu was a little angry, the old eunuch was not in a hurry, obviously he had experienced this situation too many times, he said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, focus on the dragon body." The Gammon Group has always been cautious in doing things, and it certainly doesn't mean that. Your Majesty, although he didn't bring the strongest disciples, didn't the head elder of the Golden Gate Group attend?"

The old eunuch said with a smile: "The king doesn't have to be angry with the Golden Gate Group, presumably the king himself knows very well that in the Xijin Dynasty, the most unlikely thing to do irrational things is, first, to respect the king, and second, to be the passage of the Kinmen Group." ”

The old eunuch continued: "This time, the Golden Gate Group did not send its strongest disciple, but brought this young man named Tai Rate, who must have his own reasons and ideas. The king can rest assured. ”

Yuan Benchu gradually let go of his anger when he heard this, this old eunuch has been with him for decades, and now what he thinks, the old eunuch is the same as himself, he knows it very well, every word he says, every word basically speaks to his heart.

"I hope so. ”

Yuan Benchu smiled slightly, glanced at the old eunuch, and said, "It's been decades, and you still know me best." ”

The old eunuch also smiled and said: "Hehe, after all, the old slave has been with the king for decades, and what the king thinks in his heart, the old slave naturally knows better than others." ”

The old eunuch knew that this king had always been extremely cautious, or rather suspicious by nature, and ruthless, and that decades ago, when he had just succeeded the king, he assassinated and poisoned the descendants of the royal family who he thought were plotting for his throne one by one because of his suspicious character.

Only King Gongqing, who has never touched the royal power, and King Qingqing, who is dull by nature, are left.

And the king's suspicious temperament is getting heavier and heavier as he gets older.

The suspicious nature is getting heavier and heavier, not only because of old age and decay, but also because of illness. There are also their own heirs who have grown up and gradually escaped their control, and they have formed gangs for the sake of the orthodox heir to the throne, and even plotted for the royal power in their own hands.

Therefore, Yuan Benchu is also becoming more and more sensitive to the current outside world's discussions about royal power or the royal family. In the past, he didn't pay attention to the gossip of these people, but now he often sends people to collect these remarks, and sometimes even goes to the private service at the expense of his weak body.

However, it was also because of this that Yuan Benchu discovered that the eldest prince Yuan Yang was the first to form a party for personal gain in order to succeed to the throne, and then the second prince Yuan Yang was also forced to enrich his wings and recruit talents and righteous people.

Yuan Benchu was angry about this, but he was helpless. He also knew that it was inevitable, and that this kind of thing was going to happen sooner or later.

However, although Yuan Benchu was very angry at the two who looked like they were vying for the heir to the throne, he turned a deaf ear to Yuan Yilin's surveillance of the two princes, and was even a little happy.

Because he knew that the reason why Yuan Yilin did this was because Liu Tianming and Li Yongbo killed the young man he was thinking of, so Yuan Yilin still spoke ill of Li Yongbo to him in his spare time.

In Yuan Benchu's eyes, Yuan Yilin's actions were just because of her own affection, and she did not openly support the prince, so Yuan Benchu was not angry, and sometimes he felt that this little princess was very cute.

He thought, since Yilin's heart is rippling and he has reached the age of trial marriage, he might as well give him a private horse at the feast of my 80th birthday.

"By the way, old Dengtou, you and the ministers who participated in the banquet all said that Princess Yilin had been promoted to a fourth-level magician, and asked them to prepare a gift for the princess, but it should be heavier, hehe. ”

The old eunuch was shocked when he heard this, and seemed to hear something, and then said with great joy: "Yes, the old slave will do it." ”

......

The eldest prince, Yuan Yang's mansion.

In the conference hall, Liu Tianming, Li Yongbo, Yan Hanyang, etc. from the eldest prince's faction are all discussing here.

When everyone talked about the Kinmen Group bringing that Tai rate, Yuan Yang's reaction was exactly the same as Yuan Benchu's, but the others were relieved when they heard that it was the Kinmen Group. After listening to everyone's explanation, Yuan Yang also calmed down.

At this moment, a piece of news came, saying that Yuan Yilin had advanced to the fourth level of magician, and he was happy and would celebrate together at the banquet that day.

The others were calm and indifferent when they heard the news, but Liu Tianming's face was full of shock.

He explained, "Guys, I think you already know about Princess Yilin's advancement to the fourth level of magician, right?"

"Yes, that was seven or eight days ago, and at that time I said that I would find another time to celebrate, but I didn't expect Yuan Benchu to be so anxious. ”

Liu Tianming smiled: "You may not know what our king really wants to tell us. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this: "What does the king want to tell us?"

Liu Tianming smiled slightly: "Generally speaking, the birthday banquet and the celebration banquet are two different things, and they should be divided into two things to celebrate. ”

"That's when the king is going to book Princess Yilin for the concubine!"

"What!?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and then said: "It turns out that the king wants to say this, but this is normal, Princess Yilin has also reached marriageable age." ”

Yan Hanyang said happily: "If we can pull Princess Yilin over, it will be a great help for what we do, I will go back, and I will ask Feng'er to prepare the best gift!"

Liu Tianming shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not the most important thing. ”

"The most important thing is that the king wants to tell us......" As he spoke, a glint crossed Liu Tianming's eyes.

"He acquiesced in the fight between the two princes!"

"The battle for the throne has begun!"
