Emperor Ming was sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand and reading it exquisitely, the sound of pushing the door when Chen Ning entered the study disturbed him, his eyes moved away from the book, and fell on Chen Ning, who was striding in from the outside, with a look of surprise on his face, for Chen Ning's sudden visit, His Majesty the Emperor seemed a little surprised.

His Majesty the Emperor slowly put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the national protector to come back so soon, please take a seat." ”

Chen Ning sat down opposite His Majesty the Emperor, looked at Emperor Ming with some surprise, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Your Majesty's complexion is getting better and better, and it will not be a problem to live to be five hundred years old." ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled happily and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide the national protector, a few days ago, I took a precious heavenly and earthly treasure, and then with the help of the emperor, I successfully broke through. ”

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Chen Ning entered the topic and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I came back this time for something important and needed the help of the Ming Dynasty." ”

His Majesty the Emperor also understood in his heart that Chen Ning suddenly ran back for help, and the matter must be a little serious, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "If there is anything to say directly, you are now the protector of my Ming Dynasty, and your status is transcendent, and your business is also the business of my Ming Dynasty." ”

"I want an army, an elite army." Chen Ning said.

"You want an army? What to do with it? Is it going to war? His Majesty the Emperor was full of differences.

Chen Ning nodded and said, "Yes, it's indeed a war." Next, Chen Ning told His Majesty the Emperor what happened in the Jason Kingdom, and said that after his fiancée was injured by someone from the Aquila Kingdom, there was a thick murderous aura between his eyebrows.

After listening to Chen Ning's statement, Emperor Ming's face was also really ugly, and he was very angry about this, and said in a deep voice: "How can this be true, this Heavenly Eagle Kingdom is so rampant that it dares to treat my Ming Dynasty Protector as nothing." ”

"Your Majesty, I will destroy the Aquila Kingdom, so I need an elite army, and then send them to the Jason Kingdom through the teleportation array, and the spirit stones consumed will be generated by me." Chen Ning said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Emperor Ming hesitated slightly, and said: "Chen Ning, you have the right to arbitrarily transfer any million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty, and you don't need to report it to anyone, but we will talk about this matter tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for news from His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow." Chen Ning didn't talk nonsense much, and after chatting for a while, he got up and left.

After Chen Ning left, Emperor Ming's brows were also tightly furrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he then put the book back in its place, got up and left here.

After Chen Ning left the study, he went straight back to the Tomorrow Palace, and from a distance, he saw the Praetorian Guards belonging to the Tomorrow Hall guarding here like stone sculptures.

This is the Tomorrow Hall that belongs to Chen Ning's identity as a national teacher, although others are often not in the Ming Dynasty, but the guards of the Tomorrow Hall are still not relaxed, and there are people who insist on guarding the surroundings day and night, and there are people in the Tomorrow Hall every day to clean.

"I've seen the National Protector!"

When Chen Ning passed by the guards guarding the Tomorrow Palace, all the guards knelt down on one knee and saluted, with respectful expressions.

Chen Ning held the little white tiger with his head held high, and strode towards the gate of the Tomorrow Palace, there was no need for him to open the door personally, the two guards guarding the door immediately opened the door to let Chen Ning enter the main hall, and then gently closed the door.

"Slave and maid, see Lord Protector of the Country." As soon as Chen Ning entered the Qin Heavenly Palace, several beautiful maids who looked like the country and the fragrance of heaven immediately bent down and saluted. Several of them were the maids of the Tomorrow Palace, and they stayed in the hall all day, even if Chen Ning was not there.

"You all go about your own business and leave me alone." Chen Ning said to a few maids, and then went directly back to the place where he rested, gently put the little white tiger in his arms on the bed, and sat alone at the table to think quietly.

He knew that it would cost a lot of five-colored spirit stones to transport the army through the Space Gate, but these days he had killed a lot of powerhouses of the Xuan King class, and obtained a lot of five-colored spirit stones from the space rings seized from them, and the total number of five-colored spirit stones obtained added up to a lot, so there was no shortage of spirit stones.

Now, Chen Ning was thinking about how many people should be transported over with the teleportation array, although the number of people could not be too many, but at least they had the strength to destroy the Aquila Kingdom alone without using any power from the Jason Kingdom, and at the same time, they should also have enough deterrent power.

"Lord Protector of the Country, please drink tea!" A maid brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Chen Ning.

Chen Ning took a sip of the tea gently, and at this time, the voice of a guard came from outside: "Tell the Lord Protector of the Country, the third prince asks to see!" ”

As soon as he heard that Qin Ji was coming, Chen Ning immediately got up and greeted him personally, and when the two met, Qin Ji laughed and said: "Brother Chen Ning, sure enough, it's you, I just heard someone shouting to protect the country, I guessed that it was probably you, but I didn't expect it to be really guessed by me." ”

Chen Ning smiled: "Come in and say, don't stand outside." ”

The two of them entered the Tomorrow Hall, and as soon as they sat down at a large table, Qin Ji couldn't wait to ask: "Chen Ning, I didn't expect you to come back so soon, have the things at home been handled properly, why don't you stay in the Ming Dynasty for a while this time." ”

Chen Ning shook his head and said, "As soon as one wave is settled, another wave of incidents will come again, and I am here to borrow troops." ”

"Borrow soldiers!" Qin Ji was taken aback and asked: "How strong is the enemy's strength, even Xiao Tian and the five of them can't be even, every national teacher of my Ming Dynasty is carefully selected, if the strength of Xiao Tian and the five of them is placed outside, they will definitely be able to achieve the advantage of one enemy and two enemies." ”

Next, Chen Ning told Qin Ji the whole story, and after listening to Chen Ning's explanation, Qin Ji's expression was also full of anger, and he said in a deep voice: "This Heavenly Eagle Kingdom is so excessive, it is true that it should be destroyed, but Chen Ning, if you want to send an army through the teleportation array, the cost of spirit stones is too great, I think you are still calling some national teachers to help, you can still destroy the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, no matter how bad it is, it will let him exist in name only!" ”

Chen Ning shook his head gently, how could he not think of such a simple idea as Qin Ji, if it was just to destroy the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, he could do it with only himself and the five of Xiaotian, it just took a lot of effort, he went to great lengths to borrow troops, and he was willing to spend a lot of spirit stones to transport the army over, the idea was naturally not so simple.

"Qin Ji, tell me how many spirit stones you will need to consume if you use the teleportation array to transport the army." Chen Ning asked.

"It takes six spirit stones to maintain the teleportation array at a time, presumably you also know that you need a steady supply of energy to support the teleportation array, if the speed through the teleportation array is fast enough, the time of the supply of six spirit stones can probably allow six hundred people to pass, so calculated, a five-colored spirit stone can only allow a hundred people to pass, and now you always understand how terrifying the consumption of using the teleportation array to transport the army is."

"One spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred people, and a hundred spirit stones are ten thousand people, and the loss is indeed very large." Chen Ning muttered in a low voice.

"Of course it's big, I think you better give up this idea, the five-color spirit stone is not as worthless as the Xuanshi and the spade, a hundred five-color spirit stones can only transport 10,000 troops, and the 10,000 army is too little, you can't do anything at all, you might as well bring a few strong people to fight over."

Chen Ning smiled slightly: "Although the loss is very large, it is still within my tolerance." ”

Qin Ji was stunned, stared at Chen Ning with some suspicion, and said, "Chen Ning, how many five-colored spirit stones do you have in your kid's hands?" ”

"How many five-color spirit stones can you exchange for a fifth-order demon core?" Chen Ning did not answer the rhetorical question.

Qin Ji thought for a while and said: "The fifth-order demon core is very precious, and the demon beasts with the strength of the Xuan King are not only difficult to kill, but also difficult to encounter, because the fifth-order demon beasts are generally gathered in the depths of the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, and the few who are scattered outside are very rare, and that area is a forbidden area for us humans, and all the Xuan kings who have entered the depths of the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges have died, so the number of fifth-order demon cores that are circulating outside will be very rare." Therefore, the value is hundreds or thousands of times higher than the five-color spirit stone, if you want to exchange the fifth-order demon core for the five-color spirit stone, I can't say a specific proportional number, it is probably hundreds to hundreds, if someone is in a hurry, they will even take out thousands of them in exchange. ”

"If the fifth-order demon core is not enough, then I will exchange it for the sixth-order demon core." Chen Ning muttered to himself.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Ning found Emperor Ming and once again raised the same question he had raised yesterday.

This time, His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile on his face: "Chen Ning, yesterday I reported this matter to the Imperial Ancestor, and the Imperial Ancestor sent an order to me, my Ming Dynasty can provide you with the spirit stones needed by the army below one million to pass through the teleportation array, if it exceeds this number, then the excess part needs to be replenished by yourself." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ning's face was overjoyed, His Majesty the King's words had saved him a lot of spirit stones.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous assistance." Chen Ning did not shirk and accepted it decisively.

His Majesty the Emperor laughed a few times and said: "My Ming Dynasty currently has five of the most elite legions, each of which has two million people, four of which are guarding the border in all directions, and the last one is stationed outside the imperial city, known as the Oriental Sword Legion, which is responsible for the important task of guarding the imperial city of my Ming Dynasty, Chen Ning, if you want a large number of troops, you can draw it from the Eastern Sword Legion." ”

"Well, without further ado, I'll draw troops now, but only one of a hundred thousand troops will be enough." Chen Ning looked impatient, an army of 500,000 is enough.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said: "Chen Ning, we don't have to go in person about the transfer of troops, I will immediately send a holy decree to the Eastern Divine Sword Legion stationed outside the imperial city, and directly ask them to bring 500,000 of the most elite soldiers over, but it is not so easy to transfer hundreds of thousands of troops, so it will take a little time." ”

Chen Ning nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll wait here for news first." ”

After the discussion of the matter, Chen Ning told Emperor Ming about Daewoo's attempt to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to the king of Daewoo, as for whether the two countries can really form an alliance, this is not a matter of Chen Ning's concern.

Then Chen Ning and Emperor Ming chatted a few words in the main hall and left, and returned to the hall of tomorrow, and after calming down, they called a maid and said with a serious face: "I want to cultivate for a while, you go and inform the guards outside, don't see anyone until I wake up, no one is allowed to disturb me." ”

"Slaves obey!" The waitress replied respectfully, and immediately retreated to inform the people outside.

Chen Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and took a deep breath, then took out the Xuanzun skeleton from the space ring, and looked at the Xuanzun skeleton carefully with a solemn expression.

Xuanzun's skeleton is about two meters high, the bones are thick and strong, just from the skeleton you can see that the owner in front of him must be a burly body, the skeleton is snow-white, white almost transparent, crystal clear, exuding a faint treasure light, it looks like a treasure of the world, and on the surface of the skeleton, there is a layer of faint streamer flashing, as if mercury is circulating on the surface.

This is the second time Chen Ning has seen the Xuanzun skeleton, but it is different from the last time, perhaps because his strength has broken through to the realm of Xuanwang, he can already clearly feel the vast and majestic energy contained in the skeleton, as if it is like a vast ocean.

Chen Ning took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down, then closed his eyes and communicated with the sword spirit of the Ziqing Twin Swords: "Zishuang, Qingsuo, you can help me refine this Xuanzun skeleton into the power of chaos." ”

"Yes, master!"

Zishuang and Qingsuo did not hesitate at all, and immediately took action, condensing into two faint phantoms above Chen Ning's head, respectively a male baby wearing a purple robe, and a female baby wearing a cyan robe, the male is handsome, and the female is pretty, as if they are a pair of fairy couples made in heaven.

Purple Frost and Qingsuo stretched out their hands at the same time, and Xuanzun's skeleton seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and flew up directly, landing in the middle of Purple Frost and Qingsuo.

Purple Frost Qingsuo and the two of them gave birth to their arms at the same time, and a rich purple light and blue light emanated from their palms, wrapping the Xuanzun skeleton inside for refining.

The speed at which the purple green sword spirit refined the Xuanzun skeleton was very fast, and in less than two hours, the Xuanzun skeleton turned into a trace of gray energy and entered Chen Ning's body, and finally entrenched in Chen Ning's dantian.

"Master, use the purple and green sword to refine the power of chaos." Zishuang's voice sounded in Chen Ning's head, and the humanoid phantom they had turned into also disappeared above Chen Ning's head.

Chen Ning immediately did so, and this time it took him two hours to finally turn the power of chaos into energy that he controlled.

Then Chen Ning immediately entered the inner vision, and the situation in his body immediately presented a picture that appeared in his mind very clearly, only to see that at his dantian, two pale black energies were slowly wandering, exuding a palpitating aura.

Last time in the Immortal Valley, Chen Ning refined two earth-level soldiers into two traces of chaotic power, and only used one trace of chaotic power to strengthen the physical body, and the other trace was not used, plus the trace obtained by refining the Xuanzun skeleton, it was exactly two threads.

Looking at the two strands of gray energy suspended in the dantian, Chen Ning hesitated slightly, and asked cautiously, "If I use the power of chaos to strengthen my physical body now, there shouldn't be much of a problem." "Last time, because Chen Ning didn't know the situation, he rashly used a trace of chaotic power to strengthen his physical body, and as a result, he suffered a lot, and Rao was unwilling to bear it with his willpower.

"Not anymore, master, you can rest assured to use the power of chaos to temper your body, although there will be pain, but it will no longer have an impact on the master." It was Qing Suo who replied, and his voice was delicate and sweet, very beautiful.

"That's good!" Chen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was completely relaxed, and he immediately controlled a wisp of chaotic power and began to further temper his body.

As the power of chaos swam through his body, Chen Ning really found that his body was no longer as fragile as last time, and now when the power of chaos passed through his body, it was no longer able to destroy his body, although it would still bring him a pain, but it was still within Chen Ning's tolerance, as the Ziqing Sword Spirit said, it would not affect him.

As the power of chaos slowly moved through his body under Chen Ning's control, Chen Ning's body was also strengthening at an incredibly fast speed, even the meridians, bones, and even the internal organs were strengthened.

When the power of chaos ran in his body for a circle, Chen Ning's physical strength had increased to a level again, and he could clearly feel that his body was now much stronger than before, while the power of chaos was only used by one-third.

Chen Ning didn't stop, and continued to run the power of chaos to swim around in his body, and when he came down after three laps, he finally consumed this trace of chaos power.

Chen Ning opened his eyes, jumped off the bed with a dexterous leap, landed with his feet steadily, and then kneaded his body while looking, he felt that his current body was twice as strong as before, although it still maintained the flexibility it used to be, but its defense was probably much harder than fine iron.

"Zishuang, Qingsuo, can I use the power of chaos with my current physical strength?" Chen Ning asked at the Ziqing Sword Spirit.

"No, master, your current body has indeed improved a lot, but there is still a distance from using the power of chaos, and you still need to refine some more power of chaos to strengthen your body to the minimum requirement of using the power of chaos, but you can only use this impure power of chaos." Zishuang said.

Chen Ning sighed secretly, it seemed that it would be impossible to successfully use the power of chaos in a short period of time.

"Since that's the case, then it's useless to keep the trace of chaotic power in my dantian, just refine it together, and it can also make the strength of the body go to the next level." Chen Ning did as soon as he thought of it, sat cross-legged on the bed again, and used the last trace of chaotic power in the dantian to strengthen his body.

When Chen Ning refined the second trace of chaotic power, it was already afternoon, and as soon as his consciousness returned to his body, he keenly noticed that a maid was standing quietly outside the door.

Chen Ning got out of bed, checked his body with satisfaction, couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, and muttered, "With my current physical strength, I'm afraid that even a high-level great mystic master can't hurt me in the slightest."

If this continues, one day, my body will be able to reach a point of terror that even King Xuan can't hurt in the slightest. ”

Although it is a great pity not to be able to use the power of chaos, the enhancement of the body also represents an increase in overall strength, which is also something to be happy about.

Chen Ning walked out of the room with a happy mood, and when he saw Chen Ning coming out of it, the maid waiting outside the door immediately saluted and said, "Tell the Lord of the Protector of the Country, several generals of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion ask to see you." ”

Chen Ning's eyes flashed, and he said, "Please let them in!" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, three generals in armor walked in from outside, three of them had resolute faces, one of them was an old man over sixty years old, and the other two were middle-aged men of about forty, wearing a silver-white armor, and their bodies exuded a killing aura, with thick blood.

"I've seen the National Protector!" The three of them came to Chen Ning's side and said in unison at the same time.

"The three generals are exempt, I don't know how to call them!" Chen Ning smiled and looked kind.

"The last general, Qin Wuming, is the deputy commander of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion!" The veteran general spoke first, and then the middle-aged men standing to his left and right also reported their names at the same time.

"The last general, Qin Wutian, is the Grand Governor of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion!"

"The last general, Qin Wujian, is the Grand Governor of the Eastern Divine Sword Legion!"

"Three generals, presumably His Majesty the Emperor has already told you about the matter." Chen Ning said with a smile, but there was a muttering in his heart, he didn't expect that these three people were all surnamed Qin, could they be relatives of the emperor?

The deputy commander of the Oriental Excalibur Legion nodded, and said, "Lord Protector, His Majesty the King has made things clear to us, 500,000 elite troops of the Oriental Excalibur have come outside the Imperial City and can set off at any time, and our father and son will assist the Lord of the Protector and go to the Kingdom of Jason through the teleportation array!" ”

The look of surprise in Chen Ning's eyes flashed, he didn't expect that the three people in front of him turned out to be father and son, and judging from their appearance, there was no strangeness at all.

But immediately, he took a good look at the three people in front of him, in front of his powerful divine sense, the strength of the three people would not be concealed in the slightest, as if they were naked in Chen Ning's eyes.

However, to Chen Ning's surprise, these three people turned out to be powerhouses of the Xuan King class, among them, the old man Qin Wuming was a three-turn Xuan King, and Qin Wutian and Qin Wujian were both one-turn Xuan Kings.

Chen Ning arched his hand and said: "Then trouble the three of you to run with me, since the army has been prepared, then without further ado, let's set off now." ”

"Yes!"
