Chapter 10: The Fall
Pojun's hair was windless and automatic, slowly swaying in the air. In the dark bedroom, a little mysterious silver light flew in the air, as if a mysterious galaxy had fallen into the room. He opened his eyes slightly, and the room suddenly appeared with two more distant rays of light, which contained infinite wisdom, as if he had insight into all the mysteries of the universe.
At this time, it had been half a month since he sent Hongling back, and although the elders didn't understand how Her Majesty came back, they could only act as if nothing had happened. It's just that the security force in the royal court has tripled, which shows how dissatisfied the elders are in their hearts.
Faced with such a situation, Hongling could only smile helplessly. Now in the body is naturally the queen herself, even though the Venerable and Po Jun were talking to each other, she could hear it very clearly in the body. Although he didn't know how high the cultivation of the broken army was, Hongling understood that a character like him absolutely disdained lying.
Knowing that things were hopeless, she took her mind off the water of her soul and began to concentrate on dealing with the reproaches of the royal court like a tide. Hongling didn't know what these princes and nobles in the royal court thought, and Prince Philo Hongjing's thoughts were known to passers-by. I was just too lazy to pay attention to it before, but I didn't expect these people to treat themselves as paper tigers, and it seemed that it was time for them to know who was the real master of the Burning Star Empire.
The elders naturally knew what these ministers were thinking, but Hongling, as the queen, couldn't even solve this matter. Then her abilities are really up for debate. Therefore, they did not intervene in this matter, but held the mood of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, carefully watching how their elected queen was going to fight.
Hongjing naturally noticed the changes in the queen, and looking at the decisive Hongling in the court, she always had a bad feeling in her heart. The gun shoots the first bird, and she still understands the reason why the tree is big and the wind is blowing. This time, Hong Jing made a lot of moves in the open and secret. If Hongling wants to make an example of the monkey, he naturally wants to start from her. In this way, it not only appears that Hongling is fair and selfless, but also can deter the ministers in the court.
Even if she didn't want to admit it anymore, Hongjing knew in her heart that if Hongling really wanted to deal with her, she wouldn't even have a chance to resist. Although the elders didn't show anything, as long as they were there, Hongling was the object she would never be able to surpass. If it can completely change the history of the Burning Star Empire. What would that look like?
Po Jun was still cultivating at that time, so naturally he couldn't know about the situation of deceit in the royal court. At this time, the seven-star divine consciousness space in his body had collapsed, and the Xindi divine consciousness space was still under construction. The momentum of Po Jun's whole person has not changed from before, but if you feel it carefully, you can find that there is a small clear stream around him.
After practicing in the room for half a month, dust fell in many places. But his surroundings were still spotless, as if he was isolated from this space. During this period, the people in the hotel were puzzled. But due to the orders before the breaking army, no one came up to check.
Reed came a few times, but never got a response, so he had to deal with the changes in the underground dynasty due to the change of the royal court. During this time, everything in the dynasty had to be approved by others, and Reed had become a rising figure in the dynasty. It's mixed with wind and water.
But he was a smart man and knew who had given him all this, and Reed knew in his heart that he could take back his rights at any time if he wanted to. From beginning to end, he did not have a definite name in the underground dynasty, but only a person who assisted in the work of breaking the army with the tacit consent of his honor.
Therefore, although Reed has a desire to continue to climb up, he still does not dare to act rashly. Sometimes it's much better to do nothing than to do something wrong. He understands that. I know that what I have to do at this stage is to collect information, and I don't have to think about anything else. If he gets useful information, I believe that Pojun will not treat him badly in the end.
And in this small half a month, it really allowed him to get some useful news. Although it is still unclear how powerful the organization behind the lone wolf is, he unexpectedly learns the name of that organization - the Dark Palace. Reed's brains were so clever that he quickly understood the meaning of the organization's name by literally, and by linking it to the identity of the person hiding in the antique shop.
At the same time, he also became suspicious of the identity of the broken army. Reed never thought that Breaking Army was an ordinary golden finger, and if he was only doing this business, he would never have the kind of momentum like the Supreme. It was an imposing force that didn't even have a lord, and the princes and nobles of the Burning Star Empire were just as pitiful and humble as ants in front of him.
Reed knew very well in his heart that this kind of person was definitely not something he could guess. Presumably, he came to the Burning Star Empire for the organization behind the lone wolf. In this way, he also has a certain relationship with the zodiac. It's just that there is no holy warrior called Pingyang in the Zodiac, is he using a pseudonym?
Reed guessed almost everything, but he would never have imagined that this person with the pseudonym Pingyang was the famous Star Source God Buddha. Even if the Burning Star Empire is closed, it will still know the name of the Star Source God. His courage in dealing with the Soul of the Reverse Star alone is admirable, and his two brothers were also in the limelight in that battle.
It's the thirteenth time this month, and Reed hopes to get a response this time, he stood at the door of his room, thinking helplessly. Just as he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, he heard a familiar voice from the room: "Reed?" Don't knock on the door, just come in. ”
Po Jun sat comfortably on the sofa, and the surrounding environment was spotless. As soon as he woke up, he had his room cleaned. Of course, before that he had put away the gems all over the ground. These gems are very valuable even in other places, although he doesn't care about this money, but he doesn't burn his hands when he has more money, and it is better to keep it here than in someone else's.
After Reed was allowed to do so. Slightly excited walked into the room. He bowed respectfully and quickly reported what he had gained. Although he is curious about Binh Duong's true identity, he can still tell the priorities of things. In the process of reporting, he quietly raised his head to look at the face of the person opposite, but found nothing.
The broken army was very calm from beginning to end, and when he heard the name of the dark palace, he only raised his eyebrows in confusion and didn't say anything. Wait until Reed stops. He nodded and said, "Well done, Reed." Have you added more people near the antique shop? No one doubts you, does it? ”
Reed shook his head and said, "Many of the brothers originally lived in that area. Everyone knew each other well, so they didn't have any defense when they talked. Don't worry, you won't be suspicious. By the way, the owner of that antique shop is Prince Philo of the current dynasty, and that prince is very strong, and he has a very close relationship with the lone wolf. ”
Po Jun frowned when he heard this, originally he thought that Hongjing was just a little more ambitious. I didn't expect him to have such a relationship with a lone wolf. It seems that this Hongjing not only wants to be the queen of the Burning Star Empire, but also wants to rule the entire Luoyang Star and even the European and African Star Domains, otherwise there is no need to rely on the lone wolf, a person who has nothing to do with the Burning Star Empire or even the entire Luoyang Star.
It's just that this Hongjing's gaze is inevitably too short-sighted, does she really think that she can subdue the entire universe by herself? It's really a standard sitting well watching the sky, and Yelang is arrogant. Just this is the doom to her failure, and Pojun doesn't even have the interest to pay attention to her, so he skips it and doesn't mention it.
Reid sat on the couch. Quietly looking at the man who gave him today's status, his expression was a little complicated. He originally thought that he had narrowed the distance to the broken army, but now it has become even farther away. I haven't seen him for half a month, and although the changes in his body are not obvious, he can't hide Reed who is wandering the streets. Although he didn't know what had changed in the Broken Army, he really felt the gap between them. Or that's not the gap. but an impassable moat.
After a long time, Po Jun spoke: "Okay, I know, don't meddle in this matter." Call back all the brothers who were sent to the antique shop to monitor the place, it is a place of right and wrong. Anyway, these people are your team in the underground dynasty in the future, and it won't be good if they are damaged. I'll let you know if there's anything going on, so go back. ”
Reed's heart moved when he heard this, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. He bowed his head, then got up and left the hotel. The broken army sat in his seat. Suddenly laughed. He whispered, "Foggy." Your brother is really interesting, he actually made some kind of dark palace. Could it be that he still has the idea of competing with the zodiac, and the guardian beast has been bored to this extent? ”
The flame totem jumped slightly, as if in response to his words. Po Jun stroked the flame totem with pity, and the expression on his face gradually condensed. He whispered sorry in his heart, although he knew that the owner of the dark palace might be the elder brother of Fog Yin, but he couldn't reveal the past affairs.
Whether it is the secret of the broken army, or what happened on the continent of the ancient gods, or even the tragedy of the elf clan, it is all related to these guardian beasts, even if he wants to withdraw now, there is nothing he can do. The only thing Pojun can do now is to find out all the truth as soon as possible. He is not to help anyone avenge his hatred, but to give himself an explanation, that's all!
At the moment, Shaga is of little use. Everyone understands that it is absolutely impossible for a lone wolf to give him a chance to enter the dark palace, which is the selfish nature of human beings. Po Jun thinks that this is normal, after all, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will be destroyed, how many people in this world can truly be selfless?
Although Po Jun didn't know the origin of the Ancient Beast, and the last time he was in battle, he only received an inexplicable memory, but he understood that he must not let the Dark Palace know about the Ancient Beast, otherwise he didn't know how many strange things would happen in this star plane.
It's just that it would be a pity if Shaga was just let die like this, how could he let him go like this if he spent so much effort to let this guy escape from the Dark Demon City. In any case, even if he dies, he must make Shajia's death worthwhile, so that he can be regarded as exerting his residual heat.
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Po Jun's mouth, and he got up and left the hotel. The lights lit up the night, and the city was still bustling, and the storm of the queen's disappearance for no reason had subsided. Those people are still looking for the Holy Warrior who defected, but the person in charge of this matter still has no clue, and the matter is slowly put on hold.
Of course, these officers and soldiers also searched the antique shop, and the person in charge of the antique shop at that time gave them a very warm reception. And these officers and soldiers don't want to offend Prince Hongjing at all, so naturally it is impossible to search very seriously. Therefore, Saga lives a decent life in the basement, at least someone comes down every day to deliver food. The lone wolf will also offer condolences from time to time, and by the way, mention the matter of the ancient beast of the underworld.
Saga knew he should be more determined at this time. Anyway, the lone wolf didn't get an answer, and he would never do anything to him easily. It's just that he doesn't know why, he always feels a little uneasy in his heart, and even when he sleeps, he always wakes up in his dreams. However, in the end, he didn't know what nightmare he had, so he could only lie on the bed in cold sweat and tremble.
The broken army quietly appeared at the underground dynasty's branch in the west of the city, and Heidi was taken aback when he saw him. This Pingyang was personally introduced by her, but Heidi did not dare to look down on her at all. Being able to get the trust of the Venerable at the first meeting shows that he is extraordinary and also shows that the Venerable attaches great importance to him.
Even if he left his affairs to other inconsequential people, His Holiness didn't say much. This is enough to show what an extraordinary position this Pingyang occupies in the heart of the Venerable, and this alone has already reached the reason for Heidi to respect him, even if he is just a man.
Pojun didn't have the heart to greet Heidi, he stood at the door. Keep an eye on the antique shop opposite. When he saw the lone wolf figure leave the antique shop, a chilling smile appeared on his face. When Heidi saw his smile, she subconsciously pulled away from her body that was too close and walked back to her seat quietly.
Saga was bored in the secret room, and then inevitably thought about his days in the zodiac, and his days in the Dark Demon City. Of course. It was a good time when I spent five years in Dark Demon City. He wondered if he would have made the same choice if he had turned back the clock, choosing to be the enemy of that terrible man......
After all, there is no regret medicine in this world, and everyone has to take responsibility for what they have done. Saga was just thinking about it at this time, and the result was only to make himself more depressed. After all, he did it for the sake of power, and if he could have thought that breaking the army would give him a greater opportunity, he would not betray the zodiac if he killed Shaga.
In fact, all this is just a thought, and in general, it is Saga who is jealous of the army. Jealous of his achievements, jealous of his brothers. Jealous of his castle. and jealous of other women. Shaga thought of what had happened to him and touched his body viciously. The thing that was supposed to exist was gone, and so was the beauty in his heart.
Shaga now has nothing else to ask for, as long as he can let him slash his enemies, he is willing to do whatever he is asked to do. Since Pojun had planted his divine sense in his brain, he naturally understood Shajia's thoughts. In his opinion, Shaga's thoughts were nothing more than mere metrics, and it was simply ridiculous.
Po Jun has never believed in fate, and in this world of the jungle, strength is the decisive factor. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to get power and money, you need to redouble your efforts in exchange. It was precisely because he wanted to make the life of his beloved woman better that he would continue to pursue strength. And Shaga didn't do anything at all except complain, so why did he want to get everything like this?
In the face of this kind of person, Po Jun did not have any pity in his heart, and he almost did not hesitate to launch a spiritual hint and order Sha Jia to come out of the secret room. This time, what he has to do is not only to let this former virgin holy warrior die without a place to be buried, but also to catch up with Hongjing, who may collude with the Dark Palace, no matter who it is, the woman who wants to hurt him will have to pay the price!
Shaga suddenly felt a panic in his heart, and even he didn't understand where the panic came from. Suddenly, he felt that his body was out of control. At first, he just thought that it was the paralysis caused by sitting for too long and poor blood circulation, but it was only after seeing that he got up from the bed smoothly that Saga really felt scared.
His body and consciousness seemed to be two separate entities, and no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't control his steps towards the door of the secret room. The moment the door to the chamber opened, Shaga's heart suddenly died. After so many years of hard work, he tried his best to survive, but he still became a pawn in the hands of others.
Since Shaga was able to become a holy warrior, it naturally showed that he was not stupid. In just a few moments, he already had an insight into what was going on. No one knew better than him the deployment of the Dark Demon City and the strength of the Iron Army, and if they hadn't released the water in the first place, he would not have been able to escape from there at all.
Now that I think about the two iron armies I met near the city gate, I realize how clumsy their performance was at that time. It's just that at that time, when I was on the run for my life, where did I have time to think so much. After knowing that he was going to die, Saga's mood miraculously calmed down. He quietly watched himself walk to the hall of the antique shop, and in the stunned gaze of the principal, he confessed his identity as a defector to the officers and soldiers, and then completely closed his consciousness and let himself fall into chaos.
