The Zongren Mansion is in the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace, slightly closer to the Heavenly Pole Hall than the Katsuji Palace.

In the entire palace area, Xu Chong has only been to the Wenhua Hall area, that is, the auspicious heaven where the Zhan Shifu is located, and he can't break the sky with one hand and directly enter the interior of the Zongren Mansion.

But he didn't care.

The supreme realm of splitting light and turning shadows was enough for him to avoid almost all the monitoring methods and reach the Zongren Mansion all the way.

However, he did not choose to continue to sneak in, but showed his body and stepped in with such a big thorn.

"Who's coming?!"

The two guards drew their long knives in a loud and half-way, vigilant and fierce.

Bang.

Without Xu Chong making any moves, the guards flew upside down into the courtyard and fainted.

The movement quickly attracted the attention of others.

Hurried and messy footsteps sounded, rushing towards Xu Chong, who had just stepped into the gate of the Zongren Mansion.

However, without exception, they all flew upside down like the two guards.

Xu Chong didn't speed up either, just walked leisurely and went to the depths. walk

Those who came slower behind him, whether they moved troops or went to report when they saw that the situation was not good, they were not taken seriously by him.

These people are just some low-grade or even non-high-grade handymen, there is no need to kill them, and they can't ask anything.

It wasn't until the oncoming crowd that there was an existence with a higher official position, and Xu Chong didn't directly attack it.

"Say, where is Jiang Xinghe?"

Xu Chong probed with one hand, and the old man wearing the robe of the Zongren Mansion took the initiative to put his neck into his palm like a magnet.

"In ......"

The old man had never seen such a terrifying method, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, so he could only twist his arm as much as possible and point in the direction behind him.

"Thank you."

Xu Chong nodded.

Bang.

The old man rolled his eyes and fainted.

Including the guards and petty officials before, these people were just made to fall asleep by Xu Chong's skill, and they didn't suffer much damage, and they would wake up in an hour at most.

Xu Chong let go of the old man and let him fall to the ground, while he continued to walk inside.

Later, he saw a few authentic people or something, but these Zhengyipin officials were all princes of the royal family, and they had long recognized Xu Chong, the Taizu legacy.

Therefore, they were only puzzled by Xu Chong's actions and did not intervene.

After all, speaking of which, the identity of the prince or the identity of the Taizu's lineage is higher, this is really hard to determine.

In this way, Xu Chong did not encounter any obstacles, and entered the deepest hall as if no one was around.

But as soon as he entered, he frowned.

On the main seat, a figure was leaning on the back of the chair and pretending to sleep, seeing that the robe was the same as the previous Qianwang, and it was indeed the order of the sect.

But this man ......

It's a little too old.

There are only a few strands of silver hair hanging down, and it looks no different from a bald head if you don't pay attention.

The old face was full of ravines, densely covered with age spots, and the mouth collapsed, and even his teeth were obviously lost.

The whole person looks more old than the old lady who is about to die......

Is this Jiang Xinghe?

Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, and he slowly approached, "You sent a message to me?" ”

The old man on the throne seemed to be really asleep, and frowned when he heard the clear words, and then slowly opened his eyes.

It took a while more to see the face of the person with a cloudy gaze.

"You... Finally...... Here it comes. ”

In just five words, the old man paused twice, and each time he seemed to be gathering strength.

Just looking at the face, the old man and Jiang Xinghe no longer have anything in common, but the familiarity in his eyes still made Xu Chong confirm his identity.

So Xu Chong didn't hesitate any longer, flashed over, and pressed one hand on Jiang Xinghe's shoulder.

After a moment, Xu Chong couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Xinghe is different from Dou Tianyuan, he has no injuries in his body, and the reason why he is so old is simply that his longevity has dried up, and he has reached the last moment of death.

If he came more slowly, maybe a day later, maybe an hour later, Jiang Xinghe would be completely dead.

“……”

Jiang Xinghe's lips moved, and he wanted to say something but didn't have the strength to support it.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Chong stopped Jiang Xinghe.

The next moment, the strength of Lingyuan and Pure Yang Washing Body Record crossed into Jiang Xinghe's body along his palm.

Lingyuan was coerced by the force, and under his deliberate control, it was dispersed and integrated into Jiang Xinghe's various important organs.

This seems a bit wasteful at first glance, because let alone preventing Jiang Xinghe's death, it can't even be delayed.

The only effect is to let Jiang Xinghe have enough vitality in the last period of time.

At least like ordinary people, speak normally and act normally.

After a while, Xu Chong let go of his hand: "Now you can say it." ”

"This means ......"

Jiang Xinghe felt the abundant physical strength that he had not seen for a long time, and his face could not hide his shock.

"It's just that you can speak smoothly, I can't help you prolong your life."

Xu Chong shook his head, "If you should have died an hour later, it is still the case. ”

"That's enough."

Jiang Xinghe smiled, and then changed his words: "You will come to me directly, you should have received the letter and met Master Dou." ”

Xu Chong bowed slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, his memory has been tampered with by you." ”

"No, it's not just him."

Jiang Xinghe's face was solemn, "There are also Lou Xiang, as well as the cadres who participated in the big sacrifice." ”

"No wonder you're so old."

Xu Chong's eyes were mocking, "It is said that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, it seems that our majesty is more vicious than lions and tigers." ”

"Actually, it has nothing to do with him."

Jiang Xinghe shook his head, "He didn't exercise control over me, he just let me see the gap and tell me the truth, and the rest is my own choice...... But none of that matters, I don't have much time and I need to tell you something. ”

"Please."

Xu Chong's face was straight.

Jiang Xinghe first sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly spoke.

"In fact, His Majesty's initial plan was to completely cover up the entire Great Sacrifice incident, and then completely tamper with the memories of Lou Xiang and Lord Dou."

"It's just that I rejected it on the pretext that my longevity was not enough to support it, and that nothing happened but was more suspicious."

"The main one is still the second."

"After all, my longevity is insufficient, and I can change the next sect order, but if everything is completely tampered with and covered up, it will be difficult to make up an excuse for Dou Tianyuan to invite you into the apse."

"Both of these reasons are very good, so Your Majesty did not suspect me, and allowed me to hide the truth from the fake, and only made a small part of the tampering and cover-up to make everything seem more reasonable."

"He doesn't know, I also need you to go back to Beijing."

"He wants you to go back to Beijing because he wants to lead you into the apse, and I want you to go back to Beijing because he wants to tell you all this."

Jiang Xinghe first explained to make Xu Chong let down his guard, and then continued, "Most of the things you learned from Lord Dou were real things. ”

"For example, the combination of inner demons and external incarnations has devoured millions of royal families."

"But there's one thing I've tampered with."

"The truth about the imminent destruction of heaven and earth was publicly told to all participants by His Majesty as early as the beginning of the Great Festival."

"In other words, after King Qian, after learning about this incident, he still chose to reply to the edict to save the royal family, and Lord Dou also chose to take action against His Majesty's doppelganger after learning about this incident."

And so it was!

Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

From Dou Tianyuan's mouth, the version he learned was that Dou Tianyuan and Lou Youzhi entered the apse and learned all the truth.

These two versions, it seems, are just reversing the order in which the truth appears, but the meanings are completely different.

The truth is in the front, the shot is in the back, this is nothing, it can only be said that Dou Tianyuan is still the same Dou Tianyuan.

And if the shot is in front and the truth is in the back, it can make people like Dou Tianyuan regret it, which means that the destruction of the Tianxuan Realm is just like the Spring and Autumn Tomb, and it is already close at hand.

Now it seems to be fine.

"In addition, there is one place where tampering is the deadliest."

Jiang Xinghe continued, "Your Majesty's doppelganger is indeed dead, but strictly speaking, it was not killed by Lord Dou, but His Majesty took the initiative to kill his own doppelganger with his heart demon, and then ...... Brought back to the apse the nutrients that millions of royals had turned into. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Chong's heart was shocked.

As a person who also had this kind of heart demon method, he clearly remembered that the range of the heart demon was only three feet away from the body, and although the range of retraction could be farther, it would definitely not reach the level of dozens of miles from Qingling to the apse.

Obviously, this is also the effect of the combination of the external incarnation and the inner demon.

After thinking about it, Xu Chong opened his mouth and asked, "What are the rules of the apse?" ”

"Say what you say."

Jiang Xinghe replied, "It can allow the controller to completely omit the process and directly achieve what he wants when he has a realistic basis...... Previously, His Majesty was the peak of the Yellow Court Jade Pond in the apse, and now, His Majesty has repaired the Purple Mansion, which is the peak of the three paths. ”

The explanation is very simple, but with Xu Chong's current vision, he instantly understands the horror of this rule.

The Three Peaks sound very strong, and even he hasn't been able to reach it now, but if you want to use it to express the strength of the law, I'm afraid it's not enough.

You know, the 'omitting process' doesn't just work on breaking through the realm.

Emperor Yongtai can completely cultivate all the side techniques that can be collected.

No, it's not just parasurgery.

Emperor Yongtai already possessed supernatural powers, but only the Dao Heart Demon and the incarnation outside the body were confirmed.

But are there really only these two?

And the crushing terrifying strength of the realm, side arts, and supernatural powers, which are combined together, is enough to support Emperor Yongtai to 'omit the process' again when he faces the enemy in the apse.

It's incomprehensible.

If Jiang Xinghe hadn't sent the letter to Huajiatangkou, even if he had doubts about Dou Tianyuan's performance, he would probably rely on his own strength and the weakness shown by Emperor Yongtai to enter the apse.

In that case, the consequences are unimaginable.

"In addition, His Majesty wants you to enter the apse, not to really send you to the outside to find a way out."

Jiang Xinghe spoke again, "What he needs is the rules of immortality that have been controlled by you. ”

"The rules of immortality?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, and it was immediately clear, "Yes, he has already repaired the Purple Mansion, and he can already pass the rules of immortality and obtain an infinitely long lifespan." ”

"No, you're really wrong this time."

Jiang Xinghe vetoed, "The destruction of the Heavenly Xuan Realm is real, even if there are immortal rules in his body, he can't avoid the destruction of the world, and there are only more than forty years left before the day of destruction, after he can't repair the Purple Mansion, he can live for so long without the rules of immortality." ”

"This ......"

Xu Chong was a little stunned and asked, "What is that for?" ”

"Use the rules of immortality to solidify the rules that follow the law, so that the scope that can be covered will not be further narrowed."

Jiang Xinghe's answer was more refined than what Emperor Yongtai said to Lou Youzhi and the others personally, "If this can be successful, it is very likely that even the entire Tianxuan Realm will stop the destruction process." ”

"I see......"

Xu Chong couldn't help laughing, "It seems that only this kind of catastrophe of heaven and earth, which even he can't escape, can force him to really have the world in his heart for once." ”

"Although he doesn't want to admit it, this time, what he thinks about is still not the ...... of the world"

Jiang Xinghe sighed, "What he really wants is to rely on the fact that he can use the law outside the realm and the immortal god can survive outside the realm, and go out to find a more complete and advanced world...... For example, in folklore, there has been a fairy world since ancient times, and everyone can live forever. ”

"Well, it turns out that I still think highly of him."

Xu Chong shook his head disdainfully, and then changed his words, "What about you?" ”

"If you don't cooperate with Emperor Yongtai, it means that you are still the prince I know."

"But in this way, you should be more likely to choose cooperation, because you can keep the world and the Tianxuan Realm."

"I can't understand why you're choosing this?"

For what?

Jiang Xinghe remembered the scene in the apse and replied, "When you were in the apse, Lou Xiang and Lord Dou tried to kill themselves, and Your Majesty didn't understand how they could choose you. ”

"Lou Xiang's answer is that if one day, the beings of the Heavenly Xuan Realm have value to Your Majesty again, Your Majesty will return to the Heavenly Xuan Realm and devour the entire sentient beings."

"Lord Dou laughed and said that if it were you, he would never do this."

"I believe it."

As Xu Chong said, at the beginning, Jiang Xinghe did intend to fully cooperate with Emperor Yongtai and take back the rules of immortality from Xu Chong's body.

Because no matter what Emperor Yongtai's purpose was, there was at least hope of keeping the Heavenly Xuan Realm by doing so.

But it was because of Lou Youzhi's answer to Dou Tianyuan that he completely changed his mind.

"Hehe......"

Jiang Xinghe smiled bitterly, "I have inherited thousands of years in Daqing, but now it is a situation where the father is not like the father and the son, and the king is not like the monarch and the minister is not like the minister...... We are the heirs of the royal family, and after death, I don't know what to do to see our ancestors and ancestors. ”

Xu Chong ignored Jiang Xinghe's complicated feelings.

He was thinking about something else.

Emperor Yongtai needs to rely on the apse in order to maintain that unimaginable power.

In other words, when Yongtai came out of the apse, he only had a product of the law, a golden body, and the Purple Mansion Cultivation Dao that had just begun.

In this case......

With his current strength, wouldn't he be able to forcibly force Emperor Yongtai back to the previous state?

The kind of state that doesn't dare to take a step out of the apse and completely loses power?

Thinking of this, Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.
