After the woman left, Xia Jiang, who returned to the palace, immediately began to refine the spirit weapon with all her might.

Sean also continued to master the sword formations he had learned and began to apply them to his puppets.

A few days later, Sean's puppet spies got the news that the Dugu Empire was engaged in an agreement war with the Zhuoluo Sword Saint Empire, so they couldn't get out of the way to deal with him, and now the result has come out, the Dugu Empire defeated the Zhuoluo Sword Saint Empire, and now they are going to sign the Defeat Entente.

Although Sean could not get any further information about the Entente, with his understanding of the Entente between the Empires, in addition to bearing all the losses of this war, the losing side had to cede at least one piece of territory and receive some unfair treatment in the Entente until the next treaty war came.

Hearing this news, Xia Jiangdang was ready to go, because most of the emperor's feudal kings were still doing the final treaty signing and compensation ceremony on the battlefield of the Entente.

At this moment, in the northwest of the Dugu Empire, there are eight of the top ten feudal kings of the empire, and more than half of them are still here, a total of five people, these five people are King Ce, King Qin, King Li, King Secret, King Dou, and there are three kings guarding their respective territories, that is, the border defense of the empire.

In addition to the two major empires around the Dugu Empire, there are also some large and small kingdoms scattered all over the world, which are almost surviving in the cracks and can survive to this day In addition to their role as a buffer zone for wars between empires, there are also strong people secretly protecting them.

What Xia Jiang wants to do this time is to incite some kingdoms to rebel against Dugu's constraints, and join forces with him to capture Dugu's territory to the west.

Under the rapid jump of the Frog King, Xia Jiang soon came to the west of Dugu, without demons and hidden, so that he found many spies of the Dugu Empire in the high-altitude flight, and it seemed that the camp was investigating the news about him step by step. At the same time, it is also a defense against enemies during this critical period of the empire.

Xia Jiang came to a small kingdom called Aogu, only six million square kilometers in size, the king here is called Augustin, who is now more than a hundred years old, and the cultivation of the quasi-king, but its strength is comparable to that of the Spirit King. Legend has it that there was once a spirit king who wanted to kill the king and then blame another country for a war, but instead of being able to kill him, he was almost trapped by the other party.

The two of them came directly to the palace of the capital, where the palaces are all circular, with a suspended building in the middle, and an underground palace underground, and the king lives in the suspended building in the center of the circle.

Xia Jiang arrived as an envoy of the Xia Kingdom and soon received permission from the king to enter.

Coming to the king, Xia Jiang was also a little surprised, the king was much younger than he imagined, not an old man with white flowers, but a young man who looked only in his forties. In this world, forty or fifty years old is still young.

"Envoy of Xia Kingdom, please, please!" Augustine smiled as he watched as several maids entertained Xia Jiang and the others, who were personally fiddling with the dishes there.

Xia Jiang was a little curious that the other party didn't come to greet them in person, but was there doing what the maids should do.

Sean glanced around, as if he was preparing to wait for the battle to break out, and if the environment would be beneficial to them.

"Come and taste the spiritual fire feast that I have personally prepared for you. Augustin smiled and helped Xia Jiang and the others open their seats, but they really looked like ordinary people.

Like him, his spiritual mind can basically do these things for ordinary people, such as making all the dishes and tableware at the banquet neatly arranged in an instant, or the chair naturally leaving a space for a person to enter and exit, and so on. The point is that these controls are almost negligible in terms of the wear and tear of his spirit.

No matter what, this Augustine is a senior in front of Xia Jiang, and as a junior, Xia Jiang is not embarrassed, even if he expresses his curiosity.

"Lord King, you have the ability to do everything just now, why do you have to spend so much time on it like an ordinary person?" Xia Jiang showed a puzzled expression.

Seeing that the young man was puzzled and dared to ask, Augustine suddenly smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Why do I have to do it with my ability?"

Sean on the side listened to the old king say this, and he was also influenced by Xia Jiang, and he felt that this old man was very special.

"That's right, you have to do it the way others think it is, that's it, your lord, you're really different, boy, I like it very much. Xia Jiang's words are true, he himself is a person who does not like to act in the way of the world's definition, otherwise he would rather do nothing.

"Thank you Xia Guolai's friends for your like, well, I believe that a few people who came from afar, there must be something important, right?" After the old king replied to Xia Jiang, he immediately turned the topic to the main topic, and showed a mysterious smile.

Xia Jiang looked at this smile and intuitively felt that the other party seemed to have expected their arrival a long time ago, but he was secretly surprised, and said slightly tentatively: "Lord King must have known that we were coming back today, right?"

Sure enough, the old king smiled slightly between the two of them, and said: "But the motives of the two are too intense, you must know that even if the Dugu Empire is a little downtrodden now, it is still a big empire, they are like this on the surface, but secretly they don't know how much accumulated power they have, if you want to defeat it, it is almost impossible!"

"Then what is the king's opinion?" Xia Jiang wanted to hear what the other party's attitude was.

"I, a bad old man, do you want to do the passionate things of your young men when you come to this step?" said the old king, smiling slightly.

Faced with the old king saying this, Sean on the side immediately saw that the other party was not ready to cooperate with them, so he said: "Xia Jiang, it seems that the old king really doesn't want their neighbors to be harassed, let's go?" Although he said this, he was actually hinting to Xia Jiang to see if it was time for them to do it.

That's right, according to legend, since the assassination of this old king, he had a promise to the outside world, but anyone who is a spirit king or below the cultivator, who can make him admit defeat, he will meet the other party's request, and he will do what he says. Therefore, they agreed in advance that if the old king did not agree, they would attack at the same time, control the old king, and then force him to forcibly cooperate with them and capture the border of the Dugu Empire.

Xia Jiang naturally received Sean's hint immediately, and despite his attempt, he still tried to answer: "Your Excellency, although you say so, but I don't believe it, my lord, have you not considered breaking through to the Spirit King realm one day and getting a reborn life?"

Xia Jiang's meaning is very simple, when he reaches the realm of the Spirit King, it is very simple to reshape and rebirth, especially at the age of the old king, the body organs should have been reshaped and transformed a long time ago, otherwise it will have a great impact on cultivation and potential.

Of course, Xia Jiang's words were just a temptation, not his true intention, his true intention was to test to see if the old king's true cultivation was a quasi-king, or whether he had already reached the spirit king and pretended to be a quasi-king!

It was also as Xia Jiang asked, but the old king smiled again, and said: "The young man is really smart! That's right, any cultivator who has reached my level will definitely be hungry and thirsty for further growth and get a life that is close to eternal life! But ......" the old king said for a while, but he received it, "but that is also fate and fate, and it cannot be forced, so I regret that I still can't agree to your request." ”

Listening to the old king's words, Xia Jiang was already half sure in his heart that this old man's true cultivation might have reached the realm of the Spirit King!

Thinking of this, Xia Jiang couldn't help but be a little frightened, because if the other party really reached the realm of the Spirit King but pretended to be a quasi-king, then he must have some immeasurable motives!

But either way, it's just speculation, so it looks like they're going to have to do it!

In his heart, Xia Jiang immediately gave Sean a hint, but said: "Lord King, the kid still has some confidential things that he wants to talk to the king privately, I don't know if it's okay?"

The old king was worthy of being the old king, and almost immediately understood what Xia Jiang meant, and immediately withdrew all his subordinates.

"Tell me, what is the secret matter?" said the old king with a smile, continuing to enjoy what he called the 'Spirit Flame'. Spiritual flames, in fact, are those foods that are cooked with spiritual fire, and the food that is served in the utensils, all of which move as if they have life.

"It's just ......," Xia Jiang said, immediately standing up abruptly. He believed that this action was already an indication of his so-called secrecy

However, in the face of Xia Jiang's sudden uprightness, the old king's smile only narrowed down slightly, but did not fade completely.

At this moment, Xia Jiang's enchantment immediately enveloped the entire hall, isolating the entire space, including sound and images, so even if there were people outside at this moment, they couldn't see anything abnormal here.

After doing this step, the huge ant phantom behind Xia Jiang also immediately appeared.

And Sean also released huge puppets in an instant, with a size of only one or two meters, which can be regarded as mini puppets for him, and there is no doubt that these puppets Xia Jiang has never seen before. Obviously, this Sean, knowing that the opponent is tricky, began to exert the strength of pressing the bottom of the box.

"The king is really not simple, he is actually in the kid enchantment, and he can still be so calm. Xia Jiang couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and at the same time, the great incarnation was already in place, quickly enveloping the old man.

Xia Jiang thought that he was the strongest sword formation, even if it was a spirit king-level being, once he was bound in it, he would never be able to escape, he would only be trapped in it, and at this moment, he could just see if the strength of the spirit king could break through his strongest sword formation.

Sean on the side was extremely calm at this moment, and after a few puppets were summoned, he immediately began to wait for Xia Jiang's sword formation! He knew that Xia Jiang's sword formation was strong, and now at such a close distance, it was impossible for the other party to escape the blockade of Xia Jiang's sword formation, and when the time came, he would cooperate violently, the other party would not say that he was a quasi-king, even if it was a spirit king, he would definitely be captured!
