The capital, the General's Palace.

An honest middle-aged man in a blood-red robe handed over a prayer note and was led by a housekeeper to a seven-story pavilion.

"The lord is waiting for you on the seventh floor, please~"

Downstairs, the housekeeper bowed and said, and stretched out his hand to signal the honest middle-aged man to go upstairs.

"Thank you."

Honest and middle-aged gentle and polite, humble to others, after returning the salute before stepping into the pavilion, towards the seventh floor.

After a short time, the honest middle-aged came to the seventh floor, and there were already two people here, one of them was the general Chu Yuan, and the other was his righteous son Lu Fengxian.

The honest middle-aged eyes swept over the two of them, sitting in the position prepared for him, his temperament changed suddenly, he looked at Chu Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "General Chu, are you willing to see so-and-so, do you agree to cooperate with this seat?" ”

The honest middle-aged tone did not have the slightest respect, Lu Fengxian raised his eyebrows after hearing this, got up suddenly, stared at the honest middle-aged man like a vicious tiger, and said unkindly:

"If you ask for someone, you have to look like you are begging for someone, and then you are so arrogant and rude, don't blame General Ben for being polite."

The honest middle-aged man directly ignored Lu Fengxian, looked at Chu Yuan, who was speechless, and said lightly: "Can his words represent you?" Chu Yuan! ”

Hearing him call his father-in-law's name, Lu Fengxian's head was on fire, and he wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Chu Yuan.

"Blood Knife, you, a demon Dao giant, ran to me to the capital to spread wilderness, aren't you afraid that I will suppress you?"

Chu Yuan's eyes were like knives, and his fierce gaze swept over the Blood Knife Ancestor, and his thoughts flowed in his heart.

"Hahaha~"

The Blood Knife Ancestor smiled, laughing unscrupulously.

"Chu Yuan, do you dare? Can you? ”

The Blood Knife Ancestor spoke in a disdainful tone, and finally looked at Lu Fengxian on the other side, and sneered: "You don't think that you can compete with this seat with a waste son, right?" ”

"You!"

Lu Fengxian was furious and was about to make a move, but he still sat back under Chu Yuan's eyes.

He was very unhappy in his heart, the great master of the realm of the unity of heaven and man, was actually scolded as a waste, how could he bear it?

Breaking through into the realm of the unity of heaven and man before the age of fifty, it is also a rare Tianjiao in the world, with the potential of half-step heaven and earth, if the opportunity is enough, he can even achieve the supreme grandmaster.

In time, the middle-aged demon in the blood robe will be destroyed by him.

"Blood Knife, this is Zhengjing."

Chu Yuan's tone was flat, and he didn't care about the ridicule of the Blood Knife Ancestor.

The dragon and crouching tiger are hidden in the capital of Daqian, and countless strong people are hidden, and no matter how powerful the blood knife ancestor is, it will not work if it is placed in the capital.

Not to mention the Blood Knife Ancestor in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, even those supreme masters of the Heaven and Earth Realm did not dare to kill the Zhengjing City single-handedly.

Chu Yuan glanced at Lu Fengxian again, and sighed secretly in his heart.

This Lu Fengxian's temperament is similar to his last righteous son, he is arrogant, but he is brave and unscrupulous, and he has no eyesight.

Lu Fengxian is just a celestial early stage, and his strength has not even recovered to the peak, if he really fights with the Blood Knife Ancestor, he will inevitably die within ten rounds.

However, Lu Fengxian didn't know the identity of the Blood Knife Ancestor, and it was understandable that he didn't know how powerful he was.

The main reason is that Lu Fengxian is quite loyal to him, and such words are also to defend him, plus Lu Fengxian has a lot of potential, and Chu Yuan doesn't want to blame him.

"What about Zhengjing City? Come and go if you want! The Blood Knife Ancestor snorted twice, his tone was tough.

"Really? If Ye Pujia is in person, do you dare to say that? A gleam flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes.

He really needs the help of the Blood Knife Ancestor, but Chu Yuan knows that the Blood Knife Ancestor is not a good knife, this kind of demon path giant is not easy to control at all, if he shows weakness, the Blood Knife Ancestor will inevitably have to inch in, and he will definitely ride on his head and, which Chu Yuan can't bear.

It is necessary to dispel the arrogance of the Blood Knife Ancestor so that the two sides can talk about cooperation on a relatively equal basis.

When the "Ye Pujia" Blood Knife Ancestor heard this name, his face changed slightly.

He is not from the Great Qianjiang River, he is far away in the Xuanzhen Dynasty, but he still knows Ye Pujia's murderous name, and this Jingye Division is not easy to mess with at all.

Ten years ago, it was the pinnacle of heaven and man, and six years ago, it became a half-step heaven and earth pass that opened up the two heavenly barriers, and now no one knows where it has been.

No matter whether Ye Pujia breaks through to the Heaven and Earth Mystery or not, it is not something he can deal with, and he can't even make a few moves in Ye Pujia's hands, and there is a huge gap in strength.

"Ye Pujia's little girl's skin is nothing more than that, this seat has long wanted to snatch her back and practice it to become a perfect blood tonic pill." The Blood Knife Ancestor said stiffly.

Chu Yuan smiled, his face full of sneers, and a gloomy look appeared on the face of the Blood Knife Ancestor, but it disappeared in an instant.

He really wanted to refine Ye Pujia into the Ten Great Blood Replenishing Pill, if he succeeded, he would swallow the Refining Blood Pill again, and his cultivation would inevitably skyrocket, and the chance of being promoted to Heaven and Earth Tongxuan in the future would be much greater.

But it's a pity, this can only be thought of, the Blood Knife Ancestor didn't even dare to publicize it, otherwise Ye Pujia's fierce woman might have to run to the Xuanzhen Dynasty to eliminate the Demon Guardian.

"Tell me, what conditions do you have?" The Blood Knife Ancestor regained his composure and said lightly.

His previous actions were to bully Chu Yuan, if he succeeded, not only would he not have to pay anything, but he would also be able to get huge benefits from Chu Yuan.

It's a pity that Chu Yuan was not fooled, it seems that Chu Yuan's situation is not as bad as he expected, or Chu Yuan's city is too deep and withstood his temptation.

Chu Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You tell me your intentions first." ”

"I have something that has been robbed in Qingzhou, and I need detailed information to know whose hands it has fallen into." The Blood Knife Ancestor hesitated slightly and spoke.

Chu Yuan's heart moved.

What kind of treasure is it, he actually let the Blood Knife Ancestor personally go out, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to enter the Great Cadre.

And the Blood Knife Ancestor only wanted information, not to help him find it, indicating that the Blood Knife Ancestor was worried that the treasure would be snatched by Chu Yuan, so he had to take it personally.

"Wouldn't it be better to let Chen Liucao's help with this kind of thing?" Chu Yuan asked tentatively.

"Chen Liucao's family is a person in the righteous path, and he can't get along with this seat." The Blood Knife Ancestor said the excuse that he had already thought of.

In fact, the Blood Knife Ancestor suspected that the former Zhou Yuxi was robbed by Chen Liucao's people, and even suspected the target on Cao Ze.

Although judging from the situation at the scene, it was a killer in the world who killed and seized the treasure, codenamed 'Ghost Sorrow', and the Blood Knife Ancestor should go to the world.

But the Blood Knife Ancestor has checked, and the ghost has been active in Qingzhou, although Qingzhou is big, but there are so many grandmaster-level powerhouses, and most of them are in the Chen Liucao clan.

After Cao Ze entered Beijing, he showed the cultivation of the Heavenly Master and the Great Master, and he had been hiding his cultivation before, maybe it was the 'ghost who saw sorrow'.

The Blood Knife Ancestor speculated that Cao Ze happened to capture the former Zhou Yuxi, so as to break through to the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

The only suspicion is that Cao Ze is in the middle stage of heaven and man, and in this regard, the Blood Knife Ancestor believes that it may be that the national fortune in the former Zhou Yuxi is too prosperous, not only helping Cao Ze break through to the realm of the unity of heaven and man, but also allowing him to go further and reach the middle stage of the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

Whether it was Cao Ze who intercepted his chance, this still needs intelligence support, and the Blood Knife Ancestor believes that the breakthrough point is on Yun Wanya's mother and daughter.

At that time, Xichuan Du did not find the body of Yun Wan Aya's mother and daughter, and it was likely that Cao Ze rescued her, as long as she found Yun Wan Aya's mother and daughter, she could know the whereabouts of the former Zhou Yuxi from her mouth.

Qingzhou is very large, and it is still the sphere of influence of the Chen Liucao clan, the Blood Knife Ancestor does not dare to go forward, the Cao Clan's ancestor Cao Changsheng is not easy to mess with, he just let the Crazy Knife Sect secretly track down.

After learning about the situation of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Blood Knife Ancestor made a decision to find Chu Yuan's cooperation, which was the best way.

Chu Yuan and Cao Ze are hostile, and they are also powerful in the Great Qian Dynasty, and they can also leverage the power of the three kings, so it is much less difficult to find Yun Wanya's mother and daughter with their help.

According to the plan of the Blood Knife Ancestor, after finding Yun Wanya's mother and daughter, he learned the whereabouts of the former Zhou Yuxi, if it did not fall into the hands of Cao Ze, he snatched the former Zhou Yuxi and ran back to the Xuanzhen Dynasty directly, does the devil need to be credited?

If there is no need, the Blood Knife Ancestor is too lazy to get involved in the internal strife of the Great Qian Dynasty, and it would be too unlucky if he died like the Pure Yang Palace Master.

If it is really obtained by Cao Ze, then Cao Ze is the enemy of the Blood Knife Ancestor, and he will completely stand on Chu Yuan's side to deal with Cao Ze, of course, he will also look for opportunities to move, and he must not be used as a gun by Chu Yuan.

Hearing the Blood Knife Ancestor's lame excuse, Chu Yuan's eyes moved, and he didn't dismantle him, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then we are among the same people." ”

"I only have one condition, help me deal with Cao Ze, if you agree, I will do my best to help you find something."

As he spoke, Chu Yuan carefully observed the Blood Knife Ancestor, trying to find some clues from him, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.

"Yes."

Blood Knife Ancestor nodded.

Having said that, both of them knew that the other party couldn't believe it, the Blood Knife Ancestor was worried that Chu Yuan would intercept his treasure, and Chu Yuan was worried that the Blood Knife Ancestor would run away if he got the treasure.

However, until either side achieves its goal, the verbal alliance between the two is valid.

The Blood Knife Ancestor left his contact information and left, Chu Yuan stood upstairs and looked at his back condescendingly, his mood was a little complicated.

He is a dignified general, and one day he will be reduced to colluding with the devil.

If it weren't for the unfavorable situation, Chu Yuan would not have made such a move, now he had to unite all the forces that could be united, even if it was a demon path giant, it didn't matter, it was still the knife in his hand that was used well.

Not only the Blood Knife Ancestor, but also the Great Qianguo Teacher, Taifu, Prime Minister, and the top forces of all parties are all targets of Chu Yuan and the Three Kings.

"Fengxian, do you know who he is now?" Chu Yuan opened his mouth in a flat tone.

Lu Fengxian nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "It was the child who was reckless just now." ”

After a pause, Lu Fengxian continued: "But if he is disrespectful to his father-in-law, he can't do it, and when the child cultivates to the late stage of heaven and man, and the peak of heaven and man, he will definitely not let his father-in-law be angry again." ”

A smile appeared on Chu Yuan's face.

The two chatted again, and when Chu Yuan was about to go downstairs, the housekeeper hurriedly ran up, his expression was extremely solemn, and Chu Yuan frowned slightly.

"Why are you so alarmed? What a system! Chu Yuan scolded.

The housekeeper immediately lowered his head and said cautiously: "Master, the old slave has received a piece of information, which is very important, and he is in such a hurry in a hurry. ”

"Say." Chu Yuan said with a frown.

The housekeeper secretly glanced at Chu Yuan's face, and said cautiously: "Master, the fire dragon real person has become a half-step heaven and earth pass through the two heavenly barriers, and went to Chen Liucao to seek revenge, but was suppressed by Cao Changsheng, the ancestor of the Cao family."

"Gulong~" Lu Fengxian's face changed greatly, and he secretly swallowed his saliva, and a look of awe appeared on his face.

Chu Yuan's expression also changed, but he forced himself to calm down: "Cao Changsheng broke through the Heaven and Earth Passage?" ”

"That's what the outside world thinks." The butler nodded hurriedly.

"Damn it!"

Chu Yuan slapped the wooden wall of the pavilion to smash one side, and his expression was extremely ugly.

He could expect that this news would definitely spread throughout the world quickly, and Zhengjing City would be no exception.

Although Cao Changsheng stayed in Qingzhou, he undoubtedly gave Cao Shaoqing great support, and the original neutral forces were afraid that they would gradually favor Cao Shaoqing, and the situation faced by Chu Yuan and the Three Kings would become more and more severe, which was what they did not want to see.

"This old thing, I really don't want any future at all." Chu Yuan said hatefully.

Cao Changsheng quietly joined the way, breaking through the Heaven and Earth Passage, and there was no vision in the world, which meant that Cao Changsheng was promoted in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, so although he could not break through to the Twelve Realms, it was better to be safe.

"Whew~"

Chu Yuan let out a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and waved them away.

"Father-in-law." Lu Fengxian shouted.

Chu Yuan gave him a look, Lu Fengxian's lips twitched a few times, and finally retreated.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find a strong helper." Chu Yuan's tone was gloomy, and his expression gradually became firm.

The supreme grandmaster behind Cao Shaoqing put too much pressure on Chu Yuan, if he couldn't find the support of a supreme grandmaster, Chu Yuan wouldn't have the courage to continue fighting with Cao Shaoqing.

At this time, the Blood Knife Ancestor went and returned, and came to the pavilion again.

Chu Yuan frowned slightly, looking at the expression of the Blood Knife Ancestor, he knew that he had also received the news, and couldn't help but feel a headache, could it be that the Blood Knife Ancestor was going to change his hexagram?

No, if the Blood Knife Ancestor changes his hexagram, he won't come back at all.

"Bloody Knife, what else is wrong with you?" Chu Yuan asked tentatively.

"Tut, that guy Cao Changsheng actually stepped into the Heaven and Earth Passage, it's unbelievable, and now Cao Shaoqing is even more difficult to deal with." The Blood Knife Ancestor replied unanswered.

"What? The dignified Demon Dao giant, the Demon Mighty Blood Knife Ancestor is afraid? Chu Yuan said lightly.

The Blood Knife Ancestor sneered and said, "Will this seat be afraid? Joke! ”

"So what do you want to say? Let's put it bluntly. Chu Yuan didn't bother to go around in circles with him.

"Now the situation is different, the conditions just now are invalid, if you still want to help this seat, you have to pay the price." The Blood Knife Ancestor is also very straightforward.

It's not enough, you have to add money!

The Blood Knife Ancestor came back on purpose to reach a new cooperation agreement with Chu Yuan.

Now, the Blood Knife Ancestor didn't doubt Cao Ze, he suspected that the former Zhou Yuxi had fallen into the hands of Cao Changsheng, otherwise how could that old guy step into the Heaven and Earth Passage?

This should have been his peerless chance!

The one who stepped into the heaven and earth should also be his Blood Knife Ancestor!

The Blood Knife Ancestor was extremely unhappy in his heart, and he was completely resentful of Chen Liucao's family, and if he couldn't deal with the old one, then he would deal with the small one.

Although he also wanted to deal with Cao Ze, this did not prevent him from squeezing benefits from Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he knew that it would be no good for the Blood Knife Ancestor to come back.

"Blood Knife, I'm afraid you don't have to be less of a grudge against Chen Liucao's clan, right?" Chu Yuan said suddenly.

The Blood Knife Ancestor laughed, and instead of answering, he said, "This seat knows what you are most worried about right now, and I can come forward to build a bridge between you and the Sun and Moon Demon Sect." ”

Chu Yuan's heart moved, he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

Half an hour later, the Blood Knife Ancestor left the Great General's Mansion satisfied, while Chu Yuan sat down dejectedly, his expression extremely complicated.

The night is deep, like boundless ink swaying in the sky, the half moon hangs obliquely, the starlight is faint, and the sky and the earth are hazy and psychedelic.

Cao Ze said goodbye to the empress, quietly left the empress's bedroom, and walked in the harem.

Under the interference of his primordial spirit, no one in the harem could find him.

Cao Ze walked all the way to the Yongle Hall where the Queen Mother lived, his divine thoughts had been spreading, cautiously probing, and sometimes stopping in some palaces, with a mysterious smile on his face.

After making some marks and noting down the position, Cao Ze continued to move forward, and after spending some time, he finally arrived at Changle Palace and came to the outside of Yongle Palace.

Cao Ze did not enter the Yongle Palace, but quietly came to the top of the Yongle Palace, he ran the secret method, and converged his own aura to the extreme, even the great grandmaster at the peak of the unity of heaven and man was difficult to find his traces.

Quietly uncovering a piece of tile, Cao Ze glanced inside, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and even his breathing accelerated a little.
