? The palace city of Chang'an City is where all the children of the royal family live. Great Xia has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are millions of children in the Xia family. Most of the children lived in Miyagi for the rest of their lives. In order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the children of the Xia family practice intermarriage within the clan, and only men who really can't find a partner are allowed to choose a 'female' son as a wife from the outside, but the 'female' son of the Xia family does not have this qualification.

The method of absorbing soul power is also a secret within the Xia family's royal family, and only the children of the true lineage will know about it. The descendants of the descendants can possess enough 'daughters' of the Xia family to provide them with soul power. For example, when Xia Qi went to Luoyang City, he took a large number of 'females' from the clans in the palace city and brought them to Luoyang and placed them in the Green Water Garden for them to absorb soul power.

After entering the Miyagi Gate, there was no obstacle along the way. As the prince of Xia Qi, he is unimpeded wherever he goes. Soon Xia Qi and his entourage returned to his residence in the palace city, a building second only to the Central Palace in luxury.

After arriving here, Chen Yuxiang's divine consciousness spread out, and he couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the Xia family's royal family. Within the palace walls, the millions of children of the Xia family's royal family turned out to be all monks! Within a radius of a hundred miles of the palace city, there were actually more than a million cultivators!

This number is almost equal to the number of cultivators in the entire city of Luoyang City on weekdays! This city within a city can really be called a city of monks!

"Most of the descendants of cultivators are still cultivators. It seems that an exception like Princess Zhi'er's is indeed very rare!" Chen Yuxiang said in his heart.

However, Princess Zhi'er is actually not an exception, she, like Ning Zhongze, is not unable to cultivate, but the hidden 'sexuality' of the Five Elements Spiritual Root, which is a genius among geniuses. In this way, the children and grandchildren of monks are monks, and there are really no exceptions to this law.

Among these millions of monks, most of them were in the foundation building stage and the Jindan stage, and there were fewer of them above the Yuan infant stage. Of course, this is also relative, just the cultivators in the Merge Period, there are more than 100 people here, and there are actually more than a dozen people in the Mahayana Period!

The Great Xia royal family controlled the entire Xiuzhen realm, and ninety percent of the spirit stones mined by the world's spiritual veins were sent to Chang'an City. Relying on the worship of Huaxia Kyushu, coupled with the skipping effect of the Void Prison, it is normal for the Xia family to have so many talents for thousands of years.

Obviously, if it is hard work, Xia Qi's side will definitely not be able to turn over any big wind and waves.

However, fighting here is not about strength, but about soul power!

When the 'gate' of Chang'an City was opened again, it was already evening, and it was already late at night. Dozens of cultivators, along with Xia Qi, stayed in the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, silently waiting. All the servants, 'servants', 'women' and guards in the main hall have been completely eliminated by these cultivators, and these people are also the children of the Xia family, but they are all members of the Xia family with extremely weak blood, and they can only take up these jobs here.

"My lord, what now?" After staring at him for half an hour, a senior monk of the Merge Stage couldn't help but ask.

And so on. Xia Qi said lightly.

Wait? What are you waiting for? Everyone was suspicious in their hearts, but no one in this palace city had ever been here, and only Xia Qi was the most familiar with it, so everyone had to wait.

City of Light, top floor of the Mage Tower.

Isa's face was hesitant, and she looked at Irina and hesitated: "Mother, will Brother Qi be in danger, can they really break into the palace and break that soul crystal?"

"Don't worry, my good daughter. The soul crystal of the Xia family is not so easy to break, but Xia Qi is the prince, what danger can there be? In this operation, I don't expect him to really break any soul crystal, if he can break it, I won't send him, after the soul crystal is broken, the world will be in chaos, and that's not what I want to see. This time, I'm just using these people to consume the strength of the Xia family's royal family!"

"The most terrifying force in Great Xia is not the millions of monks in Luoyang City, nor the secret spies of the Heavenly Shadow, but those guys who live in the palace city! With their existence, relying on the control of soul power, the monks of Great Xia will be fearless when they fight. And if these royal children die, it will be a big blow to Great Xia. As for Xia Qi, his status in the palace is second only to that of the Great Xia Emperor, even if there is a palace coup, who can do anything to him? In this operation, the others will definitely die, but he will definitely be safe and sound. When we defeat Xia Ziyan and attack Chang'an City, Mother will give you a complete Xia Qi!"

"Isha, things have come to this point, there's no point in hesitating!

"yes, Isha. This time, it will definitely completely 'provoke' Xia Ziyan, and it will definitely lead Xia Ziyan to take the initiative to fight with us. Haven't you always wanted to see Xia Ziyan's methods? You will see it soon, what are you hesitating about?" Kirk Barak also said in a continuous voice.

Isha pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she nodded, and recited a spell in a low voice, and the next moment, a small blood-colored tower mark faintly appeared on her clear forehead.

Chang'an City, inside the palace city, the prince's mansion.

In Xia Qi's sea of knowledge, the image of a blue-haired Rakshasa young 'girl' appeared, and Isa's sweet voice sounded in his sea of knowledge: "Brother Qi, but it's started! ”

Xia Qi Huoran stood up and walked outside: "The action begins!

Dozens of senior monks each appeared with a Qinggang sword in their hands, and followed Xia Qi out quickly, and Chen Yuxiang still quietly followed.

After Xia Qi walked out of the mansion 'gate', he rushed directly in the direction of the Central Palace. He knew the secret of soul power, but what kind of soul crystal, he didn't know where, but he heard Irina say that it was under the palace. At this time, he was also at a loss in his heart, but according to his understanding of the palace, he also had a faint guess in his heart. This guess determines his current goal.

The imperial palace of Great Xia is a completely enclosed fortress-like building, which looks a little similar to the palace of the Rakshasas. At this time, the palace was brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo, when the Emperor of Great Xia was drinking and feasting. Xia Qi and his party rushed outside the palace 'gate', and a group of hidden cultivators immediately flashed out of the shadows.

The old man at the head was tall and majestic, he was a high-ranking monk in the Mahayana period, and it was obviously he who discovered the existence of Xia Qi and his party.

"Xia Qi! It's you!" the old man saw Xia Qi, his eyebrows raised and he shouted in a deep voice, "Why don't you stay in Luoyang City, what are you going to do when you go back to Chang'an!"

"Uncle and grandfather, this time the Rakshasa people invaded on a large scale, the situation is extremely complicated, and I came back by my father's edict. Xia Qi looked at the old man and said respectfully.

"What edict? I haven't heard of any edicts issued!" the old man snapped, "Also, even if you are an edict, one person is enough, why do you bring so many people? What are these people? What the hell is going on?"

"Hmph, as a prince, do I need to explain this to you?" Xia Qi shouted coldly, "Go die!"

As soon as the words fell, an invisible 'wave' movement swept by, and the cultivator's expression behind the old man froze at the same time, and he shot out at the same time, and a flying sword actually attacked the old man. And the old man's own face also became dazed, and he waved his palm towards his head!

At the moment when the palm of his hand was about to touch his head, the old man's palm froze suddenly, and his eyes also returned to clarity, looking at Xia Qi and shouting angrily: "Stinky boy, Nima's! You dare to use soul power on the old man! It's against you!"

Before the old man's words fell, the flying swords of the monks behind him had already cut through his body at the same time. The lowest level of these monks is also the highest level of the merger period, and with this kind of strength, and the Qinggang sword used by them, it is naturally easy to cut through the body of the unsuspecting old man. The poor old man had the strength of the Mahayana period, and he died easily.

"It seems that this guy's soul power is not weaker than Xia Qi, at least not much worse, so he can wake up. It's a pity that he didn't take precautions, and finally fell in love with Xia Qi's way. Chen Yuxiang calmly judged outside the crowd.

After these cultivators who were controlled by Xia's soul power killed the old man, the flying sword swung back in unison, gently slicing his neck. Dozens of great heads suddenly fell to the ground, and blood spurted out of the headless neck like a spring. These cultivators guarding the outside of the palace were wiped out in an instant!

Seeing this terrifying scene, the cultivators who followed Xia Qi did not have any joy, but their hearts became even colder. The more they saw the power of their souls, the more urgent their desire to get their souls back!

With a wave of his hand, a Mahayana monk who was following Xia Qi burst out, burning all the corpses into nothingness.

Chen Yuxiang followed Xia Qi into the big 'gate' of the palace, and in front of him was a long and wide corridor. The width of the road is up to 10 zhang, the height of the ceiling is more than 20 zhang, and both sides are carved with the marble reliefs of 'fine' beauty. On both sides of the corridor are richly decorated halls, and at the end of the corridor is a large hall, from which the sound of silk and bamboo comes from.

The hall at the end is the main hall of the Great Xia Emperor, and it is obvious that the Great Xia Emperor is drinking and feasting there at this time.

Xia Qi's trip was not to kill the king, so he didn't go to the hall at the end. Of course, with his concentration of soul power, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the Great Xia Emperor. He knew in his heart that his father was the person with the strongest soul power in Miyagi. If these people he brought with him were seen by his father, he could kill them all with one mind.

The small hall that Xia Qi walked into had a bluestone corridor in the middle, and there was a shallow lake in the corridor, and there was actually a weeping willow planted around the lake. There were no guards in the small hall, only an old man with a white beard and white eyebrows sat under the weeping willows, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

"Uncle, grandpa!" Xia Qi bowed respectfully to the old man.

"It's Xiao Qi, what are you doing here? You haven't been here for many years!" The old man was also a cultivator in the middle of the Mahayana period, but he looked at Xia Qi very kindly, and he didn't express any surprise at the group of people behind Xia Qi.

"By the way, didn't you become a prince, and then your father sent him to Chang'an City? Why did you come back suddenly? It seems that this is a bit out of order!" He had been in this small hall for hundreds of years, completely ignorant of the world, and seemed to have become a little dull in his mind.

Xia Qi seemed to have some respect for this old man, which was also the reason why the old man loved him more when he was young, he often came here to play at the beginning, and the old man also loved him very much. Xia Qi walked into the old man, pointed to the pool and said directly: "Uncle, you have always refused to tell me in the past, where this teleportation array leads, and now you still refuse to tell me?"

Chen Yuxiang glanced at the pool, and sure enough, he found that there was a small teleportation array hidden in the pool. The spatial 'wave' of the teleportation array is extremely small, and it is impossible to distinguish it if you don't look closely.

"Xiao Qi, it's not fun to know this. Besides, my Emperor Daxia will be held every 50 years, and your term of office as the emperor of Lao Tzu is approaching, and when you become the emperor in a few years, you will naturally know this secret. Now why are you asking this?" said the old man, stroking his beard and smiling.

"Uncle and grandpa, I heard that this teleportation array leads to a secret room underground, and there is something called a soul crystal in the secret room, is it true?" Xia Qi asked bluntly.

"Huh?" The old man's eyes flashed, and Huo Ran stood up, "How do you know, who did you listen to?"
