There were a few old guys who wanted to stay and curry favor with Zhou Xing, but they didn't dare to talk to him when they saw the gloomy expression on his face, so they wandered outside the hall for a while and then left in despair.
The last person to leave the palace was Zhou Xing, the priest who spoke last. He stood on the marble stairs outside the palace. At this time, he felt extremely unhappy. Thinking of Dugudong's cold expression towards him just now.
, Zhou Xing's old face was first covered with a thick layer of cold air, and then a line of sinister smiles flashed across it as fast as lightning, but it only took a short moment before it returned to the original state.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and quickly went down the stone stairs. He waved hello, and a cart pulled by four low-level horses and beasts appeared in front of him. Zhou Xing's thoughts moved, and with a flash of golden light, his body disappeared in an instant.
Once they were on the spot, they got into the carriage, and then the servants on the carriage drove the carriage towards the west of the city like flying.
In the middle of a remote mountain forest in the west of the city, a magnificent manor called Zuixuan Pavilion is like a long dragon circling in it. The curved and wandering stone stairs look like countless small snakes curling up, and there are plants on both sides of the stone stairs.
It is full of all kinds of colorful exotic flowers and plants, and the mountain itself is high in altitude. All the pavilions in the manor are shrouded in clouds and mist. The smoke and clouds are lingering, full of poetry and painting, like a living human world.
Wonderland is amazing and enviable.
The horse carriage that Zhou Xing was riding in stopped when it reached the gate of the manor at the bottom of the mountain. With the help of his servant, he slowly got out of the carriage. At the same time, he saw two black lights coming from the side of the gate.
It burst out from the outside, and when the light faded, two burly men wearing night clothes stood in front of the door. They were like two stone statues, their whole bodies were completely black, and the only thing that could be seen was their pair of gloomy eyes.
If those eyes with deep cold light looked directly into them, even those with advanced cultivation would shudder subconsciously.
When Zhou Xing was about to step onto the stone stairs in front of the door, one of the men in black shouted with a cold and ruthless voice: "Who is that person in front of you? Don't you know that breaking into Zuixuan Pavilion without permission is a capital crime? If you know better, I'll be quick.
Get back quickly, otherwise you will never come back today."
As the shouts fell, the black light that originally dimmed on the two men in black turned into clouds of black mist and rose up. Then the black mist seemed to be mixed with a black dragon, which was roaring vaguely.
Exuding a strong killing intent, as long as the people in front of the stone stairs do anything bad, they will strike first and kill them here.
Zhou Xing felt very disdainful when he saw the two murderous guards, but after all, he was here to make a deal, or rather, he wanted to make a request, so he couldn't make the relationship too tense now.
So he said politely to the two of them: "Two guardians, please don't misunderstand me. I am Zhou Xing, the Minister of Ceremony of Yanxue Kingdom. I am here today to meet with the Master of Xiewutian Pavilion on important matters."
When they heard it was Zhou Xing, the two of them hesitated slightly. The man in black who had just spoken once again said in a tentative tone: "It turns out to be Director Zhou! I, Zuixuan Pavilion, have never been in contact with the royal family. I don't know what the purpose of Director Zhou's visit is.
?If you have anything to say, can you pass it on to me and me? "After all, Zhou Xing can be regarded as a person in the Yanxue Kingdom who wants wind and rain. No matter how arrogant they are, they no longer have the domineering arrogance they had before.
Seeing the contrast between the two people who looked down upon others before and after hearing that he was the Falis Secretary, Zhou Xing sneered in his heart. However, there was no arrogance on his face, so he was polite again
Said: "Well... I'm really sorry. This matter is not trivial. I can only tell the evil master in person. I also ask the two guards to be accommodating."
After saying that, Zhou Xing waved his right hand lightly, and the servant quickly took two square brocade boxes from the carriage and presented them in front of the man in black. He then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "These are two pieces from the Yanxue Kingdom.
The soul-protecting crystal produced secretly by the royal family, I think the exercises practiced by the two guardians should belong to the soul method. Although the soul method is unpredictable, if there is no external object to nourish the soul for a long time, the soul of the practitioner will suffer.
Backlash. Although this soul-protecting crystal is not of much use, it is a great tonic for the soul. It is used to its full potential when used on the two guardians.
The two people who originally dismissed Zhou Xing's gift felt overjoyed when they heard it was a soul-protecting spar! They stretched out their hands to take the brocade box, which seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds. You must know that they were in Zuixuan.
When Ge got the soul-protecting spar, he had to perform a life-or-death mission! Happiness came so suddenly that the two of them were so happy that they forgot about their own work.
"Ahem!" Seeing that the two of them were so happy that they were completely carried away, Zhou Xing deliberately coughed a few times to bring them back from their daze.
"Hehe! We made Director Zhou laugh. It would be disrespectful for me to refuse Director Zhou's great gift! The master of the pavilion has been in seclusion for many years, but today is the day when he comes out of seclusion. At this moment, the prime minister is in the main cabinet. Please invite the director.
Sir, follow me." The man in black, who came to his senses first, swept away the gloom on his face, put on an expression of joy, and said respectfully.
The temptation of power and money is indeed extremely powerful. Even good people can become bad, and bad people can become perverse. Zhou Xing sighed secretly for no reason, and then felt very funny at his own thoughts and looked up.
In the direction where the man in black disappeared, he followed the man in black and flew deep into the manor.
On the top of the mountain where the manor is located, a splendid and huge pavilion is the main building of Zuixuan Pavilion. On weekdays, all receptions with distinguished guests and meetings in the pavilion are held here.
Like a stream of light, Zhou Xing and the others arrived at the location of the main pavilion in an instant. Seeing that the main pavilion was magnificent and huge, its level of luxury was no less than that of the royal palace. This actually made Zhou Xing secretly surprised. At the same time,
It also made him more interested in Zuixuan Pavilion. If a force that does not rely on financial support from any country has developed to such a powerful level, it must have its own strength.
The two people stepped slowly and landed on the red carpet in front of the main pavilion door. At the same time, several black shadows flashed from the surrounding space and appeared in front of the two people.
Zhou Xing felt the auras emanating from several people. Except for an old man wearing a black Taoist robe of Bagua who was slightly stronger than him, the others were not afraid.
"Hei Ya, why didn't you guard the gate carefully? Why did you come to the main pavilion without permission? You even brought outsiders in privately. Do you think your life is too long?" A gloomy voice spread from the direction of the black shadow.
Come on.
As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Hei Ya broke into a cold sweat on his face. This voice belonged to the great elder Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan can be said to be a murderous demon. Now the entire martial arts world has fallen.
He has countless strong men in his hands, and with his weird and unpredictable temper, everyone in Zuixuan Pavilion except the Pavilion Master is afraid of him. So Hei Ya immediately knelt on the ground, looking in the direction of Zhang Xuan and typing.
Trembling, he stuttered in a cautious voice:
"Reporting to Protector Zhang, it's not that I deliberately left my post without permission, but that Director Zhou wanted to meet with my Pavilion Master. I was afraid of delaying important matters so I sent him there in person. I hope the Great Elder will learn from this!" He said
I was also afraid that I might accidentally anger this murderous and powerful maniac.
"Oh? Director Zhou? But Director Zhou of Yanxue Kingdom, who controls the country's etiquette and laws?" Zhang Xuan asked, turning her face sideways, squinting her eyes and looking at Zhou Xing in front of her gloomily.
"Replying to the Great Elder, it's the Director Zhou you mentioned." Hei Ya heard that Zhang Xuan didn't mean to be angry, so he quickly answered, but this time he didn't stutter, because he blurted it out.
"I wonder why your Excellency came to my Zuixuan Pavilion? Although we are in the Yanxue Kingdom, we have not had any contact with the royal family for so many years. If there is nothing important, it is best for you to leave quickly." Although Zhang Xuan.
He is a bloodthirsty maniac, but he can still observe the basic situation. If the royal family sent people to visit in the past, they would politely entertain them and then send them away. But now is the time when the Ji Yun Empire is strong, and
The master of the pavilion was also very jealous of Ji Yun. The royal family would not have good intentions if they sent someone here at this time. Therefore, this sentence also contained a threat and also meant to avoid suspicion.
"Haha! The great elder wants to kick people out when he opens his mouth. It seems to be against the way of hospitality! I know that the great elder wants to avoid suspicion, but how can the great elder be sure that I am here on behalf of the royal family today?" Zhou Xing
Looking at Zhang Xuan's face, he said with a sarcastic laugh.
After being exposed by Zhou Xing's words, Zhang Xuan was a little angry, and her dark face turned red. Then she said again viciously:
"Don't be shameless. I told you that the royal family is not welcome in Zuixuan Pavilion. If you don't leave on your own, don't blame the baby soul power in my hand for not being able to see."
After saying that, Zhang Xuan shouted loudly, and the originally clear surroundings suddenly became blurry. Black fog continued to gather from all directions in the main pavilion in the direction of Zhang Xuan. Then Zhang Xuan waved his arms,
The black mist was sucked into his body along his Tianling Cap. As the black mist continued to enter, Zhang Xuan's face became more and more ferocious, and finally the old face instantly transformed into the face of a one or two year old baby.
.The baby's little face was filled with bursts of black energy, and he stared at Zhou Xing with a strange smile, which made people feel very creepy.
After seeing this, Zhou Xing sneered in his heart. It's just a small trick. With the help of Nascent Soul to increase your strength, let's see how strong you can be. He also had a fighting spirit in his heart, so Zhou Xing said no more. At this time, his strength was revealed.
Be the boss, otherwise it's all fucking bullshit.
However, he did not rush to exercise his spiritual power. Instead, he took out a crystal with golden light from his arms, showed a strange smile on his face, nodded and whispered, and a golden light centered on the position where he stood quickly spread out to all sides.
Spread out, countless golden light threads intertwined and coiled with each other, and finally merged into a dragon soul-like monster. It roared towards the black mist, and the golden light was filled with ripples of energy and rushed towards the black mist.
, I saw the black mist fleeing in all directions as if encountering a natural enemy.
"Hahahaha, Elder Zhang, it seems that the power of your so-called Nascent Soul Soul cannot withstand the light of my Dragon Soul Buddha." Zhou Xing watched the golden light drive the black mist to escape, and he couldn't help laughing and ridiculing.
"Dragon Soul Buddha's Light? Is it the light emitted by the Dragon Soul Beast crystal? How is it possible? Didn't the Dragon Soul Beast fall in ancient times? How could you have it? This is absolutely impossible!" Zhang Xuan heard the dragon.
The word "po" was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Mu, who couldn't believe it at all, froze on the spot and roared.
But this was only a short moment, because the next moment, Zhang Xuan really had murderous intentions. If the dragon soul crystal really fell into his hands, it would undoubtedly be an extremely dangerous hidden danger for Zuixuan Pavilion.
, and as the great elder, he will not let this hidden danger continue to breed.
Zhang Xuan shouted loudly at the surroundings, and eight other elders and hundreds of powerful black figures instantly jumped out of the space and appeared on the platform in front of the main pavilion.
After the black figures paid homage to the great elder, they turned their eyes and stared at Zhou Xing. At the same time, their bodies secretly channeled the power of their souls. Among the elders, the fourth elder Kunpeng looked at him with disdain.
He glanced at Zhou Xing, then complained to Zhang Xuan: "Brother, you can't even deal with such an ant! You actually called us brothers out."
Listening to the fourth brother's words, Zhang Xuan's childish face was filled with a look of disgrace. He thought that Zhang Xuan had always made others fearful in the martial arts world, but he didn't expect that he would fall on Zhou Xing today. But at this moment
He is really suffering and cannot express it!
"Fourth brother, don't underestimate the enemy. This guy has a treasure. Otherwise, how could I be afraid of him?" Zhang Xuan did not blame Kunpeng for being unreasonable. On the contrary, she reminded him to pay attention to the person in front of him.
"What kind of treasure can even the elder brother be so afraid of?" The other seven elders who did not speak at this time had a trace of surprise on their faces, and they were all speculating in their hearts.
"It's the Dragon Soul Crystal"
"What? Dragon Soul Crystal?" Everyone blurted out in unison before Zhang Xuan finished speaking, and some even swallowed secretly.
The dragon soul crystal can be said to be the absolute nemesis for those who practice soul magic, because it contains extremely rich and pure golden light energy, which can instantly burn soul objects to ashes. Therefore, for Zuixuan Pavilion, a place known for its soul power
In other words, Dragon Soul Crystal is their inner fear.
"That's not right. Didn't the Pavilion Master say that the Dragon Soul Beasts had been strangled to death by the Human Soul Clan in ancient times? How come there are still crystal stones appearing? Brother, are your words really true? Don't scare us for no reason!"
The second elder, Zhao Yun, was frightened but also had some sense, and questioned Zhang Xuan.
"Oh? Second brother, do you suspect that I am deliberately teasing you? Do you think I am a reckless person for such a major matter that concerns Zuixuan Pavilion?" Zhang Xuan was furious when she heard that her brothers questioned his words.
Burning, the pale child's face was as if it had been streaked by a raging fire, and his face was red. Then the face the size of a child became more ferocious, and suddenly a bloody mouth opened, and two fiery red eyes stared at Zhou Xing eagerly.
Bloodthirsty way.
"Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing, I was kind enough to let you go for the sake of your master, but I didn't expect you to be so disrespectful. Now that you have the treasure to restrain me, Zuixuan Pavilion, I'm afraid the gate of Zuixuan Pavilion cannot be used.
