Zhang Shaochu added: "The Yunwu County is also in chaos. The Queen and the Imperial Advisor advocate handing you over to calm the anger of the Sifang County. However, the commanders and generals in the army advocate a decisive battle with the Sifang County.
No compromise."
"Everyone in the major families and sects of Yunwu County is in danger. Everyone thinks that it was you who caused the great disaster and brought disaster to Yunwu County. They are all too stupid. Sifang County has already wanted to annex it.
In Yunwu County, the death of Prince Huo Xing is just an excuse. Alas!"
"Ninth brother, the situation is very unfavorable for you now. It's best for you to stay in the west courtyard and never go back."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "That won't work. I'm about to go back to the royal city."
"No, you must not go back." Zhang Shaochu said: "Now that you return to the royal city, you will definitely become the target of public criticism, and everyone will point the finger at you. Maybe your head will be cut off and sent to the four counties.
Come to quell the war."
Zhang Ruochen stood up, with a determined look in his eyes, and said, "I must go back, otherwise how much pressure will my mother endure in the palace alone?"
Zhang Shaochu fell into silence, clenched his fists, as if he had made a major decision, and said: "Ninth brother, fourth brother will go back with you. Even if we have to fight the army of Sifang County in the killing field, we brothers will have to
Fight alongside."
"Okay! Let's go back together!" Zhang Ruochen said.
When Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Shaochu walked out of the dormitory, Xiao Hei was already waiting outside.
Xiao Hei sat on the back of the two-headed blood lion, stared at Zhang Shaochu, and said: "Fat man, you want to go back too?"
When he saw a cat that was fatter than him and actually called him fat, Zhang Shaochu was naturally a little unhappy. He tried his best to open his eyes wide and said, "Who are you calling fat?"
"I am telling you what you dare to do?" On the back of the two-headed blood lion, the little black man stood up and rubbed his two paws, showing a very fierce look.
"Ninth Brother, why is your cat so rude?" Zhang Shaochu did not show any weakness and showed a fierce look. He took out the deadly sickle, held it in his hand, and was about to fight Xiao Hei.
Zhang Ruochen didn't want to waste time and said: "You all should stop making trouble and go back to the royal city first."
Xiao Hei and Zhang Shaochu immediately separated, each glared at the other, but did not start fighting.
Zhang Ruochen turned over and sat on the back of the two-headed blood lion and said: "It takes at least two days and two nights to travel from the West Courtyard to the royal city of Yunwu County. I want to enter the inner space of the space-time crystal to practice. Xiaohei, if something happens,
Remember to call me."
Zhang Shaochu took out a second-level low-level barbarian beast mount and walked out of the barbarian beast palace. Hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, he asked in surprise: "What space-time crystal?"
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting on the back of the two-headed blood lion, disappeared with a hiss.
On the back of the two-headed blood lion, there was only a crystal stone tied to a chain.
"what happened?"
Zhang Shaochu was startled and shouted.
"What a fuss."
Xiao Hei looked at Zhang Shaochu with contempt, picked up the space-time crystal and hung it around his neck.
Zhang Shaochu was in shock, looking for Zhang Ruochen everywhere, and asked: "Ninth brother, where have you gone?"
Xiao Hei seemed a little impatient. He drove the two-headed blood lion and swaggered towards the gate of the college, saying: "Why do you care so much? Follow me, and there will be nothing wrong with you."
Zhang Shaochu was a little hesitant, so he sat on the back of the second-level low-level barbarian beast Sabertooth Thunder Tiger, and chased after Xiao Hei.
Zhang Ruochen raced against time to practice, spending six days in the inner space of the space-time crystal, refining two drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid, and his cultivation improved a bit.
It is not an easy task to obtain the highest level of Xuanji Realm. Even if all twenty-seven drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid are refined, it is estimated that one will not be able to reach the highest level of Xuanji Realm.
Of course, if he refines twenty-seven drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid, his physique will definitely improve a lot, which will be very helpful for him to reach the supreme realm of Xuanji Realm.
"Bang bang!"
Zhang Ruochen began to practice his palms, hitting the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm over and over again. Through the palm practice, the medicinal power of the Semi-Saint True Liquid was completely integrated into his body.
After practicing the palm technique for a whole day and night, Zhang Ruochen's whole body was covered in hot sweat and he had almost completely absorbed the medicinal power of two drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid.
"We should be back in the royal city soon." Zhang Ruochen felt that the time was almost up, so he stopped practicing and walked out of the inner space of the space-time crystal.
There was a "whoosh" sound, a white light flashed, and Zhang Ruochen appeared on the back of the two-headed blood lion again.
Zhang Shaochu was riding a saber-tooth thunder tiger and was walking beside him. When he saw Zhang Ruochen suddenly appeared, he was startled again. He shrank back and almost rolled off the saber-tooth thunder tiger. He said in surprise: "Ninth brother, you
Where have you been these two days?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Practice in seclusion."
"Where can I practice in seclusion?" Zhang Shaochu searched everywhere to find Zhang Ruochen's retreat place, but in the end he found nothing.
Seeing that Zhang Shaochu had not discovered the secret of the space-time crystal, Zhang Ruochen did not intend to tell him. For Zhang Shaochu, knowing too much may not be a good thing for him.
Zhang Ruochen pointed at the bulging belly of the two-headed blood lion and said with a vague smile: "I am practicing in the belly of the two-headed blood lion. Of course you can't see me."
"real?"
Zhang Shaochu's round face showed a wonderful expression, and he said excitedly: "When I was a child, I heard about some strange people who specially entered the bellies of wild beasts to practice, absorbing the essence and blood of the beasts to provide nutrients, so that their cultivation could be improved.
To make rapid progress. Are you, Ninth Brother, also proficient in this secret technique?"
He actually believed it!
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "I also accidentally found an ancient book in a cave and learned this secret technique from the ancient book."
"Then can you teach me?" Zhang Shaochu looked at Zhang Ruochen eagerly and said eagerly.
"This... we'll talk about it later..." Zhang Ruochen immediately changed the topic, looked forward, and said, "Where are we now? How far are we from the royal city?"
Zhang Shaochu said: "We have arrived at Tianyue Mountain now. After crossing Tianyue Mountain, we are only two hundred miles away from the royal city."
Zhang Ruochen had heard of Tianyue Mountain, an important defensive barrier to the west of the royal city. The entire mountain covers an area of 300 miles in radius. It is a barren mountain with barbaric beasts running rampant. The terrain is steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack.
Three hundred years ago, Yunwu County built a city gate in Tianyue Mountain, named Tianyue Pass.
After three hundred years of operation, the city wall of Tianyueguan has been built stronger than the royal city, a large number of formations have been deployed, and 120,000 troops have been stationed to resist barbaric beasts from the outside and secure the royal city from the inside. It has very important strategic significance.
Although they were walking on a steep mountain road, Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Shaochu's mounts were both second-level beasts, so they were still traveling very fast.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen's ears moved slightly, he looked towards the bushes not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Who is that person?"
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen pulled out the Flashing Soul Sword and made a defensive posture.
From the bushes, a man covered in blood crawled out, staggered and fell in front of the two-headed blood lion, saying: "Help...save me..."
After saying these two words, the man fainted.
Zhang Shaochu was wary of the man in blood and said cautiously: "Ninth brother, be careful of fraud."
Zhang Ruochen jumped off the back of the two-headed blood lion and walked up to the bloody man. Seeing the injuries on his body, he felt a little frightened.
There were at least thirty wounds on this man's body, and even one of his arms was severed. The most serious wound was on the head. The skull was chopped into pieces by a sharp blade. The broken bones of the head could be clearly seen, and the entire head was almost chopped off.
into two halves.
Fortunately, his cultivation was strong and his martial arts was beyond ordinary people, so he survived.
If it were any other warrior who had suffered such serious injuries, he would have died long ago.
Zhang Ruochen pushed the messy hair away from his face, revealing a somewhat familiar face.
Seeing this face, Zhang Ruochen's expression changed drastically and he said, "How could it be him?"
Zhang Shaochu also leaned over, looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground, and said, "Why do I feel that he looks a bit like Liu Chengfeng?"
"Because he is Liu Chengfeng's father, Liu Chuanshen, the owner of Guowu City Bank in Yunwu County." Zhang Ruochen said solemnly.
"What?"
Zhang Shaochu was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said in shock: "According to legend, Liu Chuanshen is a martial arts legend in the Tianji Realm. He is a grandmaster-level existence. He has the power to split mountains and cut rivers. He is the top martial arts expert in Yunwu County.
.Who could hurt him so badly?"
Zhang Ruochen also showed a solemn expression, feeling that this matter was not trivial. He carefully observed the injuries on Liu Chuanshen's body and analyzed: "If my guess is correct, Liu Chuanshen should have been besieged by a group of Earthly Realm experts. Moreover, that group
Among the enemies, there must be another Tianji Realm Martial Arts Shinhwa with strong cultivation. His arm was cut off by that Tianji Realm Martial Arts Shinhwa."
Zhang Ruochen immediately took out a bottle of healing elixirs, poured out a handful, and drank ten of them to Liu Chuanshen. However, after taking the healing elixirs, the effect did not seem to be great.
Zhang Ruochen's healing elixirs are all second-grade elixirs, which have obvious effects on warriors in the Xuanji realm, but have minimal effect on martial arts myths in the Tianji realm.
The physique of a warrior in the Tianji Realm is too strong, and ordinary injuries can be healed by relying only on blood and true energy. However, once a warrior in the Tianji Realm is seriously injured, ordinary pills will be of no use to him.
Zhang Shaochu said: "Liu Chuanshen is the owner of Wushi Bank, who dares to attack him? Aren't you afraid of offending Wushi Bank?"
"I'm afraid the royal city has undergone tremendous changes." Zhang Ruochen had an ominous premonition.
"Boom!"
At this moment, there was a loud sound of iron hoofbeats on the mountain road ahead.
From a distance, you can feel a powerful chilling air, and the birds in the forest fly away in groups and disappear into the mountains.
Zhang Ruochen immediately sent Liu Chuanshen to the inner space of the space-time crystal, then jumped back on the back of the two-headed blood lion and gave Zhang Shaochu a look to tell him to stay calm.
Who on earth dares to kill even the owner of Wushi Bank?
