After Li Zhen completely imprisoned the black-robed man, he removed the Five Emperors Cauldron and the Golden Mirror, and looked at the Earth Realm expert lying on the ground as embarrassed as a dead dog with a playful look in his eyes.
"From today on, you are an old dog under my control. If you disobey me, I will send you to the West and make all your efforts turn into ashes."
While Li Zhen was speaking, he waved his hand and opened his black robe, revealing his true face. He turned out to be an ugly, dry old man.
"Tell me! What's your name?"
Li Zhen stared at the man in black robe face to face and said.
The man in black robe was still unwilling and his eyes were gloomy. If the other party had not possessed too many earth-grade magic weapons, he would not have been defeated.
The next moment, a heartbreaking pain came, as if thousands of needles were pricking his heart. The pain was so painful that it immediately made him tremble and break out in cold sweat.
"It hurts so much... ah... my heart is almost broken... ah... it hurts me to death... spare my life... I surrender... I surrender completely!"
"
Li Zhen did not stop because of the black-robed man's begging for mercy. Instead, he intensified his efforts and controlled the life-binding curse to torture the man.
When dealing with such a demonic person, you cannot have any mercy at all. He is like a dog. If you treat him well, he will bully you. If you hate him, he will be afraid.
Li Zhen didn't have the time to slowly subdue him and make him honest once and for all. In the future, he would be afraid of himself and obey his words.
In the end, the man in black robe was tortured until he foamed at the mouth and convulsed all over before he gave up.
"Young master, spare your life! I am willing to recognize you as my master, be loyal to you for the rest of my life, and obey your orders!"
The man in black robe used his last strength to show his loyalty.
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Can we communicate well now?"
"Yes! Yes! I will tell you everything I know, and I won't tell you anything."
When Li Zhen saw this, he did not waste time on him. Instead, he said to his grandfather: "Grandpa! You are here to interrogate him for the time being and dig out the secrets about the queen and the prince. I will go out and make some arrangements first."
"No problem! Just leave it to grandpa."
Grandpa nodded and agreed, and then Li Zhen used the Five Emperors Cauldron to leave the desert and join his master and other disciples.
At this time, the master has captured the two followers of the man in black robe. It is not accurate to say that these two people are followers. Their identities are the first and second disciples of the man in black robe.
He was sent to assassinate Li Zhen before, but Li Zhen went to the East China Sea and returned without any success.
These two people were both Two Tribulation Immortals, so it was not easy to deal with them. Fortunately, the master had three earth-grade magic weapons in his hands and captured them after a fierce battle. However, an elder was also injured during the period, but fortunately his injuries were not serious.
"Zhen'er!"
After Chen Yuannan and others captured their opponents, they originally wanted to help Li Zhen and Zhou Qian, but they searched for a long time and found no trace. They couldn't help but become worried. When they saw Li Zhen coming back, they all surrounded them.
"Where's Uncle Master? Has the man in black robe been beaten away?"
Chen Yuannan saw that Li Zhen had no injuries on his body, so he obviously did not suffer any loss. However, he was confused because Zhou Qian was missing.
"Master, don't worry. The man in black robe has been captured. Grandpa is interrogating him. I came here first to help. Now that Master has captured him, the disciple just has some arrangements for him."
Li Zhen explained.
Chen Yuannan and others were overjoyed. It was a great joy that such a strong man as the black-robed man was captured. With him in hand, it would be easier for the prince and the queen to deal with him in the future.
The two disciples of the man in black were shocked when they heard this.
They knew the master's strength very well, but they didn't believe that the master would be captured. If what Li Zhen said was false, how could he appear here safe and sound?
Li Zhen came to the two apprentices of the black-robed man and said in a cold voice: "Want to die? Want to live?"
Neither of them were strong-willed people who would rather die than give in. They looked at each other and said in a very knowledgeable way: "I want to live."
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction. This kind of nature of those who know current affairs is the same.
"There are conditions for survival."
"The Thirteenth Prince will go through fire and water, no matter what, no matter what."
The two of them quickly expressed their loyalty.
"I need you to return to the Crown Prince and Queen to act as internal agents."
Li Zhen arranged.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
These two people are disciples of the man in black robes, that is to say, the status of the prince's senior brothers must be extraordinary. It would be great to have these two people as internal advisers.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! I promise to do my best to complete the tasks assigned by you."
The two nodded in agreement, and at the same time they were overjoyed. How could their words count after they were out of danger? However, before they could be happy, Li Zhen made a lightning move and planted a life-binding curse on the two of them. He sneered: "As the saying goes, prevention
People's hearts are indispensable. If you dare to be careful with the spell I planted on you, you will be killed on the spot."
"You don't have to think about breaking the curse. Your master has also planted this curse. If you three, master and disciple, work for me, there will be no worries about your lives."
If Li Zhen wants to use them, he will definitely need to contain them.
When the two heard this, their expressions were uglier than crying. However, when they saw Li Zhen frowning, they immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness is well-planned, and I admire him."
When Chen Yuannan and others saw this, they did not agree with Li Zhen using the two of them to do things, but seeing that they had the means to deal with them, they nodded secretly and said nothing.
"You can go back now, but tell the prince and the queen that Li Zhen is dead. Your master will also go back in a few days, taking my character with him. You must do your best to complete it."
Li Zhen waved his hand, indicating that the two of them could leave. The two of them still couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, they believed what Li Zhen said before, and the master must have been captured.
The powerful people in the earth realm have all been caught. What kind of trouble can the two two-evil immortals make in their eyes? As long as there is no water in their heads, they should know who they are loyal to now.
After the two left, Li Zhen said to his master: "Now I will pretend to be dead and act secretly. In this way, the prince and the queen can relax their vigilance."
Chen Yuannan nodded and agreed: "That's right! Without the attention of the prince and the queen, it will be easier to do things."
Grandpa wanted to interrogate the men in black robes, so he ignored them. Li Zhen used his "Thousand Faces" disguise and pretended to be an ordinary disciple, and the group continued towards the Tianchen Sect.
···········································
On the afternoon of the next day, a group of people entered the territory of Tianchen Sect. During his break, Li Zhen quietly entered the desert to meet his grandfather.
"Grandpa! Has he explained everything he knows clearly?"
Li Zhen glanced at the man in black robe and asked.
At this time, the man in black robe had lost all his energy and energy, and looked like a prisoner, letting everything go.
Zhou Qian nodded and said with a relaxed expression: "Everything has been explained clearly, and the most terrifying thing is that the prince and the queen have been secretly recruiting people from the devil's path to work for them over the years, and they have established the 'Shadow Guard', whose strength is equivalent to
A first-rate sect.”
"What?!"
When Li Zhen heard this, his expression changed drastically.
When the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he carried out a thorough cleansing of the demonic sects in the territory, so that there was no longer any demonic sect in China. He did not want the queen to take him in secretly and use it for her own use. If this news was exposed, it would be enough to make him irreversible. Fortunately, the black robe
Man is one of the main leaders of the Shadow Guard.
When Li Zhen learned the details from his grandfather, he suddenly smiled and said: "It's just right! This Shadow Guard is just for my use."
"You can leave now and return to the prince and the queen to act as internal agents. At the same time, you can secretly completely control the Shadow Guards and make them change their stance and work for me. Most of them are people who do all kinds of evil. If they disobey, you know what to do.
what to do."
"Don't worry, Your Highness! I promise to complete the mission."
The man in black robe responded respectfully.
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, explained something to him, and then left the desert with his grandfather and the man in black robe.
After leaving the desert, the man in black robe respectfully said goodbye and left.
Now that life is in Li Zhen's hands, he must be honest and obedient and pretend to be a grandson, both of which are indispensable.
"You three, master and disciple, will do your best for me. Once the work is completed, you will benefit greatly from it."
While talking, Li Zhen took out a secret book and threw it to the man in black robe. The man in black robe took it and glanced at it. His attention was immediately attracted, and surprise and ecstasy gradually appeared on his face.
"This is Xuanpin Neigong's mental method!"
"As expected, he is a person who has advanced to the realm as a casual cultivator. He has a unique vision."
Li Zhen praised it and then said: "You didn't guess. This is indeed a magical and profound mental method. It can be regarded as a reward for your service to me. As long as you work with peace of mind in the future, there will be many benefits."
"Don't worry, Your Highness! My subordinates will be loyal from now on! I am willing to serve as a pawn!"
The man in black robe calls himself the Ghost Ancestor, and the skills he practices are incomplete demonic skills. He is not a native monk. He has been practicing for nearly a hundred years. By chance, he was promoted to the realm. Unfortunately, due to the incomplete skills, he stopped after reaching the true state.
Before that, he traveled all over the world and came to China. By chance, he got involved with the prince and the queen.
Li Zhen's reward for the Xuanpin magic skill was undoubtedly what he wanted and was a timely help.
The way to control people is to give them kindness and power at the same time.
Li Zhen has already become proficient in these methods.
The mental method Li Zhen gave was exactly the mental method of the Nine Hell Demonic Sutra, but only a small part was given.
Sweetness can be given, but not too much, lest you become greedy afterwards.
The Ghost Ancestor was originally in a low mood because his life was threatened. Now that he has gained the spiritual method, his depression has been swept away, and he is even more looking forward to Li Zhen's next reward.
After the Ghost Ancestor left, Li Zhen disguised himself and joined his grandfather with his master Chen Yuannan. Chen Yuannan and others learned that Zhou Qian had interrogated the black-robed man before and wanted to ask about the situation in detail. However, at this time, a middle-aged man with several
A young man and woman came towards them.
"Sect Master Chen is here to greet us! Please don't blame me if you miss me from afar."
Everyone in Qingyuan Sect heard the sound and looked over one after another.
The middle-aged man is short and simple in appearance, looking like a farmer.
People should not be judged by their appearance. This person's name is Qi Huan, one of the ten elders of Tianchen Sect. His prestige and strength can even be ranked among the top five.
"It turns out to be Elder Qi! We have just arrived, so how can we blame him?"
Chen Yuannan has a good relationship with the other party and they worked together when they were young.
The two sides greeted each other politely. Elder Qi glanced at him imperceptibly, feeling a little disappointed. Just as he was about to ask, his eyes fell on Zhou Qian, and he was shocked.
"But Senior Zhou?!"
Elder Qi asked tentatively with some uncertainty.
"Xiao Qi, you and I haven't seen each other for many years."
Zhou Qian and Elder Qi also have a friendship, and the mere title shows that they have a deep friendship.
"Ouch!"
After Elder Qi confirmed Zhou Qian's identity, he hurried forward and saluted respectfully: "Junior, see you, Senior Zhou!"
Zhou Qian's status in the Chinese spiritual world is very good. When he was young, he traveled around the world. Not only did he gain fame, but he also made many friends. More importantly, he never hesitated to support his juniors. Many outstanding juniors in today's spiritual world have
Because of Zhou Qian's benefits, he was highly respected by his descendants.
Elder Qi encountered a bottleneck when he was promoted to immortal when he was young, so he went out to travel. He happened to meet Zhou Qian who was also walking outside. Zhou Qian gave him some advice. Elder Qi became enlightened on the spot and directly overcame the thunder tribulation. Zhou Qian was there to protect him.
This incident made Elder Qi respect him very much and often treated him as half a master.
"I don't want Senior Zhou to come here. It's really rude. Please forgive me."
When people like Zhou Qian come to Tianchen Sect, even if Tianchen Sect is the number one sect in China, they have to open the gate and receive them grandly.
Such a high salary is not only because of Zhou Qian's seniority and prestige, but also because he is the most promising person in China to advance to the realm, and he is also the number one master in China by default!
"I came here unexpectedly on an impromptu basis, so I don't need so many courtesy."
Zhou Qian didn't like to deal with frivolous things, but the due etiquette must be maintained. Elder Qi asked his disciples to greet the elder one by one, and then ordered one of his disciples to go ahead and inform the sect of Zhou Qian's visit.
After being polite, Elder Qi led the way and led everyone from the Qingyuan Sect to the sect.
"Senior Zhou! Sect Master Chen! Why is His Highness Zhen missing from the team?"
Li Zhen's downfall was big news in the spiritual world. Some people watched the excitement, while others sighed with regret.
Now the news that Li Zhen is able to practice again has already come. In addition, everyone knows that he has received a great opportunity, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has become a man of the hour in the Chinese practice world.
Although Li Zhen did not publicly intend to attend the Tianchen Conference, almost everyone was looking forward to his arrival and believed that he would definitely come. However, they did not expect that he was not among the Qingyuan Sect's team that came to participate in the conference.
"Zhen'er was originally going to participate in this conference. After all, it is the best platform for the younger generation to exchange ideas and exchange ideas."
Zhou Qian said with a look of regret: "It's just that there was some minor accident on the way, so I couldn't see him anymore."
"That's such a shame!"
Elder Qi originally wanted to ask the reason, but Zhou Qian changed the subject and did not want to talk in depth, so he had no choice but to give up. Several disciples who were accompanying him also felt regretful. They also wanted to use this conference to get to know Li Zhen's style.
When Li Zhen was at his peak, he was hailed as the number one player of the younger generation.
This statement is actually not true. His talent and cultivation speed are indeed amazing, but he cannot be called the 'number one master'. Just because of his status as a prince, and everyone realizes that he has a high possibility of inheriting the throne, the cultivation world is willing to
Hold a handful.
In fact, Li Zhen was at the back of the team because outsiders could not recognize him after his disguise.
About an hour later, the mountain gate of Tianchen Sect came into view.
At this time, there were many high-ranking and powerful people of the sect standing at the mountain gate. Seeing the people from Qingyuan Sect arriving, an old man led a group of people from the Tianchen Sect and others came forward to greet them.
"You old guy, if you don't enjoy peace and happiness in Qingyuan Mountain, why are you here at Tianchen Sect? You're doing nothing for us and we will suffer."
The old man smiled heartily.
When Zhou Qian heard this, he also smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still the same as before, with a very harsh voice!"
Old friends meet again, they joke and are overjoyed.
