"Congratulations to Senior Brother Chen!" Han Yuankui sincerely congratulated with fists in his hands.
Liu Susu pursed her lips and said, "Oh my, in just one or two days, my junior brother turned into a senior brother~"
Even Zhao Yingxin, who has a cold temperament, couldn't help but smile: "It seems that from now on, even I will respect you as Senior Brother Chen."
Chen Shen touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly...
After a while, Zhao Yingxin said: "Now that the mission is completed, let's go to the Arctic Palace to return to life."
"Yes, yes. The original one-month mission deadline has now been completed in just a few days. We still have a lot of time to explore the secular world." Porcelain doll Liu Susu's face was full of excitement.
Despite the fact that they are all lofty geniuses in the eyes of secular cultivators, in reality they are all under their age and are still at an age where they love to play and make love crazy.
Mu Piaopiao hurriedly took over the conversation: "I heard that there is a Jinyu Restaurant in the Arctic Kingdom. The head chef is a spiritual chef with a three-star spiritual level. He was originally a casual cultivator in the cultivation world, and he was once vigorously recruited by the Qingyun Sect.
Pass."
"It's just that the chief chef was tired of the disputes in the cultivation world, so he exchanged the right to use the teleportation array with a certain sect with a gluttonous feast and came to the secular world to enjoy his old age."
"Wow! The dishes made by the three-star spiritual chef Xuan Cuisine must be extremely delicious, and they are also of great benefit to the growth of cultivation." Mu Lili's eyes lit up.
Han Yuankui interjected at an inappropriate time: "Lingjie Xuanshi, just a few dishes must be sky-high prices, right?"
Chen Shen waved his hand grandly: "It's okay, I still have a lot of gold coins in my Space Mysterious Ring. Anyway, I won't need it in the world of cultivation in the future. I'll just take it all out and treat everyone to a feast!"
"Ha, then we made a profit today."
"Hehe, Senior Brother Chen has greatly improved his strength overnight, so it's time for us to treat him."
"Let's go, let's go, the greedy worm in my stomach is screaming..."
Everyone rode flying mounts and waited until the early morning of the third day before they could vaguely see the outline of the Arctic Kingdom's imperial city.
Chen Shen couldn't help but secretly sigh: "Slow, too slow. With the power of the glazed sky feathers, I can fly back and forth in half a day."
"Huh? What is that?"
With his superhuman soul perception, the young man could feel the murderous aura in the city from a long distance away. Every household in the streets had their doors and windows closed, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
When the mount fell further, Zhao Yingxin seemed to notice something strange in the city, and couldn't help but frown: "There seem to be several legions fighting against each other in the city?"
"Ah? No, right..."
Liu Susu looked intently and murmured suspiciously after a moment: "It's strange. Looking at their clothes and armor, they are clearly soldiers of the Arctic Kingdom. Why are they so tense when facing their own people?"
Everyone looked puzzled, but Chen Shen guessed something, and thought to himself: "The news of Bei Muran's death is probably spreading, and the remaining princes are forming a gang, preparing to seek the throne, right?"
In fact, he guessed it right.
Originally, the second prince Bei Lieyang was the highly anticipated candidate for the crown prince. His prestige was the highest among all the princes, whether in the military or in the government and the public.
But now, His Majesty has mysteriously disappeared, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince is also missing.
This is a godsend opportunity for other princes who covet the throne.
Therefore, each of them tried their best to win over civil servants and military generals, hoping to ascend the throne as king as soon as possible.
When everything is done, unless Bei Muran returns in person, even if Bei Lieyang is lost and returns, it will be of no use——
After all, he is only a two-star Xuan King. If he loses the opportunity, it is impossible to overthrow the established new king by himself.
If Bei Mu Ran comes back, the prince who seizes the throne can shirk his guilt by saying, "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and I have no choice but to do this for the sake of the overall situation." As long as he gives up the throne immediately, not only his life will be safe
, even after Bei Mu Ran died, this prince could still inherit the throne.
Which prince could not be tempted by this kind of business that guarantees a profit without losing any money?
As a result, the military and political circles of the Arctic Kingdom were completely in chaos...
"Hoo ho, ho ho!"
Several flying mounts accidentally landed, and they were immediately spotted by sharp-eyed people: "Your Highness, Third Prince, aren't those disciples of the Qingyun Sect?"
"Your Highness the Eighth Prince, look, they are those people from the Qingyun Sect."
"Master Eleven, why don't we bribe these Qingyun Sect disciples? On a certain level, they can completely represent the Qingyun Sect."
"As long as these people choose to support you, you can act righteously. With the banner of Qingyun Sect, other princes will not dare to compete with you for the throne!"
…
For a time, almost all the prince's staff came up with the same strategy: bribe the Qingyun Sect disciples to make them speak out.
However, when they came to explain their intentions one after another, they were all rejected by Zhao Yingxin without exception.
She is a smart woman and will not be used as a swordsman.
Moreover, cultivators are not allowed to interfere in disputes in the secular world. Zhao Yingxin doesn't care what others do. Anyway, she will definitely not act recklessly under the banner of the sect for some personal gain.
This alone is enough for Chen Shen to praise him as "he emerges from the silt but remains unstained."
Thinking about the other people in the Qingyun Sect he met, which one didn't regard human life in the secular world as nothing in order to gain benefits and resources?
This was the case for the former Qingyun Sect envoy, and it was also the case for Elder Nan Xiangfeng at the Hundred Sects' Disciple Recruitment Ceremony...
As a result, despite the fierce fighting among the princes in the city, these Qingyun Sect disciples were sitting peacefully and contentedly in the elegant pavilion of Jinyu Restaurant, enjoying a feast.
"Tell me, how could this perfectly good leader of the Arctic Kingdom disappear?"
"Who knows!"
"In my opinion... this may have been done by the old monster who escaped from the Lion's Mouth Cave."
"Well, it's very possible. If that old monster escapes, I wonder how many more innocent people he will kill in the future?"
Chen Shen listened to a few people chatting and smiled secretly: "Hey, that old guy died a long time ago, and there is no way he will cause trouble again."
Speaking of which, the ancestor of the inner demon is dead, but he still wants to "take the blame" for Chen Shen. He is a veritable scapegoat!
Everyone has had a good meal and it's time to settle the bill.
When Chen Shen brought out a full two billion in cash, people were really surprised.
Who would carry so many gold coins with them?
How could they know that Chen Shen had plundered these from the royal treasury.
In addition, the Space Mysterious Ring of Bei Lieyang and others actually contains many silver notes from the Arctic Kingdom, with the total denomination amounting to tens of billions of gold.
It's a pity that Chen Shen couldn't use these banknotes - he was originally from the Kingdom of Daxia, and later joined the sect until he returned to the Arctic Kingdom for the first time a few days ago.
Under such circumstances, how could he possess such a huge amount of Arctic bank notes? This is obviously unreasonable. If he uses it, it will definitely arouse suspicion...
After eating and drinking, Zhao Yingxin, the team leader, gave everyone twenty days of leave.
He also made an appointment with everyone to gather in the imperial capital twenty days later and use the power of the teleportation array to return to the sect.
Chen Shen was so happy that he politely declined Liu Susu's invitation to travel with the twin girls and left the city alone...
