The man in black nodded, and stretched out a withered hand like a chicken claw from under the black robe, and spread it out with a fat white maggot lying on it. He handed it to King Yongzhen, who hesitated for a moment.
, then took it over
He raised his neck and swallowed the maggot.
The man in black stretched out his hand to shake his hand approvingly: "From now on, we are brothers."
King Yongzhen asked: "When can I see the king?"
"Don't worry, do your own thing well, and you will naturally be received by the king." The man in black said, taking out a map and handing it to him: "This is the first task the king has given you, go and assemble
The remnants of your troops, find this place and follow the traces."
When King Yongzhen looked at the map, the man in black continued: "The king attaches great importance to this matter. If you do a good job, you will have the opportunity to meet the king after this time."
"Okay!" King Yongzhen was a little excited and agreed immediately.
His power is not limited to Yong'an City. He is also very clear about the principle of considering defeat before victory. He has prepared three escape routes in other cities. In addition, there are six secret shelters. These
All arrangements are guarded by strong men.
A month later, he gathered his remaining men, a total of 1,200 people. However, he could not take all of them. He selected and took away 200 of them, leaving the rest in a secret location to continue.
With improved training, these people will be the real team for his revenge.
He took two hundred people to the big mountain on the map. This mountain is called... the Silent Mountain in this world!
He kept walking north and arrived at the northern end of the Silent Magic Mountain. It was extremely cold here, and even the powerful Life Soul Warriors had to wear furs to walk here.
But when he followed the directions on the map and found the suspicious trail, he was surprised to find that it was a trace burned by flames. Even now, these traces still exude a burning feeling.
.
The traces continued intermittently, heading towards the west, and then disappeared into a huge ice lake. Thinking about the king's summons, he became very passionate and refused to give up, so he dispersed all his men and searched around the ice lake.
It is very dangerous here. Powerful spiritual beasts are everywhere. They can spit out all kinds of ice wind, ice flames, and ice cracking bombs... After losing more than half of his two hundred elite men, they finally found themselves in a hidden valley.
, and found that trace again.
This time the trace turns and heads north. There is a vast and boundless wilderness. Most of the year, the soil here will be frozen as hard as steel.
There are no cities here, just underground villages and towns.
There is no way to survive on the ground, so people here take advantage of the warm season of only three months every year to quickly dig some holes. When the cold weather comes, the ground freezes hard, and these "buildings" underneath become
Extremely safe and much warmer than on the ground.
After many years of development, the pits underneath gradually expanded in size and were connected to each other. There were many passages and ventilation holes leading to the ground, forming underground villages and towns.
I imagine that as long as the people here can find a kind of food that can be grown on a large scale underground, the population here can grow on a large scale, and eventually cities will appear.
But now, they only rely on the rhizomes of some plants to survive, with low yields and a single type of food. These underground people are short and thin and often die young.
King Yongzhen led his men to kill here, and he was simply the god here! His life soul warriors slaughtered these underground people unscrupulously, and encountered almost no decent resistance.
The living standard of the people here is even lower than that of the small village where Song Zheng first came to the Land of No Return. There are not many Life Soul Warriors, and even those who have are not above the spiritual level.
They followed the burning traces and massacred seven or eight villages along the way. On this day, they suddenly met a man on the ice field. He was tall and thin, and his eyes were frozen, as if he had been blind. On his body
, King Yongzhen’s people could not feel the power of the Soul Warrior, so they swarmed up, trying to kill this man like the previous massacre, and then continued their pursuit.
However, a large amount of flames surged out of this man's body. These flames were extremely terrifying and burned everyone instantly, forming a huge sea of fire in the wasteland.
Among the life-soul warriors under King Yongzhen, the strongest is an ancient god, and the weakest is at the spirit-killing level, but none of them have the slightest resistance when facing this kind of flame! Even
When the ancient god level wanted to escape, the flames came out of his body and instantly burned him into a ball of ashes.
The vast fire finally burned King Yongzhen. He screamed and cursed loudly. He did not expect that he would suffer such a cruel punishment after being resurrected and eventually die.
The man controlled the flames very skillfully. After burning King Yongzhen to ashes, he left behind a fat and white maggot.
He pinched the maggot with two fingers, kneaded it gently, and said to himself: "There is some familiar smell...which one is it?"
The fat maggots turned into ashes in the flames at his fingertips. He turned around and looked toward the vast south. After a moment of thoughtfulness, he took steps to break the ice sheet and headed south.
…
When Song Zheng left Yong'an City, only Quan Heyi came to see him off. Although Mao Yonggong had to participate in his action of deposing the true emperor, he was unwilling to face him because of his deep grudge.
Quan Heyi apologized: "You saved my father, and I still have no way to thank you. You don't care about everything we can give."
Song Zheng thought for a while and said: "You are in charge of the Imperial City Department and help me keep an eye on some things secretly."
"No problem, just say it."
"If there are some weird flames or abilities related to flames somewhere, please tell me immediately."
"good."
Song Zheng waved his hand: "Go back, I have to say goodbye after a long journey, let's go!"
He turned around and left coolly, while Quan Heyi stood behind, watching his motorcade go away, with a trace of confusion in his eyes: She still can't understand what kind of person he is.
He actually doesn't care much about those who have offended him. Unless it's too much, he looks harmless most of the time.
He is also willing to provide some help free of charge, and this help can often turn the situation around.
But he dethroned the true emperor but behaved extremely tyrannically and cruelly. But for such a major matter, what was his purpose? Is it really just because Xiang Dongliu fell in love with his daughter?
Quan Heyi shook his head: I can’t see through it.
…
Song Zheng walked towards Tianlong City unhurriedly. When he passed several cities on the way, he unexpectedly discovered that the goal he had worked hard to achieve before was to spread his fame throughout the world. He had achieved it unintentionally!
His reputation for deposing the true emperor spread throughout the world!
In these cities, the discussions he overheard in restaurants and teahouses were all related to this matter. It was unintentional. He had done so many things before, but his reputation was not widespread. He didn't expect to get angry.
I did something randomly, and the effect was so good.
In fact, what he did and the process of doing it were too "child's play". Even if King Yongzhen succeeded in usurping the throne, the sensation it caused in the world was far less than him.
After Song Zheng discovered this, he seemed relaxed on the surface, but secretly became serious. He took extra precautions along the way to prevent the monster Skyfire from suddenly attacking.
But when we got to Tianlong City, nothing happened.
The family is now divided into two factions:
Huang Shan and others are very troubled by the master's current reputation, not for anything else, but because they are worried that once their identity is revealed, some self-righteous fools will come to cause trouble, and they will spend a lot of money to fight with such fools.
.
But Zhao Mang and Qiu Changtian were very excited, thinking that this would be "powerful to the world". If you dare to come to trouble with that blind eye, grandpa will beat you until your parents don't even recognize you!
So when they were under Tianlong City, the two factions quarreled. Although Qiu Changtian was old and fat, he was very energetic and full of energy.
I want this bullshit real emperor of Tianlong City to come out to greet him personally. If he dares to neglect him, we will destroy him!"
"What is the identity of our master? What is the ability of our young master? Such a person should be earth-shattering. This is just a low profile of the master. If you follow me, you should bring out all the true emperors of the twelve imperial cities and let them
They formed an alliance and publicly elected our master as the Supreme Emperor!"
"Then make a rule. From now on, if the true emperors of these bullshit imperial cities want to pass the throne to their descendants, they must have permission from our master. Only then is it reasonable and legal, otherwise they will not be able to become true emperors!"
"How majestic and domineering!"
Ming Yuanyuan frowned and tugged on Uncle Qiu's sleeve, "Don't get too carried away, the master is a little unhappy."
Sure enough, Song Zheng commented on him very pertinently: "Get lost."
Qiu Changtian sat down dejectedly, and Song Zheng said: "Let's go to the city. It's the same as before. Don't cause trouble and don't be afraid of trouble."
"yes."
Qiu Changtian secretly entered the Imperial City to try his luck, but later returned to Baizhan City in despair. He felt resentful towards the Imperial City. Now he was standing under Tianlong City with mixed feelings in his heart. He wished that some fool would come and cause trouble soon.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden noise in front of him, and someone shouted arrogantly: "What's in this box? Open it and check it out!"
