Chapter 145: Take advantage of the situation!

It is said to be the spire, but in fact the top of the tower is a smooth and square platform.

The platform is about fifty meters in diameter, with several circular grooves engraved on a small portion of the ground in the center. The grooves are inlaid with runic arrays and sparkling pearls, making the throne shine.

When Xia Wudao and Shen Zhui landed on the ground, there was nothing strange.

No, there are still some. Zen Heart was excluded under the top of the tower, and only himself and Xia Wudao climbed up.

"Huh?" Shen Zhui found that his restraint seemed to be further relaxed, and his hands and feet resumed movement. However, Xia Wudao still had not completely let down his guard. Shen Zhui felt that the power was still swimming around him.

"This is where the last army of the Nine Nether Legion fell. The key to opening the sealed door is hidden there." There was a hint of excitement in Xia Wudao's eyes, but more of it was melancholy.

"This is unreasonable." Shen Zhui said. "Why did Emperor Xia hide the key here?"

Xia Wudao seemed to have no intention of answering, but looked at the throne.

Even when Shen Zhui grabbed a handful of elixirs from the storage ring and recovered them in front of Xia Wudao, the other party did not stop him and fell completely into a certain state.

"People have selfish motives. I guess Emperor Xia left a way out for himself back then, right?" Shen pursued.

"Let me think about it. The prince's surname is also Xia. He should have some relationship with Emperor Xia, or be a descendant of Emperor Xia, or his descendant. Otherwise, the prince would not know so much."

"Back then, the sects of the world forced Emperor Xia to seal the Nine Nether Bell. On the surface, Emperor Xia agreed, but secretly left a way out... Hmm, or is it a secret door?"

"Otherwise, the sealed door should be made more concealed so that no one can see it. Your Majesty, am I right?" Shen Zhui asked.

"Wrong." Xia Wudao said lightly.

"No one dares to force Emperor Xia!"

"The Emperor Xia indeed sincerely wanted to seal the Nine Nether Bell."

"Even after Emperor Xia fell, leaving this sealed door was not for selfish reasons, but for the sake of all living beings and the world!"

"How did Emperor Xia die?"

"You have too many questions." Xia Wudao said coldly.

"Then why didn't the prince kill me and instead brought me up?" Shen Zhui was not afraid, but took a step forward.

He chuckled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't kill me, it must be because I am still useful to you, right?"

"It's just that I really can't imagine what effect a mere magical power can have on the prince. Is it possible that the prince's current appearance is just a bluff?"

Xia Wudao remained silent, and Shen Zhui's suspicion became more and more certain.

"The prince can kill me, but he won't. If you are so ruthless and ruthless, you can even disregard the life of your son. Naturally, you won't take the life of an officer seriously. The matter of loyalty is nonsense from the beginning!"

"Is it for the key?" Shen Zhui was slightly stunned and came to a conclusion based on his guess.

"Your Majesty didn't kill me because of the key?"

After reaching this conclusion, Shen Zhui was a little surprised. He raised his chin and frowned: "Assuming that the official has a relationship with the key, the prince can directly control me and plant a soul restriction."

"But Xiaguan is alive and well, which proves that...Xiaguan cannot become a soul servant. In other words...if you want to enter this place, your soul must be absolutely 'free'."

"In addition, it also proves that the prince lost the opportunity to open the key... No, it was Xia Jing's body that lost the opportunity to open the key!"

"Xia Jing...is dead, right?"

Xia Wudao's eyes moved slightly, noncommittal, still staring at the throne.

Shen Zhui continued to analyze: "In the beginning, the prince used Xia Jing's body to set up a large formation to open the barrier. Through the secret method, I clearly observed that Xia Jing's divine power was nearly exhausted."

"The prince did not use illusions on me at that time, so Xia Jing's weak state was not a disguise."

"A low-ranking official is not talented. Although he is only at the ninth level of supernatural power, it is not a big problem to kill a completely undefended venerable at the first level. Xia Jing should have been severely injured by me in the first attack."

"After that, the prince was always at a disadvantage under the siege of my seven clones..."

A trace of thought flashed in Shen Zhui's eyes. "It's because at that time, Xia Jing was still alive, and in a strange body, even if it was his direct bloodline, there would always be some 'in the way'.

If you want to exert your own strength on a living venerable body, this method of seizing the body may not even be perfected by the Corpse Puppet Sect. But it would be different if Xia Jing died.

Therefore, in order to maximize the power of his Divine Mind Cutting Body, the prince killed Xia Jing during my second attack and completely controlled Xia Jing's body with his Divine Mind Cutting Body. "

"With the same origin, as soon as the prince took control of Xia Jing's body, he immediately made the subordinate unable to fight back."

"However... the prince still has Xia Jing's body, and he has also used the supreme secret method to delay the physical body's collapse, and even injected huge vitality into it to delay the death of this physical body."

"So the second condition for getting the key... is that you need the blood of Emperor Xia's descendants!"

At this moment, Xia Wudao took a deep look at Shen Zhui and finally spoke: "Shen Zhui, you are very smart. I really admire you."

"Only now do I think you really have a chance to obtain the key left by Emperor Xia."

Shen Zhui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something unclear. Please enlighten me."

"speak."

"Why Xia Jing? There are many talents in Prince Liang's palace, and there are many people who are stronger than Xia Jing. Why not choose someone with a higher level of cultivation? Wouldn't it be more in line with common sense to enter the battlefield of gods and demons at the fourth level of the Venerable, or the middle level? Some?"

"Now that a Venerable like Xia Jing is allowed to enter at the first level, won't it make the sect alliance even more suspicious?"

"Because of the battle to seal the king."

"Marquis Wu'an decides when to fight for the title of king, but when it ends, whether it is victory or defeat, I have the final say!" Xia Wudao said proudly.

"If the traitorous spy is discovered, he will die in the Jiuyou Realm without any evidence. If he is not discovered, he will stay in the Jiuyou Realm and become a hostage in the deal between Gu and the sect alliance."

"Whether he gets the key or not, he will never come back to Dazhou again."

"After Gu gets the key, Xia Jing has no use value. It doesn't matter whether he is alive or dead as a first-level Venerable who has failed repeatedly."

A slight chill ran down Shen Zhui's spine. He already had a deep understanding of this ruthless King of Liang, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

For the sake of your own plan, you can give up anything, even your biological son. How fucking stupid is this?

"Why does the prince think that I can get the key?" Shen asked.

"You can definitely do it." Xia Wudao's tone was extremely certain.

"Then how come the prince will definitely give it to you when he sees me getting the key? At worst, I would rather die than surrender. If I don't go in and let the prince kill me, I will die generously." Shen Zhui said.

"Hahaha." Xia Wudao suddenly laughed. "No, you won't."

"I don't know how many people I have met in my life, and how many strong-willed people I have met who are not afraid of death."

"You are not afraid of death, and it has been calculated in Gu's hexagram that even if I kill you now, I'm afraid you will not really die."

Shen Zhui was shocked. He had indeed written down the magical power of [Golden Cicada Escapes from Its Shell] on the holy page. Even if he is killed by King Liang now, it is not a real death. This is the real strength of his competition with King Liang. However, this seemed to be known to King Liang.

"Although Gu doesn't know what method you will use to escape, don't worry, Gu will not be stupid enough to threaten you with death. This is not your weakness."

Xia Wudao smiled strangely, waved his hand and said, "She is the one!"

Huh~ I saw a curtain of water appearing in front of Xia Wudao.

A picture appears on the water curtain.

On the screen, two figures appeared.

One is a young man in casual clothes. In the distance, there is a sea of ​​flowers and an elegant bamboo building.

The other one is a girl wearing a white dress with an extremely delicate face.

There was a voice coming from the water curtain: "Shen Zhui, my true identity is the daughter of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Princess Anle Ji Zixuan."

"I am willing, Shen Zhui, I really am willing..."

"But my father wants to marry me to the Fan family and control the South China Sea..."

"Let's elope, take my adopted father and adopted mother with us, and escape outside the country..."

"No, it's impossible."

Time accelerated, the scene turned, and the two figures suddenly appeared in the room.

"Master Hou, Master Hou has promised to help us. Just listen to me. As long as you..."

"Shen Zhui, I will wait for you in Kyoto..."

…………

Buzz~The screen ends.

"You..." Shen Zhui's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The scene above was clearly the time when I and Zixuan had their heartfelt conversations with each other, and Zixuan revealed her true identity.

He, he knew it all!

"How could, how could it be possible..." Shen Zhui gritted his teeth.

"Princess Anle, born as a god, Xuanyue Immortal Island, inherited from the South China Sea."

"During the winter hunting banquet and sacrifice in the first and second months of the year, the Fan family twice intended to propose marriage to the royal family, but was blocked by Yan Guan."

"Gu Ye is very confused. Although Zhao Xing has a force to help in the court, he never refuses to use it easily. After careful investigation, he found that Princess Nanhai once lived in the Wu'an Army, and she also had a secret love for you."

"Tell me, if Gu Ruo reveals all this now and lets the Fan family know, what do you think... will be the consequences?" Xia Wudao smiled.

"Prince Liang, you are too shameless." Shen Zhui's face was ashen.

"I haven't taken any action yet."

"But you can't tell for sure after that." Xia Wudao chuckled. "Originally, the first thing I thought of was your adoptive father and mother."

"But you are very cautious. There are two black and white guards who follow your adopted father and adopted mother at all times and never leave Luo Xuefeng. The cost of catching your adopted father and adopted mother is too high and it is not worth it."

"I didn't expect that Princess Nanhai would fall in love with you, and you would be willing to give up your fame for her."

Xia Wudao said lightly: "Shen Zhui, Gu can satisfy you what you ask for. As long as you are willing to stand by Gu's side and help Gu obtain the key, my support is far more important than that of Marquis Wu An!"

"How to choose, it's up to you."

In silence, Shen Zhui felt gloomy. Prince Liang had indeed taken advantage of him.

If this matter is exposed, people will talk about it. It will be more difficult for him to marry the princess in the future. The point is, if the Fan family knows about this matter, they will probably find a way to deal with it immediately.

Once the Emperor's decree comes ahead of schedule, it will be irreversible.

"Okay, I promise you, but only if you go in." Shen Zhui gritted his teeth. "This is not a surrender. Whether you can get it or not is another matter."

"Furthermore, you need to make a blood oath not to reveal this matter."

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with Gu." Xia Wudao said coldly. "However, Gu agreed!"

"Okay." Xia Wudao waved his hand, and a pale golden mark immediately appeared above his head.

"I swear by my blood, the great road, and my inner demons, the contract will last forever!"

After that, part of the pale golden mark disappeared into the void, and part entered Xia Wudao's body.

Shen Zhui nodded. In fact, he also understood that this contract was just a cover. As the top true god, King Liang probably had too many ways to get rid of this thing.

"Prince Liang threatened me with this, so I might as well use his trick and threaten him with the key in return." Shen Zhui thought to himself, only by getting the key can he have the capital to negotiate with Prince Liang.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhui felt confident.

"What should I do?" Shen Zhui asked.

"Poof~" A blood flower burst out from Xia Wudao's body, and then a stream of blood floated out from Xia Jing's body.

"Buzz~" The blood turned into threads, forming a circular light mask in mid-air with densely packed runes on it.

"Go in." Xia Wudao shouted.

Shen Zhui took a deep breath and immediately jumped into the bloody cover.

"What to do next."

"Gu has already cast the bloodline mark. You can go in. It's up to you to figure out what to do." Xia Wudao said lightly.

Shen Zhui raised his head and glanced ahead. The ancient throne was floating in the air, and the nine ancient corpse warriors exuded a faint power of rules.

"Change!" Shen Zhui sensed it carefully for a moment, and immediately used the phaseless magic technique, and it became exactly the same as Xia Jing's aura. Even the soul was 99% identical, with only a trace of life mark different.

Xia Wudao's eyes flashed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"what happens?"

"have no idea."

"Where's the key."

"Not sure."

"..."

Shen Zhui frowned, this was like trying his luck.

King Liang saw the magic of his own merit barrier and looked for Shuyuan www.zhaoｈhuyuan.com. But he did not know what the merit barrier was.

Shen Zhui is now not sure whether with more than nine million good deeds, he can break through the barrier of rules, step forward and find the key.

"I hope the Wuxiang Divine Art can deceive this barrier." Shen Zhui thought to himself.

The blood mark drove Shen Zhui forward.

As we get closer and closer to the throne...

"Dong dong dong~" A wave of heart palpitations came from Shen Zhui's body.

Finally, when he was only half a meter away from the throne, the bloodline mark seemed to have lost its effect and he could no longer go any further.

Seeing that the bloodline mark was about to be dissipated, Shen Zhui knew that he might not be able to get in with the phaseless magic technique and the bloodline mark alone, so he immediately took a deep breath and opened the merit barrier.

"Buzz~" The bloodline mark suddenly accelerated and the space rotated. Shen Zhui's eyes darkened and he fainted immediately.
