Chapter 3178: Real dragon and fake dragon, making money in silence

The results of this imperial examination were not as expected by Xiao Yuanyan. Su Youwei broke through before the battle, opened up the seven meridians, defeated Liu Xi, and then lost at the hands of Qi Yue. Zhou Yuan and Qi Yue fought in a battle. Both of them showed their magical powers and used all their abilities. Even Qi Yue used forbidden techniques to forcefully open the eight meridians, hoping to defeat Zhou Yuan in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, they lost to the protagonist's halo. Zhou Yuan showed Uncovering his true strength, he had opened the Six Meridians, cut off Qi Yue's arm with his own hands, ended the winning streak of the Second Academy, successfully won the title, and made Prince Qi's plan come to nothing.

However, what Zhou Yuan did also aroused the anger of Qi King Qi Yuan. He made a move in public and wanted to kill Zhou Yuan, but was blocked by Zhou Qing. The two forces almost came to blows, causing the division of the Zhou Dynasty.

Fortunately, King Qi Yuan was not carried away by anger, and finally bowed his head in submission and expressed his apology. Then both parties gave up and left.

There is an area on the northwest border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, called Canglan County, and outside Canglan County, there is a black land, like a continuous abyss, called the Black Abyss. This place is famous as a ferocious place in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are countless origin beasts in it, and they are extremely cruel. Therefore, no dynasty can occupy this area. This has also led to the gathering of countless casual cultivators, forming many large and small formations in it. power. These forces would invade the borders of the Zhou Dynasty from time to time, plunder and kill, and commit all kinds of evil.

Some time ago, someone discovered a ruins from this black abyss. Among them was a strange plant. It was as red as fire and grew by absorbing sunlight. Its seeds were like fire crystals, which were the fourth-grade source fire-eating spirit spikes. Source Master cultivation plays a huge role.

You know, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty now only has the second-grade source food Xuanjing rice. This food is of great benefit in opening the veins. The Zhou family has used this to attract many talents.

Only when the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its most prosperous did it possess the fourth-grade source food, blood dragon barley. The fourth-grade source food was a real strategic material, which could make a dynasty more prosperous and powerful, and enhance the strength and influence of the dynasty. He has the power to win over countless talented people.

Moreover, in this ruins, in addition to the fourth-grade fire-eating spirit spike, there is also a large jade-like tree. The large tree bears jade fruits, which are like babies. This is the jade baby fruit, which can increase longevity and is extremely precious.

Of course, this ruins is also guarded by a powerful source beast, which is very dangerous. The two kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not easy to obtain. This news spread to the Great Zhou City, attracting the attention of the royal family and the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and they began to send out manpower. , prepare to go to the Black Abyss and obtain these two kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The imperial city, the town of Zhou. Back then, the Wu family rebelled against the Great Zhou Dynasty and seized the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now this name is used as the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can be seen that this Great Wu family wanted to completely suppress the Great Zhou Dynasty and prevent it from being able to stand up.

Dawu Palace, one after another, the magnificent halls spread to the end of the sight. Towers stand tall. On each tower, there are tyrannical Origin Qi fluctuations, and the perception spreads, covering every corner of the palace. Compared with the palace of Dazhou, this Dawu Palace is undoubtedly more solemn and majestic, which demonstrates Dawu's powerful strength.

In an inner hall of the palace, behind the desk, sat a young man wearing a yellow robe. His skin was as fair as jade, his face was extremely handsome, and his eyebrows were as sharp as swords. Just sitting there, he exuded a noble aura, standing high above others, like a proud son of heaven. There is a faint aura rising behind him, like a dragon shadow entrenching and roaring. A bright red dot like blood is dotted between the boy's eyebrows, shimmering, mysterious and strange. This person is none other than the current crown prince of the Dawu Dynasty, Wu Huang.

Wu Huang looked through the memorial with an indifferent expression. He had seized Zhou Yuan's Holy Dragon Luck back then and had a special status in Dawu. He had participated in Dawu's national affairs early on.

At this time, a man walked in with a respectful expression, like a black shadow, and knelt down on the ground, his head close to the ground, not daring to raise it, and reported in a low voice.

"Your Highness, there is news from the secret prison."

Wu Huang raised his eyelids, reached out to take the bamboo tube, took out the paper roll inside, and slowly unfolded it. He frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure, and said coldly.

"Interesting, it turns out to be the Holy Dragon of the Zhou family. He is very lucky. His father sealed the Resentful Dragon Poison in his body, but he can still survive?"

"Your Highness, do you want to take action to get rid of him?"

The shadow kneeling on the ground raised his head slightly, showed a cautious expression, and said tentatively.

When Wu Huang heard the words, a look of disdain appeared on his handsome face, his eyes were heavy with pressure, and he said coldly.

"Now that Dawu is competing with the Ten Thousand Beasts Dynasty and the Sword Dynasty, how can he care about the lingering Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"But that Zhou Yuan, after all, once had the energy of a holy dragon and was known as the Zhou family's holy dragon."

The black shadow was a little hesitant. He would not kill the snake but would suffer from it instead. To be on the safe side, it would be best to eliminate the root cause.

When Wu Huang heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and the black shadow was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything. His body kneeling on the ground was trembling, obviously he was extremely afraid of Wu Huang.

Wu Huang's face was indifferent, the dragon energy rising behind him made him look extremely noble, and he spoke in a very calm tone.

"Zhou Yuan is not the real Holy Dragon. If he is really the Holy Dragon, then how could our Wu family succeed? The Holy Dragon's luck originally belonged to me, but there was just a small mistake in the middle. Now this The error has been corrected."

"Zhou Yuan is just a fake dragon. He has carried luck that does not belong to him, so in the end both he and Da Zhou paid the price. Only this prince is the real dragon, so the luck of the holy dragon will fall to me. On your body!"

When the black shadow heard this, his body trembled violently, and he kowtowed repeatedly, making a banging sound. After a while, the ground was stained with bright blood.

Wu Huang dropped the bamboo tube in his hand, then withdrew his majestic gaze and said coldly.

"Okay, Zhou Yuan, this useless dragon, has opened up the six meridians, but he is not even qualified to stand in front of me. There is no need to report his affairs in the future. It is a waste of my time. Now the Holy Son of the Boundless Continent Fighting is the most important thing. I need to practice hard to win this great fortune and opportunity. "

"Yes! The prince is a real dragon. Compared with you, Zhou Yuan is just an ant, not worth mentioning!"

Only then did the black shadow stop kowtowing, slightly raised his blood-red head, and complimented with great awe.

Wu Huang stared at the memorial in his hand, frowned again, thought for a moment, and said again.

"But now that I already know about this, I can't pretend that nothing happened. I'll go ahead and give more support to the Qi family and let them overthrow the Zhou family. If my father hadn't been hindered by his original oath, he wouldn't have taken action directly. If the Zhou Dynasty is annexed and destroyed, there will be no room for the Zhou family to make a fool of themselves!"

Wu Huang was like a real dragon. One word could determine life and death, and one word could determine the destruction of the country. It was as if Dazhou and Zhou Yuan were ants in his eyes and could be slaughtered by them at will.

The Black Abyss is a land full of dangers, but it is also full of opportunities.

In the long past, there were many powerful forces in the Black Abyss. These forces were more powerful than some of the surrounding dynasties today. However, I don’t know what happened later. All these extremely powerful forces disappeared, and the entire Black Abyss became the Origin Beast. Paradise, inaccessible.

Although those ancient forces disappeared, many relics were left in the Black Abyss, and there were treasures that countless Source Masters flocked to. People often got opportunities from the Black Abyss and reached the sky in one step, so there were more and more people in the Black Abyss. The more Source Masters come, they want to find opportunities, change their destiny against the will of heaven, and become the trendsetter of the times.

Of course, there are always very few such lucky ones. Most of the Source Masters were buried in this chaotic and bloody black abyss, becoming one of the numerous bones.

The ruins this time originally belonged to the War Puppet Sect. This is an ancient and powerful sect. It is said that it is good at making combat-type puppets with powerful power. Therefore, the ruins are full of various war puppets and are full of dangers. And the most troublesome thing is that there seems to be an extremely powerful war puppet in the ruins. It is a giant python war puppet. It has the fourth-grade python attribute beast soul as its core. Even a strong man from the Taichu realm will encounter it. Extremely troublesome.

Xiao Yuanyan rarely showed up since he won the first place in the First Academy. He worked hard to cultivate, and his cultivation strength steadily improved. He also heard the news that there were ruins in the black abyss, and came to this lawless and bloody land alone. , aroused many peeping glances along the way, treating him as a big fat sheep.

It's a pity that Xiao Yuanyan is a master at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He is ruthless and shows great strength. He kills many people with malicious intentions, and only then scares away all the evil eyes spying on him.

There are many forces, large and small, in the Black Abyss. They each occupy an area and are kings. In this area, there are two parties that cannot be messed with. One is the notorious Black Poison King, and the other is the Great Zhou Dynasty. General Wei Canglan, both of them were strong men in the Taichu realm who were not weaker than King Zhou Qing, and they had a blood feud with each other and were mortal enemies.

Naturally, Xiao Yuanyan would not seek death on his own, offend two strong men from the Taichu Realm, and walk alone in the black abyss, avoiding the scope of the two major forces.

Xiao Yuanyan walked in the black abyss for several days, and finally came to a city. This place was the Demon Prisoner City, the city closest to the discovered ruins. The city owner was a master in the late Tianguan realm. He is somewhat famous in the Black Abyss, so he can also occupy a city.

In the past, the Demon Prison City was not very lively, but due to the spread of the news about the ruins, the place was bustling with people and it was very lively. They were all Source Masters who came after hearing the news. They wanted to seize the Fire Spirit Spike and the Jade Infant Fruit, reach the sky in one step, and become the heaven. The proud son.

Recently, countless people have gone to the ruins every day. Although they dare not go too deep because it is full of all kinds of strange war puppets, it will be very troublesome once they are entangled, but there are still some lucky people who inadvertently I broke into some places and fished out some strange things, which attracted a lot of people. I sold a lot of source crystals and made a small profit.

Xiao Yuanyan simply repaired himself in the Prison Demon City, and then entered the ruins directly without fear of the dangers. He was also very interested in the Fire Spirit Spike and the Jade Infant Fruit. If there was a chance to get them, he would naturally Gotta give it a try.

The ruins of the Zhanpuppet Sect are about two hundred miles away from the Demon Prisoner City. It only took Xiao Yuanyan an hour to get there. He stood on a mountain peak and looked ahead. He saw deep in the dense and tall forest, filled with white mist and faint shadows. The ruins of many palaces can be seen.

There seems to be light shining above the ruins, exuding a trace of unknown danger. This is the source pattern barrier. The so-called Source Pattern Barrier is a more complex and complex way of using Source Patterns, just like a formation.

The barrier of the Zhanpuppet Sect and the Protector of the Sect has gone through ups and downs. It has existed for an unknown number of years and has long since been wiped out. Now there are only a few remnants left, but its power is still extraordinary. If you break in, you will accidentally trigger the remaining barrier, even if Even the strong men in the Taichu realm dare not underestimate him.

Xiao Yuanyan fell from the mountain peak and rushed straight into the depths of the ruins. Like a fish in the water, he avoided all the remaining barriers. He also encountered powerful war puppets on the way, and he killed them all with violent means. Successfully arrived at the deep valley where Huo Lingsui was.

Deep in the deep valley, in a piece of land, there is a fiery red plant swaying and glowing. The plant is fiery red, as if it is burning with flames, and a wave of pure origin energy is emitted, filled with a faint fragrance of vegetation.

Xiao Yuanyan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the fiery red plant, so bright that he couldn't look away.

"This is the fourth-grade source food, Fire Spirit Spike. With it, I can quickly enter the Tianguan realm!"

After this period of practice, Xiao Yuanyan has entered the late stage of the Qi-nurturing realm. He is only one step away from breaking through the sky, leaving the source of Qi from the body, moving mountains and splitting the earth, swallowing the world with anger, and becoming able to compete with Chu, the master of the Great Zhou Mansion. A great master comparable to Tianyang.

"I have to speed up. Zhou Yuan and General Wei Canglan, King Qi's eldest son Qi Hao and King Black Poison, the two forces are fighting for the Jade Infant Fruit and will be here soon!"

Xiao Yuanyan raised his head and looked in the direction of an island far away from the ruins. His eyes flashed with the light that destroyed everything. He saw the Qi machine that ordinary people could not see. Two strong men from the Taichu realm were confronting each other. The aura enveloped the universe and was vast. The majesty is definitely not something that Xiao Yuanyan today can resist.

Xiao Yuanyan's whole body Qi was restrained, without a trace leaking out. His body flashed and he came silently in front of the fire spike. The crimson light flickered on his face, which was extremely mysterious.

Xiao Yuanyan did not uproot the Fire Spirit Spike, but selected a part of the plump Fire Spirit Seed, picked it off, and put it into his pocket.

"Hey, let's keep half of the fire spirit spike plant and half of the fire spirit seeds here. Let Zhou Yuan and Prince Qi fight. I'd better choose to make a fortune in silence!"

After saying that, Xiao Yuanyan's figure flashed, and afterimages remained in the air before disappearing into the depths of the ruins.

Among Heiyuan and his party, Xiao Yuanyan made a fortune in silence, obtained half of the fire spirit seeds, cultivated them in a treasure land rich in origin energy, and then worked hard in cultivation, no longer paying attention to the secular affairs of the Zhou Dynasty. There were disputes, but they didn't know that the Zhou Dynasty was once again in turmoil because of Huo Lingsui.

Zhou Yuan teamed up with General Wei Canglan to defeat the Black Poison King, surrendered and controlled him, obtained the Jade Spirit Fruit and the Fire Spirit Spike, and killed Qi Hao, the eldest son of King Qi.

Great Zhou City, Prince Qi's Mansion.

"boom!"

Qi Wang Qi Yuan slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground. The pieces flew everywhere and shattered into pieces. His face was twisted, his eyes revealed hatred, and he said angrily.

"Younger Zhou Yuan actually dared to kill my son and also captured the Fire Spirit Spike. Damn it! I will cut him into pieces with a thousand knives and peel off his skin in order to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Next to him, the one-armed Qi Yue also looked in disbelief and murmured to himself.

"How is it possible? My eldest brother is in the late stage of Qi-nurturing realm. It is easy to kill Zhou Yuan. How could he fall into the hands of that loser? There must be something wrong!!"

One of Qi Hao's soldiers knelt on the ground, his body trembling, with a hint of fear and horror in his eyes, and he whispered.

"My subordinates don't know how Zhou Yuan did it, but the eldest master really killed himself."

"The eldest son has won over the Black Poison King, and Zhou Yuan has also received the support of General Wei Canglan. It should have been an advantageous situation. In the end, for some reason, the eldest son died in the hands of Zhou Yuan, and even the Black Poison King lost. To Wei Canglan!"

In fact, Zhou Yuan was able to win because he had the help of Yaoyao, who had the wisdom of heaven and earth. This girl was proficient in the art of source patterns and could carve fourth-level source patterns. She was accompanied by a source beast, Tuntun, whose appearance Like a puppy, its rank is unknown. In its infancy, it possesses the strength of Taichu Realm, possesses spiritual intelligence, and has extremely high bloodline.

Tuntun's body is a giant beast about ten feet tall. The giant beast's whole body is red and covered with fiery red scales. Its pair of beast eyes are like burning flames. In its open and closed beast mouth, there is a hidden light. A black light emerged, as if it could swallow everything.

Zhou Yuan even broke through to the Qi-nourishing realm in the Poison Prison City, and his combat power was no less than that of Qi Hao, a master in the late stage of the Qi-nourishing realm. With such a powerful force gathered around him, Qi Hao and the Black Poison King were naturally invincible. They were both dead and captured. , completely changed the situation of the Zhou Dynasty, and the royal family once again had a clear advantage.

"There is a little beast beside Zhou Yuan, who has the strength of the Taichu Realm. Even the giant python battle puppet was destroyed by it. There is also a girl in green who has a very high attainment in the source pattern and can carve the fourth grade source pattern!"

The guard reported everything he saw and heard to Qi Yuan, with a look of fear on his face, as if he was frightened by Zhou Yuan's powerful strength.

"Impossible! If the royal family had this kind of power, they would have taken action against Prince Qi's Mansion long ago!"

Qi Yuan clenched his fingers tightly, and his nails sank into his palms. There was faint red liquid dripping on the ground, and he said with an extremely gloomy expression.

"Everything my subordinate said is true!"

When the guard heard this, his face showed an anxious look, his awe in Qi Yuan was reduced a bit, and he said urgently.

Qi Yuan's face changed, sometimes green, sometimes purple, and uncertain. He did not doubt the loyalty of this guard, and he would never tell lies to deceive himself. He did not expect that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had such terrifying strength. Prince Qi's palace is now really The situation is that it is difficult to get off the tiger, and the situation is at stake.

"Now that the power of the royal family has greatly increased, we must make plans early. If it were before, if the Zhou royal family had such terrifying strength, I would definitely be able to capture it without mercy, but it is different now!"

A cold smile appeared on Qi Yuan's face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he said coldly.

"Thanks to Zhou Yuan, the crown prince of the Dawu Dynasty seems to dislike Zhou Yuan's existence for staining his eyes and ears. He has increased his support for me, Prince Qi's Mansion, and wants to use my hands, Prince Qi's Mansion, to get rid of this future trouble!"

"Qi Yue, we must leave Dazhou Mansion and return to Qi County now. If Zhou Yuan's son dares to kill your eldest brother, I will let his whole family be buried with your eldest brother!"

Qi Yuan stood up, looking in the direction of the palace with sinister eyes, looking as ferocious as a devil, and then stepped out, Qi Yue quickly followed behind him.
