Chapter 1412: Heart of the Dragon Vein

After confirming that the two men did not have the means to recover their magic power or self-destruct, Zhou Yiqiao exchanged them with the followers again.

"This is the person that Her Royal Highness the Princess has specifically asked to look after. Make sure nothing goes wrong."

After he finished speaking, he threw out a dozen bottles of cultivation pills to his followers.

"I will have to trouble you to take more care of yourself from now on. Use these pills to make up for the lost time in cultivation."

These followers who had been following Luo Lishang knew of Zhou Yiqiao's extraordinary attainments in the art of alchemy as early as when Zhou Yiqiao and Li Changming were debating on the art of alchemy.

Therefore, when he saw Zhou Yiqiao offering such a generous reward, he immediately accepted the pills with gratitude and promised that he would keep a close eye on the two spies.

Nodding to accept everyone's gratitude, Zhou Yiqiao sent a message to Luo Lishang in the distance, asking the latter to take charge of the current situation, and then left.

After patrolling the periphery for about half an hour, the tired-looking Luo Lishang finally got some useful information from the two spies.

"How about it? What forces do these two belong to?"

Zhou Yiqiao saw Luo Lishang looking tired and asked with concern.

"I was overthinking it. These two people are the hidden chess pieces of the Sheng family, and the master behind them is Sheng Guangde himself."

"Sheng Guangde originally wanted to plant an insider next to me, and Luo Shanhu happened to have this idea, so he came up with a plan to reverse the yin and yang."

"Over the years, Luo Shanhu has sent three waves of people to lurk around me."

"Once they were sent by Sheng Guangde, once they were sent by her mother, the current queen, and the last time they were the spies that Luo Shanhu asked Sheng Guangde for."

"The latter two groups of spies know each other's background, so they often work together to test the intelligence around me."

"As for the two spies that Sheng Guangde sent at the beginning, apart from Sheng Guangde himself, even Luo Shanhu and the current queen were completely unaware of them, not to mention that the subordinates they sent could recognize the two spies."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but feel a chill at Sheng Guangde's cunning.

Fortunately, Luo Lishang mastered the art of searching souls, otherwise, an ordinary person would never have thought that these two people were from the same force as the other spies.

When he thought of Sheng Guangde being so wary of Luo Lishang, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly remembered the open and secret struggles between the Immortal Emperor Luo Fengtian and Sheng Guangde before the winter hunt began.

Could it be that the reason why Sheng Guangde was so wary of Luo Lishang was also related to the conflict between the Immortal Emperors?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

Luo Lishang saw Zhou Yiqiao's expression and couldn't help but express his concern.

"It doesn't matter."

There was one mystery after another at hand and there was no solution for the time being. Zhou Yiqiao was too lazy to think about it and changed the subject.

"Now that we have figured this out, it's time for us to set off."

Luo Lishang looked at his profile, was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

No matter how the government and the people fight overtly and covertly, at least now is the time for winter hunting as stipulated by Luo Fengtian.

Only by hunting a sufficient number of ferocious beasts and ensuring that they can gain Luo Fengtian's favor, can they put their minds at ease and deal with their own affairs.

Fortunately, the requirements set by Luo Fengtian were not too difficult for cultivators of the strength of Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang.

The two men's target was a monster that was one level stronger than their own, so they kept their eyes straight ahead and headed straight for the core area of ​​Canglong Ridge.

Luo Fengtian borrowed the power of the Great Mysterious Sky Dragon Qi to forcefully upgrade the monsters in Canglong Ridge in a short period of time, so most of them were still in a violent state after their sudden increase in strength, making them difficult to control.

The two men moved forward with a group of followers. Along the way, they saw many traces of destruction caused by monsters and beasts, and also encountered many low-level monsters that could not control themselves and actively sought death.

"Even if there is a great opportunity, it is not a lucky thing if you don't have the ability to control it."

After a palm took the life of a demon beast in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, Luo Lishang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

After searching around, Zhou Yiqiao walked out of the jungle nearby and interrupted Luo Lishang's sigh.

"There is no time for Her Royal Highness Princess to be sad. We may have entered the place where the dragon energy descended."

"The place where the dragon energy landed? How is this possible!"

Luo Lishang was slightly stunned when she heard this, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.

"Father clearly threw the dragon energy to the center of Canglong Ridge in front of everyone. How could it be possible to run here?"

Zhou Yiqiao didn't explain and raised his hand to push away the bushes around him.

Behind the trees, a strange scene came into view.

I saw an open space in front of me, and in the middle of the ground, there was a golden iron rod stuck in it.

The dragon energy released by Luo Fengtian condensed into a tiny golden dragon, which was circling around the iron rod.

Dozens of monsters were crawling on the ground around the iron rod, and the aura they exuded was all at the realm of refining emptiness without exception!

Not only that, because they were close to the dragon energy, the cultivation of these monsters did not stop there.

On the contrary, their cultivation was like a flood that had been opened. Their pressure continued to rise, and in just a short moment, they had all reached a higher level.

"This iron rod...seems to be somewhat extraordinary."

Zhou Yiqiao said in a deep voice, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

He turned around and looked at Luo Lishang happily with a questioning look in his eyes.

The golden light flowing on the iron rod continuously controlled the dragon energy within this extremely small range, and even produced a certain resonance with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Otherwise, with so many demon beasts in the realm of virtual refining gathered together, with such subtle dragon energy, it would be absolutely impossible for such a scene of collective promotion to occur.

"This iron rod looks like the legendary 'heart of the dragon vein'."

"The heart of the dragon vein?"

Zhou Yiqiao's face changed suddenly when he heard this.

Naturally, he had heard of the legend of the Dragon's Heart.

Only the gold and iron in the place where the national destiny converges, after being refined by tens of trillions of national destiny, can it be possible to create a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

Rumor has it that as long as someone obtains the heart of the dragon vein, they can easily control the destiny of a country.

"good."

Luo Lishang responded, but seemed afraid that Zhou Yiqiao would misunderstand him, so he explained again.

"However, Canglong Ridge, as the royal hunting ground, has long been thoroughly investigated by Daxuantian. There is absolutely no chance that a treasure like the Dragon Vein Heart will appear there."

"Besides, the heart of the dragon vein is protected by destiny. Unless the destiny of a country is destroyed, no force can change it in the slightest."

"A regular shape like this iron rod is definitely not formed naturally, but a man-made imitation. It just imitates the effect of the Dragon Vein Heart, but it does not have the same supernatural effect as the Dragon Vein Heart."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded in agreement, but new problems immediately arose.

"As Her Royal Highness Princess said, Canglong Ridge is the royal hunting ground, and every monster in it is under the strict surveillance of Daxuantian. Then who put this treasure similar to the Dragon Vein Heart in front of us?"

After these words were spoken, Luo Lishang, who had been talking eloquently just now, fell silent.

Obviously, she also realized the problem.

Judging from the poor acting between Luo Fengtian and Prime Minister Wei, the only ones who knew that Luo Fengtian would use the Great Mysterious Sky Dragon Qi to forcibly increase the cultivation level of the monsters should be those trusted ministers of Luo Fengtian.

And among these people, how many have the courage to disobey the imperial edict?

"Could it be that the people around the emperor are connected with Sheng Guangde?"

Luo Lishang made a bold assumption.

"Apart from every Immortal Emperor, only Sheng Guangde's daughter, the current Queen, has seen the true appearance of the Dragon Vein Heart during the enthronement ceremony. She is the only one who has the opportunity to imitate a similar product."

Luo Lishang was thinking about it, but felt something was strange.

Just when the two were at a loss, news suddenly came that someone was approaching from their followers who were arranged by them to spread out on guard.

The two of them didn't have time to think about it, and didn't even move the iron rods and dragon energy on the open space. They used the art of concealment and quickly merged into the world.

The next moment after they disappeared, the two teams hurried to where they were staying.

The two teams are very powerful. Even the weakest person in the team has reached the late stage of refining emptiness.

The leader of one of the parties was dressed in a white robe with long sleeves and was good at dancing. His handsome features and warm smile made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

The leader of the other side was a sturdy and burly man with a face full of flesh and deep and bright eyes. Every move he made gave people a feeling of being powerful and majestic.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!? How could it be him?"

The moment Luo Lishang saw the man in white, he was so surprised that his concealment technique began to loosen.

Fortunately, Zhou Yiqiao was quick-witted and took him into his arms, increasing the strength of his own magic, thus barely ensuring that the two of them were not exposed to the two teams of powerful monks.

"Don't get excited! Let's see what they are going to do first!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Lishang pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yiqiao grabbed Luo Lishang and hid in the dark, quietly spying on the movements of this group of people.

"It really is the Dragon Heart Pillar. Third sister really didn't lie to me!"

The leading man in white, who was the current crown prince Luo Ang mentioned by Luo Lishang, closed the silver jade fan in his hand with a "snap" and pointed the handle of the fan at the iron rod in the center of the open space, with ecstasy on his face.

"Ji Jue, quickly arrange for people to clear out the surrounding monsters and seal up the dragon heart pillar and the remaining dragon energy in the surrounding area!"

Luo Ang gave instructions to a man in a green shirt with a feminine face and a slightly thin figure beside him.

Upon hearing this, the green-shirted man named Ji Jue bowed and agreed. He then took all the people in Luo Ang's team away, jumped into the area where the monsters were promoted, and started fighting with the monsters.

While a bloody battle was going on over there, Luo Ang bowed to the burly man and others.

"For what happened today, I owe Third Sister a favor."

"Please go back and tell my third sister that when I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely fulfill her and Rong Zhuguo's wishes!"
