Chapter 176: Facing Ming Wu
Chapter 176 Facing Mingwu directly (third update!!)
Shenhun watched the three masters of the earth master leave, Ye Chen took back Shenhun and returned to his other courtyard.
Xi Yang's death is just a prelude to the coming of a storm. People from Tiankui Xing Sect will come at some time. Ye Chen will continue to step up his cultivation and consolidate his current cultivation first. When fighting with Xi Yang, Ye Chen has some new understandings of the soul and the flying sword.
The battle of the soul is different from ordinary battles. When it is strongly stimulated during the battle, it will affect the combat effectiveness. Therefore, the soul must be more stable in order to cope with more intense battles.
As for the flying knife, Ye Chen discovered another purpose of the flying knife. As long as the flying knife hits the opponent, he can leave a trace of mysterious energy in the opponent's body. With one thought, he can detonate! This new discovery is also very useful in battle. Once the flying knife is hit, a time bomb will be ambushed in the opponent's body!
He looked at Xi Yang's Qiankun bag, which contained more than 20,000 Qi Gathering Pills and 300 Qi Condensing Pills. In addition, there was a first-grade spiritual treasure-level long sword. Ye Chen put away these things and threw them into the arm guard space. As for the earth fox rat, it was not available for the time being, so he let it find food on the island in the middle of the lake.
As usual, Ye Chen returned to the alchemy room.
The faces of Sylphy Yao Zun and Li Xu were both serious. The appearance of the mysterious Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse made them feel a lot of pressure. The human-quality pills are about to be refined, and I don’t know what kind of storm will cause.
"Li Xu, go and find Mingwu. I have something to tell him!" Xuan Yi Yaozun said. He made a decision. Although Mingwu also wanted a elixir, he would at least take into account his identity and would not force his robbery, so it would be hard for others to say.
Although the seven Earth Venerables under the Sylphy Medicine Master can balance the Heavenly Venerables, it is difficult to guarantee an accident. I heard from the fifth and sixth brothers that the mysterious Heavenly Venerables are amazing, and I am afraid that they are not under Mingwu.
"Yes, I'll go immediately!" Li Xu nodded and left in a hurry.
About an hour later, Emperor Mingwu and Li Xu walked into the alchemy room together.
The emperors in this world are a little different from what Ye Chen imagined. Ye Chen originally thought that the emperors were very particular about pomp, with many guards around him and palace maids accompanying him, while the Emperor Mingwu came and went alone. Apart from the golden armor and the aura of the superiors, there was no special thing.
Emperor Mingwu is a powerful man of the Heavenly Venerable level. What is the use of a bunch of guards behind him?
After he came in, he nodded to the Sylphy Medicine Lord and looked back at Ye Chen. Ye Chen was so angry that he looked like a star, and had a bit of a sense of ecstasy. But overall, he was similar to an ordinary young man. He was a little confused. It was such a young man who caught the purple gold divine fish, which caused a storm in the imperial capital?
"I wonder what happened to Yao Zun came to me?" Emperor Mingwu turned his head and looked at Xuan Yi Yao Zun and asked.
"Something happened here last night. Xi Yang of Tiankui Xing Sect for some reason came to my island and was killed in the woods. According to our inference, the killer should be a powerful man of the Heavenly Venerable level! The pill will be refined in another day, so please come and protect the Dharma." Sylphy Yao Zun said solemnly.
"A powerful man at the level of the Heavenly Venerable?" Emperor Mingwu's expression moved and said, "Is it the leader of Taiyi Sword Sect?"
"Judged by Xi Yang's injury, the man's killing method was quite strange. He used a long sword and a flying knife, which was not like the ones who were the leaders of the three major sects." Xuan Yi Yao Zun shook his head and said, of course Ming Wu could also rule it out.
"Long sword and flying sword?" Emperor Mingwu frowned slightly. He had never heard of the Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouses using long sword and flying sword in the Xiwu Empire. Could it be that there were other Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouses infiltrated? In addition to the three major sect leaders, there was also a Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse in the imperial capital, who was from the Tiandu Business Association. However, the Tiandu Business Association's business is all over the East Continent and never participates in disputes and will not get involved in robbing pills. Moreover, the Heavenly Venerable-level master was a sword-user, nodding and said, "Since the pills can be successfully refined tomorrow, I will stay here for a day. If I have the chance, I will be that master for a while!"
Sylphy Medicine Lord nodded and said, "The place is simple, not as big as the palace, you can do whatever you want." Sylphy Medicine Lord was not so polite to Emperor Mingwu, which shows that the friendship between the two parties is still good.
"By the way, Yao Zun, I have some things to hand over to you." Emperor Mingwu took out several letters and handed them to Xuan Yi Yao Zun.
"What is this?" Xuanyi Yaozun glanced at Emperor Mingwu in confusion and opened the letters. It was written by Lei Yi, Hao Feng and others. Some of them were handed over by the Hao family to the two major sects of Taiyi Sword Sect and Qingyun Sect, and some of them were contacted by their respective families.
"This was intercepted by my subordinates. On the night of blocking Minghu Lake, they found that someone on the island had released a few messenger eagles, and shot and killed a few of them." Emperor Mingwu said.
The more Sylphy Yao Zun looked at him, the more furious he became. His hands holding the letter kept trembling. This betrayal made him heartbroken.
"I'm so kind to them. They don't care about the master and apprentice's feelings at all, and contact outsiders to deal with me!" Xuanyi Yaozun was furious. Although he had suspicions about Lei Yi and others before, he was still unwilling to believe that Lei Yi and others would betray him. But now, the evidence is conclusive and he has no choice but to believe it.
"Yaozun, even if he doesn't kill such an ungrateful person, he should be expelled from the master as soon as possible. If Yaozun is unwilling to do it himself, I can do it for him." Emperor Mingwu said calmly, thinking in his heart that Xuanyi Yaozun is too kind to a woman. If he were betrayed by his subordinates, he would definitely be killed without mercy!
Sylphy Yao Zun put away the letter, looked depressed, a little depressed and depressed, waved his hand and said, "I'll think about this."
Emperor Mingwu knew the temperament of Sylphy Medicine Lord and no longer disturbed Sylphy Medicine Lord, so as not to affect Sylphy Medicine Lord's alchemy. However, at the level of Sylphy Medicine Lord, it is generally not affected by emotions and causes failure to refine the alchemy.
After talking to Xuanyi Yao Zun, Emperor Mingwu stood up and walked towards Ye Chen with a faint and warm smile on his face.
Ye Chen was circulating his mysterious energy to practice. He felt that Emperor Mingwu came over and opened his eyes. Although Emperor Mingwu smiled, he could still feel the faint majesty momentum. After a change of thought, even if the other party was an emperor, it was absolutely impossible to kneel down. He only knelt down in heaven and earth's parents throughout his life, and the others would never kneel down.
However, normal etiquette should still be included. After all, the Yin royal family behind Emperor Mingwu is the largest family in the Xiwu Empire, so he still has to give this little face. Ye Chen pretended to be about to get up.
"No need, this is not a palace, there is not so much etiquette." Emperor Mingwu smiled faintly, but a glimmer flashed in his eyes. He saw that Ye Chen did not really want to get up. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, who could be so calm and not afraid of him, must have something to rely on. Facing the pressure of the powerful Heavenly Venerable, he still remained calm. He really only had the strength of the tenth level? I am afraid that everyone would underestimate the young man in front of him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Chen said respectfully, and looked up at Emperor Mingwu. The middle-aged man in his forties in front of him was heroic and handsome, with a faint murderous aura on his body.
Emperor Wu of Ming raised the corner of his clothes and sat cross-legged on a cushion in front of Ye Chen.
"I heard Uncle Yin talk about you, a young talent and extraordinary talent. When I saw you today, I was indeed extraordinary." Emperor Mingwu's eyes looked like a torch, and he looked at Ye Chen, as if he wanted to see something.
Speaking of Yin Mengtian, Ye Chen's hostility was slightly relieved and he said, "That's the over-profit of Prince Yin."
"Haha, since Uncle Yin said that, it must be reasonable." Emperor Mingwu smiled loudly, "Even when I was at your age, I did not have the same cultivation as you, so you don't have to be humble."
"Your Majesty comes to me, not to say this, don't you know what your Majesty is asking me for?" Ye Chen asked, guessing the purpose of Emperor Mingwu. He seemed extremely casual when he spoke.
"It's nothing. The elixir of Yaozun will be refined tomorrow. I want to protect the Dharma here and just chat with you." Emperor Mingwu smiled faintly. He didn't care about Ye Chen's offense. The genius always had a bit of temper and said with a sigh, "I have read through a few old books recently. Thousands of years ago, the Ye family was a big clan in this Xiwu Empire. They also had in-laws with the Yin royal family, but they were a little declining later. It was a pity that I didn't expect that the Ye family could regain their reputation in the near future. It was a blessing for my Xiwu Empire."
Ye Chen was stunned. Emperor Mingwu even had his in-laws from a thousand years ago. Is this a relationship? If Emperor Mingwu really cares about his old love, why wouldn't he help the Ye family when the Ye family declined? If Ye Chen grew up in this world, he might have been fooled by Emperor Mingwu. He was grateful for Emperor Mingwu's concern and bowed to him, but Ye Chen was not a pedantic loyal person!
"Your Majesty is so serious. My Ye family is just a small family in Donglin County and has never made any contribution to the country. As for the blessings of the Xiwu Empire, it is even more impossible. The survival of the small family is extremely difficult, and now they can only barely gain a foothold in Donglin County. Thank you for your concern." Ye Chen said whatever he thought of, even if the other party was the king of a country, anyway, with Sylphy Medicine Lord as a shield, his soul also had the primary strength of the Heavenly Lord. Even if he could not defeat Emperor Mingwu, at least he had some bargaining chips for negotiation.
Emperor Mingwu's expression slightly stagnated. Although Ye Chen was still very young, it was much harder to deal with than he thought. If he really put on an emperor's posture, he would definitely make the relationship frustrated. With such talent as Ye Chen, he would at least be a powerful man of the Heavenly Venerable level in the future. It would be best if he could win over him. Even if he could not win over, he would have to make friends with him.
For the true peak powerhouse, the emperor's identity is useless, and the Xiwu royal family is just a big martial arts family! The Mingwu Emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "Let's not talk about these things for now. I am worried recently. The emperor is not very peaceful. The left prime minister Qiu Ying was assassinated. For the Xiwu Empire, this is simply a great humiliation. I heard that the left prime minister and Yin Mengtian Wang Uncle and you have had some holidays?"
