Xiaoyaozi looked somewhat helpless.
Previously, when the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations appeared in the world, he thought that the items on the Heavenly Hundred Flowers Ranking must be controlled by the Azure Dragon Society.
Therefore, they sent people to seize Fang Ri Tu from Li Qinglu of Western Xia and to take Xin Yue Hu from Shen Bijun of the Song Dynasty.
But now the Great Dragon Head has ordered that these be "given" to the Great Qin.
Clearly, the leader of the dragon clan intends to create a certain situation, but is unwilling to relinquish it easily.
This has become a tricky matter.
Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Four dragon heads, this matter is quite simple."
Xiaoyaozi looked at Zhang Sanfeng with a puzzled expression.
"Among the strongest people in the world, apart from our seven Dragon Heads, those who are not on the list..."
"The strongest among them is Bu Jingyun, who has just appeared."
"The demon lord I once met, Bai Suzhen, was the 'Heavenly Demon' Cang Qu of the Tang Dynasty."
"And the Azure Dragon Society's Di Shitian, Xiao Jingtian, and Xiao Aoshi are all top-tier."
"If what Miss Yu Yan said is true, Bu Jingyun is arrogant and conceited, and should not be recruited."
"And the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen has a request from the Great Dragon Head."
"We only need to discuss it with her and put on a show to legitimately make the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations leave Azure Dragon Peak."
Zhang Sanfeng slowly revealed his plan.
Xiaoyaozi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
The Great Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace!
Ying Zheng felt somewhat relieved to see that someone from Qin had finally made the list.
Seeing the disheveled state of Shang Yang and Bai Qi, his face suddenly darkened.
"'Sword Qi Remains Form'? Ximen Yu is actually that powerful?"
“That’s right! These are the words of Xiao Jingtian, who called himself the ‘Great Demon God,’ when we were stuck here.”
Despite his setback, Shang Yang's magnanimity remained undiminished.
His laughter, which once shook the heavens, was unknown to the world, and no one knew the depth of his power.
Outside Qixia Town, he now uses the "Four Great Techniques of Chaos" to fight against Fahai of the Search God Palace.
A battle of epic proportions has already shaken all sides.
He then joined forces with Xiao Aoshi and Di Shitian in front of the Longyin Cave in the Qilian Mountains.
They fought against the top forces of the three great dynasties.
Even so, it is rumored that Xiao Jingtian's martial arts skills are still incomplete.
If the situation deteriorates further, it will inevitably lead to an uncontrollable abyss.
All factions had already tacitly accepted Xiao Jingtian's title of "Great Demon God".
This person has a long lifespan, unfathomable martial arts skills, and extensive experience.
Since he concluded that the mark was "the trace of sword energy," then it was almost certainly true.
356 Ximen Yu in control of the overall situation
"Why didn't Ximen Yu and the Qinglong Society kill you, but instead attacked my father!"
Ying Zheng could never understand this.
Ximen Yu attacked the four Lianhua Sheng, causing their bodies to be annihilated, leaving only their spirits intact.
Then he ruthlessly killed Zichu, shattering the terracotta figurine representing his destiny.
He then casually struck again, leaving the Purple-Clad Scripture King's fate unknown.
Only Shang Yang and Bai Qi remained unharmed!
Are the two too weak to be of any interest to Ximen Yu?
Why didn't the rest of the Azure Dragon Society make a move?
Is there something else going on?
Along the way, Shang Yang and Bai Qi pondered deeply, but ultimately failed to unravel the mystery.
Faced with Ying Zheng's questioning, Shang Yang shook his head helplessly:
"This old minister is dull-witted and cannot fathom the intentions of the Azure Dragon Society."
Bai Qi also looked troubled, but nodded in agreement.
Ying Zheng closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to figure out Ximen Yu's plan.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao rushed into the hall and called out loudly.
"You lackey, what has caused you this disturbance?"
His thoughts were interrupted, and Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao with displeasure.
"Your Majesty, the Lishan Project has achieved a major breakthrough!"
"Xuan Jian, a top-tier assassin from the Luo Wang organization, has passed the trial."
"Now that my cultivation has reached the early stage of the Supreme Mythical Realm, I will surely be able to enter the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking!"
"Your Majesty is unaware of the following..."
"In the past, Xuan Jian could use eight martial arts at the same time, which seemed fancy but was actually impractical."
"But now it can absorb the combined attack of many supreme mythical realm experts!"
"This is fantastic news!"
Zhao Gao was so focused on reporting the good news that he didn't notice the strange expressions on Shang Yang's and Bai Qi's faces.
After hearing the report, Ying Zheng sighed inwardly.
Chapter 194 Xuan Jian
The news of the Heavenly Golden List arrived even faster than the reports from his subordinates.
"I already knew."
"Your Majesty...what? You already knew?"
Zhao Gao then realized what was happening and looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, Xuan Jian's message appeared on the list of successful bidders, and they were immediately speechless.
Overjoyed by the breakthrough in the Lishan Project, he forgot to pay attention to the changes in the Heavenly Path Golden List.
"well-done."
"Although he is only at the early stage of the Mythical Realm, he has managed to rank twenty-fourth on the Heavenly Dao Golden List."
“This Xuan Jian can be considered one of the top experts in the Great Qin.”
"Those who have made contributions should naturally be rewarded."
"I bestow this upon you..."
Ying Zheng was always fair in rewarding and punishing, even though he had already learned of Xuan Jian's whereabouts.
But this was indeed Zhao Gao's doing, and he immediately prepared to reward him.
However, Zhao Gao suddenly interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing to report."
Ying Zheng spoke calmly.
Although Xuan Jian's matter was good, it could not dispel the gloom of the shattered Zi Chu's destiny terracotta figurine.
"His Highness Prince Zhuangxiang may be able to return."
Zhao Gao spoke frankly.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng, who had been calm and composed, immediately stood up.
Shang Yang and Bai Qi also looked shocked and turned to look at Zhao Gao.
The Lishan Project includes a terracotta figurine project.
The pottery figurines were made from the Nine Yin Soil from the bottom of Mount Li, and then combined with the secret techniques of the Yin-Yang School and the dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty, so that the spirit of the deceased could be attached to them.
In this way, it is as if one has been resurrected.
Zichu's reappearance in the world is the result of this plan, and it is the most successful case to date.
However, this plan is not without its flaws.
Once the terracotta figurine of destiny is broken, the spirit of the person attached to it will suffer a severe blow.
In other words, the breaking of the terracotta figurine signifies a final farewell.
Ying Zheng understood this, as did Shang Yang and Bai Qi.
Now Zhao Gao is saying that Zichu has a chance of returning?
"Your Majesty! It is absolutely true, and the method of this return is completely different from the previous terracotta warrior plan."
Zhao Gao could not hide his joy.
"Great! How's it going?"
If Zichu could return, Ying Zheng would naturally be overjoyed.
"Please grant me some time, Your Majesty, and I will surely be able to bring Prince Zhuangxiang back."
Zhao Gao did not give a specific time.
"Good! Hurry up and speed up the process. As long as Father can return, I will even grant you the position of Prime Minister."
In his excitement, Ying Zheng even referred to himself as "I" and made a solemn promise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This servant will take his leave."
Zhao Gao happily withdrew.
Even after Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng could not hide his excitement.
Zichu held extraordinary significance for him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
Seeing Ying Zheng's excitement, Shang Yang suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm? What brilliant idea does Lord Shang have?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, I have pondered this matter. After His Highness King Zhuangxiang's terracotta figurine shattered, it was able to be reborn."
"Could this turn of events have been foreseen by Ximen Yu...?"
Shang Yang said in a deep voice.
Bai Qi's expression changed drastically.
"Could Ximen Yu truly be a reincarnation of a god? He can even foresee this?"
Ying Zheng did not immediately deny it; after a moment of contemplation, he asked in return:
"Why do you make this conclusion, my dear minister?"
"Ximen Yu has never taken the lives of me or Bai Qi!"
"Although Padmasambhava and the other three perished in physical form, their primordial spirits were preserved."
"I have long been puzzled as to why Ximen Yu left behind their souls."
"With his extraordinary cultivation, annihilating these four primordial spirits would be a piece of cake."
