Chapter 269

"Actually hidden in such deep underground?" After Zhao Xing found the place, he couldn't help but size up the surrounding environment.

This was a huge underground karst cave.

There were many rocks around, and the rock was completely one piece, with only a tiny hole at the top, which seemed to have caused the stone to fall off due to its age.

That was also a wind tunnel, with gale winds blowing out from inside.

"The intensity of the gale is very high; I don't know how many years the underground space has been eroded by the gale, leading to such a large space underground."

The underground space was very large, enough to build a small urn city.

A rectangular body was floating in mid-air.

It was 100 meters long, 50 meters high, and 35 meters wide.

Facing the wind tunnel was an ancient gate.

On the gate were characters like shrimp and earthworms, as well as mysterious patterns carved like crescent moons.

"The entire underground space, only this place has been set up with a magic array, but it was clearly set up by a later person, and the traces are still very new."

"It seems to be the invisible illusion array set up by Yang Dang," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He had his Heavenly Eye open, so this array was easy to see through, directly seeing the object being covered; after all, the Heavenly Eye Technique was already at the top level.

"Let this clone try," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

After he broke the city, he sent out many clones to search, and one of the clones used an escape technique and soon found the treasury in the deduction results.

"Whoosh."

When Zhao Xing's clone approached, he felt a huge resistance.

"Yin wind?" Zhao Xing looked at the twisted and blurred gate in front, and at this moment he was blocked by the Yin wind.

"It wasn't set by Yang Dang, but emitted by the treasury itself," Zhao Xing judged.

"The intensity of this Yin wind is very high; a fifth-rank life soul would die if it came here."

Even if Zhao Xing was just a clone, he was not afraid of this level of Yin wind.

He continued to fly forward.

"Whoosh-whoosh~"

After the Yin wind, a green light suddenly flashed, mixed in the wind.

"Puff~"

Zhao Xing's Myriad Law Clone suddenly trembled.

The green ghost fire, as if transparent, did not burn, but instead drilled into the straw man's body, heading for his clone soul body.

"Wow, Yin fire!"

"Truly fresh!"

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up immediately; Yin fire doesn't burn anything else, only soul-type items, and the life soul naturally counts in this category.

But the method of Yin fire is extremely difficult to control.

As the saying goes, isolated Yin does not grow, and solitary Yang does not flourish.

It is very difficult to summon Yin fire alone to fight the enemy.

"A mere wisp of Yin fire, what can it do to me...!"

On the ground, Zhao Xing's main body was stunned.

Because one of his method straw men had exploded.

"Interesting, the level is so high; what level of flame is it?"

"Explore again!"

Zhao Xing became interested and let more clones rush over.

At the same time, the main body also ordered his subordinates to raid Yang Dang's home.

"Li Gan, go and seal up all of Yang Dang's property. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach. Send all file-type items here immediately. This official suspects that he is still colluding with the rebel king of the neighboring prefecture."

"Yes." Li Gan obeyed the order obediently.

Fighting until now, Li Gan no longer commanded the army because he was not qualified enough.

Now Zhao Xing had two strong armies, Yuan Puppet and Yuan Jade, under his command, and part of the Yuan River Army was also here taking orders.

Among the military generals, Li Gan could no longer be ranked.

But fortunately, having followed Zhao Xing early, he still acted as the commander of Zhao Xing's personal guards.

"Let me see what Yang Dang has bought in recent years and what information he has checked in the Earth Mirror," Zhao Xing took out the Earth Mirror and came to the North Wind County Prefecture.

"North Wind Martial Marquis Yang Dang, enfeoffed as Martial Marquis in the 145th year of the Dingxin Calendar. Because the land of the entire North Wind County was not good land, the imperial court rewarded him with the entire North Wind County as his fief."

"Here, the Yang clan was completely like a local emperor, and there were no other powerful families in North Wind County."

"In recent decades, Yang Dang has been very low-key. Originally, in the intelligence of the Luo King, it was not thought that Yang Dang would rebel, because although Yang Dang was a fourth-rank perfection, his strength was rated as 'mediocre'."

"The reason for this evaluation is that Yang Dang was low-key, and Yang Dang was also getting old," Zhao Xing looked at the information in the Earth Mirror and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Wrong, completely wrong. How is this Yang Dang a weak fourth-rank?"

Judging from the attack on North Wind County, Yang Dang's martial arts strength was very strong and could be rated as excellent!

Especially his life soul; logically, the fourth rank is only refining the soul, and it is impossible to start refining the soul.

Except for priests or geniuses like Zhao Xing who refined the soul early, the situation of other officials is that the life soul realm lags behind the physical body realm.

But this Yang Dang, his life soul had also reached the fourth-rank perfection, and even erupted with super strong resistance when facing the 'Dream Walking Method.'

It took a quarter of an hour of killing to be beheaded in the dream!

"In the last thirty years, he has bought many ancient books in the Soldier Realm, mainly history books."

"It seems that this Yang Dang also discovered the treasury underground and is translating and cracking it."

Generals reading history is nothing, but if Zhao Xing hadn't discovered that treasury, he wouldn't have associated it with this.

Plus Yang Dang was low-key and rarely went out, so he rarely entered the sight of the Soldier Realm.

"A cautious person, how would he think of rebelling with the Prince of Liang?"

Zhao Xing put away the Earth Mirror, and not long after, ten more clones entered the underground space.

"Puff-puff~"

Approaching 100 meters from the gate, they were still burned.

"A bit of a trick; it seems I can't get in without using the main soul," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He stopped wasting clones and just observed from the surroundings.

And at this time, the North Wind Marquis Mansion was also raided and sealed.

All files were classified as secret and loaded onto the ship.

"My lord, the matter has been handled." Li Gan said.

"Hmm." Zhao Xing nodded and quickly entered the ship.

About an hour later.

"So those were the characters of the ancient Cold Dynasty?"

"According to the information on the gate and the materials collected by Yang Dang, that treasury underground was left by the Nether Soul Sect of the ancient Cold Dynasty period."

"So that's it, the Nether Soul Sect, one of the ten great divine sects of ancient times," Zhao Xing realized.

"It seems this is a site of the Nether Soul Sect."

Many of the ten great divine sects of ancient times were not passed down and were extinguished in the long river of history.

"The Nether Soul Sect also cultivated the soul, and like the Dream God Sect, those who cultivate the soul are prone to broken inheritance," Zhao Xing sighed.

Walking the path of the soul, whether it is cultivation or fighting abroad, if you die, it is easy to become completely nothingness, and you can't even enter the Yin Realm.

"There is actually a divine sect site here, and it looks like the level is not low."

Once the origin of the site was determined, things were easy to handle.

Because in the previous life, in the era of spiritual energy, the earth's veins changed, and a large number of ancient sites were unearthed. Players dug up all the tombs, and many dungeons were explorations of these sites.

"North Wind County should have been a branch of the Nether Soul Sect in history."

"The treasury below should be the treasury of the branch."

Zhao Xing searched the Mixed Origin Warship, brought enough equipment, and escaped underground.

At this time, except for the two in the Profound Heaven Academy and the Kunyuan Academy, all the clones were here.

"Collect!"

Zhao Xing collected all the clones into the Pure Origin Space.

"Seven-Star Life Soul, merge!"

In the sea of consciousness, the seven main souls merged into one.

"Wind-Fixing Pearl!"

Ten cyan beads flew up and flew toward the ancient gate.

Seventh-rank high-grade, Wind-Fixing Pearl!

Ten Wind-Fixing Pearls surrounded the treasury.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh~"

The gate flashed with purple light, and the gale was constantly absorbed by the Wind-Fixing Pearls.

The intensity of the Yin wind immediately weakened, and it could no longer hurt the fifth-rank life soul.

"Huodou! Go!"

Zhao Xing released black dog-like mechanism puppets from behind.

The mechanism puppet, Huodou, was also a seventh-rank high-grade.

Huodou likes to devour fire, and the twenty Huodou released by Zhao Xing were all Yin-attributed, completely capable of devouring this piece of Yin fire.

"~"

The fire split, splitting into twenty thin lines, sinking into the two-meter-tall Huodou's body.

The black body was immediately touched with a wisp of green.

"Lowered, the intensity of the Yin fire is less than fourth-rank, and it can no longer threaten the fourth-rank life soul."

Zhao Xing released another clone and continued to move forward.

"Hum~"

An extremely sharp piercing force suddenly rushed into the clone's body, which was also an attack on the life soul.

"Clang-clang~"

The Soul-Extinguishing Bell was activated!

This attack penetrating the life soul was immediately blocked by the Soul-Extinguishing Bell.

"Advance again!"

Zhao Xing ordered the clone to advance again.

At this time, the clone's body suddenly dropped three meters.

As if crushed by something.

This was purely a pressure on the soul, a very heavy sense of oppression, making Zhao Xing feel as if he were carrying a mountain.

"Accelerate!"

Zhao Xing abandoned this clone and let it rush into the gate area quickly.

At the same time, he suffered heavy oppression and a continuous, extremely cold pushing force.

"Puff~" This clone's body was fine, but the clone soul disappeared.

"Good fellow, the five-element attacks of the Yin soul are all gathered." Zhao Xing took out a bottle of Yuan Soul Liquid and drank it to replenish the soul power consumption.

"What's hidden inside is definitely good stuff."

The more difficult it was, the more excited Zhao Xing became.

Because ordinary treasures were no longer difficult for him to get.

Like Huodou and Wind-Fixing Pearls, they were all seventh-rank treasures, and such treasures belonged to high-level military supplies.

But he could now requisition a batch for use.

Because the entire Heavenly River Prefecture Transport Division could be requisitioned by Zhao Xing at will.

Yang Dang didn't have this ability; he would have a hard time getting one seventh-rank treasure.

"Almost there." After experimenting more than a dozen times, Zhao Xing had roughly figured out the conditions for breaking in.

And at this time, his main body began to take the field.

The soul strength of the main body was not something a clone could compare to.

Wearing eighth-rank top-grade soul armor and using the Soul-Extinguishing Bell.

With the auxiliary suppression of Huodou and the Wind-Fixing Pearls, Zhao Xing successfully walked to the purple treasury gate.

The purple light flowed on the gate, and even after countless years, it was still executing.

"Boundary-Breaking Nail."

Zhao Xing took out nine long nails carved with patterns from the box behind him.

Calling them nails, they were actually as thick as a small arm.

"Go!"

Zhao Xing inserted them into the purple light.

"Yu~"

The nine seventh-rank high-grade Boundary-Breaking Nails immediately began to rotate, constantly drilling inside.

It drilled for a full hour!

Finally—

"Hum-boom~"

As if unable to bear the burden, the purple light finally disappeared, and the gate opened with a bang.

The heavy stone gate was covered with mottled traces, which were the marks of time erosion.

Green velvet covered the once glorious carvings, and now those lines had become blurred, leaving only a few mysterious outlines.

The runes on the wall had also dimmed, and Zhao Xing could clearly see the traces of the mechanism array, but now only a faint aura remained.

Walking into the treasury, a stale breath rushed toward him. On both sides were many shelves, on which were placed various broken weapons and books that would shatter at a touch.

"Most of them are shattered, unable to withstand the erosion of time," Zhao Xing looked at the broken items.

"Usually, after 50, 00 years, seventh-rank materials will begin to disintegrate, and the interior will completely collapse. Even with special storage methods, it will not exceed 100, 00 years."

"The Cold Dynasty is probably more than 500, 00 years ago, and still being able to see the remains, the divine sect of that year can be considered glorious," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He casually summoned a gale to blow toward the inside of the treasury.

As the gale blew, a large number of items completely turned into a particle state and disintegrated very thoroughly.

"What can be left behind is at least an eighth-rank treasure," Zhao Xing looked forward with anticipation.

As the gale scraped by, the piles of remains inside the treasury finally dissipated.

"Hmm? Goods!" In front of Zhao Xing, a purple light suddenly flashed and flew toward the outside of the gate.

"It's big goods!"

Zhao Xing saw this scene and was immediately excited.

Anything that can fly away on its own clearly has a 'spirit'!

"Where are you running!"

Zhao Xing immediately threw out the Heaven-Net.

"Puff~"

The seventh-rank Heaven-Net was pierced through by the purple light just like that,

unable to block it at all.

"Go!"

Zhao Xing immediately cast the thunder technique, and the Heavenly Thunder Finger hit the purple light, knocking it away.

"Clang-clang-clang!"

The Soul-Extinguishing Bell vibrated constantly.

The first layer of the Soul-Deriving Technique was running at full power!

Zhao Xing had used all his strength!

"Yu~"

The purple light finally slowed down.

At this time, Zhao Xing finally saw clearly the item wrapped in the light.

It was a divine lamp shaped like a lotus!

It was pitch black, and a purple moon flickered in the lotus.

As the Soul-Extinguishing Bell rang, a human figure struggled in the purple moon.

"Tou-gu-lu! Ji-gu-la!"

A voice came from inside the moon.

Zhao Xing didn't understand what it was saying.

So he continued to cast spells.

"Ban-gu-lu! Ji-gu-la..."

The voice gradually weakened.

Zhao Xing also gradually understood the meaning the voice wanted to express, probably something like 'I surrender, stop hitting me.'

"Acknowledge me as master, and I will spare you!" Zhao Xing squeezed out a drop of blood and flew toward the purple lotus lamp.

He dared to bet that the spirit definitely knew what it meant, because blood-dripping master-acknowledgment was a common ancient method used to subdue spirit divine weapons.

Even if it didn't understand the language, seeing this situation would make it understand what it meant.

"~#@#..."

The voice inside the moon continued to speak.

Seeing that it didn't accept his blood to acknowledge him as master, Zhao Xing snorted:

"Don't you go wah-wah-ing at me; there are only two paths: acknowledge master or be wiped out."

Continued to activate the Soul-Extinguishing Bell!

"Clang-clang-clang~"

Waves of soul power, like a tide, circulated endlessly, surging toward the purple moon.

"Hum~"

Finally, forced by helplessness, the spirit had to absorb Zhao Xing's drop of blood.

Hum~

The purple light slowly weakened, and a faint connection was produced.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and began to accept the patterns, characters, and sounds transmitted by the spirit.

This was not any secret method, but the characters and pronunciation of the Cold Dynasty period.

About an hour later, Zhao Xing was able to communicate with the spirit.

"What is your name, and what kind of lamp is this?"

A female figure wearing a dharma robe reflected in the moon: "Master, my name is Chuchu; I am the spirit of the Purple Moon Soul Lamp."

"Purple Moon Soul Lamp?" Zhao Xing's eyes lit up immediately, and he split off a clone to run over and hold the Purple Moon Soul Lamp to examine it. "So it's this treasure."

"Good stuff. I have soul defense treasures like soul armor, but no soul attack treasures. Now this Purple Moon Soul Lamp can just make up for it."

Although he could cast the Soul-Extinguishing Bell, if there was a treasure, who would want to go into battle naked?

"Master, does Chuchu need to introduce the function of the soul lamp?" The spirit asked.

"Hmm." Zhao Xing nodded, "Tell me about it."

"The Purple Moon Soul Lamp has four functions."

"First, when the primordial soul leaves the body, holding the Purple Moon Soul Lamp can stabilize the soul body. As long as the lamp is not extinguished, the soul will not be extinguished. Before the power of the Purple Moon Soul Lamp is exhausted, all attacks will be borne by the soul lamp."

"Second, the Purple Moon Soul Lamp can be used as an anchor point to guide the direction of the soul returning to the physical body, greatly enhancing the mobility of the primordial soul leaving the body. Even if it is far away from the physical body, it can find the way back."

"Third, the Purple Moon Soul Lamp is made of special Purple Yin Soul Crystal. Holding the soul lamp to fight the enemy can amplify the power of soul-type attacks. For example, the attack secret method the master just cast, if cast through the Purple Moon Soul Lamp, can increase the power by several times."

"Fourth, the Purple Moon Soul Lamp itself contains a top-tier magic array and can emit five spells: Nine Yin Fire, Tai Yin Wind, Nether Soul Thorn, Soul-Burial Mountain, and Nether River."

After listening to the spirit's introduction, Zhao Xing found it was about the same as he knew.

Holding the divine lamp, Zhao Xing walked into the treasury.

"Chuchu, do you know if there are any hidden compartments or treasure hiding places in here?"

"No more." Chuchu stood on the moon and shook her head, "There were a few treasures in the inner treasury before, but Chuchu can't tell how long ago that was."

"This treasury was supported by the Purple Moon Divine Lamp. Before the master came, there was a person who stayed outside for thirty years, but he could never get in."

Zhao Xing nodded.

The treasury of the Nether Soul Sect had inner and outer parts. It seems Yang Dang obtained the outer treasury and often used the protective array of the Purple Moon Divine Lamp to train, making his life soul reach fourth-rank perfection, tougher than ordinary fourth-rank life souls.

However, Yang Dang's strength was a bit lacking, and his life soul was not as strong as Zhao Xing's.

Nor did he have so many treasures to use to suppress the power of the Purple Moon Divine Lamp.

Until he died, he couldn't open the inner treasury.

But even if he opened it, with Yang Dang's strength, he probably couldn't subdue it at all.

"Yang Dang, you rebelled well." Zhao Xing looked at this underground space, "If you didn't rebel, I would never have gotten this treasure."

North Wind County had existed for hundreds of years. For such a long time, this treasury had not been discovered by others, until recent decades, when it was accidentally discovered by Yang Dang.

If he hadn't come to attack Yang Dang, where would he get an eighth-rank top-grade Purple Moon Soul Lamp?

The value of eighth-rank top-grade warship-type and soul-type treasures is equivalent to ninth-rank treasures of other types!

"Even the King of Tianxia doesn't have such good treasures, but an inconspicuous Yang Dang does. It seems that I still have to be careful when raiding homes in the future and can't underestimate those small rebels."

Zhao Xing searched carefully again and then escaped up.

After finishing Yang Dang and raiding his home, it was March 17th.

Once Yang Dang died, there were basically no rebels in Heavenly River Prefecture that could form a climate, and the rest were all small thieves.

It belonged to the kind that had just announced rebellion and was captured at home by the County Police Inspectorate.

"Nothing left to suppress; it's time to return," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Fighting for a month and a half in a row, he had almost no rest.

Seeing that Zhao Xing was easy to use, He Zhengchen used him on a larger scale.

Yuan Puppet, Yuan Jade, Yuan River, City Guard Army, Yin soldiers and generals, and the Transport Division were all handed over to Zhao Xing to command.

"After returning to the prefecture city, I will summarize the battle report for the Luo King. I don't know how other places are doing." Zhao Xing stood on the observation deck of the building ship, and the prefecture city was already in sight.

Returning to the prefecture city, Prefecture Lord He Zhengchen had already led a group of civil and military officials to welcome him.

"I have seen the Prefecture Lord, I have seen all the lords." Zhao Xing cupped his hands.

"Chenan, no need for courtesy." He Zhengchen stepped forward and supported Zhao Xing's hands; this was his first time seeing Zhao Xing's face.

He didn't expect that this young man had pacified the turmoil in Heavenly River Prefecture in just over a month.

If it weren't for Zhao Xing, He Zhengchen didn't know what Heavenly River Prefecture would have become.

If he had waited until he walked out of the prefecture city to suppress the rebellion, then even if it could be pacified in the end, he didn't know how many people would have died.

With one more day, the rebel army's power would be one point stronger, and having established a firm footing, even if he, He Zhengchen, led the Heavenly River City Guard Army and Yin soldiers and generals to fight, it would take a long time.

It would probably have to be fought until the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, and the mountains and rivers shifted.

"Chenan, you should also take a rest," He Zhengchen said. "I heard you haven't closed your eyes for more than a month."

"Thank you for your concern, Prefecture Lord," Zhao Xing cupped his hands. "I control five prefectures, and there are four other prefectures waiting for me to raid... suppress the rebellion; I dare not be slack."

He Zhengchen, Zhang Ping, and Wu Xuanying heard this, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch.

This young man, why did he say his true thoughts out loud?

But it had to be said that Zhao Xing was truly fierce.

Fighting for more than a month in a row, transferring through many places, he was still full of spirit.

"Even if you can endure it, the soldiers can't take it," He Zhengchen said. "Chenan, let the people below reorganize and rest, and when they have enough spirit, then talk about other things."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order." Zhao Xing was just giving He Zhengchen a preventive shot, expressing his idea of using troops to go to the other four prefectures.

If he really wanted to fight, it was impossible to set off again right now.

One was that he really needed to rest and reorganize, and simplify and integrate the army he had taken over.

Second, mobilizing troops across prefectures was very troublesome. If he went by himself, it would be fine, but to take more than 100, 00 troops to other places, he still needed to discuss it with the Luo King.

Third, Zhao Xing also had to sort out the information and couldn't fight blindly.

If he ran into a hard nut and capsized in the gutter, destroying the army, then the achievements made in Heavenly River Prefecture and the prestige brushed out would be in vain.

Returning to the official residence in Heavenly River Prefecture, Zhao Xing refused the banquet and immediately began to report to the Luo King.

"Hum~" The Earth Mirror was activated, and the Luo King's phantom gradually solidified.

"This subordinate pays respects to the Luo King." Zhao Xing bowed respectfully.

"Zhao Xing, how is the situation in Heavenly River Prefecture?" The Luo King asked.

"Reporting to the Luo King, the rebellion in Heavenly River Prefecture is basically pacified. The rest is just soothing the hearts of the people, selecting the virtuous and capable,"

"and filling the official vacancies," Zhao Xing said.

"Your speed is fast enough," the Luo King praised. "In just over a month, Heavenly River Prefecture has been pacified."

"Thanks to your support, Zhao Xing dares not take credit."

"You dare not take credit, but your reputation has already spread. You must be careful yourself," the Luo King said in a deep voice.

"You stay in Heavenly River Prefecture and rest for a few days. I will change your Earth Mirror to an exclusive one. If you have any information you want, you can communicate with others."

"After half a day, go to the Lihuo Academy in Heavenly River Prefecture and find Peng Yu to collect it."

"Yes."

After ending the chat, Zhao Xing came to the branch of the Lihuo Academy in Heavenly River Prefecture.

The Lihuo Academy here was completely serving the military; the place was very small, and it didn't recruit students, only a group of military officers maintaining the operation.

Half a day later, Zhao Xing received the new exclusive version of the Earth Mirror from Peng Yu, the dean of this branch.

It strengthened the original communication function, information query, and database storage, and also added a secret communication group.

"The Luo King's unified combat chat group?"

At this time, countless messages flashed in the communication group,

and the dense messages stayed in front of his eyes for a very short time.

Zhao Xing judged at a glance that only by reaching the third rank could one handle this level of information.

"In other words, these are all high-ranking experts?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but be surprised.

The list the Luo King gave him before was just a list.

Now it was the right to real-time communication and the ability to participate in high-level secrets!

Zhao Xing couldn't help but look at the communication list; counting himself, there were only 150 people.

"It seems to be just a group chat."

In the entire Pinghai Province, the number of high-ranking experts now could definitely not be just this little.

And Liu Tianning was not in it either.

Clearly, these 150 people were just a certain area, or responsible for a certain part of the action.

Zhao Xing watched for a while and found that the information flow flashing in here was basically related to the twelve prefectures in the eastern part of Pinghai Province.

"It should be specifically for handling the affairs of the twelve eastern prefectures."

"In here are the Prefecture Lord of Mingyue, Ye Yukong, the Prefecture Lord of Longyuan, Xuanyuan Pojun, the Pingdao King Jin Feng, the Feixue King Li Bingxue, the Jinwu General Yang Wanli..."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but tease in his heart: "These experts are also remarkable, actually being able to be in a group with me."

There were even second-rank experts in here!

Zhao Xing didn't post any information, because he had just joined, so it was better to watch first.

However, after Zhao Xing was pulled in, it attracted the attention of others.

Because Zhao Xing's personal information was only the Third-Level Inspection Commissioner of the five eastern prefectures of Pinghai Province, the Transport Commissioner of the hundred water routes of Heavenly River Prefecture, and a Yuan Marquis.

Among these titles, the Marquis was only a third-class scattered title, the Transport Commissioner was only a proper fifth-rank upper, and even the third-level inspection commissioner,

was only a proper fourth-rank upper.

Which member of the group was not a third-rank? Even if they didn't have a third-rank official position, they had a high title, or a high scattered official position, and their own strength was strong, and their ranking in the dojo was high.

Zhao Xing's joining was like a Chihuahua suddenly mixed into a wolf pack.

No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.

"What is the Luo King doing? Did he pull the wrong person?"

In front of a clear blue lake in Tianhu Prefecture, a burly, wild man wearing golden dragon-patterned battle armor and carrying a giant sword as tall as a person couldn't help but frown.

His name was Yang Wanli, a third-rank perfection realm, and this was a secret Soldier Realm passage in Pinghai Province.

Even the Prince of Liang didn't know that there was a small passage entrance here.

Yang Wanli was a Jinwu General.

The Jinwu Guard was one of the Emperor's three major personal guard legions.

The Jinwu General was an excellent military general in the Jinwu Guard.

For an expert, suddenly having an extra person in a secret team would naturally not be ignored.

Yang Wanli looked at Zhao Xing's personal information and couldn't understand at all why this person could enter here.

"Is the Luo King busy and confused? Is such a secret task something a middle-rank official can participate in?"

However, Yang Wanli didn't dare to question it publicly; after all, the Luo King was a first-rank official.

He just asked him privately.

"Wanli, what's the matter?" The Luo King asked.

"Luo King." Yang Wanli said to the projection above, "Just now, the ninth group of the east had an extra person. Was it the permission you opened?"

"Yes." The Luo King nodded.

"Did you make a mistake?" Yang Wanli asked, "Why pull a fourth-rank official in?"

"He can enter because he has the strength to enter," the Luo King said. "You just guard the Bihu passage."

"Yes." Yang Wanli cupped his hands obediently.

Hum~ The phantom dissipated.

"An ordinary fourth-rank official wouldn't even be able to enter here if they were just trying to save their lives in front of a third-rank official," Yang Wanli thought to himself. "It seems this Zhao Xing can at least kill some weak third-rank officials."

Pinghai Province, Longyuan Prefecture.

"Zhao Xing?" The Prefecture Lord of Longyuan, Xuanyuan Pojun, was standing in front of the sand table, commanding, when he suddenly noticed that a newcomer had been added to the ninth secret group of the east.

"Oh, so it's the kid who beheaded the King of Tianxia."

The Prefecture Lord of Longyuan's thoughts turned, and a message from a month ago quickly surfaced in his mind.

Zhao Xing beheading the King of Tianxia had already passed for more than a month, and as a second-rank enfeoffed King, the Prefecture Lord of Longyuan naturally knew this information.

It was just that he didn't pay much attention to it at the time; after all, the information said that fifty Mixed Origin Warships were dispatched and the Lihuo Array was activated.

"Heavenly River Prefecture was pacified so quickly; it seems this Zhao Xing's own strength is not weak either." The Prefecture Lord of Longyuan's thoughts turned, and this message sank from his mind again.

Things have priorities, and he certainly couldn't spend too much energy on such irrelevant information because his Longyuan Prefecture had to face the water tribe rebels of the East Sea, Hong Yuanba and Hong Yuanshou, the two brothers who led the East Sea Legion to rebel!

In the far east, on a snowy mountain by the sea, a woman wearing purple dharma robes with a cold temperament put away the Earth Mirror.

"Liu Wanfa's disciple has actually managed to get into the ninth secret group."

"I wonder how much of Liu Tianning's ability he has."

The moment Zhao Xing joined, many of the 149 people in the secret group noticed Zhao Xing.

Of course, only a small number of people paid a little attention, and the vast majority were busy with their own tasks.

Zhao Xing watched for a while and then put away the Earth Mirror.

"The Prince of Liang called on the princes to form an alliance. His main forces are in the north and south, and except for guarding and snatching the Soldier Realm passages and blocking the entrances and exits, there are no heavy troops and experts guarding the east and west."

"Currently, the Prince of Liang's plan is to leave the east to the Hong Yuanba and Hong Yuanshou brothers to create chaos."

"The west has incited those strong slave soldiers."

"Hong Yuanba and Hong Yuanshou lead the water tribe rebellion, which requires most of the energy to block."

"The alien generals of the slave soldiers also hate Liu Si very much, because the slave soldier system created by Liu Si designated secondary status and Zhou status, leading to the oppression of the slave soldiers for more than two hundred years, and many unfair situations occurred."

"Meritorious service is not rewarded equally with Great Zhou soldiers, but mistakes are punished doubly."

"Dayuan Prefecture, Datong Prefecture, Anping Prefecture; these three prefectures are the basic base for the Luo King and the others to resist the Prince of Liang. I don't need to worry about Nanyang County for now..."

"Currently, the Prince of Liang's own army hasn't moved much, but other vassal kings are jumping around happily."

"Because Lüliang Province is the Prince of Liang's hometown, he doesn't have enough control there, so he doesn't dare to fight a big battle yet. He wants to force the Jing Emperor to execute Liu Si and order him to return to Lüliang Province."

After obtaining a lot of information, Zhao Xing was also digesting it.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhao Xing opened his eyes and stopped the information analysis.

Then he closed his eyes again.

At the same time, in the Mirror Lake Courtyard of the Profound Heaven Academy.

Zhao Xing's clone also opened his eyes and went back online.

Since the rebellion in Heavenly River Prefecture was suppressed, his clone in Tianyuan Prefecture had been offline, and he hadn't even attended classes.

Originally, this was nothing; the Prince of Liang had rebelled, so who cared whether a Doctor of Classics was attending class or not?

But today, a lot of people suddenly came outside his Mirror Lake Courtyard.

"Could it be that the Tianyuan Prefecture branch of the Profound Heaven Academy has had trouble? No reason; Li Boqian and Wang Tianzhi are still here." Zhao Xing walked out of the courtyard in confusion.

"Doctor Zhao!"

"Teacher!"

"Sir, please come out and see us!"

"Sir is mighty!"

The voices outside were chaotic; some were lying on the wall, some were straddling the trees... Zhao Xing took a rough look, and there were at least several thousand people surrounding the Mirror Lake Courtyard, both in the sky and on the ground.

"What's the situation?"

Zhao Xing couldn't help but walk out in confusion.

Seeing Zhao Xing come out.

The people surrounding him became even more excited.

"He's out! Doctor Zhao is out!"

"Sir is truly a god-man!"

"Teacher, please accept me as your disciple!"

"Lord Zhao, I am your long-lost younger brother!"

"Get lost, you shameless bastard!"

Looking at the excited faces outside, Zhao Xing finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that the news of him pacifying Heavenly River Prefecture and beheading the King of Tianxia had reached the Profound Heaven Academy in Tianyuan Prefecture!

Because each county and prefecture had opened the boundary monument to isolate them in the first place.

Even the military Earth Mirror only had a few high-ranking officials with fast communication functions.

As for Yin Gods sending letters, it was even more difficult; crossing prefectures might be possible, but it had to be a high-ranking Yin God.

Therefore, it wasn't until March that the news of Zhao Xing beheading the King of Tianxia reached the Profound Heaven Academy and was known by the middle and low-level students and officials.

Passing information in a relatively primitive way made it easy for the information to be distorted.

Zhao Xing beheading the King of Tianxia was clearly done by first using the Dream Walking Method to cut off the King of Tianxia's backbone generals.

Then he used the Mixed Origin Warship to lure him into the trap and endured for three days and three nights.

Finally, he invited True Lord Tianyang to possess him and cast the Heavenly Thunder Finger, which achieved a one-hit kill.

But, when it reached the academy, a lot of detailed details were ignored.

It was said that the King of Tianxia announced rebellion on February 3rd, and on February 4th, Zhao Xing left the city and destroyed the rebel king with one Heavenly Thunder Finger.

Especially Lin Yuejia and Liu Hui, the two students who were the first to listen to Zhao Xing's "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Zhou Heaven Theory," who spared no effort in promoting it.

"Cloud Gate suppresses Heavenly River, one finger destroys the rebel king! Master Zhao is mighty!"

"The 3 million-strong army of Tianxia County was wiped out in the blink of an eye! This is our Profound Heaven Academy's Doctor of Classics,

Yuan Marquis Lord Zhao Xing!"

When Lin Yuejia was promoting it, someone asked: "Who are you talking about? I haven't heard of him."

"What, you don't know who Doctor Zhao is?" Lin Yuejia looked at the person who asked with disdain, "Have you never heard of the Three Yang and Three Yin Six Qi Great Zhou Heaven Theory?"

"This, I've heard of it slightly."

"Hmph, you don't even know this; are you from the countryside?"

"Bastard! What kind of thing is he, and why must I know him?" The person who was asked couldn't help but laugh in anger, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to argue clearly with Lin Yuejia. "Today I..."

As a result, just as he was about to speak, he found a group of people staring at him unkindly.

Lin Yuejia pointed at this person on the platform and said: "This person doesn't even know Master Zhao, and dares to speak ill of Master Zhao; he must be a traitor!"

"Fellow brothers, come on, quickly catch him and send him to the Mirror Lake Courtyard for Master Zhao to deal with!"

"I, what are you doing..."

"Ouch, don't hit me."

And so... this unlucky guy named Xing Kai was caught by Lin Yuejia and Liu Hui.

He was not an isolated case; there were more than a dozen other unlucky guys.

Among them were even three or four fifth-rank preaching masters!

They were tied up with five flowers, had thorns tied to their backs, and were forced to kneel at the entrance of the Mirror Lake Courtyard.

When Zhao Xing called Lin Yuejia over to ask clearly, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Since when did his influence become so great?

"Teacher!" Lin Yuejia knelt down again, "Please accept me as your disciple; I am willing to follow you to Heavenly River Prefecture to pacify the rebellion!"

Liu Hui also knelt down, full of worship: "Teacher, please take me too!"

"Me too!" Wu Chun also knelt down.

Zhao Xing looked at these people and couldn't help but be speechless.

Wu Chun was the teenager who was scolded by Lin Yuejia in class.

This Liu Hui was originally Zhou Cheng's disciple; how did he also "rebel"?

Clatter~ A pile of people knelt down in the dark crowd.

At this time, no one mentioned that Zhao Xing was a God of Agriculture of the Self-School, and no one cared about this anymore.

They only knew that Zhao Xing destroyed the King of Tianxia using the Profound Heaven Thunder Technique!

It was the Heavenly Thunder Finger!

It was the authentic spell of the Heavenly Time School!

Who dared to say that Master Zhao was not from the Heavenly Time School?

He must be a traitor sowing discord!

As the crowd knelt down, Zhao Xing immediately saw the few people who were still standing.

Three Doctors of Classics.

They were all holding a book in their hands—"Three Yin and Three Yang Great Zhou Heaven Theory."

One of them was Liu Hui's teacher, Zhou Cheng.

So, it wasn't Liu Hui who "rebelled," but his teacher who "rebelled" together.

"I have seen the Yuan Marquis," Zhou Cheng bowed respectfully.

"I have seen the Yuan Marquis," the other two Doctors of Classics also bowed in unison.

Zhao Xing thought slightly and knew that there might be another reason for this. Beheading the King of Tianxia alone was probably not enough to convince these three Doctors of Classics.

What did strong combat power have to do with them? Reckless men!

Zhao Xing returned the salute: "Three Doctors, please come in and talk."
