Chapter 912: Life Winner Dou Yuanhua (First update, requesting everything)

After the Nine Nether Voodoo Technique was broken, Dou Cangqiong suffered a violent backlash; his Consciousness Sea surged like a stormy sea, caught in intense tremors, his head buzzed, and blood sprayed from his mouth as if it were worthless, one mouthful after another, dyeing the ground crimson.

The Imperial Family members and Stronger individuals temporarily summoned by Dou Cangqiong watched him with trepidation, yet they were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to step forward.

After spitting out another mouthful of blood, Dou Cangqiong finally managed to stop the bleeding.

He stood shakily on the spot; compared to before, Dou Cangqiong's hair had turned gray, his face was as pale as paper and covered in many wrinkles, and he looked as if he had transformed from a middle-aged man into an old man.

"Damn it!"

Dou Cangqiong's chest heaved, his eyes filled with resentment and disbelief, so angry he nearly spat blood again.

He never imagined that Li Zhangsheng would possess so many means to target the soul; he was just like a tortoise, and even though his realm far exceeded Li Zhangsheng's, he still fell short at the final hurdle.

"Hundred-Armed Giant, Five-Colored Peacock, Xuanwu—this must be the Xuanji Nine Transformations of the Hundred Victories King!"

Dou Cangqiong stood quietly on the spot, unable to help but recall the scene that had just occurred, especially those three light orbs—one large and two small.

As a Double-Character King, Dou Cangqiong's knowledge naturally far exceeded that of ordinary kings, and he had a certain understanding of the auxiliary Demon Pet control technique, Xuanji Nine Transformations, because it could be said to be the signature skill that made the Hundred Victories King famous.

The reason the Hundred Victories King was able to become the number one among the many Double-Character Kings at that time, besides his extremely powerful Demon Pets, was that the Xuanji Nine Transformations added a lot to his score; his most famous battle was transforming into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and holding his own against a Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beast.

At the thought of the Hundred Victories King's exaggerated battle record, Dou Cangqiong's eyes could not help but fill with eagerness.

"If nothing goes wrong, Li Zhangsheng must have obtained the inheritance of the Hundred Victories King; no wonder he grew so fast!"

Dou Cangqiong had an idea in his mind; he had never heard of anyone other than the Hundred Victories King who knew the Xuanji Nine Transformations.

At this thought, Dou Cangqiong's heart was filled with eagerness, and he said: "Go and investigate Li Zhangsheng's life, and what places he has been to; you must be thorough in every detail! Additionally, restore the Imperial Palace as quickly as possible and prepare for Yuanhua's ascension to the throne!"

Among these Princes, Dou Cangqiong directly chose the Sixth Prince, Dou Yuanhua, to inherit the throne.

Dou Cangqiong did not know Dou Yuanhua well; the reason he chose him to inherit the throne was mainly because after the Third Prince, Dou Yuanbin, fell, Dou Yuanhua became the only Pseudo-King among these Princes.

After all, the Langya Kingdom was a medium-sized country; if the Emperor was not even a Pseudo-King, wouldn't that be a joke?

After Dou Cangqiong selected Dou Yuanhua, the eyes of many Princes who still had thoughts of contending for the throne dimmed; among them, the most disappointed was not the First Prince, Dou Yuande, but the Ninth Prince, Dou Yuansheng.

The First Prince was feeling very panicked now; he had a significant connection with Li Zhangsheng, a fact that many people present knew.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, those Imperial Family members and Stronger individuals felt as if they had been granted amnesty and immediately scattered like birds and beasts; after all, anyone could see that Dou Cangqiong was in a very bad mood.

The First Prince also left with the crowd; on the surface, he maintained his composure, but in reality, his heart was filled with panic. Now that Dou Cangqiong had ordered them to investigate Li Zhangsheng, the relationship between him and Li Zhangsheng would inevitably be presented to Dou Cangqiong, and he would certainly be implicated when that time came.

"What to do? What to do?"

The First Prince thought to himself; don't look at him as the First Prince, but in front of Dou Cangqiong, he was no different from an ant.

After the First Prince and the others left, a black hole appeared in front of Dou Cangqiong. Dou Cangqiong took a step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared; he had entered his own Blessed Land to heal his wounds.

The backlash caused by the failure of the Nine Nether Voodoo Technique not only left Dou Cangqiong in a very bad state but also affected his lifespan; he could clearly feel that he had lost at least ten years of his life.

"This time, I underestimated the enemy. When I am fully prepared, I will definitely not let you off easily!"

At the thought of losing at least ten years of life, Dou Cangqiong's heart was bleeding; he was already at the advanced age of nearly four hundred, and his remaining lifespan was not much to begin with. Now that he had lost more, he was filled with hatred for Li Zhangsheng.

Dai Kingdom, Storm Fortress!

Li Zhangsheng opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Ning Bizhen's worried eyes.

Li Zhangsheng's Yinhun Wood Pendant had suddenly exploded, which filled Ning Bizhen with worry.

"Someone wanted to plot against me, but I blocked it; if nothing goes wrong, it should be Dou Cangqiong!"

Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment; just now, when he introspected the phantom of the silver needle, he could feel that the needle was attached with vast Mental Power, which far exceeded his current level in both quality and quantity.

He possessed the memories of three kings and knew very well that the quality of this Mental Power also exceeded the scope of a king.

It was because of this that Li Zhangsheng believed it was some Double-Character King plotting against him, and the only Double-Character King he had offended, by any count, was the Dark Night King, Dou Cangqiong.

After Li Zhangsheng analyzed it, Ning Bizhen said with a hint of worry: "Then what should we do now?"

"What I fear is that after this failure, the Dark Night King will come to the Dai Kingdom to kill me regardless of the cost. The only plan now is to hide for a while and wait until I become a king."

Li Zhangsheng made his decision; as long as he was given a certain amount of time, once the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Fruit matured, he had a high probability of reaching the critical point for a breakthrough.

As long as he became a king, Li Zhangsheng would have the ability to resist, and coupled with the relationship with Li City Fortress, if the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong wanted to come to the Dai Kingdom to cause him trouble, he would only be able to exert a portion of his strength.

"That's all we can do!"

Ning Bizhen nodded; compared to life, everything else seemed less important.

The next morning, Li Zhangsheng took a few people to bid farewell to the Bitter King, Zhao Yuanqing; he did not tell Zhao Yuanqing where he was going.

"Principal, we are preparing to go into seclusion for a period of time. During this time, it is best for everyone to go into hiding, and wait for my good news."

If Li Zhangsheng was the culprit, then Xu Wenhua and the others were also on the list, especially since their relationship with Li Zhangsheng was mysterious; if Dou Cangqiong really came regardless of the cost and could not find Li Zhangsheng, they would also be in great danger.

In addition to Xu Wenhua and the others, Li Zhangsheng also had Li Haoqiong, Li Wenbo, and others disperse their clansmen temporarily, and the family's high-level members also went into hiding.

Only when Li Zhangsheng became a king could they move freely in the Dai Kingdom.

Xu Wenhua and the others knew very well that they were not yet safe, so they naturally did not refuse. After bidding farewell to Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, they each dispersed and left, not knowing where they would end up hiding.

After Xu Wenhua and the others left, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen chose a direction at random and also went into hiding.
