Chapter 457

The Second-in-Command's face was extremely ugly; he feared that after these two incidents, the way people of the world looked at the people of You Dongying would have to change.

Experts who ran amok unchecked in You Dongying, going to the Central Plains would just be delivering heads, getting instantly killed?

"Forget it, it's no big deal!"

The Boss didn't mind.

What Quandao Shen, Juewushen—even if he wanted to instantly kill them, it wasn't that hard.

Moreover, he could do even more.

"The key now, on the contrary, is the War God Palace in Senior Xiaoyaozi's hands."

"Never expected one of the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens from the legends of the Nine Provinces to fall into the hands of the Qinglong Society like this."

Regarding the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens, since its return, the Xuanhua had slowly come to understand them clearly.

Calculating that Yunzhou Lingyun Cave was also one of the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens.

It was just that when the Boss went to Yunzhou last time, preparing to take Lingyun Cave,

he discovered that no matter what, he couldn't make Lingyun Cave reveal itself.

For a time he even suspected whether the rumors were mistaken.

"Do we need to snatch it back?"

You Dongying is tucked away overseas; let's not mention grotto-heavens, it doesn't even have a single blessed land.

Ever since learning that grotto-heavens and blessed lands had more abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the Xuanhua had always wanted to seize one and bring it back.

"Forget it, the current goal is to incite other forces to confront the Qinglong Society head-on!"

"Once the Qinglong Society is gone, could this grotto-heaven still run away?"

The Boss let out a cold laugh.

288—Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Ranking—(tied) Twenty-seventh place!

Great Qin, Xianyanggong!

"Never expected there really is a dragon!"

Hearing Ying Zheng, as the Emperor of Great Qin, had sworn to unify the Nine Provinces and achieve the supreme hegemony.

The Son of Heaven was generally represented by a dragon.

Now a living, breathing dragon had actually appeared!

"And it's a black dragon! My Great Qin reveres black; this black dragon should belong to my Great Qin."

Zhao Gao guessed at Hearing Ying Zheng's thoughts and made such a suggestion.

"Oh? Then my lord, the Chariots and Palace Attendant, would you go and bring this black dragon back?"

Zhang Han and Zhao Gao could be considered the two great intelligence giants of Great Qin; at this moment he deliberately took a jab at him.

"Uh…"

Zhao Gao was momentarily at a loss for words.

Old Zhang, don't talk nonsense!

That's the Four Dragon Heads Senior Xiaoyaozi!

A supreme expert who resolved Quandao Shen of the Mythical Realm in a single move!

Even more terrifying was his Life and Death Talisman!

Unable to live, unable to die!

Outside Jingcheng of Great Ming, those wretched, miserable wails,

and the descriptions brought back by the intelligence personnel under him,

Zhu Wushi and Quandao Shen already looked three parts unlike a human, seven parts more like a ghost, alright?

Such a Four Dragon Heads—is that someone any random person can provoke?

Moreover, even if someone deals with the Four Dragon Heads,

then what about the black dragon?

This thing, though called an auspicious omen, clearly had no low combat power either.

Even if all the Net assassins were sent out, they might not be able to take down this black dragon!

Zhao Gao was covered in dark lines, his heart churning like rivers and seas, stammering and not daring to pick up the thread.

"Enough!"

Hearing Ying Zheng was too lazy to watch Zhao Gao putting on an act there,

"Now the strength of the Qinglong Society grows more and more terrifying."

"It's almost advancing a thousand li in a single day."

"Last time I entrusted you with investigating the matter of Qinglong Summit, how have you handled it?"

At this time, since Qinglong Summit was exposed because of Mu Wanqing, at most only seven or eight days had passed.

In just seven or eight days, finding anything would be strange, wouldn't it?

Zhao Gao and Zhang Han exchanged a bitter smile, knelt to the ground together,

"Your subjects handled the matter poorly; we beg Your Majesty to punish us."

Although this matter really wasn't these two's fault, handling it poorly was handling it poorly.

Hearing Ying Zheng was about to open his mouth to punish, when Shang Yang spoke up,

"Your Majesty, this subject speculates that this Qinglong Summit is most likely like the War God Palace—one of the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens!"

"Mm?"

Hearing Ying Zheng thought for a moment and felt it made sense,

"It seems finding Qinglong Summit won't be that simple!"

"Then continue inciting other factions to target Duiqinglong Society!"

"The Great Yuan secretly failed to target Great Ming."

"I do not want you to deploy all your strength yet still fail to take Great Han."

"Bear in mind, Great Han has at least three Caves of Heaven and seven Blessed Lands."

"Add to that Great Han's Dragon Vein."

"If we seize Great Han, we not only strike Duiqinglong Society, but also greatly enhance the strength of Great Qin."

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Shang Yang immediately pledged upon hearing this,

"The Fourth and Fifth Dragon Lords of Qinglong Society are currently in Great Ming."

"Rumors say the Third and Sixth Dragon Lords went to Great Sui."

"If Ximen Wudi truly cannot free himself, and the Second Dragon Lord does not show himself,"

"With the force we've mobilized this time, seizing Great Han is not difficult."

This time, to target Great Han and the peripheral forces of Duiqinglong Society,

Great Qin has indeed incited many factions.

"Let's hope so!"

"Also, Zhao Gao, the Lishan..."

Ying Zheng had mentioned this many times already.

Before he could finish this time, Zhao Gao knelt again,

"Your Majesty, rest assured—there has already been progress."

"Oh? Then what of Father?"

Ying Zheng's face lit up with joy as he immediately asked about Prince Zichu.

"His Royal Highness the Former Monarch can now remain away from Lishan for extended periods—at least one month."

Zhao Gao replied joyfully.

"Good! If Father can, then the others..."

"Hurry up!"

Ying Zheng too grew excited,

"If Lishan succeeds, I'll give you the position of Chancellor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Zhao Gao, ecstatic, knelt again in thanks.
