"Another core at the high level of the Vast Core Realm."
His luck was not bad.
Not only did he obtain the treasures that the Scarlet Swallow Emperor had collected his entire life, but he also obtained the core that he had cultivated his entire life.
Looking at his Dantian, he saw that there were several special marks on the core. It seemed that the Scarlet Swallow Emperor had cultivated several divine abilities.
Putting away the core, Su Fang locked onto the Zhao expert and left.
After flying for a while, they entered a forest. Su Fang stared at him, "You've seen it for yourself. Your life is not worth mentioning to me."
"You, you're not afraid of Zhao." The black-armored man was in his thirties and was also an expert. He was an expert like Pound, but his status was even higher than Pound and Shen Huangqi.
"Why would I be afraid of Zhao? You don't need to worry about that. I have my reasons for not killing you. Right now, there are only two outcomes. The first is that I kill you, and the second is that I take your core and you'll be a mortal."
"And the third?" The man was so scared that his expression became serious.
"Smart."
Su Fang revealed an amused smile, "Of the first two options, one is death, and the other is to become a mortal. How could you be willing to be a mortal? Taking your Core Embryo is the same as killing you. In this time of chaos, you will be able to return to Zhao alive. The third option is even simpler. You will work for me, and I will be your leader."
The black-armored man immediately nodded, "Alright, but don't cripple my cultivation."
Since that was the case, Su Fang used the Blood Seal and merged with the man's soul. He also separated a part of his soul and gave it to Xuanhuang to suppress.
Su Fang ordered him to sit down. He learned that this person was called Li Changfeng, and was a general of the Zhao Imperial Guard. Su Fang asked, "Is Zhao Wuji really not dead?"
Li Chang Feng replied honestly, "The Ancestor Emperor Zhao Wuji is really not dead. When the warlords and warlords from all directions were attacking the royal palace, Zhao Wuji actually released a ray of golden light that destroyed a palace and flew out from the depths of the earth. He immediately defeated the Emperor of Feathers and killed the Barbarian Sovereign. In less than a year, he also suppressed the four warlords and once again unified the country of Zhao. After that, I heard that Zhao Wuji had been hiding under the royal palace since more than two thousand years ago. He even condensed his Gold Core and became the only Gold Core expert in Zhao."
"Zhao Wuji is a Golden Core expert!" Su Fang was shocked. The State of Zhao had produced a Golden Core expert. Who else in the world could do anything to the State of Zhao?
"Right now, the various generals of the Zhao Country are chasing after the defeated Suzerains. I am in charge of chasing after the Scarlet Swallow Great Emperor."
"Do you know the power behind Zhao?"
"I heard that the general said it was the Celestial Sealing Sect, but I don't know where they came from. I only know that even Ancestral Emperor Zhao Wuji treated them as guests and let them stay in his palace. Zhao's princes and the Zhao Imperial Family all served them day and night. They are very powerful. To be able to make Zhao Wuji pay lip service and disregard the status of the Emperor, I'm afraid these experts are all Gold Core experts."
"What Gold Core experts?"
While listening to Li Changfeng talk about Zhao's situation, the Green Feather King in Xuanhuang Six Paths Pagoda secretly transmitted his voice. "Zhao is just a small fry. Those experts who came to kill This King have long surpassed the Gold Core realm. Any one of them has great methods."
Su Fang didn't say anything. He looked at Li Changfeng. "In that case, Ancestral Emperor Zhao Wuji is trying to curry favor with those experts."
"Right now, the entire Zhao is calling those experts from the Celestial Sealing Sect their grand emperors. They're secretly mocking Zhao Wuji for being an errand boy. Previously, he ordered the various armies to search for a roc. The Zhao's side is busy eliminating the various Gold Core experts while also searching for a roc." But that kind of Big Goblin is impossible to capture. They're just sending their subordinates to their deaths, "grumbled Li Changfeng.
Buzz.
Su Fang suddenly took out an empty pouch and handed it to Li Changfeng.
"This …" That pouch was originally Li Changfeng's.
Su Fang said, "Do something for me. Immediately bring Scarlet Swallow Emperor's head back. You'll still be a general. Secretly help me find the whereabouts of the former Emperor's concubine, Concubine Xiao, and then find King Yue. Also, secretly investigate the movements of the Celestial Sealing Sect's experts. If you can do this well, I'll return your freedom."
Freedom was probably what Li Changfeng wanted the most right now.
Li Changfeng agreed on the spot. Su Fang reminded him of a few more details before watching Li Changfeng take Scarlet Swallow Emperor's head into the sky.
Whoosh …
He sat down cross-legged and swallowed Scarlet Swallow Emperor's pill embryo. It was also a pill embryo at the seventh level of the Vast Core Realm. It contained a shocking amount of spiritual energy.
He used all his strength to break through to the third level of the Vast Core Realm.
During this time, he also cleaned up the treasures that Scarlet Swallow Emperor had collected over the years. He didn't know until he saw them, but he was shocked.
Although Scarlet Swallow Emperor was the Lord of a small Scarlet Swallow Mountain, he had been dominating the area for many years. His empty pouch contained two large amounts of gold and silver. This was what Su Fang wanted. There were also various types of immortal pills, but none of them had reached the Vast Core Realm.
There were also various techniques and secret manuals. Among them, there were five types of divine abilities.
To an outsider, these five divine abilities were extraordinary. However, to Su Fang, they were millions of times worse than the Illusory Fire Cloud. They were suitable for Family Su to cultivate.
There were also some Magic Artifacts. There were close to a thousand Spiritual Artifacts and five Artifacts. Two of them were in good condition while the other three were damaged. They were also very old and needed to be repaired before they could be used.
Looking at the entire empty pouch, he only needed the gold and silver. The rest of the immortal pills, Magic Artifacts, divine abilities, and spells were not useful to him.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
A few days later …
A sound wave swept through the forest.
He flashed into the forest and saw Li Changfeng flying over on his sword. He didn't expect him to be back so soon. He must have gotten something.
"There is news from King Yue!"
Li Changfeng and Su Fang entered the forest. He couldn't wait and said, "The Ancestral Emperor imprisoned him in the Imperial Palace and crippled his cultivation. He is now a cripple. I don't think the Ancestral Emperor would kill someone like him. As for Concubine Xiao, she somehow offended the Ancestral Emperor and disappeared overnight. No one knows where she is."
"Xiao Mei 'er!"
He came under the mottled light and stared at the three suns in the sky. He pondered for a moment, "Concubine Xiao wanted to obtain a treasure from the Zhao Empire's treasury. Maybe she was discovered by the Ancestral Emperor Zhao Wuji when she broke into the treasury and was imprisoned somewhere.
"Concubine Xiao wants to take the treasure of the Zhao Kingdom." Li Changfeng was shocked. He was suddenly curious about Su Fang's identity. If he wasn't from the Royal Family of the Zhao Kingdom, why would he care about the Royal Family and know about Concubine Xiao?
Su Fang asked again, "Help me find out where Concubine Xiao is in secret. Did the Celestial Sealing Sect make any moves?"
Li Changfeng said, "A few days ago, those people were very angry at Zhao Wuji. For the past few months, no one has found any trace of the roc. I think it must be the Celestial Sealing Sect. They are not happy with the Ancestral Emperor Zhao Wuji. However, some people have received other information. There are some masked mysterious people looking for the roc as well."
Masked mysterious people?
How come they weren't from the Celestial Sealing Sect looking for Lord Qingyu?
Once Li Changfeng left, Su Fang hurriedly asked Lord Qingyu.
Lord Qingyu sneered, "The Human Emperor's Ming Chakram fragment is something many powers on the Crimson Heaven Continent know about. We can't rule out the possibility that someone might have learned that the Celestial Sealing Sect has the fragment and secretly came to the Zhao Kingdom to look for This King. That's good. As long as they can't find This King, the Celestial Sealing Sect and their experts will leave to look for This King elsewhere."
Su Fang muttered, "I still want to kill King Yue for revenge. He's a cripple right now. Killing him would be easy, but he's in the imperial palace, and Zhao Wuji and the Celestial Sealing Sect's experts are here. The Celestial Sealing Sect's people will definitely leave.
Lord Qingyu advised, "This King advises you not to get close to the Celestial Sealing Sect's people. Their cultivation bases aren't Golden Core experts. A single thought from them can cover a large area. They can even find an ant. You should wait for them to leave before attacking. Furthermore, you have to keep getting stronger. If you're too weak, even if you successfully condense a Golden Core, you'll still be very weak. Once you're strong enough, This King will be able to leave this treasure to get some fresh air.
"How long do I have to wait?"
He fell silent. He couldn't think of a solution.
Su Fang could only continue cultivating. After devouring Scarlet Swallow Grand Emperor's core embryo and absorbing Yang qi, his core embryo's spiritual energy had already reached a state of fullness.
He immediately used the Hundred Acupoints Finger Art to forcefully attack his physical body, his bloodline, and his divine apertures.
He repeated this no less than a hundred times.
Bang!
He finally broke through. This time, a large amount of blood mist exploded, and impurities poured out. His qi formed three layers.
Vast Core Third Layer
The core embryo melted into a purple river paste. Su Fang hurriedly used the power of advancement to condense the purple river. Soon, his core embryo appeared, and the power of advancement began to attack his divine aperture. Magic power circulated.
Noon was the hottest time of the day.
The State of Zhao
At this moment, Su Fang was disguised as a beggar. Just as he was about to enter the city, he saw human heads hanging on the city walls.
Those heads were the heads of various feudal lords or feudal lords. The State of Zhao had ordered that these heads be hung on the city gates forever to display their imperial might.
They were all powerful people, so their heads wouldn't rot in a short time. But under the scorching sun, they attracted a lot of flies.
"Pound, Xue Wujian, and King Yue. There are many experts' heads here."
Looking around, he really did see some familiar faces. There were hundreds of heads, and a dozen of them belonged to experts who had followed King Yue in the past.
Unfortunately, these people had thought that they would follow King Yue and enjoy his imperial power. They didn't expect to end up like this.
"It's been half a year. The Immortal Sealing Sect's experts still haven't returned to the Crimson Firmament Continent."
After smoothly entering the city, Su Fang calculated the time. They were waiting for the Immortal Sealing Sect's experts to leave the State of Zhao. But if this continued, how long would it take?
Su Fang spent his days scurrying around the city as a beggar. Most of the time, he would leave the city and find a secluded place to continue cultivating.
A few days later, Li Changfeng brought good news from the palace.
As Greenfeather King had expected, the Immortal Sealing Sect's experts had left the State of Zhao. But this time, it wasn't just them. The State of Zhao's ancestral emperor, Zhao Wuji, had also left.
Li Changfeng continued, "Zhao Wuji took away the current crown prince and all the other princes. He passed the throne to King Lang, and King Ming was made King Zhen Wang."
"What about King Yue?" Su Fang wanted to know how King Yue was doing.
"He's still under house arrest. His life is over. All the experts under him were killed."
"Is there any news of Concubine Xiao?"
"We haven't found anything yet. King Lang ascended the throne in the middle of the night. The palace guards are all his trusted aides. He also recruited many experts from all over the world. For example, the Immortal Sealing Sect's Sacred Emperor."
"Immortal Sealing Sect's Sacred Emperor?!"
This was news that caused Su Fang to be extremely surprised.
The Immortal Sealing Sect's Sacred Emperor was just a tyrant. Now that he was able to follow the Emperor and become a big shot in the State of Zhao, he was much stronger than a small prefecture lord.
"The Immortal Sealing Sect's Sacred Emperor working for King Lang is most likely related to Luo Muxue. That woman is related to King Lang."
Su Fang thought of Crane Fairy Bai Ling. Perhaps she had also come to the State of Zhao.
