Zhuang Gaoxian looked at the young man prostrating himself before the Pill Emperor with great interest, but he wasn't moved by the display of loyalty he was putting on.
Even if he hadn't heard similar words ten thousand times, he had at least heard it a thousand times. It wasn't surprising at all.
It was just that he subconsciously compared Zhu Wei Wo to this young man in front of him. Compared to that proud genius who always held his head high, it was still this handsome young man who was willing to crawl on the ground that made him feel more like a monarch looking down on him. He could feel the joy of power more.
He had always thought that he could tolerate the personality of any genius, including Zhu Weiwo's excessive pride.
But only now did he realize that he could only tolerate pride that was within his control.
When Zhu Weiwo chose to betray the country, that pride became especially hateful.
"Control" was what he had always cared about the most.
Or it could be said that everyone who had tasted power couldn't tolerate losing control.
The reason why Han Yin held power for hundreds of years and treated his son as a puppet. The reason why Han Xu took the risk to kill a Perfected Person. It was all because of this.
"Rise, my beloved."
Zhuang Gao Xian said calmly.
When Lin Zhengren climbed up from the ground and stood properly, he still respectfully lowered his head.
He continued, "The human heart is difficult. Han Yin killed his own nephew, Han Xu killed his own father, Zhu Weiwo betrayed the country despite receiving its grace. Even if I am a present age Perfected Person, it is difficult for me to know the truth of the human heart. "
Lin Zhengren hurriedly said, "The sun and the moon can bear witness to this subject's loyalty … …"
Zhuang Gao Xian waved his hand, interrupting his declaration of loyalty.
"Whether it is true or not is not important. What is important is whether you say it or not. In terms of behavior, it is not the heart. In terms of the heart, no one is perfect. What I want is attitude. "
His voice wasn't loud, but it inexplicably gave people a heavy pressure. That was the natural majesty of someone who had been in power for a long time.
"It doesn't matter if you are sincere or not. Just remember one thing. Fame and fortune or cultivation resources, whatever you want, I can give it to you. And what I want, you must do well. "
Lin Zhengren prostrated again. Since Zhuang Gao Xian wanted an attitude, he didn't mind expressing his attitude, "In this life, Zhengren will not betray your grace!"
They were both smart people. When they worked together, no one could separate them.
This situation was the ideal relationship between the ruler and his subject. In the future, if the grand plan was carried out and both the emperor and his ministers achieved success, it would be recorded in the history books and would be a good story.
However, at this moment, Zhuang Gaoxian suddenly stood up. Even he, who was in great danger, could not help but lose his composure!
Lin Zhengren was perturbed, but he kept his position. He looked down and did not say a word.
Du Ruhui, on the other hand, stepped into the hall without any notice and said in an urgent voice, "Your Majesty, something has happened in the Water Manor!"
The Zhuang Country's Mountain River Seal showed that the eight hundred miles of Qing River was in turmoil and the water was unstable.
The urgent letter from the Qinghe County Government, the blooming of the water duckweed, and the Qingjiang River was dyed red. All these indicated that …
The Water Lord of Qingjiang, Song Hengjiang, was dead!
The man and the woman looked at each other. Their many years of tacit understanding allowed them to reach a consensus without needing to say anything. They turned around and walked out of the palace.
Only Lin Zhengren, who had just been summoned, remained in the hall. His expression didn't change, but his mind was racing.
What could happen to Qingjiang?
There were not many things that could make Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui lose their composure. Could it be related to Dong A's murderer … Jiang Wang?
Mountain Ghost …
Lin Zhengren silently clenched his fists.
…
…
In the underwater devil's cave.
Jiang Wang jumped out of the Immortal Monument and slashed Zhuang Chengqian. He took the opportunity to open two mansions and achieve two supernatural powers.
He didn't have time to carefully experience the changes in his body. He discovered that the Yin Demons in the one hundred and eight blood-patterned coffins were disintegrating one after another. Wisps of Devil Qi entered and drilled into the cave.
It was like a wanderer returning home.
But the ancient passage was already closed. They couldn't enter the Ten Thousand Worlds Desolate Tomb.
Jiang Wang had a realization. The ancient devil's cave was already abandoned. In order to trigger the Unlivable Calamity, the White Bone God personally set the date of Zhuang Chengqian's death. He forcefully opened the ancient passage and completely shattered the last trace of uniqueness here.
At this moment, the White Bone God returned to the Netherworld with Zhuang Chengqian's fate and lifespan. The Blood Puppet True Demon couldn't resist the summons and also fell into the Ten Thousand Worlds Desolate Tomb.
This place would naturally return to "normal".
In a sense, the hidden danger of the Zhuang Country had disappeared.
But the bigger hidden danger, Jiang Wang, gained new growth.
The Yin Demons in the outer cave were all raised by Song Hengjiang to provide Song Wanxi with Devil Qi. When the glass coffin shattered, the formation that connected them also collapsed.
But the devil's cave was still there. The Blood Puppet True Demon and Song Wanxi were still there. They could still continue.
After the True Demon left and the devil's cave disappeared, they also disappeared.
Only the Devil Qi that was formed in the end was still stubbornly looking for a way back.
Jiang Wang casually summoned the True Samadhi Fire to burn it.
If the Devil Qi were to spread, it would easily affect the Qingjiang Water Clan and harm the innocent.
The True Samadhi Fire merged the Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Naturally, it was useful against the Devil Qi.
As soon as the Devil Qi was burned out, the river water quickly poured in and filled up everything in the devil's cave. The uniqueness of this place completely lost its effect.
Only then did Song Hengjiang's corpse change.
But the change only stopped at the head.
At the eyebrows above the eyes, a piece of flesh protruded and crossed between the eyes, like two swords crossing each other.
This was the mark of the Flood Dragon Clan. It was also the origin of the name "Flood Dragon."
But the body did not change.
The reason why humans and the Water Clan were said to be one big family was because there were not many differences between the Water Clan and humans except for some unique characteristics of the Water Clan.
The two were like close relatives of the same clan, so there was a natural basis for an alliance.
But there were also a large number of people who were hostile to the Water Clan, such as the Luo Nation. Of course, there were also Water Clans who were hostile to humans. But because of the strength of humans in the modern world, there were probably not many who were still alive.
What made Jiang Wang nervous was that as the river water poured into the devil's cave, the blood in Song Hengjiang's corpse began to spread. One by one, small red flowers spread along the river.
There was a cruel beauty to the scene.
But to Jiang Wang, it meant that this place was no longer safe.
As a mysterious place, the ancient devil's cave's function of blocking outside perception had disappeared. It could no longer hide a huge battle.
Jiang Wang's plan to hide here and continue to lie low had also been foiled.
He could not stay here for long!
Without hesitation, he picked up his sword and left.
But there had to be a plan to escape.
He did not escape directly out of the cave. Instead, he immediately turned into the cave on the right. Pressing the bronze mirror on the dressing table, he made a hand seal and moved. Following the previous events, he landed in the Qingjiang Water Palace.
Song Hengjiang died, and the water duckweed flowers bloomed.
Not long after, the Water Clan powerhouses who sensed the drastic change had already landed at the entrance of the devil's cave.
Despite the high tension, Jiang Wang still maintained a clear judgment.
Song Hengjiang's death would definitely affect the Water Clan powerhouses. Hiding and escaping from the empty Qingjiang Water Palace was the best choice now!
