Of all the people present, no one knew one thing better than Chen Luoyang.
Li Ce, the Western Qin Emperor, was not dead.
Because the dark golden nectar in the white jade bottle did not increase.
In addition to finding out the truth about Chen Chuhua and the black coffin, Chen Luoyang's main purpose in coming to Zhengyang City this time was that no matter how the situation developed, a war would break out.
When the war broke out, the blood and killing would become the source of the dark golden nectar in the white jade bottle.
Although the amount of nectar obtained by killing the target would be increased, as long as warriors died within a certain range, the nectar would increase, although the amount would be slightly less.
And the death of a giant undoubtedly meant a huge amount of dark golden nectar.
Whether it was the war between the other giants and the Western Qin Emperor, or the war between the crowd and Heavenly Devil Ye, as long as there were casualties, Chen Luoyang could get a lot of nectar just by standing aside.
In fact, he did gain a lot.
But the dark golden nectar brought by the death of a giant was definitely not among those gains.
Li Ce, the Western Qin Emperor, did not die.
The problem might lie in the Western Qin General whose surname was Leng.
When Chen Luoyang fought with him just now, he clearly felt that something was wrong.
To be able to gather the Dragon Qi of all living beings to strengthen oneself, it would be an exaggeration to say that such a person was rare.
Moreover, the black dragon protecting him was not the ordinary Dragon Emperor's Sky Edge, but the work of Li Ce, the Western Qin Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor's Sky Edge that the Western Qin Emperor practiced was integrated with the power of Heavenly Devil Ye's Sky Demon Palm, one of the Eight Extremes of Heavenly Devil.
The nine styles of Dragon Emperor's Sky Edge, which had been improved and refined once, were further improved and compressed to only five styles.
The five styles of Broadsword Intent were so mysterious that they turned into five black dragons and joined together like the five fingers of a devil's palm.
So far, the Western Qin Emperor was the only one who had practiced Dragon Emperor's Sky Edge to this level in the entire Western Qin.
At the same time, only the Western Qin Emperor could resist Chen Luoyang's attack with his strength and the tricks he had done on the Western Qin General.
Furthermore, his control of the situation was exquisite. While he was resisting Chen Luoyang, he also limited the impact to a small corner, so as not to alarm too many people.
The rest, such as Li Yuanbang, the eldest son of the emperor of the Western Qin, might be very powerful, but it was hard for them to help others to such an extent.
Therefore, Chen Luoyang immediately felt that the Western Qin general in front of him was unexpectedly the key.
Now, according to the situation of the Western Qin Emperor, Chen Luoyang deeply suspected that the other party might be the Western Qin Emperor's escape plan.
However, he wasn't sure if General Leng was the only one with such a backup plan, or if there were other backup plans.
If the gathering of the Dragon Qi was due to the methods of the Qin Emperor, then there might be more than one such person.
If the reason why the Western Qin general could gather the dragon Qi was his own talent, rather than the emperor's means of transferring the Qi, then he was probably the only one who could do that.
Perhaps it was because of this Western Qin general's ability that he was chosen as the "vessel" for possession by the Qin Emperor.
As far as Chen Luoyang knew, in order to stabilize their own rule, the Li family of the Western Qin, the Xu family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the Cheng family of the Southern Chu Dynasty had killed many bloodlines that could gather the dragon Qi of all living beings to strengthen themselves over the years.
Of course, there would be some who slipped through the net, but the number was absolutely rare and difficult to find.
"Could the Western Qin general just now be a descendant of such a bloodline?"
As Chen Luoyang pondered, he waved his fists to force back the two black dragons that entangled him.
Although he wanted to find Leng Ji, Chen Luoyang became more cautious at the moment.
After all, that was the backup plan of a super giant.
What made him even more vigilant was that all the top figures in the mortal world, including Heavenly Demon Ye and the Sky River Old Sword Immortal, seemed to have been deceived by Emperor Qin's fake death and didn't notice anything wrong.
The Western Qin Emperor's generosity was absolutely breathtaking.
In fact, if he hadn't accidentally discovered the abnormal condition of Leng Ji, and the dark golden wine in the white jade bottle didn't change, Chen Luoyang wouldn't have been able to detect the death of the Western Qin Emperor at all. There might be other mysteries.
As the black rain fell, the dense deathly stillness almost paralyzed everyone.
In it, one could feel the unwillingness and resentment of an emperor who once ruled the world before his death.
Everything seemed to indicate that the Western Qin Emperor, one of the top ten experts in the righteous world, had really died.
Li Yuanbang, the uncrowned crown prince of the Western Qin, also regained the power to preside over Zhengyang City.
The dragon Qi of all living beings gathered from all over the country all unreservedly blessed Li Yuanbang, making him seem as if he had officially inherited the throne of the emperor.
Everyone had been fooled.
Such an action was really amazing.
Chen Luoyang believed that the black coffin might have played a part in it.
The Western Qin Emperor had learned something from the black coffin.
But it seemed that it was not enough to rely on the black coffin alone. After all, the black coffin rushed out of the void while fighting with Heavenly Demon Ye and directly got out of the mortal world.
Leng Ji, the resurrected Western Qin Emperor, stayed in the mortal world. To ensure that nothing went wrong, there should be other things to rely on.
As Chen Luoyang was thinking, he continued to look for Leng Ji.
He had made such a big noise that the Western Qin Emperor and other people naturally noticed it.
But unfortunately, the Western Qin Emperor couldn't spare too many people to deal with it.
Although he had the help of the Milky Way, the Ancient God, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Southern Chu, and the Blood River all continued to attack Zhengyang City.
At the moment, the Buddhist Western Paradise seemed to be unwilling to help either side.
Because of their beliefs, they had secretly fought with the Western Qin Emperor and competed with each other countless times.
The weaker the Western Qin Emperor was, the easier the situation of the Western Qin Emperor would be.
However, as the man in the Milky Way said, the Great Emperor of the Western Qin not only turned against the Western Qin and joined forces with the others to fight against Heavenly Demon Ye, but also died for the sake of justice. It could be said that he and the Western Qin were innocent.
Without Li Ce, the Western Qin Emperor, the Western Qin Emperor was already in a precarious situation.
The people of the Western Heaven couldn't continue to hit them when they were down.
On the other side, a group of Taoists from the Green Ox Temple, after a brief discussion, also joined the Milky Way and the Western Qin Emperor to help the Western Qin Emperor defend the city.
That made the monks of the Western Heaven feel even more complicated.
The Green Ox Temple was based on the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but now they wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the Western Qin Emperor to intervene.
They took the opportunity to help the Western Qin in its hour of need to expand their influence. At the same time, they continued to fight against the Buddhist Western Paradise, so as to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.
With the help of the Green Ox Temple, the defense of the city became more relaxed.
Although the opponents outnumbered them, Li Yuanbang managed to mobilize the remaining power of the city-guarding formation, which could be regarded as a geographical advantage.
In Zhengyang City, the experts of the two camps were entangled, and the battle became more and more fierce.
Chen Luoyang was almost surrounded by enemies.
After killing another opponent, Chen Luoyang's eyes flickered slightly.
He found the whereabouts of Leng Ji.
Leng Ji did not go out of the city, nor did he escape to the most heavily guarded palace.
The place where he was hiding was …
A well in the city.
An ancient well that looked ordinary but actually had a world inside.
Chen Luoyang sensed for a while and found that there was another world at the bottom of the well.
He jumped down, but was blocked by the Bounded Domain.
The Bounded Domain was set up by the Western Qin Emperor. With the current cultivation of Chen Luoyang, it was impossible for him to break it by force.
But as Lin Yan was unlucky, he just met Chen Luoyang who was receiving gifts.
The Western Qin Emperor was in the same situation at the moment.
Chen Luoyang picked out a red Jingang Pestle given by Abbot Puhui of the Western Heaven, and then launched it.
The Crimson Vajra Pestle struck out several times in midair, breaking through the spirit formation barrier.
After entering it, Chen Luoyang couldn't help admiring it.
At the bottom of the well, there was indeed another world, like the Crystal Dragon Palace.
As Chen Luoyang stepped into it, he felt as if he was in extremely heavy and sticky mercury.
Looking back, he saw that the Bounded Domain had been closed again.
As he walked forward, he could feel a strange wave constantly surging in the underwater Dragon Palace.
… It seemed to act directly on the soul, a wave between reality and illusion.
Chen Luoyang carefully felt the changes and then went to find it.
When he got closer, the wave was more obvious, which made Chen Luoyang's Divine Soul a little unstable, and his mind was drifting.
A strange picture seemed to directly appear in his mind.
In this picture, it was the Western Qin general he had just met, sitting in the center of the main hall of the underwater Dragon Palace.
Another five enormous black dragons appeared, and they all turned into a black torrent.
The ends of the five torrents kept shaking in the main hall and the Dragon Palace, and their ultimate goal was to penetrate into the body of the Western Qin general.
Above this person's head, there was a piece of paper that was constantly shaking and rustling.
Chen Luoyang gently held his breath.
He saw an extremely strange and profound handwriting on the glowing torn page of the book.
The handwriting was difficult to distinguish, and it was different from any characters in the mortal world or the Divine Land.
But as soon as he saw the man, the word "Soul" came to Chen Luoyang's mind.
Like his page of the Heavenly Book with the word "Life", it was clearly a broken page of the Heavenly Book.
A Heavenly Book with the word "Soul".
Chen Luoyang suddenly understood.
It turned out that the Western Qin Emperor had secretly obtained a page of the Heavenly Book and secretly studied it.
Then, with the help of this page of the Heavenly Book with the word "Soul" and the black coffin, he faked his own death and escaped.
The young Western Qin general was indeed the "vessel" he prepared for his rebirth.
But did Heavenly Demon Ye know about it?
Did the Western Qin Emperor deceive the whole world, or did the two of them collude?
From a purely technical point of view, it seemed more conducive to the return of the emperor to possess a prince of the Western Qin Emperor than an outsider.
But he didn't know whether it was technically impossible, or a tiger would not eat its cubs, or he wanted to keep a low profile to avoid attracting attention.
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Luoyang's mind in an instant, and then they all gathered together, and finally there was only one.
"What can I get from the current situation?"
After a long breath, Chen Luoyang continued to walk to the central hall of the Dragon Palace.
