Zhang Yu looked at the place where the spirit had resided. There was a golden crystal floating there, and it was surrounded by circles of spirit light threads. At the center of the threads, there was a strand of foreign divine Qi entwined around it. However, upon closer inspection, this Qi seemed to have been captured from the outside world.
This was another item that was being borrowed. It was very similar to how Dao Guardian had placed his divine aura on the scroll.
When they fought earlier, he could see that the person in golden armor was not at a higher level than Dao Guardian. Based on the state the person in golden armor had displayed, the person in golden armor was stronger.
However, in comparison, he believed that this person would not be a match for Dao Guardian in a short period of time and would even be suppressed. However, if Dao Guardian couldn't take down the person in golden armor, then the person in golden armor would be suppressed instead. It should be said that both of them had a chance of winning.
However, considering that this crystal could be inherited by someone else, it could also be chosen by the crystal itself. If there was a backup, then the replacement could continue to fight. This could be considered an advantage.
The biggest difference between the two of them was that Daoist Priest Wei had his own cultivation and was rather independent. The person he fought earlier was merely a carrier of this thing. This thing itself was a living thing, a living thing that had surpassed a higher realm. It was just lending its power to the carrier.
If ordinary cultivators climbed from low to high in search of power, then this was giving power from high to low. Perhaps Dao Guardian still had a chance to reach a higher level, but whether or not he could progress depended on the level of the crystal itself.
After seeing it clearly, he didn't wait any longer. With a thought, a ray of sword light shot out and slashed down on the crystal.
The golden crystal shook as if the Divine Qi on it was trying to resist. However, it was useless against an offensive sword. With a flash of the sword, the Divine Qi on the crystal was cut off. With another twist, the Divine Qi was destroyed. At this point, the man in golden armor no longer existed.
When a cultivator's divine aura was cut off, if their body was still there, their divine aura would be born again. If their body was gone, their divine aura would still be there and they could continue to descend. They were very difficult to kill, and it would take both sides to have a chance of killing them.
There was no need to go through so much trouble here. To put it bluntly, whether it was Dao Guardian or the person in golden armor, they weren't much stronger than cultivators in the void. It was only because of the ability of the item that they were in that they were able to immediately descend after their bodies were destroyed. However, if this was used in battle, the advantage they had was not just a little bit, it was enough to crush those of the same generation.
After dispelling the killing intent, his eyes shined brightly. He looked at the crystal for a while and found something very interesting.
Although this thing was a creation, no matter what it was, once its power reached a certain level, it would all lead to the same destination. He saw a similar technique to the scroll, which meant that even if the person who created the scroll and the person who created this creation were not the same person, there must be some kind of connection between them.
Ever since he read the records of the Vast Race, he had always suspected that the rise of the Vast Race was driven by a force behind the scenes. Now, he could vaguely see some clues.
In reality, whether this force existed or not, it was the Vast Race's own matter. He originally didn't care. What he wanted to confirm was whether this was the arrangement of the "higher self". No matter what it was, as long as it involved the "higher self", then he had to treat it seriously.
Now that the golden crystal had lost its vessel, it couldn't return to the world. He could deal with it later. The matter at hand was to break through the Yang Capital and help King Xi ascend the throne. Then, he would be able to find out the true secret of the Vast Race.
With a thought, he withdrew his aura and retreated. He said to King Xi, "This person has been killed and won't appear again. King Xi, you can continue to advance."
King Xi unconsciously waved the whip in his hand. His excitement was obvious. Not only did he get rid of a great enemy, but the Yang Capital also lost an important protective force. This might be the most important bargaining chip for the Yang Capital right now. Without this obstruction, how could the Yang Capital stop his army with just a few Vast Gods?
He immediately ordered the creator beside him, "Pass down the order to all armies. From now on, attack with all your might!"
The creator acknowledged the order and immediately went to pass down the king's order.
At this moment, King Xi seemed to have thought of something. His expression turned cold. He walked a few steps and returned to his throne. After sitting down, he said to the senator, "Was it Zhu Yeheng who wanted to see me?"
The counselor seemed to have realized something and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes."
King Xi patted his knee with his whip and said casually, "Then let him come over.
The senator lowered his head and said, "Yes."
King Xi thought for a moment, then called over the other senator who was in charge of affairs recently. He gave him a few instructions. The man nodded and turned to leave. After a while, he returned.
At this moment, a subordinate came to report that Zhu Wuhu had arrived. King Xi said, "Call him up."
After a while, Zhu Yeheng arrived at the royal hall. He bowed to King Xi and said, "This humble subject, Zhu Yeheng, greets Your Highness."
King Xi didn't say anything. He just waved his whip and staff rhythmically.
Zhu Yeheng also stood there, maintaining a saluting posture.
After a long while, King Xi finally opened his mouth and said, "Do you hate me for snatching away the title of your successor?"
Zhu Yeheng raised his head. He slowly withdrew his bearing and stood up straight. He said, "Of course I hate you. Your Highness has given this humble subject hope time and time again, but you have taken it away time and time again. How can this humble subject not resent you? "
King Xi said, "So you came to find me just now to deliberately lead the way for someone to come and kill me?"
Zhu Yeheng calmly said, "It was just a gamble. I am now Your Highness's closest relative by blood. As long as Your Highness is no longer here, even if I lose my title, I can still obtain the support of many people. I am more qualified to inherit Your Highness's power and great undertaking than that Zongzi Zhu Banye, who was conferred the title of Elder. "
King Xi snorted and said, "You are quite frank."
Zhu Yeheng calmly said, "So what if I'm not frank? Your Highness won't believe my excuses. "
King Xi said, "You wouldn't have done this on a whim. Since you've done it, you should have made arrangements. Speak. Tell me all the people who are involved with you. If so, I can consider pardoning your crimes."
Zhu Yeheng raised his head and looked at him. He said, "Does Your Highness think you have won?"
King Xi's gaze fell. He said, "The Elder Council's protection is gone, and nine out of ten of the outer defenses are gone. They won't be able to hold on for much longer. Mn." He pointed his cane downwards. "You're saying that because you have something in your hands that can turn the situation around? Take it out! Take it out and let me see. "
He saw that Zhu Yeheng was standing motionless and didn't say anything. He revealed a cold sneer and leaned back. "You have to do it as soon as possible. I don't have the patience to wait any longer."
Zhu Yeheng slowly said, "Someone came looking for me before and asked me to bring something to Your Highness."
King Xi's gaze sharpened and revealed a bit of killing intent. He said, "I expected it." Then he revealed a contemptuous expression. "But it's the same old trick again. Did they think that I wouldn't be on guard after they succeeded once?"
He didn't need Zhu Yeheng to say anything else. He knew that someone must have asked him to bring something that could strengthen the curse power to him so that the army would lose their commander.
But after being attacked once, he had taken precautions. There was a spiritual barrier within the flying boat. Once on the flying boat, nothing could be brought on board.
Zhu Yeheng said, "This subject indeed couldn't bring anything extra, but that thing …" He raised his head. "What if it was this subject's own body?"
King Xi sat there, unmoved.
Beside him, Councillor Song said, "Protector Wu wouldn't think that Wang Zhou's defense is so weak, right? Even if Protector Wu became the cursed artifact himself, did you think that Wang Zhou wouldn't be able to detect it? "
Zhu Yeheng ignored him. Instead, he looked at King Xi and said, "Your Highness has previously used your relatives to share the burden of the curse. You should also know that the power of the curse can be strengthened through the bloodline. This subject is the one with the closest bloodline to Your Highness. If I am willing, I can become the blood curse and use it to curse Your Highness to death!"
He looked straight up. "Indeed, Your Highness might have a way to avoid it, but even if the army is leaderless for a moment, it will surely cause trouble for Your Highness's plans, right?"
He raised his head and puffed out his chest as he pointed outside. "Just like now, Your Highness is about to attack Yang Capital. Victory is right in front of your eyes. If Your Highness suddenly becomes seriously ill at this time, it will surely shake the army's morale and cause the attack to fail. I don't think Your Highness wants to see this happen, right?"
King Xi said, "Since you're here, you must be here to talk about your conditions. There's no need to hide them. Say them all."
Zhu Yeheng said, "I don't ask for much. I just want to restore the Zongzi's reputation and announce it to the entire army."
King Xi said coldly, "If I can establish you, then I can also remove you."
Zhu Yeheng said, "That's in the future. The army is on an expedition outside. I don't think Your Highness will go back on your word. Moreover, I believe that Your Highness won't be able to break the bloodline curse so quickly. This subject also has some life-saving skills. "
King Xi patted his hand with his cane and turned to say, "Councillor Song, what do you think? Should I agree to his conditions?"
Councillor Song bowed and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate thinks that you shouldn't agree. It's not that this subordinate isn't worried about Your Highness's noble health, but because even if you agree to his conditions, the result will be the same. I heard that Zhu Wuhu's thirteenth son was born last week. If Zhu Wuhu becomes the Zongzi, he can give up his life and immediately use the blood curse to perish together with Your Highness! After doing this, he can let his own son inherit his position. In terms of succession, it would be perfectly justifiable. "
As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhu Yeheng. "Perhaps Zhu Wuhu had already made these arrangements before he came to the royal ark."
King Xi looked at Zhu Yeheng again and said, "Did you hear that? Is this what you plan to do? "
Zhu Yeheng's expression didn't change. He raised his head again and said, "Does Your Highness refuse this subject?"
King Xi picked up his cane and waved it at him, saying, "This Prince will never be threatened by anyone."
Zhu Yeheng nodded. At this moment, a red color appeared on his pale cheeks. "Your Highness, be careful!" Councillor Song hurriedly stepped forward. He spread his arms wide and used his fat body to block in front of the throne.
With a boom, Zhu Yeheng exploded into a bloody mist on the spot. A thick stench of blood filled the hall.
King Xi frowned. He felt as if he was carrying a heavy burden at this moment. His breathing also became somewhat labored. He snorted and looked at Zhang Yu, who was standing in front of the crystal wall and looking at the scenery outside. He said, "Teacher Tao, how long can this body of mine last?"
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "If you have the nourishment of a high-grade pill, you can last half a year at most."
A bright light flashed through King Xi's eyes. He said, "That's enough." He stood up. "Now that the obstacles have been removed, I will definitely take down Yang Capital within a month!"
