Chapter 220: Dynasty Secrets, the Immortal Emperor, the Wine Bug or... the Nine Bugs

Use the incarnation of the outsider to control a Gu cultivator, and then use the other party to enter the prison of the Demon Suppression Division of Huaiyang Prefecture.

This is the first step of Lu Chen's plan to "steal the sky and change the day".

As for the second step, which is what he is doing now, he is collecting as much information as possible about the Demon Suppression Prison.

Including the layout of the Demon Suppression Prison and what demons and evil creatures are imprisoned there.

In this way, only in this way can it be convenient for them to replace these people in the future.

Now Lu Chen's control over the external incarnation has reached an extremely high level.

Ordinary restrictions are simply useless to Lu Chen.

If Lu Chen hadn't thought that directly controlling a prison guard from the Demon Suppression Division would easily attract the attention of the Demon Suppression Division in advance, he could have directly controlled the other person when the prison guard was escorting him.

As Lu Chen walked out of the prison, the Demon Suppression Prison in Huaiyang Prefecture soon came into Lu Chen's sight.

The entire underground prison is divided into four floors, namely cells A, B, C, and D.

The demons imprisoned in the first two levels are just ordinary demons. Most of them have some cultivation, but their cultivation is average.

Those imprisoned in the last two levels are the real tough guys.

For example, the room 'B' where Lu Chen is currently is holding a cultivator of the second realm.

As for Room 'A', it is even more different.

That is a room specially prepared for the 'Three Realms'.

Although Room A has the fewest prisoners, it occupies two-thirds of the entire underground prison.

This also shows how much importance the Demon Suppression Division attaches to Room A.

There were only five similar prisons in the entire Daying Dynasty.

There is one each in the east, south, west and north, and one in the central palace.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Prison in the Imperial Palace is the largest, and it holds the most powerful demons and big monsters.

Although the Huaiyang Prefecture Demon Suppression Division where Lu Chen is currently located also imprisoned many big demons and big devils, it is far inferior to the Imperial Palace Demon Suppression Division in terms of both quantity and quality.

Lu Chen walked in the underground prison, and along the way he saw many demons and evil cultivators imprisoned in Room B.

Similar to the demons and evil cultivators in Zhongzhou, these guys imprisoned in Room B are all entangled in karma.

It was obvious that there was a lot of blood on his hands.

"Listen carefully, have you found the formation here?"

Di Ting, who was lying on the ground, heard this and replied with his ear to the ground, "I found it, but Brother Lu, there seems to be a big fish hiding deep underground here. It's a bit difficult to deal with."

"It's okay. These are all within my expectations. You just need to find out what the restrictions are here."

"OK."

After a while, Di Ting stood up.

"Okay, Brother Lu, except for the big fish in the deep, I have found most of the restrictions here."

Lu Chen nodded, then took Di Ting back to his original cell.

Because Lu Chen had already sensed someone walking towards the floor of Room B.

Now is not the time to expose yourself.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a golden order around his waist passed by the cell in front of Lu Chen.

Beside the other party, there were two Silver Order Heavenly Masters from the Demon Suppression Division.

The three of them passed through the floor of Room B and went directly to the floor of Room A deep inside.

After the three people left, Lu Chen released Di Ting again.

After Di Ting's arrangements just now, it is now able to circumvent most of the restrictions here.

Coupled with its outstanding hearing, Di Ting is now able to monitor most areas in the prison.

Although Lu Chen didn't know who the three people who just passed by were.

But through the clothes of the three people, Lu Chen already roughly knew the identity of this person.

There is no doubt that this person is the current ruler of the Demon Suppression Division of Huainan Prefecture, the third-level Gu cultivator... Yuwen Hongguang.

'The situation in the Daying Dynasty is turbulent right now. A Level 3 Gu Cultivator would not move around casually unless there is something important going on. It seems that there must be something important hidden in the Demon Suppression Division prison.'

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately patted Di Ting's head and asked it to listen carefully to what Yuwen Hongguang was doing in this underground prison.

The Demon Suppression Division is on the third floor below ground, Room A.

Yuwen Hongguang walked to Room A. There were only six rooms in total, as well as an exclusive prison independent of Room A.

The place he was going to this time was Room No. 5 of Room A.

"Your Excellency, the Patrol Envoy."

Upon seeing Yuwen Hongguang appear, the jailer guarding Room A immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Open room five."

"yes."

The jailer came to Cell No. 5 and suddenly a special jade talisman appeared in his hand.

As the jade talisman fit into the groove on the cell door, countless array lights appeared above the door.

After a while, the originally tightly closed cell door slowly opened.

Inside the cell, Yue Ziqi, with disheveled hair, raised his head and soon saw his former colleague.

Yuwen Hongguang looked at him and said calmly, "You still don't want to say it?"

Yue Ziqi lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."

"Oh."

Yuwen Hongguang sneered, then came up to Yue Ziqi.

"Zi Qi, do you think that as long as you don't tell us, we won't be able to find out who is behind this?"

"To tell you the truth, it was not my intention to touch you. I don't have that much power. It was the order from the current emperor himself."

"Tell us what you know now. His Majesty may give you a quick death in consideration of your past contributions."

"But if you don't tell me, then what's waiting for you next are those old monsters in the palace prison."

"Tell me, where is Empress Xiao, and where is the Crown Prince?"

"Speak out. You can still keep your dignity if you speak out."

Hearing this, Yue Ziqi didn't know what he was thinking about, and slowly raised his head.

Although at this moment his limbs were locked by the Demon-Suppressing Nails, causing him to look none of the majesty he once had as the Third Realm Golden Order.

But those eyes did not look bleak at all, and were still full of spirit.

This made Yuwen Hongguang admire him but also feel very dissatisfied.

Feel that their authority has been challenged.

Yue Ziqi looked at Yuwen Hongguang and said calmly: "Hongguang, how old is the current emperor?"

Hearing this, Yuwen Hongguang narrowed his eyes and said dimly, "Five hundred and six."

"Yes, it's more than 500 years old. But after 500 years, does His Majesty have any offspring?"

"Zi Qi, I know what you want to say, but what does this have to do with me? I am just a Golden Order. My duty is to help His Majesty and the court suppress those demons and monsters that are causing chaos in our court. I don't care about anything else."

Yue Ziqi didn't seem surprised by this.

He looked at Yuwen Hongguang and said to himself, "It's been more than 500 years, but your majesty has not only changed seven queens, but none of them has successfully given birth to a child for him."

"Even if your majesty is the emperor with the highest cultivation level in our dynasty, this lifespan is undoubtedly beyond the limit that can be achieved by a normal third realm cultivator."

"Perhaps it's not that Your Majesty has never given birth to an heir before, but..."

"Shut up!"

Before Yue Ziqi could finish his words, Yuwen Hongguang interrupted him.

After all, there are some things that the more you know, the faster you die.

The current Daying Dynasty is not the same as before.

Five hundred years ago in the Daying Dynasty, although the emperors had cultivation, they were often short-lived and their cultivation was not very high.

Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the third-level monks in the territory to help consolidate the rule.

But things are different now. The current emperor Zhao Zhongming is not only the most powerful emperor in the history of the Daying Dynasty, but also the one with the longest life.

After five hundred years, Zhao Zhongming's control over the current Daying Dynasty has reached an almost abnormal level.

The four major families of the past were completely turned into vassals of the dynasty and were at its mercy under Zhao Zhong's covert and overt manipulation.

It can be said that the current Daying Dynasty is a one-man show led by Zhao Zhongming.

Whatever he wants his men to do, they must do it.

Under such circumstances, the national strength of the Daying Dynasty achieved unprecedented development in the past five hundred years.

It reached the peak of the Daying Dynasty in its 5,000 years of existence.

It can be said that Zhao Zhongming himself is almost the most talented and imperially minded emperor since the founding of Daying.

But such a perfect emperor now has a fatal weakness.

That is, he has not been able to give birth to a child since he ascended the throne.

The only offspring was the crown prince, Zhao Weiyang, who was born in the palace fifteen years ago.

But ten years ago, a fire engulfed the palace.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The queen and the prince disappeared in the fire.

Although Zhao Zhongming told the public that the Queen and Zhao Weiyang both died in the fire.

But a few people know that Empress Xiao and Zhao Weiyang were not actually dead.

With the help of some people, they escaped from the palace.

Over the past ten years, Emperor Zhao Zhongming has lost countless lives while investigating this matter.

It was because of this incident that Yue Ziqi was imprisoned by Yuwen Hongguang.

After all, he and Empress Xiao were childhood sweethearts.

There are enough reasons to help Empress Xiao.

But Yue Ziqi is a third-level cultivator and a disciple of one of the four major families.

Even if Zhao Zhongming wanted to touch him, it would not be an easy task.

The Daying Dynasty was not a dynasty of Zhao Zhongming alone.

If he attacked a third-level cultivator for no reason, it would undoubtedly arouse the rebellious psychology of other cultivator families.

If the demon had not just appeared and all the major families had focused all their energy on it, it would not have been easy for Zhao Zhongming to lock up Yue Ziqi.

Faced with the stubborn Yue Ziqi, Yuwen Hongguang, whether out of past friendship or other reasons, ultimately chose not to continue asking and left silently.

Demon Suppression Division, Room T.

"The immortal emperor has no offspring..."

After listening to the information overheard by Di Ting, Lu Chen immediately fell into deep thought.

Because he felt like he had grasped something, but just a little bit short.

You have to know that Lu Chen did so many things, in the final analysis, just to find the legendary "wine bug".

But whether it was the books in the hands of Cui Chengyun and other Gu practitioners, or the Gu practitioners they captured and questioned later, none of them had ever heard of the wine worm.

It was as if this alcohol addiction did not exist at all in the Daying Dynasty.

This is either because the existence of the alcohol bug is very special and ordinary people cannot come into contact with it at all.

Either this kind of poisonous insect does not exist at all, and the Immortal Gu Yue is playing tricks on them.

Lu Chen personally prefers the former.

After all, it is the difference between 'Gu Yue' and 'Gu Yue'.

Lu Chen thought that this 'wine' might be 'nine'.

Therefore, what they are really looking for is most likely the 'Nine Insects'.

However, these are just Lu Chen's guesses and have not been confirmed.

But Lu Chen had a hunch that he might soon know the truth.

And this key should be in the hands of Yue Ziqi in Room A.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it is almost impossible for an emperor who is blessed by the luck of the dynasty to live forever.

Lu Chen had only seen this happen to one person.

That is the immortal Ji Linger.

But the other party's situation is a little different from that of the emperor of the Daying Dynasty.

Ji Ling'er herself has no cultivation, and all her power is based on the fortune of the Great Yan Dynasty.

But according to Lu Chen's understanding, the emperor of the Daying Dynasty is himself a Gu cultivator at the peak of the third realm.

However, due to special reasons, the lifespan of Gu cultivators is often shorter than that of normal Jindan stage cultivators.

A normal Jindan stage cultivator can live for about 500 years, but a third level Gu cultivator can often only live for more than 300 years.

The difference of these two hundred years lies in that once the Gu cultivator's body and soul begin to age, he may not be able to suppress the Gu worms in his body.

And those poisonous insects don't want to grow old and die with the poison cultivators.

Therefore, most Gu practitioners were generally miserable in previous years.

But the current Daying Emperor Zhao Zhongming seems to have broken this restriction.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's eyes gradually became profound.

'Did something extend his life, or did he receive something special?'

Lu Chen stood up and immediately prepared to find the answer himself.

Demon Suppression Prison, Room A-5.

rock!

As the cell was opened again, Yue Ziqi thought that Yuwen Hongguang had returned.

Just when he was really ready to let the other party give up.

Yue Ziqi was surprised to find that the person who came was a stranger he had never seen before.

"Who are you?"

Lu Chen did not answer, but walked up to him and said calmly, "It's not important."

"unimportant?"

Just when Yue Ziqi looked confused, he saw Lu Chen raised his hand and placed it on his forehead.

"Because to a dead man, it doesn't matter who I am."

The next second, Lu Chen's external incarnation turned into a black smoke and went directly into Yue Ziqi's soul space along the center of his eyebrows.

From the very beginning, Lu Chen never thought that Yue Ziqi would answer his questions calmly.

So he didn't want to waste time with Yue Ziqi at all.

Directly occupy Yue Ziqi's body and search his soul and memory, this is what Lu Chen plans to do.

Although this method is a bit cruel, Lu Chen is not a pedantic person.

As long as he believes that what he is doing is right, Lu Chen will not care no matter how unorthodox it may seem to outsiders.

Therefore, Lu Chen never sticks to any righteous character.

No matter whether it is the righteous way or the evil way, as long as it is useful, it is a good way.

After the external Taoist incarnation entered Yue Ziqi's soul, he immediately came to a void of white space.

Opposite him, Yue Ziqi, who was in the spiritual state, was a little weak, but different from him who was trapped outside with the Demon-Suppressing Nail.

In the soul space, he can use his third-level skills.

After all, this is his home ground! Yue Ziqi looked at Lu Chen who suddenly broke into his soul, and his eyes became extremely cold.

"Get out of my body."

As he spoke, an illusory spear appeared in his hand.

As he got the spear in hand, Yue Ziqi's momentum began to rise.

An illusory white horse appeared behind him.

And that white horse is his natal Gu worm, Luoyunju Gu.
