Chapter 224: Immortals will not die, thieves will not stop, heading to the imperial city

"Roar!"

Looking at Lu Chen who was constantly absorbing his power, the Golden Dragon of Luck's IQ was only at the level of a child.

But the instinct for survival made it make what it believed to be the most correct decision.

That is, regardless of the entanglement of the sword energy and golden dragon in front of him, he should deal with Lu Chen first.

But the Golden Dragon of Sword Qi is not something it can get rid of just because it wants to.

Perhaps because of the mutual understanding with Lu Chen, the Golden Dragon of Sword Qi changed from his previous irritability to become cautious and tactful.

It did not choose to confront the Luck Corpse Dragon head-on, but just tried to delay the opponent as much as possible.

Although in terms of power and physical strength, the Sword Qi Golden Dragon is much weaker than the Fortune Corpse Dragon in front of it.

But the battle site was in a closed underground cave.

This disadvantage is nothing.

After all, the place is so small that it is almost impossible for the Luck Corpse Dragon to bypass the Sword Qi Golden Dragon and attack Lu Chen.

Therefore, whenever the Luck Corpse Dragon tried to knock away the Sword Qi Golden Dragon to attack Lu Chen, the Sword Qi Golden Dragon would desperately hold it back.

But when it wanted to deal with the Sword Qi Golden Dragon first and then deal with Lu Chen.

The Sword Qi Golden Dragon will avoid fighting and try not to give the Luck Corpse Dragon a chance to seriously injure him.

Such a slippery tactic made it impossible for the inexperienced Corpse Dragon to find any way out. He could only watch the lotus under Lu Chen's feet grow bigger and bigger.

As well as the energy of destiny and resentment within the underground cave, they are becoming less and less.

Less than half a minute passed before Lu Chen finally stopped absorbing the surrounding luck and resentment.

Because the 'Green Lotus Spirit Sword' floating above his head has reached a level that is enough to severely injure or even kill the Luck Corpse Dragon.

This is Lu Chen’s Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain.

As long as there is enough energy around and he is given enough time to prepare.

Theoretically, he could even kill an immortal with one sword!

"cut."

Under the horrified eyes of the Fortune Corpse Dragon, a huge Green Lotus Spirit Sword with lotus patterns all over the blade slashed towards its head.

In order to not give it space to dodge, the Sword Qi Golden Dragon directly hugged the opponent, making it unable to move.

Boom! The Green Lotus Spirit Sword slashed heavily on the neck of the Luck Corpse Dragon, smashing it down heavily.

However, the Luck Corpse Dragon was very hard, and the sword stopped after penetrating more than half of its neck, as if it could not go any further.

If it is this, then this sword is not enough to kill it.

But Lu Chen had a backup plan.

Phew!

The golden dragon of sword energy bit the neck of the corpse dragon of luck and began to frantically absorb the true dragon power from the other.

If it was said that the Qinglian Sword Domain was only competing with the Fortune Corpse Dragon for the surrounding energy before.

What the golden dragon of sword energy is doing now is absorbing the essence of the dragon of luck.

And this is Lu Chen’s real killer move.

You should know that the predecessor of the Molong Sword was the Mojiao Sword.

The Mo Jiao Sword is one of the twelve dragon-slaying swords in the Shanhai Division.

It has a strong inhibitory effect on dragon creatures.

Lu Chen deliberately did not reveal this before.

One reason was that he didn't want to give the Luck Corpse Dragon any chance to turn the tables.

The second reason is that he needs to use the precious dragon energy from the Fortune Corpse Dragon to help his Black Dragon Sword grow.

The transformation from 'Three Realms Spiritual Treasures' to 'Fourth Realm Dao Instruments' is to leave traces of 'Tao' on the spiritual treasures.

This step requires the spirit of the spiritual treasure to learn that special "Tao" by itself before it can be completed completely.

Therefore, this step often takes hundreds or thousands of years to achieve.

After all, it is difficult for an artifact spirit to grow overnight.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Absorb the power of the true dragon and strengthen yourself.

This is a rare method that can directly help the Molong Sword grow quickly.

"roar!"

Feeling that his own essence was rapidly draining away, the Luck Corpse Dragon became completely panicked.

Its body began to struggle frantically, and its claws kept slapping on the Sword Qi Golden Dragon, hoping to push this guy away from itself.

However, at this moment half of its body was confined in the formation.

There was another Green Lotus Sword on his neck, suppressing him.

So much so that it couldn't get rid of the sword energy golden dragon in front of it.

He could only watch helplessly as the dragon essence in his body entered the body of the golden dragon of sword energy.

As the dragon essence entered the body, the body of the Sword Qi Golden Dragon began to become more real.

Pah! When the Sword Qi Golden Dragon absorbed all of the Dragon's Essence from the Luck Corpse Dragon, the Luck Corpse Dragon's body completely shattered, revealing the dried corpse of the child at the beginning.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen immediately retracted his Molong Sword and Shangqingyun Sword.

Because Molongjian had just eaten a big meal, some changes seemed to have occurred at this time.

Lu Chen could clearly feel an emotion called "joy" from it.

You should know that although the Molong Sword had a spirit before, that spirit was not very agile.

But this time it's different.

With a little curiosity, Lu Chen put his mind into the Molong Sword.

In the space of the Black Dragon Sword, Lu Chen saw a child about three years old, touching his belly with a look of enjoyment on his face.

The child has horns on his head and a dragon's tail behind him.

A perfect little dragon costume.

Seeing Lu Chen appear, the little dragon danced with joy.

But it seemed that it couldn't speak yet, so it just made some babbling movements.

The amazing thing is that Lu Chen was able to sense what it wanted to convey at this moment.

That is, it wants to eat more true dragon power similar to the one just now.

In response, Lu Chen said helplessly: "There is no more now. I will find some for you later."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the little dragon jumped up happily.

But it was happy for only a moment, and then it started yawning continuously, looking sleepy.

Not long after, Lu Chen exited the sword spirit space of the Molong Sword.

At the same time when Lu Chen had just dealt with the Luck Corpse Dragon.

Emperor Zhao Zhongming, who was far away in the palace of Daying Dynasty, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Faced with this sudden scene, the palace maids and eunuchs who were taking care of him at meals were instantly frightened.

"His Majesty……"

A eunuch stepped forward and wanted to ask what happened, but was stopped by Zhao Zhongming with a wave of his hand.

Seeing Zhao Zhongming's actions, the eunuch said worriedly: "Your Majesty, do you need me to call the imperial physician?"

"No, you guys go out first, I'll take a rest for a while."

Although I am still a little worried about Zhao Zhongming's physical condition.

But these eunuchs did not dare to disobey his orders, so they left one after another, leaving Zhao Zhongming alone in the hall.

After these people left, Zhao Zhongming's expression immediately became gloomy.

He looked in a certain direction outside the hall, his eyes extremely cold.

But behind that coldness, there is an unspeakable fear.

It seems like he is worried that some secret will be discovered.

Seven days later, in an inn in Huaiyang Prefecture.

At this time, seven days had passed since the rebellion in the Demon Suppression Division of Huaiyang Prefecture.

These seven days were extremely difficult for the people of Huainan Prefecture.

Because too many people died during these seven days.

Among them were the fallen Demon Suppression Masters, as well as many ordinary people who were killed by the escaped great demon cultivators.

So much so that during this period of time, people were holding funerals everywhere in Huaiyang Prefecture.

Sadness was everywhere in the city.

In an inn in Huaiyang Prefecture, a scholar and a maid were drinking wine leisurely.

Strangely, the scholar even had his pets, a small white dog and a big orange cat, sit at the table.

It seemed that in his eyes, the cat and the dog were almost the same as humans.

"Junior Brother Lu, are you sure it's okay for us to do this? If someone investigates carefully, they might soon find out that you and Shangguan girl are fake identities."

While drinking, Lu Chen said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it is discovered or not. What matters is when it is discovered."

"The Daying Dynasty is in turmoil right now. No one would care about the life and death of an ordinary scholar, right?"

"That's true."

That’s right, the scholar and the maid in front of them were Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng in disguise.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The cat and the dog are King Meow and Di Ting.

Although Lu Chen had said before that he wanted everyone to borrow the identity of a demon cultivator to hide their true identity.

But that is all based on the premise that other people cannot hide their aura well.

On the premise that they are both practitioners, disguising as a demon cultivator may not necessarily be much better, but it is still better than being mistaken for a demon from outer space.

But based on this, there is a better way to disguise.

That is to disguise yourself as an ordinary citizen with no cultivation.

You have to know that after this turmoil in the Demon Suppression Division, no one knew how many people died in the entire Huaiyang Prefecture.

Even if Lu Chen's identity was exposed, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.

Not to mention that the identity he is currently disguising himself in is not a random choice, but something he had thought of long ago.

His current identity is a scholar from Huaiyang Prefecture named 'Liu Qiming'.

However, the status of scholars in the Daying Dynasty was not low at all.

This is because scholars can absorb the "literary spirit" through acquired means and cultivate their own literary courage.

Then use the "Daying Edict" to implement special measures.

This is the method that Cui Chengyun had used before.

The reason why Lu Chen chose Liu Qiming as his disguise object.

One reason is that this guy himself is not a good person.

The second reason is that although this guy has average talent, he has initially condensed literary energy.

This is a very good target for Lu Chen, who possesses a mighty sword energy.

Although the Liu family is only a small family in Huaiyang Prefecture, perhaps it is because the emperor is far away.

The Liu family committed almost any evil in Huaiyang Prefecture, especially in their family fiefdom.

Therefore, after releasing some evil demons, Lu Chen deliberately guided some of them to the Liu family.

Today, the Liu family exists in name only.

It also provided Lu Chen with a perfect opportunity to disguise himself.

Of course, this disguise is not perfect.

Because people have not only relatives in their lives, but also many familiar or unfamiliar friends.

Lu Chen couldn't guarantee whether he would meet these people.

I can't guarantee that I can avoid all investigations.

But as he said, he never intended to keep pretending from the beginning.

He just had to pretend for a certain amount of time.

And this time was after he entered the Bailu Academy.

Because based on the previous situation of the corpse dragon of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Lu Chen had already guessed the immortal nature of Daying Emperor Zhao Zhongming.

Generally speaking, a cultivator's life span is not only limited by his own lifespan, but also related to his own soul.

Lu Chen didn't know where Zhao Zhongming found the Immortal Thief's Immortal Immortal Technique.

But he relied on the methods of the Immortal Thief to break through the limitations of his lifespan and continuously strengthen his soul.

In this way, another kind of immortality can be achieved.

Lu Chen speculated that the so-called "immortal thief" did not focus on the word "immortal" but on the word "thief".

The so-called "stealing" means stealing something that belongs to someone else and making it your own.

Lu Chen concluded that what Zhao Zhongming stole should be the fortune of the Daying Dynasty.

The original relationship between the emperor and the fortune of the dynasty is that although the emperor can borrow the fortune of the dynasty, he himself is only a temporary carrier of the fortune of the dynasty. It can be regarded as borrowed power and needs to be returned after use.

However, after obtaining the immortal elixir of life technique, Zhao Zhongming did not seem to need to return this borrowed power, but could make it his own forever.

But such an approach certainly cannot be without cost.

After all, if one wants to carry the dynasty's destiny forever with a mortal body, one must pay a huge price.

Lu Chen didn't know what the price was, but he could guess roughly.

That is, Zhao Zhongming should have passed these costs on to his own descendants.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for an emperor who lived for five hundred years to not have even one offspring.

Even about Empress Xiao and his son Zhao Weiyang from ten years ago, no one knew about it except some Jin Ling Tianshi and those in power in the Daying Dynasty.

It's hard not to be suspicious.

Lu Chen felt that the things that Gu Yue Zhenxian had thrown away might be what Zhao Zhongming had "stolen".

The key clue to finding the "alcohol bug" is most likely on Zhao Zhongming.

But even Lu Chen didn't dare to enter the palace easily.

After all, that is the center of a Gu Xiu Dynasty, and no one dares to say how many monsters are hidden in it.

Once Lu Chen went in by himself, there was a high possibility that he would not be able to come out safely.

Therefore, Lu Chen was thinking about how he could enter the palace safely and get close to Zhao Zhongming to explore the secrets.

Bailu Academy, this is the answer Lu Chen found.

If the Wentian Palace is a force independent of the Daying Dynasty.

The Bailu Academy is located between the Wentian Palace and the Daying Dynasty.

More than half of the officials of the Daying Dynasty came from the Bailu Academy.

Directly entering the Daying Dynasty palace to look for clues is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

Because not to mention that he is already at the peak of the third realm, Emperor Daying, Zhao Zhongming.

The many restrictions and monks hidden in the palace alone are enough to prevent most invading enemies from returning.

Even Lu Chen was not sure that he could enter the Daying Palace with ease, so he needed some other means.

First join the Bailu Academy, and then enter the palace of the Daying Dynasty through the academy's relationship.

With the endorsement of the White Deer Academy, his chances of entering the palace are not only greater, but also safer.

Besides, Lu Chen was actually very curious about the cultivation system of Gu cultivators.

He always felt that he might be able to find a way to improve his cultivation potential here.

And the Bailu Academy is the best way for him to get in touch with the world's most advanced martial arts.

"Well, it's almost time for us to get going."

"I think besides us, there should be many people who have the same idea as us. We should be able to meet them there."

"As for those who don't want to take the risk of going to the Imperial City, let them go."

With that, Lu Chen took Shangguan Yunmeng and others out of the inn and headed towards the palace of the Daying Dynasty.

At the same time, in other places in Huaiyang Prefecture, various people chose to go to the imperial city at this time.

Among these people, there were cultivators who originally followed Lu Chen.

The reason why they didn't act together was naturally because they didn't want to attract too much attention.

Similar situations were also happening in other places in the Daying Dynasty.

The cultivators in Zhongzhou who are able to survive now have basically figured out the rules of this True Immortal Trial.

Although they did not obtain as much information as Lu Chen, they could all guess that this 'alcohol bug' must be extraordinary.

Some people thought that this wine worm might be some rare poisonous insect hidden in the deep mountains and forests, so they deliberately went to some dangerous places where few people go.

Some people think that in order to find the wine bug, they must first know what the wine bug is, so they set their sights on the Bailu Academy, hoping to find clues in this regard through the Bailu Academy.

In a sense, Lu Chen is also a member of the second group.
