Chapter 15 True Dragon Qi
Zhou An came to the Taizu Temple outside the city to sign in, but unfortunately he only got the Taizu's scriptures. Jiang Xian was a cunning and scheming man, and he really didn't believe the sword-controlling formula he was asked to recite.
Unfortunately, the sword-controlling technique that I am looking for is not available here, so I can only ask Jiang Xian to write down the sword-controlling method and then take him into the Qiankun Underground Palace.
Jiang Xian knew it as soon as he came here. When he saw the Queen Mother turned into a ghost, he laughed at himself and said nothing more.
Zhou An took off the mask. Jiang Xian was shocked when he saw it and shouted, "Impossible! No matter how deep you hide, you can't have such terrifying internal strength!"
Zhou An ignored him and said to the Grand Concubine: "The Queen Mother is dead, but she is still the Queen Mother, and you are also the imperial concubine of the royal family. For the sake of the royal family's reputation, I will bury the Queen Mother with honor. I will leave Jiang Xian to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. We are satisfied knowing that our enemy is dead and that we were able to kill the traitor Jiang Xian with our own hands." The Grand Empress Dowager and several female ghosts knelt in gratitude.
They all pounced on Jiang Xian, sucked all his energy out of him, and tore his soul apart.
Their wish had been fulfilled, and the formation here had been broken. These female ghosts knelt down to thank Zhou An, and suddenly they became at a loss as to what to do in the future. If they continued to be ghosts here, they would probably become depressed one day.
"You stay here for now and guard the entrance to the tunnel. Don't let outsiders get close. When I get the ghost cultivation method, you can practice. Whether you can become a ghost immortal depends on you."
These people were happy and bowed to express their gratitude.
He changed into the imperial robe and walked to the stone bed in the underground palace, where Sainaimu was still lying there, sound asleep.
Zhou An stood at the head of the bed and woke her up. Sai Naimu slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhou An calling him "Your Majesty". She suddenly remembered her mission, sat up in shock, and was about to pull Zhou An away.
I told her the situation, but of course I wouldn't tell her that I was the mysterious master.
Sai Naimu showed a surprised expression, and his face became complicated. He didn't expect that the final development would be like this.
"Now you can choose to stay with me or go back to the Hundred Witches Kingdom. If you choose to go back, this bag of gold will be your travel expenses." Zhou An said, placing the bag of gold prepared by the Sixth Prince on the table.
Sai Naimu gritted his teeth, knelt in front of Zhou An and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go back to Baiwu Country. My people need me. Even if I die, I hope to die in my homeland."
Zhou An was a little reluctant, but he still respected her choice and nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. Now that Qianjing has been unblocked, you can leave at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After thanking him, Sai Naimu picked up the gold on the table and left.
When they reached the door, Zhou An said, "I will let Zhou Di handle the Western Region voodoo affairs. What Zhou Di promised you, I can also promise you. If there is really no other way, the Hundred Witches Kingdom will be allowed to join the Qianyuan Empire. However, they will need to be quarantined to make sure they are not infected before they can enter the country."
When Sai Naimu heard this, he suddenly stopped, turned around and shed tears of excitement, looking at Zhou An with surprise.
Zhou An smiled and said, "You have feelings for me, so I will not be unfaithful to you. I don't want to keep you because I know we will meet again. The Hundred Witches Kingdom also needs you, so go ahead."
"Your Majesty will always be the only man in Sai Naimu's heart." Sai Naimu saluted him again, turned around and left with gratitude.
After watching Sai Naimu leave, Zhou An brought Jiang Xian's body back to the palace and dumped it next to Yongshou Palace. Someone would deal with it when the time comes.
At this moment, the Sixth Prince was still standing here. The Royal Guards protected the Sixth Prince in the middle. The remaining thirty or so top masters of the Purple Guards were guarding beside the Queen Mother's body. Both sides didn't know what to do.
Both sides were leaderless. When they saw the emperor coming, Commander Pang reacted the fastest. He was the first to kneel down and salute, and all the guards knelt down immediately.
"Everyone, get up." Zhou An asked the Purple Guards, "The Queen Mother is dead. I will bury her with honor and follow the Emperor. You are still Purple Guards."
The purple guards looked at each other, and then purple guard No. 1 immediately knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, we are willing to obey your orders."
"Well, notify the Blue-Uniform Guards and the Black-Uniform Guards. Those who are willing to follow this emperor should report to the West Palace. Those who are unwilling should disperse. From now on, they are not allowed to call themselves the Blue-Uniform Guards or the Black-Uniform Guards. Those who violate this will be killed without mercy." Zhou An said.
"Understood." The Purple Guards took the order and immediately made the contact. They had their own contact methods and were the best candidates for Zhao'an.
Then Zhou An looked at the Sixth Prince and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, it was you who arranged Sai Naimu."
Zhou Di sighed and said, "I hope the emperor can be a truly wise ruler. I will leave it to you to deal with me."
Zhou An laughed and said, "I know the secret order that Sixth Brother gave to Sai Naimu. Since Sixth Brother cares about the brotherhood, as a younger brother, I will naturally not be heartless and unrighteous. Zhou Di will obey your order."
Zhou Di was surprised and immediately knelt down. Zhou An said, "From today on, Zhou Di will take over the position of Left Prime Minister and handle state affairs on behalf of the emperor."
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Di was surprised. The position of Left Prime Minister was second only to the Emperor, and he was also responsible for handling state affairs on behalf of the Emperor. This meant that all the power was given to him. This was really unbelievable for him.
Zhou An smiled and said, "I remember when you were young, you talked about your ambitions. You said that if you were to become prime minister, you would make Qianyuan more prosperous. I hope you are not just talking nonsense, otherwise I will sentence you to the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Zhou Di was so excited that he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhou An helped him up and whispered, "Privately, we should still call each other brothers. I will find a way to find the other brothers. We brothers will protect Qianyuan together."
Zhou Di was overjoyed and nodded heavily. Zhou An turned around, stretched, and said, "Lord Zuo Xiang, this battle will surely make the court panic. You will be a little busy."
"I obey your command." Zhou Di left with an excited look on his face, forgetting the pain from his injuries.
"Commander Pang."
As soon as Zhou An called out, he immediately knelt down and shouted, "I am the guilty minister."
"You followed the Left Prime Minister in the rebellion this time, so your entire family should be exterminated. However, considering your years of hard work, I will not hold your family members responsible. You can choose one."
Zhou An waved his hand, and the purple-robed guard took out two items, a sword and a bottle of poisoned wine.
When Commander Pang saw this, his face turned pale. After hesitating, he knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He stood up and walked towards the Purple Guards, his steps were slow. Being in his prime, he looked like a candle in the wind.
Finally, he chose a cup of poisoned wine, laughed a few times, raised his head and drank it. Not long after, he fell down, and black blood flowed from his mouth.
Zhou An waved his hand and had Commander Pang's body taken out, then said: "The chief criminal is dead, your crimes will be recorded for the time being. The Imperial Guards suffered heavy casualties in this battle, so we need to re-elect the commander of the Imperial Guards and keep an eye on the civil and military officials in the court. Anyone who dares to have evil thoughts at this time will be punished even more severely."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me." All the guards around knelt down to express their gratitude, feeling relieved.
"Your Majesty, does the Yongshou Palace need to be renovated and rebuilt?" asked No. 1 in purple.
"Keep it and erect a stone tablet to warn future generations." After Zhou An said this, he walked towards the West Palace.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou An first signed in at each palace in the West Palace and lit up the map.
The things here are much better, either secret manuals or weapons, or elixirs related to cultivation, and I gained a lot.
Now his speed is much faster than before. It only takes him one hour to sign in the entire West Palace. The final reward he gets is the Qiankun Step, which is also the unique step of the Qianyuan royal family.
It is a martial art created by Emperor Taizu by combining the strengths of hundreds of schools, integrating lightness skills and footwork, and combining them with the vast Qiankun Jue.
As the West Palace map lit up, golden light emerged from the palace on the Mountain, River and State Map. Then the system prompted that the entire palace map lit up and the True Dragon Qi was rewarded.
Instantly, a golden dragon appeared and circled in the system space. The system introduced that the true dragon spirit was the power of the emperor's luck that only the true emperor could possess.
Only the founding emperors of each dynasty possess it, and later generations cannot inherit it. Because of this, the true dragon energy is even more precious. Moreover, those who possess the true dragon energy have the luck of an emperor, can easily get help from external forces, and are more likely to win people's hearts.
In cultivation, one will be blessed with the natural dragon energy, and the speed will be much faster than that of ordinary people.
After reading it, Zhou An rubbed his hands, his face full of joy, and couldn't wait to use the true dragon energy.
Suddenly, golden light burst out from his body, penetrated through the clouds in the sky, and turned into a golden dragon that fell from the sky and rushed into Zhou An's body.
The golden dragon entered his body. Without taking any pills to enhance his internal strength, he felt a sense of expansion all over his body. It seemed to be a more mysterious feeling. He didn't know how to describe it. Invisibly, he had a new understanding of the vast Qiankun Jue, Qianyang Tiangang Fist, Qiankun Step, and Emperor's Sword Technique.
He immediately sat down on the spot, with a golden dragon circling around him. In just one minute, the golden dragon disappeared into his body, and the Vast Universe Art reached the highest ninth level in one breath. His internal strength reached a terrifying 180 years, which was already the limit for mortals, and his cultivation had reached the tenth level of the acquired realm.
He stood up and took a deep breath, feeling the tremendous internal strength in his body.
At this moment, sensing someone approaching, he stopped practicing and stood up. Soon, all the Purple Guards, as well as several commanders of the Black Guards and the Green Guards arrived.
They felt that this puppet emperor was not simple. What Jinlong and the others had just seen was definitely related to the emperor in front of them, which made them inexplicably have a strong desire to submit.
After staying in organizations like Xuanyiwei and Qingyiwei for a long time, they knew that if they chose to leave, they would know too many secrets and would most likely be killed.
