Chapter 371 Lies
In the cabin on the first floor, Queen Xiahou Mi slumped in a chair, her expression stiff, her face ashen, her phoenix crown and bridal robe soaked with cold sweat.
"how so?"
"My foster father is so strong!"
"My foster father is dead, the next one is..."
Xiahou Mi's hair stood on end, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he was in great panic, feeling dispirited and unable to sit still.
"Come here, Princess Xuan Chang..."
Xiahou Mi blurted out, but she immediately added: "No, I'd better go see her."
After a while, Xiahou Mi came to a door.
On the giant ship, there is a room specially built for Ji Yuanwu to retreat.
There are two doors in this room, and a gatekeeper is posted in front of each door.
Xiahou Mi came to the first gate, and the gatekeeper was a middle-aged man.
He has a big build, a square face, big ears, and a beard as black as ink around his lips.
A pair of eyes were as deep as the night sea, emitting a faint blue light.
The man has a bronze complexion, exuding a wild and powerful look.
He was seen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and a machete across his knees, like a metal sculpture.
Xiahou Mi walked up to the man, a look of awe on his face, bowed and said, "Sword Saint, you have worked hard."
The man was none other than the Holy Lord Hengdao.
He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and saluted, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."
Xiahou Mi Lian said: "No need to be polite, I am here to see the princess."
The eldest princess Ji Hongzhen is the gatekeeper of the second gate.
The Sword Master remained motionless, lowering his head and saying, "Empress, the Princess already knows everything that happened outside."
Then he said word by word: "The princess said that now is the critical time for His Majesty to practice in seclusion, and no one is allowed to disturb him."
Xiahou Mi's breath was choked, her face became uglier, and she asked anxiously, "What if Fang Zhixing plots to murder me?"
The Sword Saint remained calm and replied, "As long as the agreement not to fight remains, Fang Zhixing will not dare and cannot harm you."
After hearing this, Xiahou Mi gradually calmed down.
That’s right!
If there had not been an agreement not to fight, Fang Zhixing would have been killed by Ji Yuanwu long ago.
However, the Wu clan ancestor and Master Feilong did not join the agreement not to fight.
Fang Zhixing would be fine even if he killed them.
After thinking for a long time...
Xiahou Mi finally turned and walked away without saying a word, looking as if she had lost her parents and was extremely lost.
After a while, she returned to the room and sat down tiredly.
A maid brought tea and fruit snacks, knelt down respectfully, and presented them to Xiahou Mi.
Xiahou Mi happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
"I'm tired, you all can go down." Xiahou Mi put down the teacup and waved her hand.
The palace maids and eunuchs immediately left.
Xiahou Mi was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he lay down and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly woke up, turned over, and vomited a ball of sticky scarlet liquid.
The smell of blood mixed with the pungent smell of gastric juice filled the air.
Xiahou Mi only felt a chill in her stomach and indescribable discomfort all over her body.
She turned to look at the mirror and was immediately startled.
At this time, her lips were purple, her skin was dull and lifeless, and blood was coming out of all her orifices.
How miserable it is! "Poisoned! I'm poisoned!"
Xiahou Mi was horrified and immediately shouted, "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"
There was dead silence outside the door, no movement at all.
Xiahou Mi's heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to get up and ran to the door.
Suddenly, a figure appeared.
Xiahou Mi's pupils shrank, and he blurted out, "It's you!"
The figure that came into view was Concubine Duanmu Yingxue.
She held a spear in her hand and wore a brightly colored suit of armor.
"You, what are you going to do?" Xiahou Mi's face turned pale and he stepped back repeatedly.
Duanmu Yingxue's face was full of murderous intent, and she said coldly: "The poison you drank was originally reserved for me."
Xiahou Mi couldn't help but said in fear: "Sister Yingxue, you are not unaware of the crime of murdering the queen, right?"
"Damn Queen!"
Duanmu Yingxue smiled contemptuously, "From the moment we left the Great Zhou, I am no longer a concubine, and you are no longer the queen. You and I are just like everyone else, adventurers who are devoted to seeking the truth."
Xiahou Mi was suddenly speechless.
Duanmu Yingxue was murderous, holding up her spear, ready to attack, and said, "If you hadn't forced me so hard and almost killed my father, I wouldn't have come to this point. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
A huge amount of force was poured into the spear.
The spear vibrated and emitted three-colored light, which was magnificent.
Xiahou Mi sucked in a breath of cold air, becoming even more horrified. He reached out to grab the sword and pulled it out.
However! A great feeling of exhaustion and powerlessness came over him! Xiahou Mi was unable to lift his sword.
The next moment, Duanmu Yingxue suddenly burst out, and the spear pointed straight forward.
"Ruyi Qianjun Spear!"
The Duanmu clan's unique skills were fully displayed at this moment.
…
…
Fang Zhixing returned to the room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.
This sleep lasted for two days.
When he woke up, he felt full of energy and all his fatigue was gone.
“You’re awake!”
The dog jumped onto the bed and said cheerfully, "I have good news for you. The queen has died."
Fang Zhixing tilted his head and asked in surprise, "How did he die?"
Xigou replied: "I overheard that the queen may have committed suicide by taking poison."
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but wonder: "Ji Yuanwu is still alive, and I am also bound by the agreement not to fight, so I can't kill her directly. Why would she commit suicide?"
At this point, he suddenly shuddered and laughed, "When dogs bite each other, both get a mouthful of fur."
The thin dog couldn't help rolling his eyes.
He is annoyed by this.
Just curse at the person you want to curse, why mention the dog?
At this time, Fang Zhixing noticed that the system panel had been updated.
【Long Live the Emperor True Dragon Skill·Reverse Hundred Days·Maximum Level Conditions:
1. Kill or defeat 10 beings of the same level (4/10)
2. Collect 1 Nine-Leaf Acacia Flower (Not Completed) 3. Search for 1 Hundred-Day Silkworm Pupa (Not Completed) 4. Obtain 100 Chi-Zhi Bi (Not Completed)]
"Oh, the conditions are revealed!"
Fang Zhixing's eyes lit up and he looked through it carefully.
Condition 1 is a killing mission, and he has already completed 4 of them in advance, namely the black goat kid, the flying dragon master, the witch clan ancestor, and the giant seaweed.
Conditions 2 and 3 are search items, Nine-Leaf Acacia Flower and Hundred-Day Silkworm Pupa, which are things that have never been heard of.
Condition 4 is still searching for the ruler wall.
Coincidentally, Fang Zhixing took out a black bag and poured out a six-foot-long wall.
This was the spoils he looted from the ancestor of the Wu clan.
"receive!"
[4. Obtain 100 Chi-Ji Bi (6/100)]
This is not over yet!
[Great Power Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image·Second Fruit Arhat·Maximum Level Conditions: 1. Convert 3 First Fruit Arhats (Not Completed) 2. Search for 1 Second Fruit Arhat Relic (Not Completed)]
The second Buddhist teaching has also been revealed.
“The road ahead is long and bright.”
Fang Zhixing smiled and felt instantly very happy.
Soon, the Great Black Buddha Mother knocked on the door and came in.
"There is something I need to tell you."
The Great Black Buddha's expression was extremely serious, as if she was deeply troubled.
Fang Zhixing asked calmly, "Why, Ji Yuanwu has come out of seclusion?"
The Great Black Buddha Mother shook her head and said, "No, I estimate that it will take at least another month for him to come out of seclusion."
Fang Zhixing didn't care about it. With his current strength, even if he couldn't defeat Ji Yuanwu, the other party would never be able to kill him.
This is where the confidence comes from.
The Great Black Buddha Mother was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I lied."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "What do you mean by lying?"
The Great Black Buddha Mother took out the Imperial Seal and said carefully: "Actually, I didn't act completely according to your plan. The sea chart I gave to Ji Yuanwu was not half!"
Fang Zhixing remained silent.
I only heard the Great Black Buddha Mother slowly explain: "I made a bold decision and handed the entire sea chart to Ji Yuanwu, but I told him that it was only half."
Fang Zhixing was stunned at first, then he smacked his lips and said, "What is your purpose in doing this?"
The Great Black Buddha Mother took a deep breath and said slowly: "Before going out to sea, I was sure that with our strength, it would be difficult to compete with Ji Yuanwu.
When the voyage was halfway done, I had to hand over the remaining half of the chart.
By that point in time, Ji Yuanwu will no longer need us.
Although we have an agreement not to fight, this does not mean that Ji Yuanwu will not use other methods to kill us.
For example, the ancestor of the Wu clan and the immortal Feilong, they should be the killers specially arranged by Ji Yuanwu.
If we hand over the remaining half of the charts, they will kill us."
Fang Zhixing understood immediately and said thoughtfully, "So you played a trick and simply gave the entire sea chart to Ji Yuanwu and asked him to take us directly to the other side."
The Great Black Buddha nodded and said sadly, "Only in this way will Ji Yuanwu not want to kill us halfway.
Of course, if I had known that you were so powerful, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths."
Fang Zhixing said, "I just made some breakthroughs in my cultivation in the past few days. I wasn't that strong before."
The Great Black Buddha Mother smiled and said, "It doesn't matter anymore. According to the guidance of the sea chart, after we pass the extremely cold ice layer, we can reach another continent in three days."
Fang Zhixing asked: "How many days are left?"
The Great Black Buddha Mother said solemnly: "If everything goes well, it will take at least ten days, or at most a month."
Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, what do you think?"
The Great Black Buddha Mother raised her finger and pointed at the Imperial Seal, and said solemnly: "The sea chart I handed over was slightly tampered with, and the route for the last three days was wrong.
My plan is very simple. In the last three days, we all secretly get off the ship, abandon Ji Yuanwu and others, and fly to that continent first.
As for whether Ji Yuanwu and his team can find that continent, it all depends on their luck."
Fang Zhixing was secretly shocked and had to admit that the Great Black Buddha Mother was quite cunning.
Be bold and careful!
Be in control of your strategy!
Fang Zhixing had nothing to say.
As the days go by...
Thirteen days passed in a flash.
That afternoon, good news suddenly came from the vanguard fleet.
We are out of the ice! The sea ahead is no longer covered by ice, and everyone can finally see the sea again.
The hard days of the icebreakers were finally over! The Royal Fleet rode the wind and waves and advanced into the ice-free sea, and its speed increased a lot.
Seeing this, Mahāhāraṇī and Fang Zhixing looked at each other and understood each other.
Soon, evening arrived.
Sukong, dressed in a black robe, came to the deck alone.
He walked to the stern and pretended to blow the wind.
The sky gradually darkened.
At this moment, there was no one else on the deck except the guards.
Seeing this, Xu Kong immediately set up another teleportation array, connecting to Fang Zhixing's room.
At the same moment! Fang Zhixing, Xigou, Junyao, Dahei Fomu, Mo Shouju and others gathered together and stood on the teleportation array.
It was accompanied by a burst of light that gushed out and then quickly dissipated.
Everyone disappeared from the room and appeared at the stern of the ship the next moment.
Immediately, Xumi clasped his hands together and set up a secret area.
Fang Zhixing and the others immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go!"
Fang Zhixing took out the five-colored auspicious cloud and stood on it.
Everyone followed closely.
The colorful auspicious clouds soared into the sky, first climbing straight up above the clouds, and then rushing away in one direction.
The whole process was silent and orderly, and no one noticed.
Two days passed in a flash.
As the Royal Fleet was marching, it was suddenly attacked by a group of ferocious sea beasts.
As per custom, three eunuchs in purple robes knocked on the doors one by one, holding the fateful dice.
It was at this moment that everyone on the boat discovered that Fang Zhixing and his group were missing.
In an instant, the whole ship was in turmoil and everyone was panicked.
What they didn't know was that Fang Zhixing and the others were flying in another direction and had already gone far away.
Just one day later!
Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed, he looked down and found a ship drifting on the sea.
"There's a boat!"
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but feel excited.
The Great Black Buddha was also moved and said, "It seems we are not in the wrong place. This ship must be from that continent."
Mo Shouju nodded and said, "According to the date, we may be less than 300 miles away from that continent."
Fang Zhixing responded, "Let's go down and take a look."
The colorful auspicious cloud swooped down, quickly approaching the sea surface, and then stopped abruptly, stopping above the ship.
Fang Zhixing and the others took a closer look and couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
The boat was not big and was very simple, just an old fishing boat.
There was a middle-aged man and a teenager on the boat, suspected to be father and son, fiddling with the fishing nets.
Fang Zhixing released his spiritual perception and explored the entire fishing boat. He raised his eyebrows and said, "This boat is very ordinary, but the pilot is a robot."
Everyone looked towards the cab.
Sure enough, there was a robot there, but its body was very shabby, made up of pieces of metal, with wires wrapped around its surface.
This thing is worse than the mechanical toys on Earth.
Its advanced feature is that its head can rotate flexibly, and its face is attached with a plastic face with the appearance of a woman.
Moreover, its mechanical hands can also perform some smooth and complex movements.
There is no problem in controlling the rudder.
Fang Zhixing observed the father and son carefully again.
The father's right arm is a mechanical arm, while the son is made of flesh and blood without any metal parts on his body.
"These two people are just ordinary people..."
Fang Zhixing did not notice any danger and nodded to Xumi.
Xumi understood what he meant and withdrew the secret area.
Colorful auspicious clouds then appeared.
In an instant, colorful light shone in all directions and poured onto the fishing boat.
The father and son on the boat couldn't help but look up...
