Little Mushroom stuck out her tongue at Xu Yang disapprovingly. She was of course aware that Xu Yang's strength was not comparable to her own level, but which girl doesn't want to hear others praising her?

In response to Boss Xu Yang's somewhat unromantic criticism, Little Mushroom deliberately acted angry, but this did not cause any impact on Xu Yang at all.

He did this in order to let the little mushroom consciously help herself grow and improve. After all, following Xu Yang, danger is always around. Without enough safety awareness, she may lose her life in an instant. Xu Yang can protect her for a while, but he cannot protect the little mushroom forever. In the end, she still has to learn to grow up on her own.

"Okay, now that the situation has become clear, I'll leave this guy, Dawn, to you to deal with. Just stand by me and watch and learn."

Xu Yang said this as he touched Little Mushroom's little head lovingly. Even though the girl still tried to break free from Xu Yang's hand, she soon discovered that every move Xu Yang made was irresistible. Even if she secretly released her own power to try to numb Xu Yang's big hand, it didn't work at all.

Even if it was made by Xu Yang, every subtle movement was simply not something that ordinary people could resist.

After receiving Xu Yang's order, Poxiao did not hesitate any further. He immediately turned into a cold light and rushed towards the restless pool of water below.

Almost at the same moment when the breath of dawn fell on the surface of the pool, a huge plant tentacle emerged from the depths of the pool.

Xu Yang frowned slightly and recognized the true identity of the plant at a glance. It turned out to be a giant lotus emerging from the water. There was no doubt that it was also endowed with human soul attributes. It was very similar to the small mushroom in terms of life form.

Poxiao sneered. With her adaptability, there would be no problem in resolving the huge hibiscus branch in front of her.

Two daggers flashing with purple light instantly appeared in her hands. The moment they crossed horizontally, the sharp blades of light flew out immediately.

In just a blink of an eye, he almost cut off Furong, who was attacking him, on the spot. However, this was just an appetizer.

What really shocked Xu Yang and the others was the lotus emerging from the water. The terrifying entangled power revealed after its huge body emerged from the water completely shocked even the boss Xu Yang.

“This is not an ordinary plant at all. The life form should be the same as your little mushroom. It is a mutation effect of the essence of life after being covered by some special power.

I make a bold guess that the vitality of those dark force disciples in robes that we dealt with before, I suspect, was almost all evolved from such means. "

The old emperor fell into deep thought.

The pair of eyebrows between his temples looked slightly gloomy.

"Your Excellency means that those who control the dark forces of the ancient martial arts behind the scenes use this special method to perfectly combine the power of the decaying death aura and the true essence of martial arts, and inject them into the bodies of those disciple war puppets to help them achieve the goal of influencing the disputes among the major forces."

Xu Yang nodded slightly.

“Yes, that’s what I mean.

The guy who was called the master by countless disciples and strong men always hid in the darkness and refused to show up.

According to my judgment, he should be suppressed by some powerful force.

The real secret of this power lies in the purple jade crystal that I have been looking for.

Gathering all the purple jade crystals and releasing the two extremely powerful but opposing power sources sealed inside will surely solve all the mysteries.

But now all of this is just speculation for me. Before I find the complete purple jade crystal, I can't provide any evidence to prove my guess.

But now hiding in the palace, the fake emperor is another important clue for us to get in touch with this mysterious power.

This is also the basic premise for the cooperation between you, Your Majesty, and I.

To be honest, if I hadn't accidentally rescued you, the fake emperor, I would not be interested in the internal affairs of the empire.

But now, the personal grudge between you and the fake emperor has become a key link for me to observe clues of the dark forces, so I have to join this dispute.

Of course, in addition to this most important reason, Long Kun accidentally shattered the Queen's soul essence, and he also needs me, the boss, to come forward to help him compensate the Emperor. Therefore, helping you take back the throne that belongs to you is the easiest way to solve all these troubles."

The old emperor understood Xu Yang's real purpose.

He nodded slightly. Instead of having any other thoughts, he was moved by Xu Yang's frank attitude. After all, as the emperor of a great empire, there were very few people around him who could tell him the truth.

Xu Yang's frank approach made the old emperor feel very comfortable.

“To be honest, if I could choose, I would rather be a warrior who practices diligently, stay away from worldly disputes, and give up the power that controls the fate of an empire.

Imperial power is a complete shackle to me. If I didn't have the crown on my head, I probably wouldn't have been imprisoned for so many years.

At this point, there are only two forces that push me forward: the Queen and responsibility. "

From the conversation, Xu Yang could feel the old emperor's due responsibility as well as the responsibility and emotions as a husband.

There is no doubt that this is a good man of flesh and blood.

If he could really help the old emperor take back everything that belonged to the tower, Xu Yang would have saved billions of people in the vast empire from another perspective.

Even if in the future we can do as the old emperor said and let the people of the entire empire contribute their faith to Xu Yang, there is nothing wrong with that.

Because Xu Yang deserves such honor.

Although Dawn is not good at one-on-one confrontations, the opponent this time is very special. The huge lotus emerging from the water has a rather special life form. As a plant-type powerhouse, it is actually best at sealing and restraining, and its single-target offensive burst capability is not strong.

It is worth mentioning that when facing an opponent with this kind of attributes who is fast and has strong explosive power, Dawn, who is born as an assassin, should be considered the best choice to restrain the opponent.

Therefore, Xu Yang was not worried at all about this battle from the very beginning, which was also the fundamental reason why he sent Dawn to fight the opponent.
