Chapter 221: White Deer Academy, Gathering in the Imperial City
Yue Ziqi was shocked and angry when he saw Lu Chen suddenly appearing in his spiritual space.
Not to mention how Lu Chen entered his soul.
The fact that he could appear in the Huaiyang Prefecture Demon Suppression Prison without anyone noticing was already frightening.
You must know that the prison of the Demon Suppression Division is the most important place in the Demon Suppression Division, no doubt about it.
Generally speaking, besides the patrol envoys of the three realms and the Golden Order Heavenly Master, there is another powerful figure in the Demon Suppression Division, and that is the warden of the Demon Suppression Division.
Yue Ziqi himself was previously the warden of the Demon Suppression Division.
Therefore, he knew very well how strict the security was in the Demon Suppression Division.
Not to mention an outsider coming in blatantly.
Even if you are just a fly, don't think of flying into the prison of the Demon Suppression Bureau at will.
The fact that Lu Chen could do this was enough to show how terrifying he was.
Although Yue Ziqi didn't know what Lu Chen was going to do.
But his survival instinct told him that this was definitely not a good thing.
Therefore, facing Lu Chen who appeared in his soul space, Yue Ziqi immediately prepared to use all his strength to drive out this uninvited guest.
In the empty and white space, Yue Ziqi used all his strength to activate his own life-defining insect.
The whole person turned into a shadow and instantly came in front of Lu Chen.
Then the spear in his hand glowed with light and he thrust it out.
This seemingly ordinary attack actually contains the special power of the poisonous insect.
I saw a white horse appearing around Yue Ziqi. The horse was majestic and had cold eyes.
Enter the realm of spear intent.
Lu Chen saw the essence of the shot at a glance.
However, just entering the realm of Tao is not enough.
Ding! Just when Yue Ziqi was about to hit the target with his shot, he suddenly stopped with an ugly look on his face.
I saw a golden dragon on Lu Chen's shoulder easily blocking his attack.
The golden dragon's claws grasped the tip of Yue Ziqi's gun.
The huge force coming from above made it difficult for Yue Ziqi to pull back his weapon even if he wanted to.
Looking at Yue Ziqi who was so close, Lu Chen's expression was very calm.
This appearance undoubtedly made Yue Ziqi even more uneasy.
In order to ease the fear in his heart, Yue Ziqi immediately roared angrily, let go of the spear in his hand, and punched Lu Chen in the face.
But before the fist touched Lu Chen, Yue Ziqi felt a sharp pain in his body.
He lowered his head and found that a white spiritual sword had been inserted into his chest at some point.
Logically speaking, the competition in the soul space seems to be similar to reality.
But in essence, it is just a contest of wills between the two sides.
Regardless of winning or losing, the souls of both parties will suffer a certain degree of damage.
After all, spiritual power cannot be used in the soul space. They are just using soul power to simulate spiritual power, so that they can use their own magic skills in reality.
Not to mention that the soul in the spiritual space is said to have no vital points.
As long as there is soul power, the cultivator can be resurrected infinitely in the soul space.
Therefore, the battle of spirit and soul depends not only on the cultivator's means and the strength of his spirit and soul, but also on his own willpower, and it is difficult to rely on external objects.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Some special magical weapons may not be very effective in reality.
But it is completely different in the soul space.
For example, Lu Chen's 'Juetian Sword'.
In reality, Lu Chen’s Juetian Sword is certainly not bad.
But its real horror lies in the soul space.
Because the Juetian Sword is a rare weapon that can directly cause damage to the soul.
In the soul space, the Juetian Sword is not a Taoist weapon, but it is better than a Taoist weapon.
Yue Ziqi looked at the Juetian Sword that was inserted into his chest.
He could clearly feel an intense tearing sensation coming from his chest.
In a trance, Yue Ziqi felt that his life was like a revolving lantern, passing by in front of him.
And these scenes finally stopped at the moment when he was captured by Yuwen Hongguang.
In fact, he had thought about this day as early as ten years ago.
He had also thought that he would die in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division.
But he didn't expect it to be in this way, and he didn't expect to be killed by a stranger like Lu Chen.
At the last moment before his death, Yue Ziqi had only one thought in his mind.
Who was this person who suddenly appeared in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division? Unfortunately, Lu Chen was destined not to give him the answer.
Because in Lu Chen's eyes, Yue Ziqi was just a tool for him to explore the secrets of the Daying Dynasty.
There is no need to explain too much about a tool.
As Yue Ziqi's soul died, Room No. 5 where he was suddenly quieted down.
After an unknown amount of time, Yue Ziqi opened his eyes again.
But this time, Yue Ziqi's eyes were completely different from before, as if he was a different person.
That’s right, Yue Ziqi at this moment is no longer him, but has been replaced by Lu Chen.
Became a carrier of Lu Chen's external incarnation.
And Lu Chen also understood a lot of things with the help of Yue Ziqi's memory.
The reason why Yue Ziqi was captured was related to the fire in Daying Palace ten years ago.
The fire was not a simple accident as rumored by the outside world, but the result of deliberate cause.
Yue Ziqi didn't know who set the fire, but he took advantage of the fire to secretly take two people away.
One is his childhood sweetheart, Empress Xiao Shu, and the other is the crown prince of the current dynasty, Zhao Weiyang.
Before Zhao Weiyang, Emperor Zhao Zhongming of Daying actually had seven other sons.
But without exception, all of these descendants died after reaching a certain age.
Yue Ziqi didn't know about this at first. It was only after Empress Xiao came out that she told him.
The reason why Zhao Zhongming was determined to pursue the incident that year was that he even went so far as to capture a third-level cultivator who was a pillar of the Daying Dynasty.
There must be a reason for protecting their own secrets.
There is no doubt that in Zhao Zhongming's eyes, his own secrets are far more important than those of just a few third-level cultivators.
With the help of Yue Ziqi's memory, Lu Chen vaguely guessed what the secret of Daying Emperor Zhao Zhongming was.
Because in Yue Ziqi's memory, the five-year-old prince who was held in Empress Xiao's arms was very special.
Not only was he born with a strange phenomenon, but his left and right pupils were one white and one purple.
There is even a divine eye between his eyebrows, which is similar to the Cui family's Three Lives Dharma Eye.
No matter how you look at it, that prince doesn't seem like an ordinary person.
Lu Chen had a hunch that Emperor Daying and the Crown Prince Daying were the key to this True Immortal Trial.
Lu Chen also knew where Prince Daying was.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt that his True Immortal Trial this time should be over soon.
But before that, he needs to get rid of the evildoers who have sneaked into this True Immortal Trial.
[Main Quest: Kill the Evildoers (2/10)]
[Task requirements: Please kill the unknown evildoers hidden in the 'True Immortal Trial' five years later]
[Task Reward: 200,000 Experience Points, 2 Random Heavenly Dao Fragments]
[Number of remaining idiots: 13]
Thirteen evildoers, this is the result after Lu Chen killed seven evildoers.
Although Lu Chen didn't know where the remaining thirteen evildoers were.
But it doesn’t matter, Lu Chen will be able to find them all soon.
Maybe Lu Chen doesn't even need to take the initiative to look for them, they will come to him on their own.
Thinking of this, the originally confusing True Immortal Trial gradually became clear in Lu Chen's eyes.
He also gradually understood what the second level of the trial was testing and how to pass it.
If his guess was correct, after this level of trial was over, there wouldn't be many people left in the entire True Immortal Trial.
Daying Dynasty, in an inn in a small town in the south.
"Brother Ye, I know why those people from the Demon Suppression Department didn't let us leave the city. It's because they are investigating the so-called extraterritorial demons and arresting all suspicious people."
After finding out the news, Zhao Liuhuo ran back and said this to his good brother Ye Hao, whom he had just met.
After hearing the news, Ye Hao showed no reaction on his face, but he was very distressed in his heart.
Because it goes without saying that the reason why the Daying Dynasty made such a big fuss must be that someone among their group of trial-takers did something particularly outrageous.
He was also implicated.
Fortunately, he was lucky. Just after entering the Daying Dynasty, he met Zhao Liuhuo, who kindly saved him when he was being chased by a monster.
That’s right, there are also monsters in the Daying Dynasty.
However, these monsters were driven out of the Daying Dynasty, and there was a Demon Suppression Division guarding the dynasty, so they were very rare.
Only in the wild lands outside the Daying Dynasty would large numbers of demons appear.
The Zhao Liuhuo that Ye Hao rescued was the young patriarch of the Yueshan tribe in the wild land.
With the help of the other party, Ye Hao easily got a pass to the Yueshan Tribe.
Furthermore, because of his special skills, he was able to simulate the aura of a Gu cultivator so that he would not be easily seen through.
With these two points, he couldn't be said to be completely safe in the Daying Dynasty, but ordinary investigations would not be difficult for him.
During this period of time, Ye Hao has heard more than once that cultivators from Zhongzhou were captured by the Demon Suppression Division.
The worst ones among them were even captured personally by the patrol envoys of the Demon Suppression Division.
Although Ye Hao was confident that he could escape from the patrol envoy.
But it would be best if you don't meet those guys.
"Brother Ye, these people from the Daying Dynasty should be arresting you, right?"
Just when Ye Hao was lost in thought, Zhao Liuhuo beside him whispered to him.
Hearing this, Ye Hao did not deny it and nodded directly.
"really."
If it were a normal Daying person, after knowing Ye Hao's identity, they would definitely find a way to hand him over to the Daying Dynasty.
But Zhao Liuhuo is not from the Daying Dynasty.
It can even be said that the people in the wild land still have a deep hatred for the Daying Dynasty.
In other words, for nearly five hundred years, Zhao Zhongming had suppressed the barbaric land with force, forcing them to sign a peace treaty with the Daying Dynasty.
Otherwise, the barbarians in this wild land might continue to fight with the Daying Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhao Liuhuo didn't care about Ye Haotian's identity as a demon at all.
He just said this not because he wanted to report Ye Hao, he was just curious.
"Brother Ye, don't worry. As long as you don't expose yourself, we, the Yueshan tribe, will testify for you, and those henchmen of the Demon Suppression Division will not be able to find you."
"Besides, the enemy of our enemy is our friend, isn't he?"
"I have been unhappy with the Daying Dynasty for a long time. I am naturally happy to see anything that can cause trouble for them."
After saying that, Zhao Liuhuo became happy.
If you only look at these, you would think that this is a simple barbarian with no good intentions.
But Ye Hao knew very well that Zhao Liuhuo was just like himself, the kind of guy who looked brainless on the outside but was full of tricks on the inside.
The two of them together are a perfect match.
"Brother Ye, we are about to arrive in the imperial capital. Do you think the two of us can pass the test of the Heavenly Questioning Palace and enter the White Deer Academy?"
"It should be possible. After all, if you and I can't enter the academy, then there should be few people in this world who can enter."
"I think so."
Bailu Academy is an entrance examination held by Wentian Palace every hundred years in the Daying Dynasty.
Those who pass the test can study in the Bailu Academy for a period of time.
If one performs well in academic performance, one may even be able to enter the Wentian Palace one by one.
Therefore, every time the Bailu Academy is open, it is a grand event for the entire Daying Dynasty.
Countless young talents will gather here.
Although the Daying Dynasty was in turmoil during this period, the Daying Dynasty was still the Daying Dynasty, and the Wentian Palace was still the Wentian Palace.
Bailu Academy will not postpone or suspend this academy assessment because of the events of the Daying Dynasty.
The main reason why Ye Hao was so concerned about participating in the assessment of the Bailu Academy was that he felt that the wine worms needed by the Immortal Gu Yue might be in the Bailu Academy, or in the Wentian Palace behind the Bailu Academy.
After all, the wine worms that the immortals want will naturally produce immortal wine.
The only one that can brew immortal wine is Wentian Palace.
In the current situation where there are no clues, Ye Hao instinctively feels that the Bailu Academy and the Wentian Palace are the key to finding the wine bug.
Thinking of this, Ye Hao said with emotion: "It is already July, and the academy assessment will start in August."
"Given the strict curfew now, it looks like it will take us a while to make it to the academy exam."
Zhao Liuhuo on the side nodded and said, "Yes, time is a bit tight, I hope nothing unexpected happens."
"But July is my zodiac month. I think we will be able to have smooth sailing this time. Don't you think so, Brother Ye?"
Hearing this, Ye Hao smiled and said, "July is hot, and August is not bright. According to what you said, how about you change your name to Weiyang next month? This way, everything will go smoothly for you next month."
"Hahaha, forget it then. Otherwise, don't I have to change my name for all twelve months of the year?"
After they finished laughing, they left the inn and started heading towards the imperial city.
And they were not the only ones heading to the imperial city at this time.
Some people were also attracted by the White Deer Academy and set out for the imperial city.
Juechen from Xiaolei Temple, Xing Li from Wushen Mountain, and Yi Hanqing from Qingyun Sect are among them.
After all, Ye Hao was not the only one who guessed that there might be an alcohol bug hiding in Wentian Palace.
Others can guess it as well.
The Bailu Academy is the best way for them to get in touch with the Wentian Palace at this stage.
