At the beginning, he had a very high level of understanding, and quietly cultivated himself to becom

"Why did Yinghuai have a conflict with the empress?"

After Ren Xiaoyao heard the news.

He also frowned.

Yinghuai has been an official for thirty years and is well versed in the ways of being an official. Naturally, he understands the truth that the scales of a dragon are inverse and those who touch them will die.

So why did Yinghuai offend the empress so much?

"I don't know that."

The Demon Lord shook his head and said.

"I sneaked into the palace, coming and going in a hurry, and the empress' eyes and ears were everywhere, so naturally I didn't dare to explore too much."

Ren Xiaoyao was quite curious when he heard this. He looked at the Demon Lord and said, "Why did you sneak into the palace?"

The Demon Lord chuckled and explained.

"Master, the medicinal materials you need are extremely rare and cannot be found in any outside medicinal shop. Even if you are lucky enough to get them together, you will need to spend thousands of gold to buy them, which is not cost-effective at all."

"Then I thought about it and simply sneaked into the medical room in the palace. I will get you whatever you want. Moreover, the quality of the medicinal materials in the medical room is far better than that in the outside world."

Hear this.

Ren Xiaoyao only found it interesting, said.

"You are quite talented, but if you sneak into the palace to steal, if your identity is exposed, the gain will outweigh the loss."

"Foolproof!"

The Demon Lord shook his head and smiled rather proudly.

"I have a sworn brother, the Thief Saint Bai Yutang. He is a talented person and speaks well. His Qinggong is at the pinnacle. Entering and leaving the palace is like entering a deserted place."

"I studied Qinggong with him for a while, and I imitated his style when I stole. Even if there are clues found, the court will only think that another thief is coming, and they will not suspect me!"

When Ren Xiaoyao heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "The Thief Saint is lucky to have you as his brother. Don't treat him badly in the future."

Subsequently.

After Ren Xiaoyao accepted all the medicinal materials brought by the Demon Lord.

He also changed the topic and spoke.

"This Yinghuai is very kind to me. According to you, the empress should take action against him. You go to protect him for a while. Remember to ensure the safety of Yinghuai's life."

The Demon Lord takes command.

Leaving Fulong Mountain in a hurry.

in the room.

Ren Xiaoyao started refining the elixir.

The elixir he wants to refine is called Qi Gathering Pill. As the name suggests, it is an elixir that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Follow the guidance in your mind.

The method of alchemy is extremely complicated.

If a novice wants to successfully refine elixirs.

It requires at least hundreds of failures, and even if it succeeds by chance, the quality of the successfully refined elixir will not be too high.

even.

Even the alchemy master.

Refining the elixir ten times also failed three or four times.

The way to make alchemy is too difficult.

after all.

Cultivation of immortality is to go against heaven.

And elixirs can help cultivators save a lot of time in hard work.

In a sense, this is taking away one's life from heaven.

Therefore, the path to alchemy is difficult to achieve.

But Ren Xiaoyao really took advantage of it.

But he discovered that that was not the case at all.

Maybe it's because of my incomprehensible understanding.

Ren Xiaoyao only felt that making alchemy was as simple as eating and drinking.

He turned his spiritual power into a cauldron.

Putting in various medicinal materials according to his own understanding, Ren Xiaoyao refined hundreds of Qi Gathering Pills in just one night.

The elixir is made.

The tangy fragrance is refreshing.

Ren Xiaoyao immediately swallowed a Qi Gathering Pill.

The rich spiritual energy was transformed into Ren Xiaoyao's body. Just a single Qi Gathering Pill saved Ren Xiaoyao several days of hard training.

However, Ren Xiaoyao did not swallow hundreds of Qi Gathering Pills at once.

Because according to the guidance in my mind.

In addition to spiritual energy, the Qi Gathering Pill also contains poisonous residues. Taking a small amount is not harmful, but if taken in large amounts, it will cause backlash in practice.

Therefore, it is necessary to take the Qi Gathering Pill in small amounts and multiple times.

but.

This also made Ren Xiaoyao very satisfied.

After all, this Qi Gathering Pill can save him a lot of time in hard training, making Ren Xiaoyao's cultivation faster.

He is expected to achieve the sixth level of Taoism before he is eighteen years old.

Ren Xiaoyao was naturally in a happy mood.

Now I am only at the fifth level of Dao Realm.

But looking at the entire Daqian, there is no opponent.

But compared to the masters in Qianqiu Pavilion.

Which one is strong and which one is weak.

It's hard for Ren Xiaoyao to comment.

But if you enter the sixth level of the Tao realm.

Qianqiu Pavilion Ren Xiaoyao may not take it seriously.

…

In the palace.

The empress was wearing a golden dragon robe. Her whole body was trembling with extreme anger, and her entire face was distorted.

"How dare this ignorant Yinghuai offend me? The crime of deceiving the emperor, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor. No matter which dynasty it is placed in, the nine tribes will be punished!"

The empress' voice was filled with overwhelming anger.

Phoenix was so scared when he saw this scene that he trembled all over and quickly agreed.

"This Yinghuai is indeed ungrateful. Since he has guessed that extracting the original essence and blood of the people is your tacit approval, he should stop here and stop interfering. But he wants to break up with you. I think he is crazy. "

The empress also said in a deep voice.

"Hmph! For a minister, the most important thing is to be loyal to the emperor, not to deceive the emperor for the sake of the common people! Since I can promote his heroic spirit with one hand, I can also destroy him with one hand. Since this heroic spirit wants to die, I It will help him!"

After hearing what the empress said, Phoenix hurriedly said.

"In that case, I will lead the shadow guards to secretly eliminate Ying Huai? Although Chaotian Pavilion has some masters, they are far from being comparable to the current shadow guards. I only need an incense stick of time to take off Ying Huai's head!"

"No!"

After hearing what Phoenix said, the empress shook her head and said.

"I can't monopolize the benefits, and I can't bear all the bad things alone. It's time to let the old bones of the royal family move!"

"Your Majesty, do you mean to let the old princes of the royal family take action?"

Phoenix asked.

The empress smiled coldly and said.

These old bones of the royal family are the biggest beneficiaries of what I did. If Ying Huai wants to expose this matter, these old guys should take the lead!"

"That's right! "

Phoenix nodded and smiled.

"And Ying Huai and Li Chunfeng have a special relationship, and Li Chunfeng is suspected to be at the level of Martial Saint. If we get rid of Ying Huai, Li Chunfeng might be angry with us, but if Ying Huai dies at the hands of the old princes, it has nothing to do with us."

The empress nodded, a gloom flashed in her eyes, and she said faintly.

"After a while, I want to see if this Martial Saint is still qualified to make me afraid!"

...

In the second half of the night.

The Demon Lord had just been dormant in Chaotian Pavilion.

It was discovered.

A carriage hurriedly left Chaotian Pavilion.

And the person in the carriage.

Naturally, it was Ying Huai.

"This Ying Huai is an old fox. Knowing that the empress would do something bad to him, he chose to flee overnight! "

Seeing this scene, the Demon Lord also laughed.

But the Demon Lord was a little puzzled.

The Empress's eyes and ears are everywhere.

Where can Ying Huai escape to?

The Demon Lord quietly followed Ying Huai.

...

At the same time.

In the Imperial Observatory.

Ren Xiaoyao was originally digesting the poison in the Qi Gathering Pill.

Suddenly.

Text information also appeared in front of him.

[It is detected that Ying Huai is in a deadly situation. Because Ying Huai was your protector when you were weak, you have the following choices.]

[One, ignore it, you can avoid entering the vortex of the fight between Ying Huai and the Empress. After Ying Huai dies, you can get a reward: a painting.]

[Two, help him. After successfully saving Ying Huai, you can get martial arts: Zhiyang Divine Art.]

Seeing this line Text.

Ren Xiaoyao did not hesitate.

He put on a ghost mask.

His figure immediately disappeared from the Imperial Observatory.

...

After Ying Huai left the city gate, he dismissed the servants who drove the carriage and drove the carriage alone into the darkness.

At this time.

The Demon Lord also discovered.

There were several figures quietly following Ying Huai.

The Demon Lord knew in his heart.

These were the spies of the Empress.

It seemed that the Empress did not intend to let Ying Huai go.

Originally.

The Demon Lord did not care about these following figures.

He thought that these people could break through the sky, which meant that they were warriors at the super-grade master level.

But as the Demon Lord perceived, he found something wrong. The true essence contained in these figures seemed to be stronger than his own!

"Heavenly Realm!"

"Top Heavenly Realm! "

The Demon Lord was shocked.

He didn't expect that.

The Queen actually sent several top-level Heavenly Realm warriors to hunt down Ying Huai!

"What did Ying Huai do? To make the Queen use such a lineup, could it be that he violated the Heavenly Law?"

The Demon Lord felt his scalp tingling for a moment.

He could feel it.

The few people following.

The terrifying true energy emanating from them far surpassed himself. If they fought, the Demon Lord would not be the opponent of any of them!

"What should I do?"

The Demon Lord became anxious.

After all, Ren Xiaoyao's mission to him was to protect Ying Huai, but in this case, it was almost impossible for the Demon Lord to protect Ying Huai!

It was at this time.

Ying Huai's carriage stopped, and he seemed to have a feeling. He looked into the darkness and said.

"Everyone, this place is already deserted. If you want to kill me secretly, you can do it. "

The next moment.

Five figures appeared in the void.

One of them was the shadow guard leader Phoenix.

When Ying Huai saw the other four figures, he also widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Prince He, Prince Shuo, Prince Li, Prince Fu, how could it be you? Weren't you beheaded by the empress for rebellion?"

When Ying Huai saw the four princes, his face became extremely ugly.

Because fifteen years ago, these four princes failed in their rebellion and were later captured and beheaded by the empress. Logically, they should have been dead, so how could they appear here?

"Hehe."

After hearing what Ying Huai said, Phoenix also smiled coldly and said.

"The four princes were in the realm of real people back then. They sincerely repented and were willing to follow His Majesty. His Majesty naturally gave them a way out, and His Majesty also gave them the opportunity to help them complete the transition from the realm of true essence to the realm of heaven and man. "

But Ying Huai laughed sarcastically after hearing this.

"What opportunity? It's just a breakthrough at the cost of the lives of the common people. Such a magic method is worthy of being called an opportunity!"

But Phoenix didn't take it seriously after hearing this.

"A man who knows the times is a hero! We are not as noble as you, Ying Ge Lao. For the sake of the common people, you actually disobeyed His Majesty. You are courting death!"

Then.

Phoenix was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ying Huai and said.

"Sir Ying, we know that the reason you came to the wilderness is not to escape, but not to implicate other people around you. In this case, we will give you a simple one!"

Then.

Phoenix also looked at the four princes behind him and said, "Four old princes, His Majesty's intention is to let you take action. After all, if Ying Huai exposes everyone's secrets, you will be hit the hardest!"

"Okay!"

The four princes looked indifferent, just nodded, and then all four of them raised their swords and pointed them at Ying Huai.

The next moment.

The sword energy fell!

Ying Huai was about to be cut into pieces!

The Demon Lord wanted to stop it, but he couldn't stop the four top heavenly beings from joining forces. If he was exposed, he would only make a meaningless sacrifice!

Ying Huai was extremely disdainful.

If he was afraid of death.

He wouldn't have argued with the empress.

He died for the justice in his heart.

What was there to fear?

But just when Ying Huai was ready to die.

In the sky.

A playful laugh came.

Then.

A strong wind broke through the sky.

It seemed to split the whole world in half.

The terrifying momentum.

Instantly broke the killing power of the four princes in the heavenly realm.

Then.

Above the sky.

A figure wearing a ghost mask.

Walked towards the crowd slowly.

He walked very slowly.

But.

Every step he took.

Made everyone present.

Feel unprecedented heaviness.

That was an invincible momentum!
