I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao

"What!"

Zhao Heng and the princess said almost in unison.

The targets of their exploration were not normal humans.

The two hurriedly recounted their explorations in detail.

And confirmed again that Commander Chen Zhong and General Manager Liu were both walking corpses without independent consciousness.

After receiving this news, a chill surged behind the two.

"I suspect this is the corpse refining technique of the Blood Refining Sect." Zhao Heng gave his own inference.

The princess also knew something about the corpse refining technique, and said in a low voice.

"The corpse has no life, and someone must be behind it. Who is the person behind them?"

This is what Zhao Heng was worried about.

He had fought with Chen Zhong before. The other party was extraordinary and had reached the late stage of the Ascension Realm. What was his master's strength? Where was the other party hiding?

More importantly, how did the other party manage to refine the two masters of the Ascension Realm who were guarding Emperor Hao Yuan in the palace into corpses without anyone noticing?

Why did the other party place them beside Emperor Hao Yuan?

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.

Zhao Heng knew that behind this matter, there must be more shocking secrets involved, and the enemy's strength was beyond his expectations.

As the truth gradually came to light, the situation was gradually out of Zhao Heng's control.

At this time, the princess said: "The only thing to be thankful for now is that your identity and mine should not have been exposed.

And the person who controlled Liu Zongguan and Chen Datongling had placed two masters of the Ascension Realm in the palace for so long, and there must be some big plot. Even if there is some precaution in the short term, there should be no action. We still have time."

Zhao Heng nodded and agreed with the princess's statement.

With the other party's control over the palace, they could have taken action against Emperor Hao Yuan, Queen Mu and other royal family members before themselves. The other party has not taken action yet, and there must be something hidden.

Zhao Heng pondered for a moment and said, "That being said, the current situation in the imperial capital is more dangerous than we imagined.

The strength of you and me is too weak, and it is inconvenient for us to show our cultivation. I want to ask for help from the master!"

Realizing the danger of the mission, Zhao Heng decisively chose to call for help. After all, he was just an informant sent by the master.

Protecting Queen Mu was only a side mission. The real purpose was to monitor the imperial capital and guard against the chaos of the magic warriors.

Now that the situation is basically confirmed, Zhao Heng can directly call for help.

Hearing this, the princess nodded and said, "That's great.

But we can't do nothing. If the other party takes action in advance, we must have a response plan."

The two thought for a moment, and Zhao Heng said, "At present, the best way is to transfer the core members of the royal family headed by His Majesty and the Queen first, and wait for the masters of our sect to clear the magic warriors in the imperial capital before returning to the imperial capital."

The princess nodded in agreement, but frowned and said, "This method is indeed feasible, but my father is now obsessed with alchemy and stays in the Zhaixing Tower all day long. He is indifferent to national affairs. It is not easy to get him to leave the imperial capital, and..."

The princess paused slightly and said, "There is still one person we haven't investigated."

"Master Qingqiu!"

Zhao Heng blurted out.

It is said that Emperor Haoyuan was originally a diligent monarch, but ten years ago, after the Taoist priest Youfang with the Taoist name "Qingqiu" arrived.

Emperor Hao Yuan became obsessed with the art of alchemy for longevity, and from then on he was indifferent to all matters of the court, except for this Taoist priest from Qingqiu, who was obedient and spent a huge amount of money to build the Zhaixing Tower.

In order to make the elixir, he also plundered the people's fat and blood, causing public resentment and dissatisfaction among the court officials.

But Emperor Hao Yuan still insisted on his own way and only listened to the words of this Taoist priest.

In comparison, Emperor Hao Yuan's confidant, Chen Zhong, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Liu Xian, the chief eunuch of the palace, were even closer to Emperor Hao Yuan.

If there really was someone who could refine the two into corpses under the eyes of Emperor Hao Yuan and secretly control them.

Then the suspicion of this Taoist priest from Qingqiu was definitely the greatest!

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but be speechless.

This is not a palace at all, it's even more dangerous than the old nest of the demons. Before he arrived at the imperial capital, the enemy had already infiltrated the palace.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Heng said, "If the mastermind behind this is really this Taoist priest from Qingqiu, we want to transfer His Majesty and the Queen, but I'm afraid that not only will we fail, but we will alert the enemy.

Before taking action, we must find out his details. Princess, can you do this?"

The eldest princess heard this, but shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not. This Taoist priest from Qingqiu has been refining pills on the top floor of Zhaixing Tower and rarely shows up. On weekdays, the only person who can see him in the entire palace is my father.

And my father also strictly forbids anyone to step into the top floor of Zhaixing Tower."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng frowned and felt a little embarrassed.

However, the eldest princess seemed to have thought of something.

"Yes, I almost forgot. In ten days, it will be the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony.

At this time, the royal family and the ministers in the court will set up an altar outside the main palace to worship.

Only at this time every year will my father appear in public to complete the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, and even the Taoist priest Qingqiu will appear and preside over the ceremony in person."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng's eyes lit up. As long as Taoist priest Qingqiu appeared in public, they would have a chance to find out where he came from.

However, how to test this person?

The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is solemn and attracts everyone's attention. As a royal princess, the eldest princess naturally cannot approach Taoist priest Qingqiu in public.

Zhao Heng's identity is just the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. Although he also has a sixth-rank official position, he is not even qualified to attend the court.

The two thought for a moment, and the eldest princess suddenly had an idea, "Yes, don't you have another identity?"

Zhao Heng woke up instantly, "Yes, I am now the imperial teacher of the dynasty!"

In order to track down the real murderer and capture the six masters, Zhao Heng pretended to be Hu Feinan and surrendered to the court, but was canonized by Emperor Hao Yuan's personal imperial edict.

As a national guardian, although he has no real power, he is a real first-rank official position, so he is naturally qualified to attend such a ceremony.

"Okay, that's it.

On the day of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, I will test the Taoist priest Qingqiu, so as not to arouse their suspicion. I will not come to the harem these days."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, "I will monitor the situation in the palace, and I will notify you if there is any movement!"

After the two reached an agreement, Zhao Heng did not dare to stay in the palace for a long time. He sneaked out of the palace and returned to his mansion.

In the bedroom of the mansion, Zhao Heng sat cross-legged and reviewed what happened today.

First, in the bath of the eldest princess, the pair of snow-white, plump, round and straight breasts... cough cough!

Zhao Heng's thoughts went astray, and he rethought.

From the suspected identities of "corpse refiners" of Chen Zhong, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, and Liu Xian, the chief steward of the palace, to the speculation that Taoist Qingqiu was most likely the real culprit behind the scenes.

After reviewing the whole thing, the conclusion is that the imperial capital is very dangerous now, especially the palace.

Zhao Heng decided not to go to the inner palace anymore, firstly because he was worried that the other party would see the clues, and secondly to avoid danger.

Although there was a task assigned by his master, Zhao Heng still took saving his life as his first priority.

If the enemy really took action in advance and attacked the palace, and the situation was not good, Zhao Heng would choose to escape without hesitation, after all, he did not owe the royal family any favors.

"On the day of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven, the royal family members and civil and military officials gathered, but I was not worried that they would mess around." Zhao Heng whispered to himself.

Since the other party was hiding so deep in the palace, they were naturally afraid of the seven righteous sects and did not dare to make trouble in the imperial capital.

On the day of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, it was safe to test the Qingqiu Taoist priest.

In addition, he had some secret treasures on him, such as some self-defense treasures given by the leader of the Yaoyue Sect. Zhao Heng thought he had a way to escape and felt at ease.

"Let's ask for help first!"

Zhao Heng immediately took out the communication token that his master had given him before coming to the imperial capital.

The two agreed on a secret code.

Injecting Xuanqi once and activating the waist token means that everything is normal and he is safe.

Injecting twice at a time means that something has been discovered and is being followed up.

Injecting three times at a time means that the traces of the magic warriors have been discovered and a signal for requesting support has been requested.

But Zhao Heng injected Xuanqi "four times" at a time.

It shows that the situation is urgent and important things should be said four times!

If it were not for the fact that he could not expose his cultivation in the Ascension Realm, Zhao Heng would have directly sent a message.

"Master, the situation is a hundred times more dangerous than we imagined. I can't hold on any longer. Please send reinforcements to calm the situation!"
