Seeking the Way of Immortality

Wu Qiankun temporarily took over the affairs of the empire on behalf of Emperor Wu, which was a very clear signal in itself. No matter how many sons and daughters the contemporary Emperor Wu had, before Wu Qiankun died, he always followed the rule of "establishing the eldest instead of the youngest". Once Wu Qiankun's brothers or uncles were tempted by the position of Emperor Wu, it would be a serious crime of treason.

In the Wutian Empire, where the two ancestors Wu Tian and Wu Di were still alive, no one would have the courage to do so. Even Emperor Wu Qing, who had been at odds with Emperor Wu Qing in recent years, did not dare to challenge the majesty of Emperor Wu Qing in public.

Although Wu Qiankun was not clearly established as the crown prince after entering the East Palace, he already had the rights he should have. His brothers did not dare to jump around at this time, for fear that Wu Qiankun would abuse his power for private purposes and make things difficult for him. But even so, Wu Qiankun was still not idle.

Yang Chenguang of the Yang family was sent by Wu Qiankun to the Ji family to be in charge of all matters related to the mission to the Ji family. When the Ji family went to war with the Wutian Empire, it was Yang Chenguang who led the Yang family's "Red Flame Tiger Corps" to fight against the Ji family. Fortunately, Yang Chenguang was indifferent by nature. Not only did he not fight with the Ji family, but he also forged a very deep friendship.

Wu Qiankun was naturally well aware of this, but the Ji family today is no longer the Ji family of yesterday. In addition, the relationship between the Yang family father and son and Wu Shiba made it the most appropriate thing to send Yang Chenguang to the Ji family.

As for whether this mission to the Ji family was successful or not, it was not something he needed to worry about.

While Yang Chenguang was on a mission to the Ji family, Wu Changhe was on a mission to the Feng family, Wu Yannian was on a mission to the Huang family, and Wu Changnian was on a mission to the Peacock Clan.

What is surprising is that Wu Qiankun actually sent his eighteenth brother Wu Zheng to the North Sea Forest. The entire Phoenix Realm knows about Wu Zheng and Wu Shiba, the fateful enemies, and also knows about the relationship between Wu Zheng and the North Sea Forest. Wu Qiankun's intention of sending Wu Shiba to the North Sea Forest at this time is very obvious.

According to everyone's thinking, with Wu Qiankun's intelligence and character, he would never make such an arrangement, but what is surprising is that Wu Qiankun sent Wu Shiba to the North Sea Forest in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

What is even more surprising is that Wu Shiba agreed without thinking, which not only surprised the civil and military officials of the court, but also Wu Qiankun who gave the order.

Since returning from Jinghuang City, Wu Shiba has been in a bad mood, like a walking corpse. During this period of time, he stayed in his own palace, singing and dancing every day, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, and rarely practicing.

During this period, Emperor Wu Qing had come quietly once. It was unknown what he said, but Wu Shiba's condition did not change at all. After learning about her son's situation, Wu Shiba's mother Yang Zihan sent her men to the Yang family for help several times, but the effect was still not obvious.

During the time when Wu Shiba was drunk and dreaming, Yang Jingshu had been with Wu Shiba, never leaving him, but there was not much pain in her eyes, but there was a touch of indifference.

After Wu Shiba accepted the order to go to the North Sea Forest, Yang Zihan used her power to dispatch dozens of top strongmen to secretly protect Wu Shiba. Not only that, Yang Zihan also asked some old strongmen of the Yang family to guard Wu Shiba, in order to ensure Wu Shiba's safety in the North Sea Forest.

Most people in the Wutian Empire were waiting to see Wu Shiba's joke, but they didn't know that the North Sea Forest did not fluctuate much after receiving the news that the Wutian Empire sent an envoy.

After all, the young generation who are on good terms with Wu Zheng are now cultivating in the Kongxuan Secret Realm. Although the old generation of strong men despise Wu Shiba's character, they will not attack Wu Shiba. As for the old ancestor of the North Sea Forest, he will not take Wu Shiba seriously.

So the dangerous journey that everyone thought was originally passed very safely without causing any waves.

Not only the North Sea Forest, but also the Ji family, the Feng family, the Huang family, and the Peacock Clan did not express much. Regarding the opening of trade proposed by the Wu family envoy, because the two strong men Wu Tian and Wu Di had already negotiated with their respective family strongmen, there were naturally not many waves, but just some details!

This made the big and small forces waiting to see the joke of the Wu Tian Empire confused, and they did not understand what the major forces were selling.

The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. Some people are confused, and naturally there are people who are clear. In fact, the reason is very simple. The major forces that are on good terms with Wu Zheng seem to be closely connected with Wu Zheng, but in fact they are not.

Let's talk about Beihai Forest first. Beihai Forest has always been Wu Zheng's strong support. Even if Wu Zheng's life and death are unknown at this moment, Beihai Forest has not changed at all. The reason is that in addition to the interests, the main reason is that Wu Zheng did not hesitate to help the monsters in Beihai Forest to refine pills.

You know, the monsters in Beihai Forest are not without alchemy, but they are basically one, two or three levels. There is no alchemist like Wu Zheng. Beihai Forest has not thought about asking other human alchemists for help, but no one is willing to help Beihai Forest sincerely.

Because humans and monsters are different!

And Wu Zheng is also the only human alchemist who does not exclude monsters. This is why the monsters in Beihai Forest accept Wu Zheng.

For Wu Zheng, Ying Shisan did not hesitate to apologize to Wu Zheng as the Monster King, and even killed Ying Ming on the spot in exchange for Wu Zheng's forgiveness.

Fortunately, Wu Xueting was not hurt in the Beihai Forest, so Wu Zheng did not punish Ying Ming. Over the years, Ying Ming has been with Wu Zheng and has worked hard, and Wu Zheng is not stingy. In the years that Ying Ming has been with him, not only has his cultivation improved, but his temperament has also changed a lot. He is no longer arrogant and domineering, but more low-key and restrained.

Of course, the reason why Beihai Forest helped Wu Zheng with all its strength does not rule out other reasons.

As for the Huang family, Feng family, and Ji family, to put it bluntly, they are willing to help Wu Zheng only after seeing the changes in Huang Yu.

You know, before Wu Zheng became famous, Huang Yu was just an unknown little character in the Huang family. Even after being bullied by Wu Shiba of the Wu family, no one stood up to seek justice for her. For the peace and stability of the Huang family, even Huang Yu's parents and elders did not dare to speak a fair word.

After Wu Zheng appeared, everything changed. The battle in Kong Xuan Secret Realm caused an uproar in the entire Phoenix world, and the Phoenix family also changed their attitude towards Huang Yu.

Huang Yu's status instantly changed from the ground to the sky, and her parents and elders also benefited greatly from it!
