That's What Villains Are Like

Chengming Hall.

Emperor Xia, wearing a crown and silk casual clothes, was reading the memorial behind the papers. His face was expressionless, and his eyes seemed to be scanning the memorial, but in fact he was deeply worried.

The atmosphere in the palace was very depressing and dull. All the maids stood with their hands down, not daring to take a breath.

"Your Majesty, Captain Situ You wishes to see you."

Suddenly, a eunuch carrying a golden lantern came forward to report.

Emperor Xia's expressionless face seemed to have a change of mood, and he said calmly, "Xuan."

"His Majesty……"

Soon, a tall man wearing armor, led by several eunuchs, came into the hall and knelt down respectfully across the curtained screen.

It was Situ Ying, the right captain of the Duwei Mansion.

"What were the results of the investigation?"

Emperor Xia glanced at him, and the surrounding eunuchs and maids respectfully stepped back.

Her voice was very calm, but if you listened carefully, you could feel a hint of suppressed sullenness.

Situ Ying did not dare to raise his head. He just lowered his head and said, "Reporting to your majesty, the ministers have already investigated. Those rumors and news are indeed spread secretly, but who is the mastermind needs further investigation..."

During this period, for some unknown reason, rumors suddenly spread in the imperial capital of Jingyang that His Majesty the Xia Emperor was born as a girl.

In just one day, it spread to many places, and the trend is getting worse.

Many princes and nobles have heard such news.

The news quickly reached Emperor Xia's ears, which immediately made her furious. She directly ordered Situ Ying to investigate the matter thoroughly and kill those who spread rumors and shake people's hearts.

Although there were such rumors and news in the imperial capital in the early years, it was because Emperor Xia ignored them later and let them go unchecked.

Coupled with the fact that she had practiced Da Xia's Huangji World-Suppressing Technique, her cultivation gradually advanced, her dragon energy was like an oven, and it was as blazing as the sun, so the matter was settled, and no one doubted anything anymore.

But who would have thought that after so many years, such news would spread again in the imperial capital.

Moreover, this is still when the Southern Hunt is imminent.

The mastermind behind the rumors deliberately spread such rumors, obviously wanting to be detrimental to Emperor Xia and the royal family, intentionally damaging his dragon power, and more likely, wanting to destroy Nan Shou.

"How long will it take to find out the mastermind? It's just such a trivial matter, and we can't even investigate it clearly. What's the use of raising you Royal Forest Guards?"

"I watched helplessly as Xie Jianjia was kidnapped by the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I couldn't do anything."

"Now it's just an investigation of such a small matter, and it needs to be delayed for so long?"

Emperor Xia's voice was slightly low, and he grasped the memorial's jade hand with some force. It was obvious that he had a lot of anger in his heart.

The day before yesterday at court, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian questioned her about Xie Jianjia's whereabouts in front of all the ministers.

It was obviously the Prime Minister's Mansion who robbed Xie Jianjia, but he still pretended to be angry and questioned her to disgust her.

She was furious, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only endure it. She was questioned several times by the Prime Minister in front of the ministers, and her appearance was damaged.

But then someone in the imperial capital deliberately spread the rumor that she was a girl.

Emperor Xia was even more angry, suspecting that the Prime Minister's Office secretly ordered people to spread the news. Apart from the Prime Minister's Office, she could not imagine which force it could be.

Cold sweat appeared on Situ Ying's forehead, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Within three days, I will definitely find the mastermind who spread the rumors."

Emperor Xia looked at him deeply and sighed inwardly.

If the Prime Minister's Mansion was secretly manipulating it, how could Situ Ying be able to investigate it? And even if he investigated it, what would be the use?

"Go down." She waved her hand a little irritably.

Situ Ying then respectfully withdrew.

"Chunlan..."

After Situ Ying retreated, Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and spoke.

The maid holding a sword who had been standing behind her stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"What's the result of the investigation I asked Anhua Pavilion to do?" Emperor Xia asked.

Chunlan responded, "We have some clues, but this matter may have to go through Supervisor Tiansi before we can judge."

"Didn't I remember that Hu Heng had a junior sister? They both came from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and his junior sister is now the commander of Supervisory Sky Division."

"Is there any way he can get things out of his mouth?" Emperor Xia said calmly.

Chunlan thought for a moment and said, "That slave will inform Hu Heng and let him think of a solution."

After saying this, she quickly and respectfully withdrew.

Emperor Xia's white jade hands were stroking the memorial in front of him, and he was lost in thought.

She deliberately tested Jiang Lan's truth, but the news related to him was difficult to find out. It was obviously covered up by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Especially the news about Jiang Lan when he was young was not leaked at all.

She could only rely on her own impressions of Jiang Lan to confirm her guess.

Now that the hunting in the south is about to begin, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian is searching for Jiang Lan with all kinds of treasures from heaven and earth with such great fanfare. Judging from her understanding of the old fox, this move is probably to confuse the public.

The Great Xia Dynasty was located in the central area of ​​Zhongtian State, surrounded by hundreds of countries.

Within the one hundred and eight counties, there are sect forces of various sizes, and these sect forces are controlled by Daxia.

Outside the territory of Daxia, there are many top immortal sects such as Na Taiyi Sect, Yaochi Sect, Mingyuan Sect, Dao Dao Ancient Sect, etc., which are not under the jurisdiction of Daxia at all.

When the Great Xia Dynasty was at its most prosperous, even the leader of the Immortal Sect, Taiyi Sect, had to come to court on time.

However, with the change of dynasties and the decline of national destiny, many immortal sects no longer recognized Daxia, the overlord of Zhongtian State.

Not to mention fear and respect, just not making a few mocking remarks when mentioning it is already considered good.

Even Canglan Sword Sect and Wuji Sword Sect, among the three major sword sects in Daxia territory, seemed to have second thoughts.

Although Emperor Xia wanted to change this situation and let Daxia regain its former glory, the situation in the court was in chaos.

The power of the Prime Minister is unscrupulous, covering the sky with one hand.

His wife was a former saint of the Taiyi Sect. She was backed by the Suiji Li family and had an extremely terrifying background.

The Suiji Li family is one of the oldest families in Zhongtian Prefecture today, and has existed even longer than the Great Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Xia was determined to change everything.

This Southern Hunting Conference against the barbarians in the Southern Wilderness State was an opportunity for her to show off the majesty of the royal family and shock all the immortal sects.

She doesn't allow any mistakes, let alone variables that are beyond her control.

Nowadays, she has clearly investigated the strength of the younger generation of the major families in Daxia, but she has never understood Jiang Lan, the prime minister's son. If you ignore him, he is really a worthless second generation ancestor...

Several days flew by.

The situation in Jingyang City is becoming increasingly chaotic. It seems calm on the surface, but secretly it is turbulent.

The Southern Hunting Conference is coming soon.

Some immortal sects in distant places have also set off, and those who move quickly are already approaching the imperial capital.

Under the strict investigation of Situ Ying, the right captain of the Royal Forest Army, the rumors that Emperor Xia was born as a daughter were gradually suppressed.

Many people who were interested in spreading the news were secretly discovered, and many forces were involved at once, and heads were falling.

For this southern hunt, Emperor Xia made a lot of preparations in advance and took out many treasures from the treasury, including secret scrolls of heavenly skills, spiritual elixirs and Taoist tools, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures as rewards.

During this time, the princes and nobles in the imperial capital were also secretly preparing. The younger generation was gearing up and planning to make a name for themselves at the Southern Hunting Conference to enhance the prestige of Daxia.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jiang Lan also calmed down and did not continue to cause trouble behind his back. Instead, he stayed in the house honestly, practicing step by step according to his parents' wishes during the day, and listening to music at night.

When I have nothing to do, I will tease Li Mengning.

He deliberately asked Song Youwei to recruit people from the Blood Immortal Sect to secretly spread the news and rumors that Emperor Xia was a daughter. Naturally, he was not idle and deliberately disgusted Emperor Xia.

It's about planning an opportunity.

After a few days, he also received a definite reply from Song Youwei.

At Xu time, night began to fall.

As usual, Jiang Lan went to Yuxianfang with a large number of escorting knights, singing sweet songs and sweet songs.

A number of painted boats sailed across the river, looming in the mist, with lanterns hanging in them, brilliant and brilliant, and the singing and singing of birds could be heard.

"Master Jiang, you are here..."

"The private room on the third floor has been reserved for you. Do you want to listen to music today? Or watch a dance?"

"Yan'er, I see you have been delayed in coming, but I miss you very much."

Following his habit these past few days, Jiang Lan came to a luxuriously decorated boat.

A middle-aged woman who smelled of powder, wore heavy makeup, and had half exposed skin had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw him arriving, she came up to him with a smile on her face.

"Old rules."

Jiang Lan casually rewarded a strange spirit stone and asked the guards and knights to wait outside. Then he followed the middle-aged woman to the third floor of the boat.

In the elegant room, clouds and mist were floating, and various spiritual fruit delicacies and drinks were already prepared on jade trays beside the soft cave.

Under the service of several women, Jiang Lan took off his coat and lay down on the couch lazily.

The incense burner on the side also began to light up the curls of green smoke.

Accompanied by the faint fragrance, one of the women squeezed his legs, another rubbed his shoulders, and another peeled various spiritual fruits and melon seeds for him and brought them to his mouth.

Behind the screen, a graceful woman with a graceful figure and a gauze covering her body had a guzheng in front of her. She smiled shyly at him through the screen, then raised her hands lightly and started playing.

His jade hands are slender and white, full of beauty. He gently gathers and slowly twists and lifts, while the guzheng plays lightly, and the sound is moving. Accompanied by the a cappella singing, it is as sweet as the sound of nature.

Jiang Lan's eyes were slightly closed, looking very lazy, and he asked casually, "Yan'er, you once practiced in Huanyin Sect, why did you end up like this, becoming a servant?"

The Huanyin Sect can be regarded as a famous sect with a deep foundation. The disciples of the sect practice music and use music to enter the Tao. They can kill people without being visible while talking and laughing.

"Report to Young Master Jiang..."

The beautiful woman who was playing a cappella paused slightly when she heard this and replied,

"The slave family accidentally broke an elder's Liushuiluoyun Zheng and cannot afford to pay compensation. The parents in the family are old and fought with enemies when they were young. Now the energy and blood are weak and old diseases have recurred. Every month, pills are needed to suppress the injuries. , The slave family also has a younger brother who is practicing in the Sword Sect. The daily spiritual stones required are also a large expense..."

Speaking of this, her eyes became gloomy, and her tone was full of helplessness and bitterness.

"That's really pitiful."

Jiang Lan smiled casually. He had heard this similar rhetoric not just a hundred times, but dozens of times.

This Yuxianfang is a famous wind and snow place in the imperial capital.

The people who come and go are basically high-ranking officials, wealthy young men, and no matter how bad they are, they are also some young talents from the big faction.

Some good-looking female disciples of the Immortal Sect, who cannot survive in the sect, often find other ways to package themselves and come here to fish.

If you are lucky enough to be favored by the young master of a certain family and be taken as a concubine, it will be dozens of times better than living a miserable life in the sect every day.

He hangs around here every day, specially letting this young man named Yan'er play with him, as if he is interested in her.

Seeing that Jiang Lan just asked this question, he closed his eyes and stopped asking.

The woman behind the screen also continued to sing and play a cappella, working very hard.

She had already noticed that the Prince of the Prime Minister's Palace seemed to be somewhat interested in her. He had just begun to ask her about her life experience, and he would also keep her company when he came over in the past few days.

This is the current young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If her senior sisters knew about it, they would not know how envious and jealous they would be.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the mist rises in the river, and the floating boats float by, accompanied by various singing songs, as if they are in heaven and on earth.

At the same time, in the middle of the river.

In one of the paintings boats, in a wing near the east side.

A tall and slender man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sparkling light outside the window, his face as sinking as water.

His hair is tied up, his face is handsome and fair, and his eyes are deep and bright, as if there are stars gathering together. However, at first glance, he looks a little thin, and the wrists carried on his sleeves are much slender than ordinary people.

Wearing a rather elegant brocade robe, a high crown and belt, and a round ancient jade hanging from his waist, he looked like a rich man.

Four figures dressed as guards stood silently behind him, saying nothing, very quiet.

Although there are array soundproofing in the wing, you can still hear some imaginative, lingering and melancholy sounds.

The face of the fair-skinned man became more and more gloomy, and the hands behind his back were clenched tightly. In the end, he could only let out a cold snort from his nose.

"No wonder all the ministers mentioned Yuxianfang with such ambiguous meanings. In the imperial capital of Daxia, at the feet of the emperor, such debauchery has really ruined the majesty and reputation of Daxia..."

The four figures behind him were all silent.

Everyone in the Daxia Emperor's capital knew where Yuxianfang was, but the person in front of them was coming here for the first time, so it was understandable that he would behave like this.

After a while, the fair-skinned man in brocade clothes, who was Emperor Xia in disguise, relaxed a little and calmed down.

"Situ Ying has already made it clear through his investigation that the mastermind behind the secret spread of the news is the Blood Immortal Sect."

"Unknowingly, the people of the Blood Immortal Sect have been dormant in the imperial capital. They dare not show their faces publicly, but they only dare to engage in these conspiracies in secret to disgust me..."

Emperor Xia looked at the boats running parallel to each other opposite, with a hint of coldness in his deep eyes.

After three days, Situ Ying finally found out that the mastermind who had secretly spread the news about her daughter's birth in those days was not the Prime Minister's Mansion as Emperor Xia had suspected before, but the Blood Immortal Sect.

In order not to alert others, Situ Ying just reported the news to her secretly.

To be on the safe side, Emperor Xia used the information and clues obtained by Situ Ying to tell him not to act rashly, but secretly sent another group of people to investigate.

It turns out that there is another mastermind in the Blood Immortal Cult, and his identity is very mysterious. He may be a high-ranking person, and he seems to have sufficient evidence in his hands.

This result shocked Emperor Xia, and then he gradually became restless.

Very few people knew that she was a girl, and the evidence was basically destroyed by her.

How did the Blood Immortal Sect know this and have sufficient evidence?

Regarding this matter, she did not dare to have any contempt or belittlement, and she did not trust Situ Ying and others to investigate.

Even if there is evidence, it can only be in her hands and cannot be seen by others, not even her trusted confidants.

So Emperor Xia decided to take matters into his own hands and follow the clues investigated by Situ Ying and others to see if he could identify the senior person of the Blood Immortal Sect.

According to the information her informants investigated, several remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect gathered here tonight, plotting something unknown.

"There are many people here and the best way is to quietly follow the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect and find their stronghold first..."

Emperor Xia has many treasures on his body, and his own strength has reached the seventh realm many years ago.

It was extremely easy for her to track down the few remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect.

"People from the Blood Immortal Sect have appeared..."

At this time, feeling some inexplicable auras appearing in the boat, Emperor Xia's expression condensed slightly and his deep eyes narrowed slightly.

However, her figure did not make any movement. She was still standing in front of the window with her hands behind her hands. She just moved away with her spiritual thoughts and paid attention to the whereabouts of those figures.

Those figures were dressed the same as ordinary casual cultivators. Under the leadership of the madam of the boat, they walked to one of the private rooms, and then drank and chatted like ordinary people.

If Emperor Xia hadn't been deeply cultivated and powerful, and noticed the abnormal aura on their bodies, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell that these people were from the Blood Immortal Sect.

"The Blood Immortal Cult has become more and more rampant in recent years, and it is not unreasonable. The mere concealment method is not something that ordinary people can detect..."

Emperor Xia's face darkened slightly.

However, she still couldn't hold back and wanted to know what these remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect wanted to do when they appeared here.

At the same time, she was also exploring their cultivation levels. The leader among them had a round waist, broad face, and a somewhat fierce expression. His cultivation level was at the Soul Palace Realm of the Fifth Realm, and the rest were all at the Zhaoyou Realm of the Fourth Realm.

No matter where you are, this power cannot be underestimated.

"Brother, there are so many people here, do you really want to attack that guy?"

In the side room, a man with a sallow complexion spoke and asked the broad-faced man at the head.

"I have been told from above that as long as I can capture him, I will be heavily rewarded and will be given a Six Tribulations Blood Pill. As long as I swallow the Six Tribulations Blood Pill, I will be able to successfully break through the Six Levels of Divine Power..." Yuan The man with the broad waist and face said in a deep voice, his eyes twinkling.

At this time, he seemed to be avoiding something. He took out a blood-colored brocade bag from his arms and took out a somewhat magnificent orb, which was filled with mist.

As his mana poured in, a barrier was immediately formed to prevent anyone from prying.

Emperor Xia was spying on these people with her spiritual mind. She didn't expect them to be so cautious, but with just a flash of golden light in her eyes, a small opening opened in the barrier silently.

"Six Tribulations Blood Pill..."

When the rest of the people in the wing heard this, they couldn't help showing expressions of surprise and envy.

That was the Six Tribulations Blood Pill, which was extremely precious and was refined by the Blood Immortal Sect using a secret method.

As long as you swallow it, you can break through the bottleneck and become a strong man in the six realms, overlooking a county.

"No wonder my eldest brother, who is always cautious, also chooses to take risks. He is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous." One of them said.

These words made Emperor Xia, who had been peeping at the side, slightly startled, and his eyebrows furrowed even more. Are these people from the Blood Immortal Sect going to take action against the Prime Minister's son, that is, Jiang Lan?

Could it be that he is also on this boat?

Emperor Xia was suddenly surprised, and he swept away with his spiritual thoughts to investigate.

Sure enough, in a private room on the third floor, a man in white clothes was found lazily leaning on a soft cave, listening to music and drinking wine.

The last time she saw Jiang Lan was when he was young.

During this time, people were investigating him and saw his portrait with their own eyes, so Jiang Lan was recognized at a glance.

"The situation in Jingyang City is now in chaos, and there is no one around to protect him, yet he still dares to be so arrogant..." Emperor Xia looked around Jiang Lan and did not notice any expert protection.

She thought to herself and sneered, feeling that Jiang Lan was too dismissive and reassured. Did she really think that no one in Jingyang City would dare to take action against him?

This is great, people from the Blood Immortal Cult are eyeing him.

"It doesn't matter, I've already investigated it. The Prime Minister's son will be here at Xu Shi in the past few days. All his men are staying outside the painting boat, with no one around to protect them."

"To be on the safe side, I have determined his living habits and asked you to come here just to succeed in one blow." The broad-faced man said with a cold expression.

"Brother is thoughtful and thoughtful, I admire you." The others admired him one after another and felt relieved.

After all, if they are not completely sure, even the Blood Immortal Sect will not take such a big risk and attack the prime minister's son at will. This is not worth it.

"Brother, do you know why the higher-ups ordered us to arrest the Prime Minister's son? This is Jingyang City, right at the feet of the Emperor. There were plenty of opportunities before, so why take the risk here?" one of them asked in confusion.

"I only know a little bit about this, but I asked an elder and got some information. It seems to be a high-level speculation that this Prime Minister's Prince is probably the one behind the mysterious Naxian Alliance who has been searching for my holy religion in the past few days. people."

"That's why the higher-ups wanted to take this opportunity to test it out personally, so they offered a Six-Tribulation Blood Pill as a reward..." The broad-faced man said in a deep voice with sparkles in his eyes.

"Then the Young Master of the Prime Minister's Office, doesn't he have any cultivation base? How could the higher-ups doubt him?" The man just now was very surprised.

The broad-faced man said, "The top management has locked many targets, and they will test them one by one in the future. This prime minister's son is just one of them."

"The Great Xia Southern Hunt is coming, and the higher-ups intend to sabotage it. If we can find out the people behind the Naxian Alliance in advance, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Emperor Xia's expression became uncertain as he listened to their conversation.

She didn't expect that the Blood Immortal Sect would be so bold and deliberately sabotage Daxia's southern hunt.

Of course, when she learned that the Blood Immortal Cult was deliberately spreading rumors, she had already guessed that the Blood Immortal Cult would probably destroy it, but hearing it with her own ears was another matter.

"The Blood Immortal Sect has begun to pay attention to the Naxian Alliance. During this period, it has indeed aroused its suspicion, but I didn't expect that Jiang Lan would take the blame for me..."

Emperor Xia's eyes narrowed, and the jade hands on his back were pinched together gently.

In the court, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian humiliated her many times, causing her great disgrace.

She naturally hopes that the Blood Immortal Sect will fight with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It's just that the Naxian League was built behind her back. Now the Blood Immortal Sect is looking for the person behind it. If the Naxian League is exposed to the world, it will be even more detrimental to her many subsequent plans.

"Let's wait and see what happens. It just so happens that I have always wanted to test Jiang Lan, and the Blood Immortal Sect has given me a chance." Emperor Xia decided not to take action and wait and see how the situation changes.

At this time, in that wing, several members of the Blood Immortal Cult discussed for a while and quickly decided to take action.

The broad-faced man at the head took out a round pill from the blood-colored brocade bag and crushed it casually.

Suddenly a strange mist floated out, quickly dissipated into the air, and spread along the wing toward the boat outside.

Those people all swallowed a purple pill and sat quietly, waiting for the strange mist to take effect.

The broad-faced man muttered words, and his magic power continued to flow into the orb in front of him, instantly expanding the scope of the barrier to cover the entire boat.

It is difficult for outsiders to notice the abnormality in a short period of time.

"This poison can be dispersed into the spiritual energy, causing the monks to be temporarily paralyzed, unconscious, and left to be slaughtered..."

Emperor Xia noticed that the strange mist was drifting away. She flicked her sleeves and robe, and an invisible wave flew away, isolating all the strange mist from the wing where she was.

And the whole boat outside began to be in chaos with the sound of plopping to the ground.

Many monks and women who had not understood what was happening fell to the ground one after another.

"This is the moment."

Several remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect looked at each other, smiled ferociously, pushed open the door, and strode to the wing room where Jiang Lan was on the third floor.

When Emperor Xia saw this, there was a strange flash in his eyes, but he did not make any move, he just expanded his consciousness and followed him.

The most magnificent and luxurious wing on the third floor was pushed open by several people. A strange fragrance filled the room. A group of charming women had already fainted on the ground, and a man in white also fainted on the soft floor.

Seeing this scene, the smiles on several people's faces became even bigger.

"As expected of my eldest brother, I can easily catch the Prime Minister's son as soon as he shows up." One of them praised, and he immediately recognized the person who was unconscious on the collapse as Jiang Lan.

The broad-faced man at the head sneered and said, "This is the Ten Breath Pour of Fuxiang from my holy religion. It is extremely precious. Although it is not as good as the Three Breath Pour, it is definitely more than enough for use here..."

He was still a little wary, worried that Jiang Lan was protected by other unknown masters, and worried that he had many tricks.

Now I finally feel relieved.

"Be quick and take him away from me." He ordered.

Several people quickly stepped forward, and one of them held out a spiritual rope filled with glow, and was about to tie Jiang Lan's hands and feet.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xia, who had been peeping at this scene with his spiritual consciousness, suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed an interesting curve at the corner of his mouth, "It's just as I expected..."

In the side room, the expected scene of tying up Jiang Lan did not happen.

With a dull scream, the man who came forward with the spirit rope flew out in an instant. His chest collapsed immediately, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth. I don't know how many ribs were broken immediately. There was more air in and less air out. It's impossible to survive.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the others suddenly changed dramatically, and they became cautious and alert, staring intently at the man in white who sat up.

"Who are you? Why did you poison me?"

Jiang Lan sat up from his soft position, patted his robe which was stained with dust, and asked slowly, as if he was not surprised by these people's actions.

"Why are you okay?"

The broad-faced man stared at him in disbelief.

I don't know why Fuxiang Ten Breaths has no effect on him.

"I've encountered many assassinations like this. A poison-proof bead can solve the problem. Why should I get into trouble?" Jiang Lan looked at him with an expression as if he was looking at a fool.

"Poison repellent beads?"

The broad-faced man's expression changed again and again, and he actually forgot about this.

As the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could Jiang Lan lack such a rare treasure?

However, what made him unbelievable the most was Jiang Lan's current strength.

According to rumors, he was a dandy second generation ancestor with no cultivation, but just now he slapped one of his subordinates with four realms of cultivation to death.

"You've been hiding so well. You've been hiding your weakness for so many years, keeping a low profile." The broad-faced man had a sinister look on his face.

Being able to kill a monk in the fourth realm with one palm is enough to show that Jiang Lan's cultivation strength is at least the level of the fourth realm or above, or the fifth realm.

Jiang Lan seemed to sneer and said, "How did you see that I am clumsy? Can't you see what kind of cultivation I have? However, I would like to thank you for helping me verify my current strength, otherwise I would not be able to I don’t even know that I am already so strong..."

Emperor Xia had been paying attention to this scene. When Jiang Lan took action, she had already sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in his body. At most, he had the cultivation level of Qi Nourishing Realm, and maybe even less than that.

In other words, not long after Jiang Lan started practicing in the real sense, she was able to raise her hand to obliterate the monks in the Four Realms. When she first started practicing, she could only do this.

But she had dragon energy and national luck at that time.

"Is the fluctuation of the aura just now really a fairy fetus?"

Emperor Xia's heart sank slightly, knowing where Jiang Lan's strong reliance came from.

There was a strange object in the cave where True Lord Zixia stayed. It was called Immortal Fetal Creation Dew. It had a great connection with the Immortal Phoenix clan, and it must have been obtained by Jiang Lan.

Combined with the fact that during this period, Xiang Guo asked for and found many Phoenix Clan things for him, we can also guess one or two things.

The broad-faced man did not argue and said solemnly, "Sure enough, you are the person behind the establishment of the Naxian Alliance. You are hidden so deeply that you will be captured today."

"Naxian Alliance?"

Jiang Lan was very surprised, then smiled lightly and said, "This is the first time I have heard of this name, but compared to this, I would like to know who sent you?"

"Or is it that Emperor Xia finally lost his patience and wanted to test me?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched the jade hands on his back a little tighter.

She originally wanted to save Jiang Lan. After all, if something happened to him at this critical moment, the Prime Minister's Office would definitely not let it go.

Afterwards, there may be suspicions that the royal family took action. If the Prime Minister's Mansion ignores anything and just flips the table, the situation in Daxia will only become more chaotic, and it will be difficult for her to stabilize the overall situation.

But Jiang Lan's words made her change her mind slightly, and planned to let him suffer a little first.

Even if she was a temptation, she wouldn't be so mean.

The broad-faced man didn't expect Jiang Lan to doubt the royal family, and sneered, "Haha, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. If you are smarter, you can arrest him without hesitation..."

And the moment he finished the word, his figure moved, and a sharp broad knife flashing with green glow appeared in his palm, and with the sound of wind and thunder, it struck directly towards Jiang Lan.

At the same time, several of his men around him saw this and took action, using different weapons one after another.

In an instant, the precious light was brilliant in this elegant room, and a powerful aura overflowed. Even if there was a formation, it was difficult to maintain it, and it exploded immediately.

Emperor Xia narrowed her eyes. She intended to test Jiang Lan's strength, so she took action directly and suppressed the aura fluctuations in this place without revealing it outside the barrier.

"Looking at your appearance, you are quite similar to the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect who assassinated me before."

"I guess Emperor Xia wouldn't be so stupid to test me in this way. It seems that you are members of the Blood Immortal Sect?"

Jiang Lan took action and started fighting with several people. At the same time, the figure tried to rush out of the boat.

"Haha, guess what..."

But the broad-faced man struck with a knife, and the vast sword energy flowed across the sky, like a gorgeous long river, blocking his retreat. It was cold and bone-chilling, and extremely powerful.

Jiang Lan seemed unable to escape, so he could only strike one of them in the chest with his palm, causing him to vomit blood and fly away.

However, the broad-faced man's knife fell on his head and struck behind him. If there was no accident, this knife would cut his back open, leaving him dead or disabled.

boom! ! !

But at this moment, the void blurred for a while, and a hand as white as jade appeared, blocking it, making a sonorous sound like the collision of gold and stone.

There were even fire splashing in the void.

"..."

A man with a fair face appeared there, expressionless, and with a casual palm, the broadsword broke.

The broad-faced man, with a look of disbelief on his face, was shaken away by the terrifying force of the shock. With a muffled groan, the broken blade was inserted into his chest, and he fell to the ground covered in blood.

The rest of the companions also had frightened expressions on their faces. Seeing something bad, they wanted to escape, but Emperor Xia killed them with a few palms and killed them on the spot.

"Who are you?"

After all, the broad-faced man was cultivated in the fifth realm and had strong vitality. He was not dead at this moment. Blood was pouring out of his mouth, and his eyes were full of disbelief and trembling.

Emperor Xia looked at him covered in blood with disgust, wanting to search for his soul.

"Don't even think about it..."
