The Strongest Qi Refiner

"...That's right, Dao Rong, you are very good. If you succeed in retrieving the holy fruit during this trip, I will mention you before His Majesty." The Empress said.

"I don't care about credit, I just want to contribute to the Shenhai Dynasty!" Fang Yu said, "Excuse me, Empress, when can I leave?"

"I will come to you again tomorrow, and then I will open the gate to that ancient city for you." The Empress said, "You wait here for me."

"Okay!" Fang Yu replied.

The Empress took a deep look at Fang Yu, and then the phantom began to flicker and gradually dissipate.

When the phantom of the empress completely dissipated, the coercion that belonged to her also disappeared.

"It seems that it has been hidden from the eyes of the empress... Lin batian's mysterious energy is really useful." Fang Yu stood up, thinking.

At this time, his eyes were a little awe-inspiring.

The empress gave him the feeling that she was hiding something deep.

There is nothing abnormal in the eyes, breath, and tone of voice, so I can't explore more.

As for the terrifying phantom behind the empress that Cangyu had mentioned, she couldn't even touch it.

Because, the emperor and empress descended only with a virtual body, not the real body.

However, Fang Yu's current focus is not on the empress.

Holy fruit, ancient city...

These two pieces of information are what he cares most about.

"Two sacred fruits appear at once, which means... only the last sacred fruit is left." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and thought, "The question is... where is the ancient city?"

Judging from the description of the empress, this ancient city should be similar to the existence of ancient ruins.

But the holy fruit has always appeared directly in Yanxia all over the place before, why did it appear in such a place this time?

Also, the holy fruit in the southwest mangrove, the empress said that he wanted others to go.

This candidate is likely to be Cangyu.

After all, the empress wanted to keep Cangyu firmly in the position of crown prince.

"So that's why... I was asked to go to a dangerous place, so I should die there? So as to wipe out a big competitor for Cangyu?" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized.

...

In the deep sea, within the main territory of the Shenhai Dynasty.

In a large hall, the empress sat on a high seat with her eyes closed, motionless.

After a while, she opened her eyes.

"Empress, His Highness Cangyu, I have informed him of the specific matters..." An old voice sounded.

"Okay." The Empress replied.

"Empress, do you want Rongdao to go to that ancient city with the help of the ancient creatures...to kill them?" the old voice asked.

"Not only that, you also have to follow into it." The Empress Dowager said with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "There must be no competitors for the position of crown prince. What I want is to be safe, so...you follow Rongdao into it." , if he is lucky and is not killed by the creatures in the ancient city, then... you can help me erase him."

"In short, Rong Dao must die in that ancient city."

"As for the holy fruit, you bring it out."

"...Empress, if you do this, Your Majesty..." The old voice asked hesitantly.

"The reason why I let Rong Dao enter that ancient city is to avoid being discovered by His Majesty." The Empress said, "As long as I enter that place, Your Majesty will not notice."

"Understood." The old voice replied.

...

"The queen mother asked me to go to the mangrove forest in the southwest region to get the holy fruit!" Cangyu said to Fang Yu through the soul seal with a little excitement.

"Your mother queen also came to see me." Fang Yu said lightly.

"What!?" Cangyu's reaction became even bigger, "You, how could you see her!? She didn't notice..."

"Since I can still chat with you like this, it means she hasn't noticed my disguise." Fang Yu said calmly.

"Her, what did she want you for?" Cang Yu asked.

"Simply put, she came to see me for you," Fang Yu said.

"What do you mean?" Cang Yu asked.

"Because I killed nine princes in a row, your mother thought that I was a threat to compete for the crown prince, so she wanted to send me to a dangerous place and let me die there." Fang Yu said, "I am now His identity is Prince Rongdao, you should be able to understand, right?"

"Understood..." Cangyu replied, "Then you... want to go in?"

"Of course." Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as there is a holy fruit inside, I will go in no matter whether your mother mentions it or not."

"Then what should I do with the sacred fruit I got in the southwest mangrove?" Cang Yu asked again.

"It's useless if you don't gather all six of the holy fruits, so... you can just give your mother back to your mother." Fang Yu said, "As for the one I got in the ancient city... let's talk about it later."

"I'm thinking, what if I go to the mangrove forest... and can't get the holy fruit? There are many princes who will go too..." Cang Yu said worriedly.

"...Your mother has done this for the sake of it, and you are still worrying about such trivial things?" Fang Yu said a little speechlessly.

"How can I not be afraid!? I don't have your strength! If I die, I will really die!" Cangyu was very excited.

"Don't worry, I think your mother has made up her mind to make you the crown prince. Even if you want to commit suicide, she won't let you do so," Fang Yu said.

Hearing what Fang Yu said, Cang Yu recalled what the Empress had said to her before.

Indeed... considering how much the empress valued the position of crown prince, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to commit suicide.

"You said... why does my mother want me to compete for the crown prince? My father was still at the peak, even if I became the crown prince, I would have to wait for a long time before I could sit on the throne..." Cangyu asked again Said.

"Don't you have an answer to this question yourself?" Fang Yu asked.

Cang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He did think about that.

But as soon as this idea appeared, he felt suffocated for a while, and he didn't dare to think deeply!

"What your mother wants to do happens frequently in our human dynasty, so what's the fuss?" Fang Yu said, "I think your Shenhai dynasty was established after imitating our human dynasty?"

"I, I don't think the queen mother would do this, she..." Cangyu's heart was beating violently, and her brain was in chaos.

If the empress really wants to replace the emperor, then he is an extremely crucial pawn.

The problem is, if the empress fails, he will die and be invincible. And after the success of the empress, as a pawn, he also loses its role and is likely to be wiped out!

There is a dead end before and after!

Realizing this made him sweat profusely and panic.

After all, what he cares most about is his life.

"Don't worry, since you have cooperated deeply with me now, I will naturally save your life." Fang Yu said lightly, "But the premise is...you must obey all my orders, if you are not obedient...then you Just fend for yourself."

"I, I see..." Cangyu have other thoughts at this moment? We can only hold on to the last straw!
