Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Monk Mingjing rose into the air, with a faint golden color glowing all over his body. From top to bottom, he slapped his palm down again, and his inner energy spurted out.

The surrounding air seemed to be exploded by its tyrannical internal pressure, making a sharp explosion sound.

Xue Haichao also slashed horizontally, meeting Monk Mingjing's attack.

boom!

next moment.

The two collided again.

The violent power suddenly exploded, and the air flow that was created instantly blew away many warriors around the ring, causing considerable casualties.

Xue Haichao took advantage of the force of the collision and retreated ten feet, falling to the edge of the ring.

"Little monk, you win."

Xue Haichao sheathed his sword with a casual attitude, as if he didn't care whether he won or lost the battle.

But many sharp-eyed warriors noticed an abnormal flush on Xue Haichao's face, and his right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

Obviously, Xue Haichao was injured.

"Commander Xue accepts the concession. If the sword in your hand is still the Wanren sword from the past, the loser should be the poor monk."

Monk Mingjing clasped his hands together and looked neither sad nor happy.

"If I lose, I lose. I won't make excuses for my failure."

Xue Haichao didn't seem to care. As he spoke, he held the back of his head with his hands and left the ring.

The slightly older figure seemed a little lonely at this time.

"Won!"

"Master Mingjing is indeed powerful, even Commander Xue was defeated by him."

"With Master Mingjing's talent, he will definitely become an innate grandmaster in the future, take over the banner of the great virtuous saint monk, and lead the new era of Dayan Rivers and Lakes."

The crowd of warriors who were watching didn't care about Xue Haichao's loneliness. They only knew that Monk Mingjing defeated Xue Haichao and reached fifth place on the earth rankings.

at the same time.

The first confrontation between the top players of the new and old generations in Dayan Kingdom ended with the victory of the younger generation.

This means that the younger generation of strong men has officially ascended the ranks of the top strong men in the Great Yan Kingdom, and the old and new generation of strong men have officially entered the alternation stage.

"Congratulations to Master Mingjing for winning this battle. Your Majesty is waiting for your arrival at the palace."

The house eunuch who had been waiting not far from the ring quickly stepped forward.

"good."

Monk Mingjing nodded, with a peaceful and innocent smile on his lips again.

when!

Just when the house eunuch was preparing to take Monk Mingjing to the palace, a rich and melodious bell suddenly rang.

The bells come from the palace, eight times in a row.

Everyone present looked towards the palace. This was the sound of the great bell of the Yan Kingdom offering sacrifices to their ancestors.

The bell rang nine times, and the emperor collapsed.

The bell rang eight times and then collapsed.

When the queen mother or queen dies, the bell for ancestor worship will ring eight times. Emperor Hongguang never established a queen, so there is only one possibility for the bell for ancestor worship to ring.

"The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother!"

Sure enough, a sad cry came from the direction of the palace.

The cry echoed through the palace, then out of the palace, and finally outside the Suzaku Gate.

"The wine in this restaurant is really good."

Chu Chen took the wine flask from Chongyang Taoist's hand and took a long sip, feeling comfortable.

It’s great that the Demon Queen is finally dead.

Taoist Chongyang glanced out the window at the house eunuch who seemed to be kneeling and crying, but could not hide the smile on his face, and then looked at Chu Chen, thoughtfully.

"Little Taoist priest, seeing as you and I are so destined, if you have any questions about martial arts, I can answer them for you."

Chu Chen was in a good mood and thought of giving advice to Chongyang Taoist.

"Thank you, senior."

Taoist Chongyang was immediately overjoyed and quickly asked himself some questions about martial arts.

With Chu Chen's current level of cultivation, there was no difficulty in instructing Taoist Chongyang who was at the peak of the Bone Refining Realm. With just a few words, Taoist Chongyang understood everything.

Chu Chen also playfully mentioned some martial arts theories he had heard in his previous life, which came from a Taoist with the same Taoist name as Chongyang Taoist.

only.

Taoist Chongyang's focus was a little skewed, and his thinking suddenly jumped out of the martial arts theory mentioned by Chu Chen.

"Collect the spiritual light of the sun and moon, gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, draw out the innate energy in the body, and open up the meridians throughout the body?"

Taoist Chongyang's eyes brightened, and he immediately bowed and thanked Chu Chen for his great kindness in preaching.

He said that after today, he would return to the sect, read all the Taoist classics, and use this theory to create a technique.

Before the Chongyang Taoist left, he left behind a jade pendant with the Chinese characters "Chongyang Ninth Festival" engraved on it. It was said that after the martial arts were created, Chu Chen or Chu Chen's descendants could hold this jade pendant and take a look at the martial arts he created. .

Chu Chen looked at the jade pendant in his hand and couldn't laugh or cry.

If Chongyang Taoist really wants to create a martial art based on this theory, it will not be martial arts training, but cultivation of immortality.

He quickly put the matter behind him and did not think that Taoist Chongyang could successfully create the technique.

In comparison, he paid more attention to the news coming from the palace.

When monk Mingjing competed with Xue Haichao, something shocking happened in the palace.

Emperor Hongguang and the Queen Mother were waiting for Monk Mingjing to come and explain Buddhism to them in Yangxin Hall. Unexpectedly, a group of assassins suddenly broke in and wanted to kill the Queen Mother and Emperor Hongguang.

There were so many assassins that the guards of Yangxin Hall were defeated and killed. In the chaos, the Queen Mother was injured by a sword and unfortunately died.

Fortunately, Emperor Hongguang had some foundation in martial arts. He fought with the assassins with a sword and held on until the chief steward of the internal affairs and the inner court guards arrived. He was lucky enough to save his life, but he was seriously injured and fell into coma.

Before Emperor Hongguang fell into coma, he ordered the Chief of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough investigation inside and outside the palace to find out the murderer behind the assassination.

The chief steward of the internal affairs took the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the inside and outside of the palace. Weiyuan Marquis and the Minister of Revenue Lv Qinghou responded actively and provided intelligence. The rebellion was committed by the maternal relative Zhang.

The maternal relative Zhang has controlled the government for a long time, and his ambitions are growing day by day. Under the leadership of Zhang Yunshan, the current head of the Zhang family, they attempted to assassinate the empress dowager and the Hongguang Emperor and replace the Yan royal family.

Zhang Yunshan, Zhang Erhe and other main culprits of the rebellion were killed on the spot, and the rest of the Zhang family were thrown into prison. After being convicted, they were executed in the autumn.

"The superiors are good at planning. This little emperor, oh no, the Hongguang Emperor has been dormant for many years and has good means."

When Chu Chen heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the trick of this assassination. The mastermind behind it is the Hongguang Emperor.

The maternal relative Zhang is the most staunch supporter of the empress dowager. How could he assassinate the empress dowager?

If it is said that the assassination of the Hongguang Emperor makes sense.

Of course, Chu Chen would not be surprised whether the Queen Mother or Emperor Hongguang wins or loses.

But what Chu Chen did not expect was that Marquis Weiyuan and Marquis Lu Qing actually surrendered to Emperor Hongguang.

Back then, the Queen Mother placed many pawns around the third prince, provoked the three princes to fight, and played the three princes in her hands.

In the end, she took advantage of the situation and supported Emperor Hongguang to the throne, and she controlled the government behind the scenes.

Now Emperor Hongguang is better than his teacher. He placed pawns around the Queen Mother early, planned for several years, and took back the power that belonged to him in one fell swoop.

The Queen Mother was not there, the foreign relatives Zhang family was eliminated, and with the cooperation of Marquis Weiyuan and others, no one could stop Emperor Hongguang from taking charge of the court of Dayan.

So far.

Emperor Hongguang has truly become the master of Dayan.

Even though the Dayan Kingdom has long been in pieces, Emperor Hongguang is still the nominal master of Dayan, ruling over the vast territory of Dayan.
