Chapter 23 – The Mighty Zhao Coronet!
Chapter 23 The Mighty Zhao Coronet!
Whenever the old emperor went mad, it was the best time for law and order in Shengjing City.
The imperial guards and the city guards were killing each other.
Even if a prince or noble committed a crime, the slightest carelessness could lead to death!
Thus, the male lead didn’t even think that someone would sneak up on him!
It was just like how he wanted that dead egg in Zhao Yi’s hands so badly, but didn’t dare to risk his life to steal it from the Sixth Prince’s official residence.
Without the dead egg one could still replace it with something else.
But if the people from the imperial guards and city guards found out that he had sneaked into the prince’s residence.
Then his life would be over!
Coming out of Shengjing City, the male lead rented a horse at the post station outside the city and rode until he reached the western mountains, returned the horse at the post station at the foot of the mountains, and drank a bowl of tea before he headed for the mountains.
Most of the people near the West Mountain believe in Buddhism, and the West Mountain Temple is very influential, and the identity of the male lead’s Buddhist son is revered by many people over here.
Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain.
West Mountain feeds the people of a dozen surrounding villages.
As the hero traveled up the mountain, he saw hunters hunting, woodcutters fetching firewood, medicine farmers picking medicines, and naughty children craving to pick fruit on the mountain.
When these people saw the Lord, they all prostrated themselves by the side of the road and bowed to him with reverent greetings and salutations.
The Lord nodded slightly and smiled as he returned the salute one by one.
The western mountain was steep.
After going halfway up the mountain, there were fewer farmers in the village below the mountain.
The male lead put away the kind smile on his face and buried his head in the mountains with a somber expression!
This time when he entered the city, he could be said to have gained nothing!
Not only did he not get that dead egg, but he almost got himself killed.
“It’s all because of that bitch!”
The male lead had never loathed someone so much in his entire life.
That woman was like his nemesis.
Every time he saw her, nothing good would happen!
The male lead’s face turned blue, and he was thinking in his heart when he suddenly heard a bellowing cry from the pale voice in his head:
“Watch out!”
The male lead froze for a moment.
Before he could react, he saw a cold light flash before his eyes, slicing straight towards his neck!
The male lead’s face suddenly changed!
The speed of this slash was too fast, he couldn’t react at all!
But he wasn’t too worried.
Just as the long knife was about to slice through the male lead’s neck, a hand came after him and flexed his fingers to block the blade, grasping away the sure-fire slash!
The male lead took a few steps back, looking down at his left hand that was constantly trembling, his face filled with fear!
Just now, if it wasn’t for the Rohan Ancestor in the ring’s timely intervention to help him block that knife, he was afraid that his body would have been in a different place by now!
“Damn!”
The male lead jerked his head up and looked towards the person who had sneaked up on him.
At first glance, he froze.
The male lead was stunned, “Your Highness, the Grand Imperial Prince, why is it you?”
Zhao Coronet didn’t answer, but instead looked at the ancient style ring worn on the male lead’s left hand, and his eyes flashed with a reddish-golden luster!
When the male lead saw this, his heart was alerted to the extreme.
He also practiced the Dragon God Technique and knew this technique very well.
The reddish-golden light in Zhao Coronation’s eyes shone, a sign that he was constantly urging the gong method.
He moved to kill!
The male lead’s face was grave as he asked in his mind, “Ancestor, are you alright?”
After a while, the old voice slowly said, “This guy’s strikes were too vicious, the old lineage just rushed out and suffered a small dark loss!”
After the pale voice finished, it sighed with emotion, “The Great Xia Imperial Clan is indeed full of geniuses!”
“The old cassock left a backhand when he helped him eliminate the hidden danger of the demonic power before, and didn’t completely remove the demonic power from its roots!”
“I didn’t expect that not only did he discover Laodian’s backhand, but he also went along with it and utilized Laodian’s backhand to incorporate the Demonic Skill into the Dragon Divine Skill, and now he has already achieved a small success in the Divine Skill!”
“A heavenly wizard, truly a heavenly wizard!”
When the old voice reached the end, its tone unexpectedly carried a hint of fluke, “Fortunately, the children of the Great Xia Imperial Clan generally don’t have long lives, otherwise where else in this world would there be others to live!”
When the male lead heard this, a flash of color flew across his eyes.
He was also of the Great Xia Imperial Clan bloodline, and hearing his ancestor praise the Great Xia Imperial Clan’s children, his heart was honored with it.
However, he didn’t really recognize the ancestor’s last words.
Even if the Da Xia Imperial Clan’s children generally had short lives, there was no one else’s life in this world!
The Grand Xia Imperial Dynasty had already occupied the most fertile land in the world for thousands of years.
The armies of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty had taken what they wanted from the neighboring barbarians.
Cultivation sects have shunned the Grand Xia Imperial Clan.
Did they not want to fight back?
No!
It’s not that they don’t want to resist, it’s that they don’t dare!
The Daxia royal family is not the only one that has gone mad with an old emperor.
Once they were angered, countless madmen poured out, and the mountains of those Immortal Cultivation Sects could be leveled!
The male lead thought in his heart, but his face did not move.
He said with some concern, “Ancestor, you should have told disciple in advance about the matter of leaving a backhand on the Grand Imperial Prince, if the Grand Imperial Prince comes to the door at this time, what should disciple do!”
The old voice was silent for a moment, and still said, “This matter is indeed improperly handled by the old line, in a moment the old line will find a way to stall him, you see the right time to head towards the temple. Nowadays, the Great Xia Dynasty is in a special period, although Zhao Coronet is an imperial son, he definitely wouldn’t dare to kill someone in the temple!”
The male master listened and fell silent.
He didn’t agree, but he didn’t reject either.
“Amitabha.”
The male lead folded his hands and took a step forward, bowing towards Zhao Coronet.
He said with a straight face, “The young monk is also considered to have benefited Your Highness, I wonder why Your Highness is killing the young monk?”
Zhao Coronation’s gaze moved away from the ring in the male lord’s hand and calmly said, “Your secret is that ring, isn’t it? The finger that blocked my royal son just now looked like the Luohan Temple’s Luohan Finger, and inside the ring is someone from the Luohan Temple?”
“Interesting!” The corners of Zhao Coronet’s mouth turned upwards as an odd smile appeared on his face.
“This Emperor remembers that the Western Mountain Temple and the Luohan Temple have always been at odds, and the Buddhist son of the Western Mountain Temple even carries the remnants of the monk of the Luohan Temple with him!”
“If this matter is known to the monks of the Western Mountain Temple, their reaction must be very interesting!”
The male master’s face changed.
He didn’t expect that Luo Han Ancestor had only made a move to block a blade, and that Zhao Coronet had seen all about him!
Was this the strength of a direct descendant of the royal family’s prince?
It was truly terrifying!
The male master was still about to speak when he saw Zhao Coronet’s figure flicker like a red-golden lightning bolt instantly arriving in front of the male master!
The male master was instantly horrified!
It was the first time he had ever seen someone perform the Dragon God Technique at full strength.
The hegemony and subtlety of this gong method instantly left an extremely deep impression on him!
What amazed the male lead the most was that there was actually a sense between the practitioners of the Dragon God Technique.
When Zhao Coronation was running the Dragon God Technique with all his might, the hidden Dragon God Technique true qi in his body unexpectedly stirred up!
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was worried about being exposed and didn’t dare to cultivate on weekdays, so much so that the Dragon God Technique had a shallow foundation and a scarce amount of true qi.
The moment Zhao Coronation struck just now, he would have directly revealed his original form!
Before the male lead could breathe a sigh of relief, the reddish-golden figure had already arrived in front of him.
The male lead’s heart instantly lifted!
