Chapter 317 Finding His Majesty the Emperor

Just after hearing the beginning, Lu Qing frowned tightly.

The royal family is actually inextricably linked with Faceless?

Continue to listen carefully, only to hear Li Wenchang say:

"...The matter has come to a critical point, don't provoke the Lu family any more."

"I see."

Seeing that Zhao Guangxin was still gritted his teeth, Li Wenchang sighed and said, "Be patient, and when His Majesty succeeds, everything can be settled."

His Majesty succeeded?

What is Emperor Yan going to do?

"Unfortunately, the three Heavenly Thunder Trees were finally taken away by the Lu family four years ago. Otherwise, they would have been collected last year!"

"Is it ready now?"

"Done."

Heaven Thunder Shenmu? What Yanhuang Li Shiwen is going to do has something to do with Tianlei Shenmu? And from what it means, this plan is not just three to five years, and the collection is not just as simple as a few pieces of Heavenly Thunder God Wood.

As soon as this statement came out, it was basically confirmed that the attack on the Lu family four years ago was inseparably related to the royal family and the Zhao family, and the imperial court was indeed behind the faceless meeting.

But the question is, why does Emperor Yan want so many Heavenly Thunder God Trees?

Eh? Emperor Yan seems to be Brother Leilingen!

Emperor Yan Li Shiwen is a monk in the Nascent Soul stage. There are many rumors outside about the exact number of Nascent Soul stages, but it is at least a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.

In the late Yuanying period, the great cultivator Lei Linggen would not need the Heavenly Thunder God Tree! Apart from using this thing as a tool for reckless use, the only thing left to do is to help Qimingqi break through this path...

breakthrough?

Thinking of this word, Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bold conjecture——Isn't this Emperor Yan Li Shiwen preparing to break through to the Dharma stage?

Does the Heavenly Thunder Shenmu have the effect of helping Nascent Soul cultivators break through the Dharma stage? Never heard of it!

However, just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's impossible. After all, before that, Lu Qing's own knowledge was only limited to the Golden Core stage. I don't know much about things at the Nascent Soul level, let alone breaking through the secrets of the Dharma phase.

This matter was purely guessed by Lu Qing, without any evidence, the two of them were discussing things with each other, and kept secret, and did not discuss further. The main purpose of Li Wenchang's visit was to warn the Zhao family not to cause extraneous incidents. He just said a few words casually about matters related to the Faceless Meeting and Yanhuang's breakthrough, and did not get involved too deeply.

Lu Qing was still listening patiently. Until Li Wenchang left, Lu Qing did not hear any more important news.

But that's enough. Although the words between Li Wenchang and Zhao Guangxin did not say anything important, they only pointed out the direction for Lu Qing, which was also very useful.

With a big guess in mind, of course others can only guess in their own mind after guessing, but Lu Qing has a way to verify it.

I don't know what Yanhuang is doing, why not just go and see?

Afterwards, Lu Qing stopped staring at Zhao Guangxin, and his consciousness first returned to Wen En's place, added the departure time, and then flew to the palace.

To be honest, Lu Qing never came to Yan Dynasty Palace, not even when he was alive. This arrival is also the first time.

However, there is no time to appreciate the majestic palace.

It took Lu Qing some time to find Emperor Yan himself in the huge palace.

When he found it, Emperor Yan was quite diligent and was reviewing government affairs.

Lu Qing looked at it curiously. They were all general government affairs, but they revealed some things that could be regarded as confidential in Yan Kingdom.

Although Lu Qing didn't want to see these things,

But he still remembered it in his heart. Not sure, when will be able to use it.

Continuing to monitor, Lu Qing accompanied His Majesty the emperor to review government affairs for two full days.

Then, he didn't get what the emperor wanted to do, but unexpectedly discovered another secret: Wei State was about to go north and attack Yan State.

The Great Wei Dynasty was in the south of Yan State and west of Qi State. Compared with the relatively friendly diplomatic relationship between Yan State and its western neighbor, that is, Jin State, Dayan and Yan and Qi, two neighbors to the south and southeast, are not very close friends.

It's a good thing to say about Qi, after all, there are very few parts that directly border each other, and the direct communication between the two sides needs to go through a large ocean. Moreover, the relationship between Qi State and Yan State is not good, and the relationship with Wei State is even worse. Therefore, the conflict between Da Qi and Yan State is actually not so much.

Relatively speaking, the relationship between Wei State and Yan State is even worse.

Even, among the various wars that Yan State has participated in for hundreds of thousands of years, the one that fought the most was with Wei State.

Logically speaking, it is not too unbelievable for Wei Guo to go north to attack Yan Guo. The two countries often fight, if you hit me, I will retaliate and go back. As long as it is not the kind of all-out war that the whole country is pouring out, then there is nothing to say.

But things seem to be different this time.

For the time being, Lu Qing has not figured out how strong Wei Guo's attacking army in the north is, and whether it will be a precursor to the start of a full-scale war. However, he could clearly see that Emperor Yan Li Shiwen had a smile on his face when he saw Wei's army marching north and starting to invade the land of Yan.

That expression is very similar to the appearance that something that has been expected for a long time has finally come true.

This not only made Lu Qing have another guess in his mind: Could it be that Emperor Yan promoted Wei's Northern Expedition? Yan Huang and Wei Guo already had a tacit understanding in advance? Or at least, Emperor Yan is happy to see this happen.

Regarding this matter, Lu Qing soon had an answer.

After learning about the start of the war and the second day of Wei Jun's Northern Expedition, Lu Qing saw that Emperor Yan quietly left his bedroom.

Moreover, when leaving, there was another Emperor Yan who went to sit in the Zhengyang Palace where he met courtiers and handled government affairs. This is of course a substitute, Lu Qing saw with his own eyes how the fake Emperor Yan changed through spells, and how the real Emperor Yan endowed himself with his own aura through spells.

The substitute is very similar to the real Emperor Yan, even if Lu Qing hadn't corrected the process of the two Emperor Yan appearing at the same time and transforming into substitutes, he might not be able to tell the difference.

This should be some kind of very high-end means.

Now that the deceitful doubles have been created, Lu Qing is even more curious about what Emperor Yan is going to do.

Following Yanhuang's body, he left the palace and came to a place in the north corner of the palace.

Here, a woman is already waiting here.

"Your Majesty." The woman bowed to Li Shiwen and said, "You should have received the news from our country."

"Um."

"I hope His Majesty will keep his promise."

"Don't worry, you can go back and tell Brother Cao that I, Li Shiwen, will never go back on what I promised."

Brother Cao?

When Lu Qing heard this name, he immediately thought of the Cao Dynasty in Wei State.

Come to think of it, apart from the royal family, which is also one of the nine great fairy kingdoms, what else can be called 'brother' by Emperor Yan?

Sure enough, there are many things hidden behind this war.

Lu Qing became more and more curious. Emperor Yan collected a large number of heavenly thunder gods, linked up with enemy countries, and launched a war against his own country. Lu Qing even speculated that the Faceless Society might have been secretly supported by the imperial court and even the royal family...

With so many things, the major event planned by Emperor Yan will definitely not be simple.

The more this was the case, the more Lu Qing felt that the possibility that Emperor Yan was planning to break through the dharma was higher.

Otherwise, it would be hard for Lu Qing to imagine that for Emperor Yan, besides Fa Xiang, what other things are worth spending such a long time, paying such a high price, and colluding with the enemy country?

After regaining consciousness for a while, Lu Qing saw that the woman who was suspected to be the envoy of Wei Guo took out a blue orb-like thing.

From this object, Lu Qing felt a very strong thunder power. It was as if a thundercloud containing terrifying energy was locked within this orb.

It's another thunder-attribute treasure...

After the female messenger handed over the item, she left. Li Shiwen, on the other hand, waited in place for a while, then turned around and entered a small room that was not very conspicuous in the palace.

Here, there is a secret passage downward.

In the room at the end of this secret passage, there is a formation that has been arranged.

Emperor Yan stood on it, and then the person disappeared.

Lu Qing clutched his forehead, this was very annoying.

It should be a teleportation formation that sent Li Shiwen away, and Lu Qing hated this kind of teleportation formation the most.

You teleported away, what should I do?

Except for the abilities of the ancient series, which may affect Lu Qing, his conscious body is immune to any spells. This allows him to ignore any forbidden laws and enter secret places. But in the same way, spells like teleportation can't work on him, which sometimes makes Lu Qing feel helpless.

Just like the current situation.

"I'm in trouble...how can I find Emperor Yan again?"

Lu Qing was floating in place thinking.

He didn't know what Yanhuang's specific goal was, he guessed the Faxiang.

And if we guess based on this, there are traces to follow where to find Emperor Yan.

If Li Shiwen really wants to break through the law, let's put all the preparations aside, the hard demand of spiritual energy concentration cannot be escaped.

No matter what he uses to strengthen the huge spiritual energy demand during the breakthrough, it can't replace the spiritual energy concentration provided by the spiritual vein itself. From this point of view, it is a necessary option for him to stay at the sixth-order spiritual vein.

There are a total of three sixth-order spiritual veins in the whole country of Yan, and Yunxiao Sect occupies two of them, one is in Wuzhou, the other is in Pingzhou, and the other is here in Yandu.

Yan Huang's breakthrough should be unlikely to choose the two places occupied by Yunxiaozong.

The reason is very simple. He has done so many things, colluded with the enemy country, and secretly supported the Faceless Society. Obviously he wanted to break through by himself, and he didn't want Yun Xiaozong to know.

Lu Qing didn't have a deep understanding of the specific relationship between the imperial court, the royal family, and the Cloud Sect, but from his point of view, if Emperor Yan really showed signs of breaking through the law, it would be normal for the Cloud Sect to object and not allow it. And judging by Emperor Yan's reaction, it should be the same. Otherwise, let alone the support of Yunxiaozong, as long as it is a neutral and acquiescing attitude, if Li Shiwen is going to make a breakthrough, he doesn't need to be so secretive, he can just come here openly?

In this way, the only place Li Shiwen can choose to make a breakthrough is Yandu.

This teleportation array must be somewhere leading to Yandu.

And within Yandu, not every place has the spiritual energy concentration of the sixth-order spiritual vein. After all, this is a huge urban agglomeration with a huge area and a huge population. Only a few places in the inner city truly have the strength of a sixth-order spiritual vein.

There are five such places in total, one for each of the four major families, and the one with the largest area is where the imperial palace is located. It includes the residence of the royal family Li, the central office of the imperial court, the emperor's own bedroom, and the garrison of the Dayan Imperial Army.

Lu Qing felt that the breakthrough location chosen by Emperor Yan must be within the palace.

As for where it is... that should be a secret place.

That range, although still very large, is not impossible to find.

With Lu Qing's flying speed, plus his characteristic of flying randomly regardless of the terrain, it would not take too long to search the entire Yan Kingdom Palace like a carpet.

However, after Lu Qing completed the first wave of carpet search, he couldn't find any trace of Emperor Yan.

"Am I wrong?"

Lu Qing couldn't help having such thoughts.

This is normal, after all, even the fact that Li Shiwen wanted to break through the Faxiang itself was his guess. His other reasoning is all based on this guess. In the middle, it is inevitable that there will be wrong guesses somewhere, and it is not incredible that he can't find anything here in the palace in the end.

But before getting further clues, Lu Qing had no way to make any other conjectures.

Lu Qing thought about it again, and suddenly he had some other ideas - I don't seem to have searched the entire palace!

His previous carpet search had seen every inch of land in the palace. However, the place with abundant aura concentration is not only the surface, but also the sky and the ground.

Among them, the sky in particular is the most likely.

In the underground of the spiritual vein, although the concentration of spiritual energy will be obviously higher than that in the sky, but Li Shiwen himself is a monk with a single spiritual root. It is obviously not a good choice for him to break through underground. Not to mention that he cannot use the power of the environment. Under the circumstances, the environment will become an obstacle instead.

And if it is above Yandu, it should not be too high. After all, you still need to rely on the spiritual energy of the spirit veins. If it is too high, the spiritual energy will become thinner and thinner.

The most likely altitude is about above the clouds.

Now that he had such an idea, Lu Qing immediately started to explore.

It's not like searching the ground anymore. After all, there is only one layer on the earth's surface, but there are many layers in the sky and clouds.

But even so, for the exploration of the clouds above Yanhuang Palace, he still searched very carefully, inch by inch. It doesn't matter if it takes a little time and effort, the most important thing is to find the person.

To be honest, this is a very boring thing.

But his hard work finally paid off.

Flying and flying, the originally monotonous and unchanging clouds and mist in front of Lu Qing's eyes suddenly changed, leaving a large space.

A metal platform was floating in the clouds, and Yanhuang and others stood in the center of this metal platform!

"finally found you."
