Chapter 129 Earth-Level Evolution, New Functions, Turbulent Times, Troubled Times

Li Hao sat in the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, surrounded by compliments, such as "wise and brave", "young genius", "promising future" and so on.

Yang Ting'an knelt not far away. In fact, this scene did not last too long, and Li Hao could not mobilize the Zhenbei formation all the time.

Not long after, accompanied by a roar, Yang Ting'an suddenly stood up, his eyes were fierce, and everyone was shocked.

But Li Hao just looked at him quietly, and Yang Ting'an could not really kill people.

Although the King of Zhenbei and the Prince Ming'an did not show up, they must be watching here in secret.

So, he turned around and left without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the field was cold and silent for a moment, and then it became more heated. Everyone looked at Li Hao with fiery eyes.

He not only passed this level, but also became the host, which made Yang Ting'an lose face.

Even with the help of the power of Zhenbei Formation, the realm gap between the two is difficult to make up. As a result, Yang Ting'an came with great momentum and returned in a hurry.

There is no doubt that after today, this chief will definitely not be a puppet mascot in the Junfa Division.

Some people also secretly sighed that Li Hao acted fiercely and faced such a conspiracy and counterattacked strongly. In the future, he will inevitably have many confrontations with Yang Ting'an.

I don't know if it will have a bad impact on them.

Even if all kinds of thoughts arise in my mind, on the surface, I still compete to say a few words to Li Hao.

Leifeng Pagoda stood quietly in the courtyard, and from time to time there was a violent clanging sound, but the mummy suppressed in it never got out of trouble.

Wan Ren also breathed a sigh of relief. Since this incident did not cause a disaster, he was relieved.

Then he turned around and prepared to walk towards the gate to welcome the late guests.

After only two steps, he turned back and saw Jiang Chen standing there with his head down. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jiang?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked. Jiang Chen suddenly looked up, and his dark pupils scared Wan Ren. He asked cautiously, "Are you... okay?"

"I'm fine, go and do your thing." Jiang Chen's voice was low, and his condition seemed a little weird.

But Wan Ren knew that these friends of Li Hao had many outstanding qualities and were not ordinary cultivators. He looked at them with concern, and left after hesitating.

Jiang Chen walked towards the direction of Li Hao, his steps were erratic, and he easily passed through the crowd and came to Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't care at first, and after a casual glance, he was suddenly shocked in his heart. Damn... Why did Jiang Chen suddenly change?

Who killed him?

After saying sorry to the people around him, he took Jiang Chen to a secluded place, wrapped himself with spiritual power, and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Yes, I am the one you think of." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Why did you come out suddenly? Is there any danger here, or did someone kill Jiang Chen?" Li Hao hesitated and looked around.

"No..." The other party responded: "I felt the breath of the same kind, and it is a natural kind. I need him."

"The same kind?" Li Hao was slightly stunned, and then his eyes looked in the direction of Leifeng Pagoda.

The dried corpse under Leifeng Pagoda is the only thing he can connect with zombies.

"Yes, it is the thing in the tower." The other party nodded, and said in a faint voice: "Can you give me the body?"

He asked, he could vaguely feel that this place is not simple, with his current strength, it might be difficult to rob it directly.

"This..." Li Hao showed a thoughtful look, it was useless for him to have the body, since Jiang Chen needed it, he didn't mind giving it to the other party.

But he also had a few questions to ask.

"Sir, can you control Jiang Chen's body at will now?" Li Hao asked.

The other party was silent. He didn't want to answer this question, but this place was obviously the other party's territory.

And this kid seems to be very unusual. Last time, he even asked Tathagata to possess his body. If he is not satisfied, it will be difficult to take the things away.

"No, this time I felt that I was born with the same kind, which is of great benefit to me, so I can wake up." He explained: "Don't worry, he and I are born as one, and I will not cause any harm to him."

"Born as one?" Li Hao's eyes flashed slightly, and these four words could completely deny what Beiling Taoist said.

However, he had long known that Beiling Taoist was fooling Jiang Chen, and asked directly: "Can you explain it in detail?"

"This person is my good friend, and I don't want to see him practice for a lifetime and make wedding clothes for others."

Li Hao's voice was not fierce, but he had his own attitude.

This is Zhenbei City. He has now entered the Four Symbols and can even call on part of the power of the formation.

No matter if he is the ancestor of zombies or not, he really dares to turn the world upside down, and he will suppress him immediately!

It can be seen that the other party was very hesitant. After a while, he shook his head and laughed: "Haha, this consciousness is lucky to have a friend like you."

"Well, I'll be frank with you."

"I am a corpse passed down from generation to generation in the Beiling Corpse Raising Clan." His words were shocking, and Li Hao was even stunned for a moment with just a few words.

Corpse Raising Clan?

Corpse passed down from generation to generation?

He didn't wait for Li Hao to react, and said: "I don't know how long I have existed, and the Beiling Clan has been nurturing my body for generations."

"One after another consciousness was born on it, walking in the world with the help of this body. Some are very powerful, and some are very weak."

"However, I did wake up in this generation."

Li Hao digested the news. Although he had known that this world was magical, he was really surprised that there was such a Taoist tradition.

He added: "This generation is indeed a little special. The consciousness is not born, but is infused by the corpse raisers of this generation."

Li Hao's mind moved slightly, and then he suddenly realized that it seemed that part of what the Taoist Beiling said was true.

Jiang Chen's growth experience should not be fabricated.

"Are you from an untraceable era?" Li Hao asked again. If this guy is really Jiang Chen, he must know a lot of secrets.

For example... the mystery of the fall of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"I'm not sure either. Many memories are incomplete. I need to restore my strength." He shook his head, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.

Li Hao stroked his chin, and without thinking for too long, he said: "I understand..."

He moved his fingers, and the Leifeng Pagoda slowly rose, revealing a gap. Jiang Chen did not say anything and walked straight in.

Accompanied by a roar, the Leifeng Pagoda fell again.

This so-called corpse-raising lineage should have many secrets, but Li Hao only needs to know the general idea.

While thinking, Wan Ren hurried over, holding a jade slip in his hand, and came to Li Hao, whispering: "Sir, a servant sent it not long ago, and the news on it is very important."

"Oh?" Li Hao heard this, took the jade slip, and reflected a seal character--

"Qing Nang has left the palace and is now in Anqing Street. He will come to apologize!"

Qing Nang came to apologize?

Li Hao's face darkened, and he instantly realized the deep meaning contained in it.

Qing Nang is the man of Prince Ming'an. In this case, coming to apologize is completely trying to hang him in the air.

First, Yang Ting'an came to provoke, and then Qingnang came to ask for forgiveness. This set of moves was really deadly.

Wan Ren also knew the pros and cons, so he hurried to report.

"My lord, what should we do?" He asked in a low voice: "If we don't send someone to stop him."

"Qingnang's cultivation is not low, and ordinary people can't stop him. If there is any conflict, it will be more troublesome." Li Hao thought about it. He was also surprised by this matter. He didn't expect Qingnang to be abandoned so easily.

"Moreover, it is not certain that the matter is true based on this jade slip alone."

When Qingnang came to recruit him that day, he thought that this person was an important guest around Prince Ming'an.

But if it is true, it seems to be nothing special, or it means that Prince An is too unfeeling.

Dong! Dong!

There was a knocking sound in Leifeng Pagoda, which was different from the previous knocking. It was regular and low.

This is Jiang Chen coming out...

Li Hao raised his hand, and Leifeng Pagoda turned into a golden stream of light and fell into his hand. Only Jiang Chen was left under the pagoda, and the mummy had disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you..." He said to Li Hao, his condition seemed to be better, and his breath was stronger.

"Sir, there is something I need your help with." Li Hao suddenly said.

"What is it?" Jiang Chen's expression changed a little. Eating his corpse, he wouldn't want me to do something difficult, right?

"I want you to help me catch someone." Li Hao whispered, and his voice gradually disappeared.

Jiang Chen left here, with Wan Ren.

After watching the two leave, he returned to the place where the banquet was held. Although everyone was pretending to be polite to each other.

But in fact, they were all paying attention to the movements here and guessing what happened.

However, Li Hao's conversation with several people was blocked by spiritual power, and they could hardly spy on it.

...

On the other side, Qing Nang staggered and staggered.

"Hey, don't you have eyes? I've covered my whole body with spiritual energy, and you still bump into me!?" Someone stared at Qingnang and scolded.

Qingnang didn't bother to pay attention at all, and went in a certain direction on his own, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"When the mansion was opened, there were the most people in his mansion, and the momentum was the greatest, it was the best time."

"You'd better cry and cry, the more wronged the better..."

Prince Ming'an's people have already arranged the plan, and they have already planned what kind of words can most arouse suspicion and doubt from others.

"In the end, it ended up like this..." He lamented in his heart.

He could also disobey Prince Ming'an's orders, but the final result waiting for him would be more tragic than now.

He couldn't refuse, and his resentment towards Li Hao became more intense.

"If you hadn't refused to recruit me, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."

"I was born in a humble family, and since there is a chance to soar to the sky, why don't you grab it firmly!?"

He still doesn't understand why Li Hao refused the prince's recruitment.

The King of Zhenbei was indeed very good to him, but in terms of prospects, Prince Ming'an must have a brighter future.

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind. I don't believe that the King of Zhenbei will really protect you!" He gritted his teeth secretly, determined to give Li Hao a heavy blow at this moment when he was full of pride.

He didn't know how Li Hao would react when he saw him kneeling in front of him.

Surprised? Confused? Refreshed?

Maybe all of them, after all, he was Prince Ming'an's man, and this identity was subject to his majesty, how could it not make people excited.

Maybe, he would say some unwise words at that time.

"You shouldn't be so foolish..." Qing Nang shook his head again. Although it was nice to think like that, Li Hao was not a fool.

At that time, he would probably kneel in front of him with a panic expression, ask him to stand up, and then say that he represented Prince Ming'an and shouldn't do that...

He could foresee the scene at that time. This was a normal response.

However, Yang Ting'an had already made a move to make Li Hao lose face. If he did this, the momentum that the King of Zhenbei had created for Li Hao would be gone.

"What a pity..."

Bang!

Before this idea completely emerged, he felt an unimaginable force coming from the back of his head, and then his eyes went black, and he felt a little dizzy.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot. The people nearby seemed to feel something and looked at the place where Qing Nang had just disappeared in confusion.

"Was there a person there just now?"

"It was so fast, what magical power did he use, I couldn't see it clearly?"

………

"Don't send me off, Li Sishou..." Liu Fangzhu boarded the carriage, and the smile on Li Hao's face gradually faded. It was already dark, and the banquet ended.

"It's really tiring to talk nonsense with this group of people..." Li Hao sighed.

"This time, we can get nearly 10 million spiritual source crystals. There are so many people who want to talk nonsense." Lin Fei next to him was also sour.

"How much is it exactly?" Li Hao was slightly shocked and asked. This was the highlight. If it weren't for these things, he wouldn't bother to talk nonsense with this group of people.

"More than 9 million, a total of 126 forces came." Lin Fei briefly stated: "Among them, the forces at the level of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion and Zhenxiufang gave the most, all 500,000."

"The other forces are uneven."

"So many?" Wan Ren, who was walking over, couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this. This was just a celebration.

All the resources he has consumed in his cultivation so far probably add up to less than one million spiritual source crystals.

"Not much. When Huai Yuan took over the head of the Junfa Division, he should have received treasures worth more than 20 million spiritual source crystals." Lin Fei recalled, and then said:

"It seems that many people are too cautious, afraid that they will be recorded after coming here."

"As expected." Li Hao was not surprised. Although coming to congratulate him did not mean standing on his side, there were also many people who thought too much and were unwilling to take risks.

"It's really..." Wan Ren was hesitant to speak, unable to describe it. Obviously, it caused him a great shock.

If a casual cultivator, even if he was in the Four Symbols Realm, wanted to get so many spiritual source crystals, he would have to spend some means and time. How could it be so easy.

Lin Fei glanced at him and laughed, "There are only three chiefs in the entire Zhenbei City. Although their influence does not cover the entire northern border, they can still have a say in many places."

"They rotate every few decades, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years. Collecting these things is really not a lot."

Including the ones left in his hands before, he already has about 16 million spiritual source crystals. In theory, he can evolve the world of the eighth level of the earth level.

He still needs about 4 million spiritual source crystals to evolve the heaven level world.

However, it may take some time, after all, what should be asked, what should be cut, and what should be rewarded have been done.

But he is not too eager to evolve the heaven level world.

Because he found out last time that the higher the level of the evolved world, the stronger the strength. He may not be able to kill all the enemies and get good things when he finally reflects into it.

In addition, he has to keep some spiritual source crystals for emergencies, so he actually needs more.

The earth level world is enough for him now.

He thought it through quickly. After counting the spiritual source crystals, he returned to the room and started the evolution directly.

He had just received the Spiritual Source Crystals, which were not even warm yet, but he invested all of them. He only invested 14 million to evolve to the seventh level of the Earth Level, and left about 2 million for emergency use.

[Evolution in progress, scene anchoring successful]

[Earth Level Evolution is activated, special function - transformation is activated, please select identity

Sect Deacon

Idle Monk]

Without knowing what world it is, there is nothing to worry about in choosing an identity, so Li Hao directly chose the first one.

[Special function - Evolution term: None]

[Evolution term]?

Is this the new ability of Earth Level Evolution?

Li Hao was a little surprised and puzzled. Looking at the gray text, he had already memorized it. It was nothing more than needing energy.

Just in case he had left some for emergency use, he recharged again.

After consuming about 1 million Spiritual Source Crystals, the font really moved.

[Evolution term - Lone Star: People around you will die for various reasons. The more people die, the richer the reward.

Replaceable]

?

Li Hao was slightly stunned. So this form...

However, his eyes were fixed on the replaceable function. After all, it was a new function, so he had to explore it.

Replacement also required Spirit Source Crystals. Li Hao pinched his nose and threw in the remaining Spirit Source Crystals.

Accompanied by a blur of the font--

[Evolution Term--Disaster Transformation: A new disaster choice is added, which is more dangerous and has more generous rewards

Replaceable]

A new choice is added?

Li Hao was a little surprised. Every time the new function is replaced, Spirit Source Crystals are consumed. He has already emptied it, and he has not replaced it.

However, the new function is still quite powerful. It can affect the evolution and ultimately determine the reward.

Wanjiezhi fell into silence, and Li Hao was also emptied.

After dealing with these things, Li Hao came out of the room. Wan Ren was waiting outside, and there were two bald men.

It was Jiaye and Jin Chan.

Wan Ren said with embarrassment: "Sir, these two have been reluctant to leave..."

"No problem, I'll take care of it..." Li Hao smiled lightly and said sideways: "Please come in and talk."

Jiaye hesitated, and finally followed Li Hao into the room.

"I heard from Ksitigarbha Buddha that you have borrowed the power of Tathagata Buddha?" Seeing that there was no one around, Jiaye also went straight to the point.

"Yes..." Li Hao nodded and admitted it frankly.

Jiaye's strength is not bad. He has been protecting Jin Chan all the way here, and he is in the realm of Tongyou.

"In this case, you should follow us back to the Ten Thousand Buddha Plateau, and let Ksitigarbha Buddha open your wisdom for you personally." Jiaye said urgently.

"Master..." Li Hao shook his head and sighed, "I can't leave here yet."

"Why?" Jiaye asked, "Is it the King of Zhenbei or Daxia who won't let you leave?"

"No..." Li Hao was mysterious and said leisurely, "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty!"

Jiaye was shocked when he heard this and looked at Li Hao who was in a sad state.

He had heard this sentence from Ksitigarbha Buddha, and it was because of this sentence that they came to the northern border from afar.

He didn't expect that he could hear this sentence again from the person in front of him.

This made him firmly believe what Ksitigarbha Buddha said, that this person must be the reincarnation of the Supreme Buddha.

Seeing Jiaye was so excited that he couldn't speak, Li Hao knew that he had made the right bet.

To deal with such fanatics, you have to be ambiguous and keep hinting.

"Do you also want to enter the gate of hell?" Jiaye asked.

"The Buddha said: It cannot be said" Li Hao was unfathomable, neither admitting nor denying.

Jiaye fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, since you have such a great wish, I will do my best to protect you!"

Jin Chan didn't know much about these things, so this was just like when he listened to Ksitigarbha Buddha's lectures in the past, he was confused, but he still looked calm and said: "I am also willing to protect the Buddha's children."

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't say much, neither refused nor took responsibility.

He wouldn't encounter any danger in Zhenbei City, but he wouldn't mind having more bodyguards for nothing, which was why he was willing to talk nonsense with the other party.

Li Hao arranged for the two to stay in the mansion, and then followed Wan Ren to the dungeon.

Jiang Chen and the tightly sealed Qing Nang were here.

"You are finally here..." This guy glanced at Li Hao and didn't return the body yet.

"Trouble..." Li Hao nodded, and the other party waved his hand: "It's a small matter. You should think carefully about the matter of raising corpses before deciding whether to tell him."

"I don't care, but I'm afraid that he will be stimulated and will definitely go to die."

Li Hao was silent, it's not that there is no such possibility.

If Jiang Chen knew that his body was just an object and had been passed down for many years, I wonder if he would have a seizure.

With a flutter of his eyelids, Jiang Chen's body fell straight over. Before he hit the ground, he opened his eyes again and jumped up suddenly.

For a moment, he was a little confused and puzzled. He looked around and his face changed. Finally, he looked at Li Hao and said, "Did he come out?"

"Yeah," Li Hao nodded.

"It's not a dream..." Jiang Chen murmured, wailing, "Did I really chew the mummy?"

Li Hao was silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's voice became even more shrill: "Damn it, can you not use your mouth? I have a psychological shadow!"

He was dragged out by Wan Ren, leaving only Li Hao and Qing Nang in the dungeon.

A flash of lightning burst out from Li Hao's fingertips, and Qing Nang's body trembled slightly, waking up from coma.

"Hiss——" He took a breath of cold air, and before he even had time to observe the surrounding environment, he subconsciously reached out to touch the back of his head.

As expected, it was a bloody mess.

He was a practitioner of the Four Symbols Realm. If he wanted to knock him out, the power he would have to exert was simply unimaginable.

Therefore, there was a big hole in his head, which made him unable to help but throb with pain.

"Li Hao?" He looked up and looked at Li Hao who was close at hand. After being stunned, he couldn't believe it: "You have an eyeliner around His Royal Highness the Prince!?"

The conversation seemed a bit out of place, but in fact, Qing Nang had completed the deduction of the situation in his mind the moment he saw Li Hao.

The reason why he was here must be that Li Hao sent someone to secretly attack him.

Although he wanted to go to Li Hao's mansion and do something unfavorable to him, only a limited number of people knew about this.

And basically they were all people close to Prince Ming'an.

Li Hao must have known about this because someone tipped him off.

"Mr. Qingnang is also a smart man. In this case, we don't need to waste time talking." Li Hao got straight to the point and asked directly: "Before, when I was fighting with Tienan Jun, you wanted to trick me, right?"

"Heh..." Qingnang sneered: "No need to waste time talking. If you dare to attack me, His Royal Highness will not forgive you."

"Yang Ting'an is just the beginning. Although you have become the head of the department, you are no different from a puppet."

There was something taken for granted in his words, as if he had already acquiesced that Yang Ting'an's plan had succeeded, Li Hao was humiliated, and no one was willing to listen to his orders.

"You are already a discarded child, why do you still consider him so much?" Li Hao did not explain, but just said: "This is Zhenbei City, he will find out everything."

The King of Zhenbei has been operating here for many years. Even if people's hearts are unsteady recently, it is still easy to make Qingnang disappear and make it impossible to trace.

"Forget it, since you are loyal to Prince Ming'an, I will send you on your way. Unfortunately, no one can see your loyalty." Li Hao raised his hand and was about to take action. The last sentence fell lightly into Qingnang's ears:

"Also, Yang Ting'an was forced to kneel in front of the mansion by me. It's hard to say who is the puppet."

Qingnang's pupils contracted. What? Yang Ting'an failed?

He is in the Tongyou realm. Prince Ming'an's people have deduced that even if Li Hao uses the power of the Zhenbei formation, it is impossible to suppress Yang Ting'an!

Without time to think too much, he subconsciously said: "Wait!"

Li Hao's hand that was about to fall suddenly stopped, and said indifferently: "You only have one chance to say one sentence."

Qingnang didn't know why he called a halt. Maybe he was a person who feared death. The instinctive reaction before death subconsciously wanted to delay the arrival of death.

It may also be because he was shocked by what Li Hao said and wanted to distinguish the truth from the false.

His mind was entangled. He had never thought of betraying Prince Ming'an because the price of betrayal was too high.

But in this small piece of land in Zhenbei City, even if he died, Prince Ming'an might not be able to find anything.

So he didn't want to die so worthlessly and silently.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Someone around His Royal Highness wants to harm you!"

"This news doesn't seem to be worth much. Don't everyone around him want to harm me?" Li Hao frowned.

"No..." Qingnang shook his head: "You are different. You have great potential. Let His Majesty pay attention to you and kill you directly. It is not within the scope of consideration."

"Besides, before you became the head of the Junfa Division, His Royal Highness didn't care much about you."

"But there is one person who is very hostile to you."

Li Hao was interested. Prince Ming'an came from the Central Region, and he had never met anyone around him.

After arriving at Zhenbei City, I haven't dealt with the other side too much. At most, I have had some friction with the people from Jixia Academy, which is not a big deal.

I really can't think of anyone...

Wait... Li Hao was slightly stunned. There was someone from the northern border beside Prince Ming'an - the courtesan of Runchun Garden - Rouyue.

"Rouyue?" He asked tentatively. Qingnang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Li Hao to think of it so quickly, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's her..."

"She has a special physique, but she has no worries. She can control it with the method of Yuanshen, but she can't break through Tongyou. If you want her to be willing to make wedding clothes for His Royal Highness, she must practice voluntarily."

"She put forward conditions to the prince."

"Kill me?" Li Hao asked back.

"No, I will destroy you and then let her deal with it." Qingnang's answer made Li Hao even more confused.

Lin Fei told him about Rouyue's information. She has nothing to do with him. Why does she have such a great hatred for him?

Rouyue's conditions, he took over as the head of the Junfa Division, disrupting Prince Ming'an's plan, and perhaps he was a little unhappy that he refused to recruit her.

Under the impetus of various factors, the balance in Prince Ming'an's heart gradually tilted.

With all sorts of thoughts, he recalled the jade slip that sent the letter during the day. The person who sent it was also entrusted by someone, and there was no way to check it.

If it was the King of Zhenbei's people, he should have been notified directly, and there was no need to make it so mysterious.

But the same thing, who would send a letter to Prince Ming'an without someone he was familiar with?

After thinking about it, it was still only Rouyue. Could it be that the one who harmed him and helped him was the same person?

Li Hao gathered his thoughts and asked: "What grudge does she have with me?"

This made Qingnang a little confused. He provoked such a big enemy, but Li Hao didn't know anything?

"I don't know either. I have never had direct contact with her. Prince Ming'an placed her in the deep palace. There is no man around her." Qingnang shook his head.

It seems that Prince Ming'an is also afraid that someone else will snatch away his wedding dress before it is woven.

"Very good, this is a good start." Li Hao also understood that Qingnang should know nothing about this matter.

He did not continue to interrogate, Qingnang needs to accept the reality that he has betrayed in order to squeeze out more information.

Rouyue popped up inexplicably, which made Li Hao puzzled. He really didn't know when he had offended the other party.

"Well... It seems that we can only go to Runchun Garden to have a look..." Li Hao pondered. The only place where Rouyue stayed in Zhenbei City was Runchun Garden.

………

On the other side, in the palace, Prince Ming'an frowned and looked at the person who reported the news below: "Mr. Qingnang, has disappeared?"

"Yes..." The person who reported below was sweating: "We followed Mr. Qingnang, and before we could see clearly, he disappeared. It seems that someone kidnapped him by force."

"Kidnapped him by force?" Prince Ming'an frowned: "In Zhenbei City, is there anyone else who dares to do it?"

"The one who did it may be someone from Zhenbei City." Someone below spoke indifferently: "However, kidnapping Qingnang at this time must be because of the matter of asking for forgiveness."

"Your Highness, you should check around."

Prince Ming'an's eyes were slightly cold, and he obviously discovered the key information hidden behind this matter.

However, he said again: "But around me, there are absolute confidants brought from the Central Region."

"Confidants will inevitably rebel, and the adopted sons of the King of Zhenbei are all unfaithful." The man's tone was light, but Prince Ming'an nodded:

"What you said makes sense, Lie Zhou, you will handle this matter."

"Understood." Lie Zhou looked calm.

Ming'an nodded and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that Yang Ting'an also failed."

"Both methods are useless and only make people laugh."

Liezhou also regretted, "This person is indeed extraordinary, but it is a pity that this person does not want to follow His Highness, otherwise he will definitely become his right and left arm."

"This person looks docile on the surface, but is actually unruly. I may not be able to treat him like the King of Zhenbei." Ming An shook his head.

"But it's the same." Lie Zhou nodded. What these princes want is loyalty, absolute loyalty, otherwise they will not be reused.

Just like Tie Nanjun, he is obviously his person, but in essence he is not accepted.

………

Early the next morning, Li Hao wanted to go to Runchunyuan first, but news came from the palace and asked him to enter the palace. It seemed that there was something urgent.

By the time he arrived, senior officials from Zhenbeicheng had already arrived, including Xing Mengdao, Chief Wu, General Lin, Mr. Qiu, etc...

The guard who had led him to retreat, Wu Sishou was the first to speak, laughing loudly:

"Director Li, I wanted to go to the mansion to visit you yesterday, but in order to avoid arousing speculation from the people below, I held back my thoughts."

The heads of the three divisions have changed, and there will basically be no movement in the other two divisions.

The people didn't go and the money didn't arrive. Aren't you talking nonsense?

Li Hao complained, but also smiled on the surface: "Secretary Wu, you are polite, we are all our own people."

Xing Mengdao looked at him and said in a strong voice: "I heard that you took one of my subordinates to be a housekeeper?"

"Chief Xing should know the ins and outs of this matter." Li Hao did not answer directly.

Xing Mengdao did not continue the topic, but he also looked away. Everyone knew that he had embarrassed Yang Ting'an, and no one dared to look down on the chief executive.

After he sat down, King Zhenbei got straight to the point and said directly without any delay: "I have called you here for three things."

"First, our people have entered the gate of hell."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Wu Sishou immediately said: "Is there any news?"

"Not yet." King Zhenbei shook his head:

"But they have successfully verified what Li Sishou said, so everyone who has been in contact with the ghost gate must be strictly controlled in case of emergency."

Xing Mengdao was also very direct: "Our people are easy to handle. They are all soldiers and are basically in Zhenbei City. There is no big problem, but those from the sect are more troublesome."

"Most of the people who came into contact with the Ghost Gate at the Boneyard last time were the mainstays of those sects, and some were even the sons of the heads or elders."

"If we force them to surrender, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

King Zhenbei nodded: "I understand, so I want to talk about the second thing - the sect enters the city."

"The sect garrison outside the city has almost been built, and it's time for those sects to send people to move in."

Li Hao's heart moved slightly. It turned out that those sect stations still had this function.

It seems that King Zhenbei and Prince Ming'an had already thought about it from the beginning.

"But how can we be sure that the people who come are all people who have been in contact with the hell gate?" Xing Mengdao was puzzled.

"We will designate all the sects, and the people who come will be designated by us." King Zhenbei had a plan, and they had set many detailed rules from the beginning.

The sects that have been exposed to the ghost gate are only a small part of them, and all the sects are designated, which can greatly dispel all kinds of worries.

Being able to see some acquaintances again, Li Hao couldn't help but think wildly.

Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, I don’t know if your body has been taken away...

"As for the third thing, it was an unexpected incident." King Zhenbei turned around and said: "Less than ten thousand miles away from Zhenbei City, there is a big tomb that is about to be revealed. It has soaring yin energy and a lot of treasures."

"Yang Ting'an went to investigate and found a mummy from the Four Symbol Realm just outside. I'm afraid it was also affected by the Ghost Gate. I don't know what kind of changes have occurred."

Li Hao was a little surprised that the zombie came from here.

The range of ten thousand miles is not that far, and it is likely to have some impact on Zhenbei City, so the King of Zhenbei mentioned it.

"The emergence of the big tomb will inevitably cause a commotion. Many casual cultivators in the north will also gather here. The casual cultivators do not stick to one standard and hate being bound by rules."

"So, during this period, people from the sect will enter the city, and a large number of casual cultivators will come here, which will inevitably cause trouble. I hope that the three of you will help each other and not cause big trouble." King Zhenbei warned again.

"Understood." The three of them said in unison.

Immediately, everyone discussed some details, and it was not until noon that King Zhenbei let everyone leave.

"Wait, Li Hao, you stay..."

When everyone was about to leave, King Zhenbei said specifically, which made several people look at each other and think of what happened yesterday.

After everyone left, King Zhenbei looked at Li Hao and suddenly laughed and said: "You did a good job regarding Yang Ting'an. They wanted to dampen your spirit, but they made themselves lose their prestige."

"It's just a fluke. It all depends on the power of Zhenbei Formation." Li Hao said humbly.

"You, you..." King Zhenbei pointed at him, meaning, "It's not a good thing to be too humble. Sometimes, you should be more arrogant."

Hmm...is this a hint?

In this case, when I go to Junfa Division later, I can be even more crazy.

Li Hao had a strange look on his face and did not respond, but King Zhenbei changed his tone and asked: "Mr. Qingnang, who is under Prince Ming'an, did you do it?"

He seemed to smile, just now he praised him for being modest, but now he asked such arrogant questions.

"It's me..." Li Hao admitted it without any hesitation.

It's not a good choice to deceive the King of Zhenbei in Zhenbei City.

And it's such an indelible act.

"Why?" The King of Zhenbei asked, without any criticism, he knew that Li Hao was not a reckless person, and there must be a reason for the incident.

"Prince Ming'an ordered him to go to my mansion to plead guilty." Li Hao briefly explained.

"Plead guilty..." The King of Zhenbei's face sank slightly, and he instantly tasted the sinister intention of Prince Ming'an's behavior.

"When I received this message, there was not much time left, so I took action directly." Li Hao explained again.

"Well." The King of Zhenbei nodded: "It's understandable that we have to act in an emergency."

"Prince Ming'an asked me about this matter last night, and I sent him back. Don't worry, he can't find any traces."

He reassured Li Hao and said that he would support him.

Then, he asked, "Do you have a spy around Prince Ming'an?"

"I was also confused about what was going on. At that time, I suspected that this was a trap."

There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing. He said more: "Moreover, according to Qingnang, Rouyue, who was around Prince Ming'an, seemed to have a great hatred for me, but I don't know when I offended her."

"Rouyue?" The King of Zhenbei was also a little surprised: "That courtesan?"

"I ordered people to check her. It is impossible for her to have any intersection with you."

"I don't understand either." Li Hao was also very surprised. Rouyue didn't deal with him because of the King of Zhenbei, but she came up to him and did it. There must be something wrong.

The King of Zhenbei said thoughtfully: "I will let someone keep an eye on this matter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Li Hao nodded. With a backer, he would naturally not be stupid enough to do everything himself.
