Chapter 221: White Deer Academy, Gathering in the Imperial City

Looking at Lu Chen who suddenly appeared in his soul space, Yue Ziqi was shocked and angry.

Let’s not talk about how Lu Chen entered his soul.

Just the fact that he could appear in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division of Huaiyang Prefecture without anyone noticing was already a terrifying thing.

You should know that the prison of the Demon Suppression Division is the most important place in the Demon Suppression Division, without a doubt.

Generally speaking, in addition to the patrol envoy of the third realm and the Golden Order Heavenly Master, the powerful person in the Demon Suppression Division is the warden of the Demon Suppression Division.

Yue Ziqi himself was the warden of the Demon Suppression Division before.

So he knew too well how strict the security was in the Demon Suppression Division.

Let alone an outsider came in openly.

Even if it was just a fly, don’t think of flying into the prison of the Demon Suppression Division at will.

The fact that Lu Chen could do this was enough to show how terrifying he was.

Although Yue Ziqi didn’t know what Lu Chen was going to do.

But his instinct for survival told him that this was definitely not a good thing.

Therefore, facing Lu Chen who appeared in his soul space, Yue Ziqi immediately prepared to go all out to drive this uninvited guest out.

In the empty space, Yue Ziqi used all his strength to activate his own life-defining Gu worm.

The whole person turned into a residual image and came to Lu Chen in an instant.

Then the long spear in his hand shone with light, and he stabbed it out.

This seemingly ordinary attack contained the special power of Gu worms.

A white horse appeared around Yue Ziqi, and the white horse was majestic and had cold eyes.

The spear intent of the Dao realm.

Lu Chen saw the essence of this spear at a glance.

But, the Dao realm alone is not enough.

Ding!

Just when Yue Ziqi was determined to win this spear, he suddenly stopped with an ugly look.

On Lu Chen's shoulder, a golden dragon easily blocked his attack.

The golden dragon's claws held the tip of Yue Ziqi's spear.

The huge force coming from above made it difficult for Yue Ziqi to pull back his weapon.

Looking at Yue Ziqi who was so close, Lu Chen's expression was very calm.

This appearance undoubtedly made Yue Ziqi even more uneasy.

In order to ease the fear in his heart, Yue Ziqi immediately let out an angry roar, released the spear in his hand, and punched Lu Chen in the face.

But before the fist touched Lu Chen, Yue Ziqi felt a sharp pain in his body.

He lowered his head and found that a white spirit sword had been inserted into his chest at some point.

In theory, the competition in the soul space seems to be similar to reality.

But in essence, the two sides are just a competition of will.

Regardless of winning or losing, the souls of both sides will be damaged to a certain extent.

After all, the soul space cannot use spiritual power. They are just using soul power to simulate spiritual power, so as to use their own magic skills in reality.

Not to mention that the soul body in the soul space has no vital points.

As long as there is soul power, the cultivator can be resurrected infinitely in the soul space.

Therefore, the battle of soul depends not only on the cultivator's means and soul strength, but also on the cultivator's own willpower, and it is difficult to rely on external objects.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Some special magic tools and magic treasures may have ordinary effects in reality.

But it is completely different in the soul space.

For example, Lu Chen's "Juetian Sword".

In reality, Lu Chen's Juetian Sword is certainly not bad.

But its real horror lies in the soul space.

Because the Juetian Sword is a rare weapon that can directly cause damage to the soul.

In the soul space, the Juetian Sword is not a Taoist weapon, but it is better than a Taoist weapon.

Yue Ziqi looked at the Juetian Sword inserted into his chest.

He could clearly feel a violent tearing sensation coming from his chest.

In a trance, Yue Ziqi only felt that his life was like a revolving lantern, passing by in front of him.

And these scenes finally stopped at the moment when he was captured by Yuwen Hongguang.

In fact, he had thought about this day as early as ten years ago.

He had also thought about dying in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division.

But he didn't expect it to be this way, and he didn't expect to be killed by a stranger like Lu Chen.

At the last moment before his death, Yue Ziqi had only one thought in his mind.

Who is this person who suddenly appeared in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division?

Unfortunately, Lu Chen was destined not to give him this answer.

Because in Lu Chen's eyes, Yue Ziqi was just a tool for him to explore the secrets of the Daying Dynasty.

There is no need to explain too much to a tool.

With the death of Yue Ziqi's soul, the Tianzi No. 5 room where he was suddenly quieted down.

After an unknown period of time, Yue Ziqi opened his eyes again.

But this time Yue Ziqi's eyes were completely different from before, as if he had changed into a different person.

That's right, Yue Ziqi at this time was no longer him, but was replaced by Lu Chen.

He became a carrier of Lu Chen's external incarnation.

And Lu Chen also understood a lot of things with the help of Yue Ziqi's memory.

The reason why Yue Ziqi was caught was related to the fire in Daying Palace ten years ago.

The fire was not a simple fire as rumored by the outside world, but the result of someone deliberately causing it.

Yue Ziqi didn't know who set the fire, but he took advantage of the fire to secretly take two people away.

One was his childhood sweetheart, Empress Xiao Shu, and the other was the current crown prince, Zhao Weiyang.

Before Zhao Weiyang, Emperor Zhao Zhongming of Daying actually had seven other children.

But without exception, all of these children died after reaching a certain age.

Yue Ziqi didn't know about this at first, but Empress Xiao told him after she came out.

The reason why Zhao Zhongming wanted to pursue the matter of the year and even arrested him, a third-level cultivator who could be regarded as a pillar of the country for the Daying Dynasty.

There must be a reason to protect his own secrets.

There is no doubt that in Zhao Zhongming's eyes, his secrets are far more important than a few third-level cultivators.

With the help of Yue Ziqi's memory, Lu Chen vaguely guessed what the secret of Emperor Zhao Zhongming of Daying was.

Because in Yue Ziqi's memory, the prince who was only five years old and held in Empress Xiao's arms was very special.

Not only was he born with a strange phenomenon, but his left and right pupils were one white and one purple.

There was even a heavenly eye similar to the Cui family's three-life Dharma Eyes at his brow.

No matter how you look at it, that prince is not an ordinary person.

Lu Chen had a hunch that Emperor Daying and the Prince Daying were the key to this True Immortal Trial.

And Lu Chen already knew where the Prince Daying was.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt that his True Immortal Trial this time should be over soon.

But before that, he needed to get rid of the evildoers who had sneaked into this True Immortal Trial here.

[Main Quest: Kill the Evildoers (2/10)]

[Quest Requirements: Please kill the unknown evildoers hidden in the ‘True Immortal Trial’ five years later]

[Quest Reward: 200,000 Experience Points, Random Heavenly Dao Fragments*2]

[Number of Remaining Evildoers: 13]

Thirteen evildoers, this is the result after Lu Chen killed seven evildoers.

Although Lu Chen didn't know where the remaining thirteen evildoers were.

But it didn't matter, Lu Chen would be able to find them all soon.

Maybe Lu Chen didn't even need to take the initiative to find them, they would come to him.

Thinking of this, the originally confusing True Immortal Trial gradually became clear in Lu Chen's eyes.

He also gradually understood what the second level of the trial was testing, and understood how to pass it.

If he guessed correctly, after the end of this level of the trial, there would not be many people left in the entire True Immortal Trial.

In the Daying Dynasty, in a small town in the south.

"Brother Ye, I know why those people from the Demon Suppression Department didn't let us leave the city, because they are investigating the so-called extraterritorial demons and arresting all suspicious people."

After Zhao Liuhuo found out the news, he ran back and said this to his good brother Ye Hao, whom he had just met not long ago.

After hearing this news, Ye Hao had no reaction on his face, but he was very distressed in his heart.

Because it is clear that the reason why the Daying Dynasty made such a big fuss must be that someone among their batch of trial participants did something particularly outrageous.

He was also implicated.

Fortunately, he was lucky. He met Zhao Liuhuo just after entering the Daying Dynasty, and he saved him out of kindness when he was being chased by monsters.

Yes, there are monsters in the Daying Dynasty as well.

It's just that these monsters were expelled from the Daying Dynasty, and the Dynasty was guarded by the Demon Suppression Division, so they are very rare.

Only in the wild land outside the Daying Dynasty will there be a large number of monsters.

And Zhao Liuhuo, who Ye Hao saved, is the young patriarch of the Yueshan Tribe in the wild land.

With the help of the other party, Ye Hao easily got a pass to the Yueshan Tribe.

And because of his special skills, he can simulate the breath of Gu cultivators, so that he will not be easily seen through.

With these two points, he can't say that he is very safe in the Daying Dynasty, but ordinary exploration is really not difficult for him.

During this period, Ye Hao has heard more than once that there are cultivators in Zhongzhou who were captured by the Demon Suppression Division.

Among them, the worst ones were even captured by the patrol envoy of the Demon Suppression Division.

Although Ye Hao was confident that he could escape from the patrol envoy.

But it would be best if he didn't meet those guys.

"Brother Ye, these people from Daying Dynasty should be trying to catch you, right?"

Just when Ye Hao was thinking about it, Zhao Liuhuo on the side whispered to him.

Hearing this, Ye Hao did not deny it and nodded directly.

"Sure enough."

If it were a normal Daying person, after knowing Ye Hao's identity, he would definitely find a way to hand him over to Daying Dynasty.

But Zhao Liuhuo is not from Daying Dynasty.

It can even be said that the people in the wilderness still have a deep hatred for Daying Dynasty.

That is, Zhao Zhongming suppressed the wilderness with force for nearly five hundred years, forcing them to sign a peace agreement with Daying Dynasty.

Otherwise, the people in the wilderness might continue to fight with Daying Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Liuhuo didn't care about Ye Hao's identity as a demon.

He just said these things, not to report Ye Hao, but just out of curiosity.

"Brother Ye, don't worry. As long as you don't expose yourself, we, the Yueshan tribe, will testify for you, and those lackeys of the Demon Suppression Division won't be able to find you."

"Besides, the enemy of our enemy is our friend, isn't he?"

"I have been unhappy with the Daying Dynasty for a long time, and I am naturally happy to see anything that can cause trouble for them."

After saying that, Zhao Liuhuo became happy.

If you only look at these, you would think that this is a simple and honest barbarian, with no ulterior motives.

But Ye Hao knew very well that Zhao Liuhuo was the same as himself, a guy who looked brainless but was full of ulterior motives.

The two of them were a perfect match.

"Brother Ye, we are about to arrive in the imperial capital. Do you think we can pass the test of Wentian Palace and enter Bailu Academy?"

"It should be possible. After all, if you and I can't enter the academy, then there should be few people in this world who can enter."

"I think so."

Bailu Academy, this is an entrance test that Wentian Palace will open in the Daying Dynasty every hundred years.

Those who pass it can study in Bailu Academy for a period of time.

If the grades are excellent, they can even enter Wentian Palace in turn.

Therefore, every time Bailu Academy is open, it is a grand event for the entire Daying Dynasty.

Countless young talents will gather here.

Although the Daying Dynasty has been turbulent during this period, the Daying Dynasty is the Daying Dynasty, and Wentian Palace is the Wentian Palace.

Bailu Academy will not postpone or suspend this academy assessment because of the Daying Dynasty.

The main reason why Ye Hao is so concerned about participating in the Bailu Academy assessment is that he thinks that the wine worms needed by Gu Yue Zhenxian may be in Bailu Academy, or in Wentian Palace behind Bailu Academy.

After all, the wine worms that the immortals want will naturally brew immortal wine.

And the only place that can brew immortal wine is Wentian Palace.

In the current situation where there are no clues, Ye Hao instinctively feels that Bailu Academy and Wentian Palace are the key to finding the wine worms.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao sighed: "It's already July, and the academy exam will start in August."

"With such a strict curfew now, it seems that we will have to spend some time to catch up with the academy exam."

Zhao Liuhuo nodded and said: "Yes, time is a bit tight, I hope there will be no accidents."

"But July is my zodiac month, I think we will definitely be able to go smoothly this time, don't you think, Brother Ye?"

Hearing this, Ye Hao smiled and said: "July Liuhuo, August Weiyang, according to what you said, how about you change your name to Weiyang next month? This way you can also go smoothly next month."

"Hahaha, forget it, otherwise I will have to change my name for all twelve months of this year?"

After laughing, the two left the inn and started heading towards the imperial city.

And they were not the only ones going to the imperial city at this time.

Some people were also attracted by the White Deer Academy and set off to the imperial city.

Juechen from Xiaolei Temple, Xing Li from Wushen Mountain, and Yi Hanqing from Qingyun Sect are among them.

After all, Ye Hao is not the only one who guessed that there might be a drunkard hidden in Wentian Palace.

Others can guess it as well.

And Bailu Academy is the best way for them to get in touch with Wentian Palace at this stage.
