Chapter 107: The Second Battle of the Dynasty

If Cao Wenzhen and Nie Sha, two of Ning Zhongyu's confidants, were captured, even if Ning Zhongyu recovered and came out of seclusion later, they would be the first to know about this and take action against him.

As long as he can completely control Ning Zhongyu, the entire Da Ning Dynasty will be his, and it will not be difficult to replace Ning Zhongyu's position.

But thinking of Ning Tianbao, Lu Changjing frowned again: "Didn't Ning Tianbao interfere in the affairs of the court?"

"Ning Tianbao is obsessed with breaking through the shackles of gods and demons. He has been practicing in seclusion these years to hone his spirit and energy, and doesn't care about anything else in the outside world." Cao Wenzheng said with a smile, "As long as Ning Zhongyu helps him search for divine objects that can help him break through the shackles of gods and demons, Ning Tianbao doesn't care about anything else."

"Moreover, the national treasury and the royal secret treasury have been emptied over the years. Ning Tianbao also knows that he will not be able to obtain any auxiliary divine objects in a short period of time, so he doesn't even pay much attention to this matter. At least there will be no problem in the next few years."

"After a few years, your majesty will have definitely taken down Ning Zhongyu. By then, through Ning Zhongyu, there will be a chance to deal with Ning Tianbao. Of course, the premise is that Ning Tianbao has not broken through the shackles of gods and demons."

Lu Changjing nodded and put his worries aside. A few years would be enough for him to break through the shackles of gods and demons. By then, he would no longer have to be afraid of an old man hiding in the Xiaoling Mausoleum who was afraid to break through the shackles of gods and demons.

Then the next main target would be the Ghost Hand Grandma Nie Sha. As long as she could be captured, Ning Zhongyu would be deceived.

As for the fact that Ghost Hand Granny is too loyal, his soul-changing technique is about to be perfected and can modify the memory of his enemies.

At that time, we only need to modify the memory of Ghost Hand Granny to turn her from Ning Zhongyu's loyal servant into his mortal enemy.

Moreover, according to what Cao Wenzhen said, Ning Zhongyu was able to save the Ghost Hand Granny back then as a result of an advance plan. Lu Changjing could magnify this plan and make him begin to question Ning Zhongyu.

He even blamed Ning Zhongyu for the fact that Ghost Hand Granny was being hunted down, so that he could easily make her betray Ning Zhongyu.

As for whether Ning Zhongyu practiced the Soul-Picking Secret Scripture, at least after asking him indirectly, Cao Wenzhen did not know about the existence of the Soul-Picking Secret Scripture.

Either Ning Zhongyu did not practice it, or he hid it very deeply and never used it, so no one knew about it.

But according to Cao Wen Zheng, just one Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra was enough to overwhelm Ning Zhongyu, and his spiritual sea was under tremendous pressure, so he needed elixirs to support him every time he practiced.

The pressure of the Soul-Picking Secret Sutra is even more terrifying than that of the Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra, so Ning Zhongyu most likely did not practice the Soul-Picking Secret Sutra. After all, he did not need to practice the Soul-Picking Secret Sutra for the time being.

This made Lu Changjing feel a lot more at ease. He knew very well how terrifying the Soul-Picking Secret Sutra was, having used it himself.

If Ning Zhongyu also practiced and reached a certain level, he might be able to discover the abnormality through contact with Cao Wenzhen and Ghost Hand Granny.

It would be easy if he hadn't practiced. Moreover, even if he had practiced, with Ning Zhongyu's current level of spiritual cultivation, it would be difficult for him to steal the ideas of Cao Wenzhen and Ghost Hand Granny.

From Cao Wenzhen, Lu Changjing also learned about Ning Zhongyu's current true cultivation level. His Qi training level had reached the sixth-level master level, and his body training level had just broken through the fourth-level master level.

As for his spiritual cultivation, he is still hovering at the third-level Grandmaster level, and there is still a long way to go before he can break through to the fourth level.

Lu Changjing's cultivation and strength have completely suppressed Ning Zhongyu.

Although Cao Wenzhen was full of doubts about this, he was quite tactful and did not ask any questions. Lu Changjing also had no intention of telling him.

"Clap clap clap..."

After slapping Cao Wen Zheng a few more times, Lu Changjing asked him to get the resources and treasures hidden outside, then summoned Cao Xiuyuan and told him that he had captured Cao Wen Zheng and, by the way, lifted his soul-picking technique.

Lu Changjing told him not to be afraid of Cao Wenzheng, because Cao Wenzheng didn't know that he had betrayed him before. In the future, Cao Wenzheng would listen to him obediently and would never dare to disobey him again, and the Cao family would be saved.

As punishment, all of Cao Wenzhen's assets were confiscated and he was punished frequently.

Cao Xiuyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and was filled with gratitude to Lu Changjing, the fake emperor. Even if he didn't have the soul-picking technique in the future, he would be as loyal as Cai Gu.

Lu Changjing also informed Cai Gu about this matter, telling him that he didn't have to worry so much about being discovered in the future, and Cai Gu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to plan to take down the Ghost Hand Granny. Only by solving this hidden danger can Lu Changjing truly take charge of the Daning Dynasty and do what he wants to do.

Three years later, when Ning Zhongyu comes out of seclusion, Lu Changjing can also present a great gift to him as soon as possible.

Compared with Cao Wen Zheng, Nie Sha is far superior in both strength and trump cards, and can even compete with the King of Southwest.

Moreover, Nie Sha has mastered many sinister methods of the devil. In terms of comprehensive combat power alone, he can be ranked among the top few in the entire Daning Dynasty.

Ning Zhongyu regarded her as his support, not only because she was more loyal than Cao Wenzhen.

In order to plot against Nie Sha, Lu Changjing made more thorough preparations.

Polish the Soul-Picking Hook, enhance the strength of Cao Wenzhen, Jin Longyu and Qingqiu Xiaoyu, and give each of them one or two talismans to increase their strength.

In order to prevent Qingqiu Xiaoyu from being discovered, Lu Changjing gave her his own magic talisman and asked her to take action at the critical moment.

After everything is ready, it is time to choose the right time and find a good reason to bring Nie Sha here.

After waiting for many days, I finally got an opportunity.

Jin Longyu arrived at the imperial study first, pretending to report matters to His Majesty the Emperor.

Qingqiu Xiaoyu was hiding deep in the imperial study, also under the jade bed.

Cao Wenzhen hurriedly went to find Nie Sha, the ghost-hand Popo, who had just returned a few days ago. At this moment, she was in the Imperial Hospital supervising the imperial doctors to prepare medicine according to the prescription.

This prescription is a folk remedy that Nie Sha obtained from other dynasties around him. It is said that it can repair damaged dragon roots. Ning Zhongyu has also taken many similar folk remedies before, but unfortunately none of them repaired his dragon roots.

This folk remedy is another try to see if it can work.

Lu Changjing also realized at this moment that when Ning Zhongyu was trying to reach the realm of Cang Yang Shu, he was too eager for quick success and this led to problems and damaged his spiritual veins and Dantian.

I didn't expect this guy to be so talented and aptitude that he has already practiced the Cang Yang Technique to this level. Lu Changjing still has a long way to go before he can achieve great success.

"Nie Weishi, there's a problem in the Imperial Study, and I need you to go there."

Cao Wen Zheng found Nie Sha and told her quietly.

In addition to being Ning Zhongyu's personal bodyguard, Nie Sha is also the Minister of Guard Affairs of the Da Ning Dynasty. Nominally qualified to command the thirty-six guards of the imperial city, she is an important figure in Baiyujing, which shows the trust Ning Zhongyu has in her.
