Chapter 271 Cao Wenzheng's Great Opportunity

Ning Zhongyu had some problems not only physically but also psychologically.

This made Ning Zhongyu a little frightened, and naturally he didn't want to see anyone.

Not to mention Ning Tianbao, who is still preparing to break the shackles of gods and demons and is too lazy to pay attention to the ups and downs of the outside world.

As long as the enemy did not reach the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Daning, he would not do anything.

Even if they really attack, it is possible that Ning Tianbao will continue to hide in the Da Ning Xiaoling Mausoleum.

I left Yangxing Palace again and walked in the palace. I found that the atmosphere was quite peaceful and there was no messy scene.

It seems that Prince An's rebellion did not cause much impact and has been suppressed.

I didn't expect that Cao Wenzhen, Nie Sha and others were so capable that they could easily suppress such a big incident. It was a pity that I was worried for a long time and came out to check the situation.

Not long after walking, he met Peng Xuanzhi who was passing by nearby. Seeing this newly promoted concubine, Ning Zhongyu was stunned for a moment.

It was not until Peng Xuanzhi had passed by that Ning Zhongyu came back to his senses. He could not help but exclaim in admiration. No wonder Cao Wenzheng had said before that this year's beauties were the best in thousands of years. He was not lying.

I had wanted to come out and take a look before, but I had some realizations at the time and postponed it. I should have come out and taken a look earlier.

Ning Zhongyu didn’t know that if he had come out at that time, he would not be able to go back now.

At that time, Lu Changjing deliberately asked Cao Wenzhen to tell this matter in order to lure him out, but unfortunately Ning Zhongyu did not fall for it and did not leave Yangxing Palace.

But what surprised Ning Zhongyu was that Peng Xuanzhi's cherry lips were also a little swollen. Ordinary people couldn't see it, but for a master who had practiced to his level, it was very obvious.

This reminded Ning Zhongyu of Lin Yixin, Tan Qingyun and other girls he had seen before. Their mouths were always swollen. Could it be that they had another verbal battle with the fake emperor, so their mouths became swollen?

Ning Zhongyu also asked Cao Wenzhen about this matter, wanting to understand what the verbal battle was all about.

However, Cao Wen Zheng's words were vague, and the general meaning was that it was because of the quarrel with the fake emperor, which also confirmed Ning Zhongyu's guess.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the fake emperor's actions would affect his reputation, Cao Wenzhen did not dare to say much.

But they don't know that he is the Emperor of Da Ning after all, and he still has a broad mind. Let alone verbal battles, he can tolerate any excessive things.

After he comes out of seclusion, I want to witness his verbal battles and see if I can learn something. After all, I'm afraid he won't be able to visit the harem in the short term.

Thinking of this, looking at his soft good brother, Ning Zhongyu's eyes reddened and he almost shed tears again.

If I had known this earlier, I should not have practiced the Cang Yang Technique. I didn't expect that this secret technique was so difficult to practice and so dangerous.

The two failed attempts to achieve great success have turned him into the miserable state he is in now. Ning Zhongyu feels a little regretful when thinking about it.

Walking in the picturesque palace, Ning Zhongyu was still complaining to himself with tears in his eyes. It was not until he saw the Southern Barbarian Saint Nan Lisheng that his tears stopped.

Looking at Nan Lisheng's graceful figure and the little jade snake crawling on her body, Ning Zhongyu was also somewhat amazed, thinking that she was worthy of being the Saint of the Southern Barbarians, and she really had a unique charm.

That kind of barbarian style is something that the beautiful women of Daning do not have, and it is quite special.

There are red marks on her neck. Is she sick too?

Ning Zhongyu looked a little unhappy when he thought that it was because of these red marks that he failed in his second attempt to break through.

He also asked Cao Wen Zheng if he knew about the red marks on the bodies of the concubines in the harem and whether these concubines were sick. Cao Wen Zheng gave a vague answer.

They said that was roughly the case, and also that it was caused by a fight among the concubines in the harem.

Fighting?

Ning Zhongyu's whole body trembled, and he suddenly thought of something, and a strange look flashed across his face.

Could the so-called fighting be the lovey-dovey behavior between the concubines in the harem? The red marks were quite similar to this.

No wonder Cao Wen Zheng was embarrassed to explain it in too much detail. It turned out that it was caused by the closeness between the concubines in the harem. Ning Zhongyu also felt excited when thinking of the affectionate scenes of the concubines.

However, his good brother was still in a state of despair and there was no movement at all, leaving him helpless.

But it’s a bit embarrassing to say it, because it is because of him that the concubines in the harem have to do so.

It's a bit of a waste, and also a bit of a sin.

But there's nothing we can do about it. As long as they don't mess around, we can just forget about it.

But I didn't expect that even the Imperial Noble Consort, Noble Consort, Duan Consort and others could do such a thing. It's really jaw-dropping.

Not long after, Ning Zhongyu saw Princess Wen Ding Jin Mingxi again, and he praised her again.

Although the fake emperor had many flaws, he had a good eye and helped him to recruit many qualified concubines.

No, these concubines and beauties were not his own, some were sent from foreign countries, and some were taken in by the empress dowager and others, so this fake emperor was still useless.

After walking around the palace and looking outside, he found that everything was normal and that Prince An's rebellion had little impact. Ning Zhongyu then felt relieved.

Finally, he arrived at the imperial study and found that there was no one outside. The secret training room at the back was locked and could not be opened at all.

I don’t know what the fake emperor is doing, most likely he is sleeping and resting.

I originally wanted to call him out and scold him, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. After all, the court is stable now, and this fake emperor has played a certain role, so I just let him be.

Cao Wen Zheng had already taught him a lesson many times, and had even instructed him to give him a few more beatings. There was no need for him to do it himself again.

Then let's take a look at the memorials and see the recent domestic situation.

Ning Zhongyu came to the dragon case and began to look through the memorials from this period, but he didn't know that in the secret retreat room a hundred meters away from him, Lu Changjing was helping the imperial concubine Tang Qingyi to shave her hair and cleanse her marrow.

This ancient beauty that also made Ning Zhongyu's heart beat, facing the heavy impact of the power of heaven and earth, the energy of the nine suns, the energy of gods and demons..., has collapsed and can only passively endure it.

At the same time, her foundation, talent, and cultivation level are growing rapidly and are about to reach a higher level.

Occasionally, Lu Changjing would feed her some imported delicacies to help her improve her practice. Although she didn't find grapes, she had greater contact with them.

Only in this way can the effect of the marrow cleansing secret technique be maximized and help Tang Qingyi gain more benefits.

Lu Changjing and Tang Qingyi were exchanging verbal battles, enjoying imported delicacies, and occasionally having closer contact than looking for grapes... Outside, Ning Zhongyu was concentrating on reading the memorials, having no idea what was happening inside.

Although he also smelled the fragrance of a woman in the imperial study, it was normal to have such a fragrance when he thought about the concubines coming here to pay homage to the emperor from time to time.

The two sides were separated by a wall made of sacred stone, each busy with their own things, unaware of the passage of time.

Lu Changjing didn't know that he had accidentally changed his attitude, even though it was unintentional. Being so close to someone else's wife in front of her husband, even though he didn't wear a hat, it was not much different.

Ning Zhongyu didn't know that Tang Qingyi, the person he had been thinking about so much, was in there receiving baptism from Lu Changjing. No, it should be the hair removal and marrow cleansing.

This is to help his imperial concubine grow and develop better, which is also what he cannot bring to Tang Qingyi. Even if he really advances to the realm of gods and demons in the future, Ning Zhongyu will not do this to Tang Qingyi and others.

Even after Ning Zhongyu left the imperial study, Lu Changjing had not stopped removing the hair and cleansing Tang Qingyi's marrow. At this moment, Tang Qingyi's Qi training level had already broken through to the seventh-order master level.

His body and mind cultivation had also reached the sixth-order master level, and it wouldn't take long for him to break through.

His spirit and energy surpassed Ning Zhongyu in every aspect. If Ning Zhongyu knew about this, I wonder how he would feel.

After seeing off Tang Qingyi, whose steps were unsteady, Lu Changjing went back to practice and did not pay attention to the memorial.

These things are now handled by San Gong, and he only needs to deal with some more important ones, which takes less than a cup of tea every day.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much time to practice and improve himself, and naturally he wouldn't pay much attention to the memorials here.

With absolute strength, no matter what happens within the government or the government, Lu Changjing is confident that he can suppress it, so he doesn't care that much.

So when Ning Zhongyu came out of seclusion for the third time, he was still like an invisible man and no one knew about it.

Lu Changjing once again missed an opportunity to catch Ning Zhongyu, but it didn't have much impact. The worst that could happen was that he could just wait a little longer. Ning Zhongyu couldn't cause any trouble anyway.

Although Ning Zhongyu couldn't cause any trouble, Cao Wenzhen was about to cause some trouble.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Quack, quack, quack..."

"Wow wow wow..."

……

In an underground cave thousands of miles away from Baiyujing, the eunuch chief Cao Wenzhen laughed loudly, making all kinds of strange noises from his mouth, and he looked like a madman.

The reason for this is simple: Cao Wenzhen has made a breakthrough and has been promoted to the ancestor of gods and demons.

Originally, he thought that he was too old and didn't have many years left to live, so he never thought about breaking through the realm of gods and demons.

However, too many things happened in the past few years, causing him to fall from a high position as the chief eunuch and the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard... to a lowly position. Many of his real powers were taken away from him, and he could only be reduced to a thug, and was often dealt with by the fake emperor Lu Changjing.

Although he appeared respectful on the surface, deep down in his heart, Cao Wen was unconvinced and quite confused.

In this case, even if I die in the future, I will probably die with my eyes open.

So Cao Wenzhen has been secretly looking for an opportunity to turn things around, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't find one.

In the end, he only found a solution that was not a solution, which was to break through the grandmaster level and step into the realm of gods and demons.

But even the old emperor Ning Tianbao could not break through the shackles of gods and demons, let alone him.

Firstly, he had no auxiliary magical objects, and secondly, his spiritual cultivation was not up to par, so Cao Wenzhen almost despaired.

However, he did not expect that when he was sent out to hunt down demons and monsters, he accidentally entered an underground cave and by chance found a pool of thousand-year-old stalactite.

This thousand-year-old stone milk can quickly improve one's spirit, energy and vitality. It is a rare treasure and is also effective in breaking through the shackles of gods and demons.

So after much consideration, Cao Wenzhen decided to give it a try, so he took the thousand-year-old stone milk and raised his energy and spirit to the tenth level of perfection.

Unexpectedly, he had a sudden realization during this process, so he decisively broke through the shackles of gods and demons, and luckily succeeded in breaking through, stepping into the realm of gods and demons and becoming a first-level god and demon.

Thinking about his experiences over the past few days, Cao Wen Zheng always had a dreamlike feeling. Could it be that even God was blessing him and wanted him to successfully break through and take back everything that belonged to him?

Otherwise, how could he encounter opportunities one after another? It was just like a dream, and he stepped into the level of gods and demons with great momentum.

Thinking of this, Cao Wenzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

In the past, he was only a grandmaster and was no match for Lu Changjing, the fake emperor. Now that he has entered the realm of gods and demons, isn't he still a match for the fake emperor?

Lu Changjing's strength is at most at the demigod level. In front of real gods and demons, he is not even an ant.

This time when he returns to Baiyujing, he will definitely kill the fake emperor. No, he can't kill him. Killing him would be too easy for him.

He wanted to keep Lu Changjing and teach him a lesson. Cao Wenzhen would treat Lu Changjing the same way he had treated him before, and he would pay him back tenfold or a hundredfold.

As for the soul-stealing technique that Lu Changjing left in his sea of ​​​​soul, he had already eliminated it and it disappeared completely.

When removing it, Cao Wen Zheng could sense that the spiritual power on it was close to the demigod level, but had not yet reached the demigod level.

It is really not difficult to get rid of it, but Cao Wen Zheng didn't know that he only removed the surface layer of soul-stealing technique, which is only at the grandmaster level.

The real soul-stealing technique is hidden in the three souls and seven spirits, which is at the level of gods and demons, but it will not be revealed under normal circumstances.

Lu Changjing did this to avoid his true cultivation and strength being discovered, so he deliberately left behind a grandmaster-level soul-stealing technique as a cover-up.

Cao Wen Zheng obviously mistook this sleight of hand soul-stealing technique for the soul-stealing technique that Lu Changjing had planted in his spiritual sea. After removing it, he felt that he could rest easy.

But he didn't know that when he got in front of Lu Changjing, he would find out how wrong he was. Lu Changjing didn't even need to move a finger to scare him to death.

At this moment, Cao Wenzhen, who thought he had escaped from Lu Changjing's control and had calculated his approximate strength through soul-stealing techniques, was ready to return to Baiyujing.

Lu Changjing didn't know about this. After all, Cao Wenzhen's current cultivation level was too low and his strength was too weak. He was not qualified to be his soul-stealing slave, so he just cast a soul-stealing spell on him.

The one on the surface is used to control Cao Wen Zheng, and the one hidden deep in the soul is a trump card to be used at the critical moment.

However, the soul-stealing technique was far inferior to the soul-picking technique, and Lu Changjing was unable to understand the thoughts of the soul-stealing slaves. He only had a rough sense that Cao Wenzhen had broken free from the soul-stealing technique outside, which he used as a decoy.

Lu Changjing was a little surprised by this. He didn't expect that Cao Wenzhen was so capable that he could even break free from the grandmaster-level soul-stealing technique he unleashed.

Although he is only at the grandmaster level, with Lu Changjing's current level of cultivation and release skills, those grandmasters are not able to break free.

At least one must have a semi-god level of cultivation and the assistance of special treasures to have a chance of breaking free.

Either you break through the shackles of gods and demons and become a god and demon warrior, then you can easily get rid of this illusion and soul-stealing technique.

However, Cao Wenzhen is already so old that the possibility of a breakthrough is not great.
