Chapter 1122: Blood Sacrifice
"Blood sacrifice! It's kind of interesting. ”
Wang Cheng thought for a while, returned to the digging hole, and asked the Zhige Daoist and others who were holding the dried corpse of Huang Ze with a sad and angry face, "What do you know about the treasure refined by the Great Xia Empire?" Tell me everything you know, or if I find out that you don't report it, you will also be a dry corpse. ”
Accompanied by Wang Cheng's voice, a chill that even the soul could freeze rose from the bottom of everyone's hearts, letting them know that Wang Cheng was by no means joking, but most of them were dazed, obviously they didn't know, only two people had a slightly strange complexion, namely the silver-haired witch and the Zhige Daoren.
Wang Cheng is the best at observing people's hearts, and naturally sees the situation of the silver-haired witch and the Zhige Daoist, snorted coldly and did not speak, but the silver-haired witch trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "I don't know much, I only heard the sect master mention it, it seems that when this treasure was being refined, the emperor of the Great Xia Empire caught a large number of masters on the rivers and lakes, as for what to do, it is not clear." ”
"Okay, you will be the foreman in the future, you don't have to dig yourself, go and supervise them to dig."
Wang Cheng nodded, but the silver-haired witch didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she heard this, her dignified grandmaster actually became a foreman?
Then, Wang Cheng looked at the Zhige Daoist again, and the Zhige Daoist said slowly: "The last emperor of the Great Xia Empire did catch many masters on the rivers and lakes, I remember that the sect had a record, at that time everyone still wanted to go to the rescue, but before they could act, the thunder fell and destroyed the Great Xia Empire, according to our Wujue Sect's later investigation, this treasure seems to be a very evil demon treasure of the sect, it is said that it fell from the upper realm, not complete, so the Great Xia Emperor wants to make up for it." ”
"Is it like this? If I'm not mistaken, it should be a large number of masters to sacrifice that treasure in blood, and now this blood sacrifice formation still exists, and all the people who die here, their lives and souls will be absorbed by this formation, and continue to complete that treasure. ”
Wang Cheng squinted slightly: "This treasure is really extraordinary, it has not been destroyed by the thunder, and it is really not a treasure of your plane." ”
"Blood sacrifice?"
Zhige Daoren and the others were very shocked when they heard this, and then looked at Huang Ze's corpse on the ground, and suddenly understood what the so-called blood sacrifice meant, and immediately shuddered.
"It's a blood sacrifice, the reason why the Demon Emperor deliberately wanted to arrest Concubine Xiu and bring so many righteous demons to the national capital, and Emperor Yonghe was completely passive and defensive, because they all knew that if they wanted the treasure to be finally completed, they needed a large number of masters to sacrifice, no wonder they were not in a hurry."
Wang Cheng sneered: "Except for the Martial Saint, the rest of the people are actually just sacrifices. ”
"What, we're all sacrifices?"
The silver-haired witch and the others were furious, and the silver-haired witch gritted her teeth and said: "I knew that the demon emperor was uneasy and kind, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel, I must warn the sect master ......, hey, the sect master shouldn't know, right?" ”
"What do you say?"
Wang Cheng sneered, there were five Martial Saint Sect Masters from the Demon Gate, if they didn't know that there were really ghosts, but Martial Saints like Zhige Dao people really didn't know.
All of a sudden, the people of the Demon Gate scolded angrily, although it is common for the Demon Gate to conspire and frame, but like this, the sect master took the disciples of his own sect as sacrifices, even the Demon Gate couldn't accept it, whether it was the Demon Emperor, or the Yonghe Emperor, the Demon Gate Martial Saint, they were too ruthless.
It's a pity that these people from the Demon Sect know very little about the Demon Emperor, including the silver-haired witch, except for the sect master, everyone else only knows that the Demon Emperor suddenly appeared, and the nine major sects all support it, as for the others, they haven't even seen the true face of the Demon Emperor.
"For the success of the blood sacrifice, I think Emperor Yonghe and the Demon Emperor will massacre the people who come in, you should be glad to be able to dig a hole for me, as long as you are not lazy, what if I protect you? But if you don't dig holes well, then there is no value in living. ”
Wang Cheng said lightly, at this moment, everyone's mood is completely different from before, no longer resistant, no longer resentful, but full of gratitude, and then desperately dig a hole, so that the silver-haired witch is speechless, this eighth prince's understanding of people's hearts is really terrible, if he really tells the sect master, the last person to be cheated will definitely be the sect master, right?
"Huh? Pit Sect Master? This is good, tell the sect master the false news of the eighth prince, whether the sect master is defeated by the eighth prince, or the eighth prince is controlled by the sect master, anyway, I will not suffer, but can take revenge, I am so loyal to the sect master, I actually took me to the blood sacrifice, this revenge is not avenged, I will not be willing for the rest of my life. ”
The silver-haired witch's eyes flashed with a crazy light, but she didn't know that Wang Cheng had everything in her eyes, he secretly sneered, but he didn't care, and asked the Zhige Daoist, "Where did your magic weapon come from?" ”
"It was left to the Martial Sect after the Patriarch of the Kai Sect ascended."
Zhige Daoist looked like a broken jar, and showed great loyalty: "Our Martial Sect has a history of thousands of years, and has gone through four dynasties, and in the era when the ancestor of the Kai sect ascended, it was relatively easy to achieve a martial saint, even the ascended ones often appeared, and at that time, the ascending ancestor could also give us the treasures of the upper realm." ”
"But just this one, it should be very difficult, and as time goes by, I don't know why, we have completely lost contact with the upper realm, and the number of ascendants has gradually decreased."
"It's a decrease in the vitality of heaven and earth, right?"
Wang Cheng understood what was going on, and he asked again, "Then what about other sects, do they also have such magic weapons?" ”
"Only the big sects with a long history have them, there should be a few of them in the Demon Sect, and the head of the Luofu Sword Sect who came this time also has eighty percent, as for Mr. Zhulin, it should be gone."
Zhige Daoist replied, "But please note that Your Highness, the three empires all have magic weapons. ”
Wang Cheng was surprised, even he didn't know about this: "Huh? ”
"The Great Zhou Empire and the Great Shang Empire shouldn't have to worry, they only sent a martial saint to investigate the situation, I don't think they will bring a magic weapon, the magic weapon is the treasure of the town, it can't be moved lightly, if it weren't for the appearance of the Demon Emperor this time, I wouldn't have brought this magic weapon."
Zhige Daoren said: "However, the magic weapon of the Ming Empire, Emperor Yonghe, will definitely be brought with him, and this is the capital of the Ming Empire, where the dragon veins gather, his own strength is invincible in the world, plus the magic weapon, except for the mysterious Demon Emperor, there are really not many people who can compete with him, of course, His Royal Highness must be one of them, with the strength of His Highness, even if it is Emperor Yonghe, he will not be His Highness's opponent." ”
Wang Cheng snorted when he heard this, he knew that the Zhige Dao people were a bit of a discordant and a little agitated, but he didn't say anything, because he did have absolute confidence, here, or this plane, when he broke through to the Martial Saint, there was only one enemy left, the Martial Dao Saint, and no matter how powerful the other natives were, it was nothing to him.
Having said that, although Wang Cheng is the governor of Dongtianwei, the matter of magic weapons belongs to the top secret of the Heavenly Grace Continent, and it is not known if it is not a martial saint, so even he didn't know it at first, but he didn't expect that there was really some background, of course, these so-called magic weapons are at most the most basic artifacts, and Wang Cheng won't really care much.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with studying more, so Wang Chengchao stretched out his hand: "Bring that magic weapon to me to see, in the next battle, I still need you to work together, can this magic weapon still be used?" ”
Although he was reluctant, the Zhige Daoist still handed over the shuttle-shaped magic weapon to Wang Cheng, and at the same time said: "This magic weapon can only be used by people who practice the martial arts of our sect, and after each use, it can only be used again every other day." ”
"Is that so?"
Wang Cheng studied this magic weapon, although he had no cultivation memory, but his cognitive memory of the treasure was still there, and he finished analyzing the magic weapon after a few efforts, it was indeed an artifact level, and there was a restriction on it, and there must be a corresponding true qi to use it, but now Wang Cheng has no way to use this magic weapon.
Therefore, Wang Cheng threw the magic weapon back to the Zhige Dao people, and he was not worried at all that other people had magic weapons, but would the martial arts saints also have magic weapons?
The answer is yes, not to mention anything else, the halberd that was taken out from the back is only afraid that it is also a magic weapon, otherwise it will not be able to be taken out of thin air, and it will not be possible to hide anywhere, and this is the home of the martial arts saint, there may not be only one, but no matter what kind of magic weapon the martial arts saint has, it is definitely not comparable to his own chaos bead, even if it is only half one.
"Interesting, no matter what, I'm the only one who wins, but since we're going to start the blood sacrifice, don't be too anxious."
Wang Cheng was pondering, and Zhige Daoist suddenly said: "Your Highness, the blood sacrifice is imperative, otherwise the treasure will not be born, do you need me to kill those people nearby for Your Highness?" ”
This sentence is not a joke at all, now he wants that treasure to be born more than anyone else, otherwise how can he have a chance to get that treasure? If he couldn't get that treasure, wouldn't his apprentice die in vain, and if he couldn't get that treasure, wouldn't he be infamous and controlled by others for the rest of his life?
Wang Cheng glanced at Zhige Daoren and said, "No need, besides, you can't leave my side, you know?" As soon as I find out you're not with me, I'll kill you right away, you know I can do it. ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhige Dao respectfully agreed, but he sneered in his heart, thinking that he could completely control himself without letting himself leave, it was a dream, no matter what, he would definitely get rid of his control and get the treasure.
"Dig, hurry up and keep digging, otherwise you will only be sacrificed to the blood sacrifice."
The silver-haired witch urged loudly, but she was very conscientious, Wang Cheng was very satisfied with their work attitude, looked up at the ceiling, and smiled coldly, it is estimated that it is also very lively at the moment.
……
In fact, the palace of the Ming Empire is not lively, not lively at all, it can even be said to be dead silent, the crown prince and the six princes, who usually quarrel every day, are very quiet at this time.
Because of the earthquake, the palace of the Ming Empire was full of cracks, and many ordinary people died, but at this time, the masters of the three parties of good and evil all entered the cracks, and the situation in the palace was basically restored, but at this time, it was not the queen and the prince with the highest status who were in charge, but the commander of the Imperial Forest Army and the new governor of Dongtianwei, Zhang Gong, who took out the holy decree and announced that they would take over everything.
The crown prince and the six princes, as well as a large number of people in the royal family, including the queen, are in the apse, and they are not allowed to leave in the name of safety, which should have made the prince and the six princes mad, but they are not in the mood to be mad now, the reason is very simple - they find that what they are fighting for has no value at all.
The crown prince and the six princes are naturally fighting for the position of the crown prince, the problem is that what Emperor Yonghe said before has reached them, and they already know that Emperor Yonghe wants to be the emperor of eternity, so what is the point of who is the prince, it will never be corrected.
In this case, it is no wonder that the crown prince and the sixth prince are so depressed and so quiet.
"Big brother, I finally understand now, my father deliberately pushed me out to fight with you, lest you have too much power, and my father didn't plan to pass on the position to you and me at all."
The sixth prince said with a wry smile, it was the first time he spoke to the prince so peacefully, and the prince did not sneer, his face was also bitter, and said: "From childhood to adulthood, my father, queen and mother have to tell me that I am the successor of the empire, and ask me to study hard and build this empire in the future, but I only find out now that this empire does not need me at all." ”
The two rivals looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they also found that their group of subordinates who seemed to be loyal seemed to have secretly retreated a lot now, obviously to draw a line with them, this is normal, the reason why those subordinates followed them was so that they could ascend the throne in the future and be prosperous and rich, but now they have no hope, so of course they must retreat a little farther, so as not to cause the displeasure of Emperor Yonghe.
In fact, not only the crown prince, but also the six princes, all the sons of Emperor Yonghe are quite lonely in their hearts, and that chair will never belong to them.
"If only my father failed down there."
No one said this idea, and no one dared to say it, but every prince had it in their hearts, once Emperor Yonghe failed, then they would still have a chance, but Emperor Yonghe obviously expected something, and sent his most trusted commanders and governors to put them all under house arrest here, and they couldn't do anything to affect the battle situation in the underground palace.
Of course, even if no one stops them, they probably won't be able to affect it, and without the strength of the Martial Saint, what can they affect?
The commander of the Imperial Forest Army followed Emperor Yonghe from birth to death, and even saved Emperor Yonghe's life, and was extremely loyal, and although Zhang Gong retired for sixteen years, he still secretly helped Emperor Yonghe do many shady things, and he was also a person trusted by Emperor Yonghe, otherwise he would never let him take charge of Dongtianwei again at this time!
It's just that Emperor Yonghe himself didn't expect that one of the two people he trusted the most had betrayed.
