Chapter 916: Chapter 49: Purple Gold Ancient Coin, Hongyun Coin, Heavenly Fortune Arrives! (Part 1)
He and Yang An were sworn brothers, yet he took advantage of selling out Yang An as a pledge of allegiance to Prince Liang.
Ultimately causing Yang An, a supreme genius, to fall into a desperate situation.
Now, Luo Zhen has been appointed as the King of Xier by Prince Liang, reaching the Third Grade Peak realm.
Ironically, Prince Liang also let him oversee Xier County.
This was once the garrison town of the Divine Might Army.
Although Yang An was killed by an Earth Witch from the Southern Desolate, the two armies were at war, each fighting for their own lord, and generals had long accepted the risk of death.
To die at the hands of the enemy would have been acceptable, but to be betrayed and killed by one’s own people, at this moment, Zhao Xing felt intense murderous intent towards King of Xier, Luo Zhen.
"I will end you with Yang An’s Sword Qi."
Buzz~
Zhao Xing once again slipped underground and then stealthily approached Xier County.
Thirty miles outside the city, there were military forts and outposts everywhere, as well as elite guards patrolling in the sky and underground.
In the underground space, a Fourth Rank magician was sitting cross-legged, meditating.
Suddenly——
"Hmm?"
The Fourth Rank magician suddenly yawned.
"Why am I so sleepy."
"It must be because I was too exhausted playing with Mrs. Liu last night."
"Tsk, that harlot is really something..."
Thinking this, the Fourth Rank magician lay down on the bed with a lewd grin and fell asleep.
"Sigh~"
A breeze appeared, and Zhao Xing materialized in the underground residence.
He stood by the bedside, quietly watching the sleeping magician.
Then, a stream of Soul Power entered the body of the Fourth Rank magician.
"So your name is Luo Le, and you’re Luo Zhen’s nephew."
When a person dreams, the contents of the dream often reveal a lot of information to them.
Zhao Xing quickly obtained the identity of this new person.
He stripped Luo Le of all his clothes and belongings.
"Sigh~"
A flame of Lesser Yang Fire blazed.
Soon, Luo Le vanished from this world.
"Illusion Technique, transform!"
Zhao Xing transformed, instantly taking the appearance of Luo Le.
Then he donned Luo Le’s clothes and took his belongings.
"Only those of High Order can see through my Illusion Technique."
"Together with my identity, I can freely enter Xier City."
Zhao Xing quickly exited the underground space and emerged above ground.
Openly, he led a group of clones flying towards Xier County.
As he entered the city’s defense array, the guarding officer halted him and asked,
"Marquis Luo, why have you returned to the city?"
"I have urgent matters to report to my uncle, let me in quickly!" Zhao Xing tossed up a token.
"Very well, very well." The guarding officer glanced at the token, then looked over the soldiers behind him, piling on smiles, "Please enter."
He was also Fourth Rank, but compared to Luo Le, their statuses were worlds apart; he dared not offend him much.
Watching Luo Le go in quickly with his people, the officer had some disdain in his eyes: "What urgent matter, must be off to see some women, hmph."
After entering the city, Zhao Xing headed towards the City Lord Mansion, as flying was prohibited within the city, he dared not make a scene.
"King of Xier, Luo Zhen, is at Third Grade Peak, his fighting abilities should match his realm," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"He’s a Martial Artist, skilled in the top-level martial skill ’Dominating Saber’, having mastered [Flame Sun Dominating Blade Slash] and [Black Water Dominating Saber Slash]."
"However, he has only practiced the martial skill to the degree of Top-level Fourth Transformation, without mastering the complete Third Grade Water and Fire True Intent, much less twisted any rules, otherwise Prince Liang wouldn’t have merely designated him King of Xier, but given him three county cities."
Mastering the complete Third Grade Water and Fire True Intent was the level of the Martial Artist who had attempted assassination, Jin Ye Wang.
Twisting rules, that was the level of the Bright Moon Prefecture Master, Ye Yuxong, a genius.
Ye Yuxong is already capable of creating top-level secret techniques, not fearing even the Second Grade.
However, the Second Grade Heavenly Fortune Realm needs enough strong Qi Fortune support.
Ye Yuxong did not have enough Qi Fortune to support his entry into the Second Grade Realm.
Under Emperor Jing, as much power as one wanted, one also had to bear equal responsibility.
Of course, Ye Yuxong himself was unwilling, and during the time spent with him, Zhao Xing often heard Ye Yuxong boast:
"If I decide to do more, His Majesty would immediately strengthen my Qi Fortune, elevating me to the Second Grade."
"However, I am quite lazy, and not subservient to Prince Liang; I didn’t join the Ping Man War."
"If sent to govern, I would find it troublesome."
Without doubt, Ye Yuxong’s Martial Arts talent is of First Tier level, the same as Long Xiao’s.
They both possess top-level perception, superior combat awareness, unwavering willpower, and their unique encounters and secret techniques offer augmentation; for instance, Long Xiao had consumed numerous Spiritual Beauties, Dragon Whale Blood, and Life Soul Fish.
The second tier includes ones like Jin Ye Wang, top-tier talent, training for decades, easily mastering the Five Elements True Intent, thus greatly increasing martial skill power, but with ordinary encounters, having consumed no extra treasures.
The third tier is the standard for Great Zhou, focusing solely on spells, martial skills reaching several transformations, without considering mastery of True Intent or having enhanced unique secret techniques.
The weakest are those forcibly elevated to ’weak Third Grade’ through Qi Fortune.
These individuals have only reached the Third Grade realm, while martial skills and spells remain at high-order levels.
Zhao Xing used both intelligence and Luo Le’s impressions for a dual judgment.
The King of Xier is just the standard Third Grade realm.
Within Prince Liang’s ranks, he’s already respectable, as the majority are weak Third Grade, few true geniuses follow Prince Liang in rebellion.
Xier County Government no longer resembles its past form.
The whole way, Zhao Xing couldn’t see anything familiar.
Luo Zhen seemed unwilling to leave any trace of Yang An.
The county government had few people coming in or going out at this time.
Zhao Xing specially chose 9 p.m. to arrive at the county government, with scarcely any military officers coming or going.
