Elf's hand

The cold wind is howling, and the land is vast and vast.

The two figures stood there alone, no more than twenty meters apart, looking at each other.

The eldest prince Su Zhengqian stood beside the tall tomb, motionless, his dull eyes looking at Chu Haoren.

Facing the corpse of the eldest prince Su Zhengqian that suddenly emerged from the ground with a strange aura, Chu Haoren was so surprised that he almost used his strongest killing move at the first moment, but he still held back the pain in his heart. With murderous intent, he looked at this strange corpse with all his vigilance.

What exactly is going on?

Chu Haoren was at a loss. He noticed that there was no trace of fighting spirit in the body of the eldest prince Su Zhengqian. However, there was a special and strange aura in his body. It was this strange aura that supported him. With this body that has no signs of life.

At the same time, Chu Haoren did not detect hostility from this body. It felt like the two of them were strangers.

This is what makes Chu Haoren feel most strange and confused.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoren also knew that he could not stay for long. A green light appeared in his palm, and strands turned into ivy and gush out, instantly wrapping around this weird body and putting it into the silver wing ring.

"go!"

Chu Haoren's figure moved and turned into a fleeting light, leaving only a void afterimage, heading towards the imperial capital.

With Chu Haoren's current level of cultivation, he was extremely fast. It only took him a moment to cross a hundred miles and arrive at the gate of the imperial capital.

However, what surprised Chu Haoren was that the guards in the imperial capital had been strengthened several times, and the leaders of these guards, as long as they held important positions, had been replaced by strong men in the Dou Wang realm. At the same time, he also noticed that There are several powerful fighting saint auras, densely distributed in important corners of the imperial capital, and the number is no less than a hundred.

Saint-level powerhouses are the backbone of the Dongyun Empire. Normally, most of the Saint-level powerhouses from the Su family, the royal family of the Dongyun Empire, and other major families restrain their auras and work quietly in the family. Internal training.

They basically don't care about family fights and national affairs outside, because at their level, families naturally provide them with abundant resources, and all they have to do is practice and practice again until they break through and become the God of Fighting.

As one of the backing forces of the Dongyun Empire, these saint-level experts are also one of the strategic forces that deter other empires and forces. They will not be easily dispatched unless absolutely necessary.

And now, this power hidden behind the scenes of the Dongyun Empire has actually appeared!

What big thing happened? How could the Dongyun Empire dispatch so many saint-level experts?

Chu Haoren was extremely surprised.

At this time, the appearance of Chu Haoren immediately attracted the attention of the imperial capital guards. Several fighting kings immediately increased their vigilance, and a figure of a fighting saint appeared on the top of the city, assuming a posture of starting a battle at any time.

Chu Haoren's current state is the first level of achievement stage, which is equivalent to the first level of fighting saint, which is enough to arouse the vigilance of these people.

The fighting saint had a stern look in his eyes and shouted loudly: "The imperial capital is under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Who are you?"

Because of the eldest prince Su Zhengqian, Chu Haoren was delayed for less than ten seconds. Unfortunately, in such a short period of time, he had lost the whereabouts of the fourth prince Su Zhenghao and others. Naturally, there was no way for them to testify now.

Fortunately, Chu Haoren thought that he still held the token of the fourth prince Su Zhenghao in his hand, and took it out of the silver wing ring.

"I am Chu Haoren who is with the Fourth Prince. May I ask if the Fourth Prince and others have entered the imperial capital?"

The fighting saint glanced at the token, his hostility was gone, and he said in a deep voice: "The fourth prince and others have already gone to the palace. Since you are Chu Haoren, please come with us!"

Chu Haoren frowned, "Will I come with you?"

The fighting saint paused and said in a gentle tone: "Master Chu, don't be nervous. The fourth prince has ordered that Princess Su Xueyan is in danger. If you come, I will take you there immediately!"

Is Seolyan in danger?

Hearing this, Chu Haoren's body suddenly trembled, and he blurted out: "Where is it?"

"plz follow me!"

The fighting saint didn't say a word, and immediately flew out and headed towards the imperial capital.

Chu Haoren immediately stood up and followed closely behind.

The two of them had extremely high cultivation levels and extremely fast speeds. In the blink of an eye, the fighting saint appeared above the Shengmei Chamber of Commerce with Chu Haoren, pointing to a courtyard and saying: "Princess Su Xueyan is inside. Mr. Chu, please come! I still have responsibilities, so I have to take my leave!"

After saying that, the Fighting Saint quickly left the headquarters of the Shengmei Chamber of Commerce without looking back and returned to guard the city gate.

Chu Haoren knew this courtyard, it was the courtyard where the beautiful saint was. Thinking that Su Xueyan was in danger, his figure suddenly flashed out and forced his way into the courtyard.

When he touched the strange energy fluctuation on the surface of this courtyard, the scene in front of Chu Haoren changed, and then he came to the world of the beautiful Saint.

In this fantasy space world, Su Xueyan was lying quietly in a lotus. A pool of clear water gurgled out from the inside of the lotus, soaking into Su Xueyan's body.

The beautiful Saint was standing beside the lotus, waving her jade hands gently, and wisps of green breath flowed out from her fingertips, lingering around Su Xueyan's body like smoke and mist, blending into the clear water. , immersed inside Su Xueyan's body.

Chu Haoren took a step forward and looked nervously, but thought of something and did not move.

The Beautiful Saint seems to be using the special methods of the elves to treat Su Xueyan.

Time seemed to be extremely long, even frozen at a certain point in time.

Chu Haoren suppressed the tension and concern in his heart, endured his temper, and waited quietly.

I don’t know how long it took, but I saw the beautiful Holy Lord let out a sigh of relief. There was a hint of fatigue on her beautiful cheeks. She glanced at Chu Haoren with a charming look,

"I have soaked her body in elven holy water, and used my natal spiritual thoughts to maintain her soul, temporarily putting her into sleep. However, her injuries are too serious and she can only be maintained in her current state. Once Without the holy water, her injuries will immediately worsen and her body and soul will be destroyed."

The beautiful saint sighed softly and said eloquently.

Chu Haoren couldn't help but clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "I wonder if there is any way to save Xue Yan?"

"Unless the Nine-Life Sacred Fire Tree fuses into her body, and then uses special techniques to fuse her soul with the Nine-Life Sacred Fire Tree, then she can use the Nine-Life Sacred Fire Tree's special means to achieve destruction and rebirth." After pondering for a moment, the beautiful saint spoke slowly.

Chu Haoren's eyes sparkled and he said in a deep voice: "I will go to the Elf Clan right away."

"Not urgent!"

The Beautiful Saint stopped him and said softly: "The Nine-Life Sacred Fire Tree is not so easy to get, and now that the Dongyun Empire is changing its throne, it is not appropriate for you to leave. Su Xueyan is here with me, and with my The strength also ensures that she won’t have any problems for three to five years.”

Hearing these words, Chu Haoren breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, nodded and said: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency, Your Majesty. The number of guards in the imperial capital has suddenly increased several times. I wonder what big event happened?"

The beautiful saint said softly: "In fact, the eldest prince and the fourth prince plotted against each other and finally chose to duel at Tayun Mountain. The royal family Su family has already mastered this matter, but because of some special reasons, they did not stop it. In addition, After some investigation by the Sword Saint and the royal Su family, they finally found out the information about Su Dai."

"Oh?" Chu Haoren couldn't help but be moved. The words of the beautiful saint made him greatly surprised. The royal Su family actually watched the two princes fighting? Seeing so many strong men fall? And Emperor Su Dai finally has news?

"What happened to Su Dai in Shuiyue Cave was caused by some mysterious power from the Demon Realm."

"Demon Realm?" Chu Haoren was surprised.

"That's right!" The beautiful saint said leisurely: "The Demon Realm is an extremely weird and special area in the world. There are some terrifying existences in it. Under normal circumstances, only saint-level strong men are qualified to enter it and interact with those in the Demon Realm. Fight against those beings to hone their combat power and cultivation, thereby improving their realm. The original owner of the Demon Realm was the Demon Clan that the human race was frightened by. Unfortunately, the Demon Clan changed and they withdrew from the Demon Realm, turning the Demon Realm into an inhumane place. Human area.”

Chu Haoren looked clear. He had heard of the evil name of the Demon Realm before, but he never knew much about the Demon Realm. Only now did he understand that the Demon Realm was previously the sphere of influence of the Demon Clan.

"The people living in the Demonic Realm today are terrifying beings that are neither human nor beasts, and it was those terrifying beings that attacked Su Dai."

Chu Haoren couldn't help but ask: "Why do those terrifying beings in the Demon Realm attack His Majesty Su Dai?"

The beautiful Saint sighed softly and said eloquently: "The reason why they did this has to do with the eldest prince." Speaking of this, she looked as if she was recalling something, "Decades ago, the eldest prince Su Zhengqian was still He once went to the Demon Realm to practice as a fifth-grade Fighting Saint. During that three-year training, he improved rapidly and was promoted to an eighth-grade Fighting Saint. It caused a great sensation at that time, and everyone thought that The eldest prince is extremely talented and is the best candidate to be the next emperor."

Decades ago? It takes three years to advance from the fifth-level Dou Sheng to the eighth-level Dou Sheng. This speed is extremely fast, because after reaching the holy level, it will be extremely difficult to improve at every level, and it is normal to take decades.

After a moment of surprise, Chu Haoren immediately thought of what the eldest prince said before his death, which seemed to be somewhat related.

"After the Sword Saint's secret investigation, we finally discovered something. It turned out that the eldest prince had received help from a terrifying existence in the Demon Realm during that operation, which was why he had made such great progress. When Su Dai got into trouble, it was the eldest prince who leaked it. Give the message to the terrifying existence." The beautiful saint said slowly: "As long as Su Dai dies, the eldest prince can inherit the throne, and the terrifying existence in the Demon Realm can control the Dongyun Empire through the eldest prince to realize their ulterior motives. conspiracy."

Hearing this, Chu Haoren couldn't help but feel agitated. He finally understood what the eldest prince's words before his death meant.

The treasonous thing the eldest prince said was betraying Su Dai. In addition, he also knew that he was controlled by the powerful man in the demon realm, so after a difficult struggle, he could obviously kill the fourth prince and get the throne, but he finally chose Dead!

"When you fought in Tayun Mountain, the Sword Saint returned to the Imperial Capital and brought back this news. At the same time, he also brought back the news that Su Dai was killed."

Chu Haoren was silent. This result was normal. If Su Dai fell into the hands of the Demon Realm, he would basically die.

"Now, the royal Su family is furious. For this matter, the Su family is urgently discussing countermeasures and may launch a war against the Demon Realm." The beautiful saint said.

Chu Haoren's eyes flashed, "War?"

The Dongyun Empire is going to start a war with the Demon Realm? This will cause shock to the human race and cause endless bloodshed.

"As for whether there will be a war in the end, no one knows, but one thing is that the conspiracy in the Demon Realm was exposed, which aroused the anger of the Dongyun Empire royal family, and because this news was brought by the Sword Saint, it is also certain that To a certain extent, it promotes one thing.”

After saying that, the Beautiful Saint looked at Chu Haoren and said calmly: "This matter is a good thing for the entire human race."

"A good thing?" Chu Haoren was surprised.

The beautiful Saint said with a smile: "There are eight major forces in the human world, among which the most powerful and mysterious force is the Saint!"

"I have also heard that every member of this organization called Saint seems to be a Saint-level powerhouse." Chu Haoren said.

"Yes!" said the beautiful saint, "the power of the saint is much stronger than anyone imagined. Most of the members are saint-level, and these members are distributed among the major forces in the human world, and even Other races!”

"Could it be that in the Dongyun Empire, besides the Sword Saint, there are people who are also members of the Saint?" Chu Haoren asked in surprise.

The Meihuan Saint Ancestor nodded and smiled: "Not only the Dongyun Empire, but also the royal Su family has people joining the Saint. However, this matter is very hidden. No one knows about it except himself."

Chu Haoren couldn't help but gasped. This saint's organization was so amazing that it could even recruit saint-level experts from the royal Su family.

"If the Dongyun Empire can cooperate with Sheng, it is not impossible to take action against that terrifying existence in the Demon Realm!" said the beautiful Saint.

Chu Haoren was awe-inspiring. The two major forces joining forces could really give that strong man a head-on blow.

At this time, the beautiful Saint showed admiration and said with a smile: "I underestimated you for actually stepping into the Saint level in such a short time. In the next time, the fourth prince will inherit the throne, and you You have played an indispensable role in this change of throne, and you can take the opportunity to develop your own strength."

Chu Haoren nodded. To compete with the elves, you must have your own strength. Now is indeed a good time.

"Su Xueyan, just rest assured, as long as I am here, nothing will happen to her. When you become stronger, go to the elves to find the Nine-Life Sacred Fire Tree to save her."

"it is good!"

Chu Haoren also made up his mind. Going to the Elf Clan with his current strength would be like flying a moth into a flame and seeking death. He could only try his best to improve his strength and wait for the day when he has absolute strength.

After some exchanges with Holy Master Yu Meihuan, Chu Haoren withdrew.

After a brief exchange with Mei Ya'er, he left the Shengmei Chamber of Commerce and returned to the fourth prince's residence with the seriously injured Ku Xin Xue Mei.

The Fourth Prince's Mansion was blocked by a group of powerful teams, and Chu Haoren was allowed to enter only after showing his token.

Seeing Chu Haoren coming back, everyone in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Su Qingling

Reading in sections 275

The others were all overjoyed. They only knew that the fourth prince planned to deal with the eldest prince today, but they did not know what the situation was like outside.

The royal family suddenly sent many powerful men to strengthen the imperial capital's defense force and sealed off the fourth prince's residence. This made them even more uneasy and they had no idea what was going on.

"You don't have to worry, the eldest prince is dead, and His Royal Highness the fourth prince will inherit the throne soon." Chu Haoren said calmly.

Su Qingling and others were immediately overjoyed, and the whole house was filled with jubilant sounds.

An indifferent chuckle flashed across Chu Haoren's lips. Although he killed the eldest prince this time, the fourth prince also paid a heavy price. He ignored Su Qingling and others and turned back to his residence.

Seeing that Chu Haoren was not in a high mood, Tai Tan said in a low voice, "Brother Chu, has something happened?"

Chu Haoren forced a smile, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Well, Brother Taitan, I have something for you to do."

Tai Tan immediately patted his chest and shouted loudly: "If you need anything, just give me orders!"

"The martial law in the imperial capital will only last a few days. After the ban is lifted, you will go to Jiangnan Kingdom." Chu Haoren said: "Bring them my news to make them feel at ease. In addition, let them be prepared to be crowned king." .”

"Be crowned king?"

Titan's eyes widened in surprise.

Chu Haoren nodded, "That's the title of king!"

As soon as the Fourth Prince Su Zhenghao ascends the throne, the first thing he will do is to reward the meritorious officials lavishly. Among them, there are not a few who are crowned kings and nobles, and Chu Haoren is naturally not missing among them.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare immediately. As soon as the martial law is lifted, I will go to Jiangnan Country immediately." Tai Tan said with great joy.

Chu Haoren nodded and said solemnly: "After you arrive at the Chu family, you will stay in the Chu family and listen to the arrangements of the king at any time. At the same time, please protect the Chu family. In order to kill the eldest prince, the fourth prince mobilized all his Saint-level powerhouse, so the Chu family is very empty now. Once the eldest prince’s heirs or subordinates attack the Chu family, they will have no power to resist.”

"I understand." Titan nodded.

After giving some more instructions to Tai Tan, Chu Haoren asked Tai Tan to prepare while he returned to the room.

"Hey, I have suffered a huge loss because of you. The body of my Juexing Crab Claw Tree has been severely damaged, and I don't know how long it will take to recover!" Dry Heart Blood Plum shouted.

Chu Haoren said calmly: "I will help you recover as soon as possible, Yaya, Sisi."

"Master!" Yaya and Sisi's voices sounded at the same time.

"I want to establish my own power now, and I don't need any help from you. Now that the fourth prince's mansion is sealed, you can avoid the spiritual sense search of the saint-level powerhouse because of your different auras. You go find Jiang Gong now! No matter what method you use, bring him to me immediately!" Chu Haoren ordered cleanly.
