The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 18: Particularly Desolate

As night fell, although the palace was brightly lit, due to its huge area, some corners were still dim and silent, which seemed particularly desolate. Based on his perception of Yan Lingji, Zhang Liang soon found traces of Tianze and others in a dilapidated palace in the Han royal palace.

"This used to be the old royal palace of Zheng State!" After a moment's thought, Zhang Liang immediately recognized the origin of this place.

Han State established its capital in Xinzheng. "Xin" means newly built and "Zheng" refers to Zheng State. Zheng State was the first vassal state to rise in the Spring and Autumn Period. Its third monarch, Duke Zhuang of Zheng, was both wise and brave, making Zheng State the hegemon of the Central Plains. At that time, people often said "All the vassal states in the world are Zheng's party", which shows how powerful it was.

However, after Duke Zhuang of Zheng, there were no more such people among his descendants. The State of Zheng gradually declined due to internal strife and foreign invasions, and was eventually destroyed by the State of Han.

The current Xinzheng City was the capital of the Zheng State at that time. The Han Dynasty Royal Palace was also rebuilt on the basis of the Zheng Dynasty Royal Palace, and many of the palace buildings of that time were preserved.

Tianze and others were in this old palace complex of Zheng State. "Well, is there anyone?" Zhang Liang suddenly became alert and looked in the direction he was sensing, and found that Han Fei and Zi Nu had also come here.

"Han Fei is really not simple, he can always find the key from the subtle clues!" Zhang Liang secretly admired in his heart, but he ignored Han Fei and the others and quietly approached Tianze and others. He allowed Tianze to create chaos in Xinzheng just to find out how much Tianze knew about the secrets of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars. Now is the best time.

The ancient palace had long lost its former glory, and was filled with dust and in a mess. Tianze walked into a palace, looking for something, while Yan Lingji and the corpse-driving demon were on guard outside.

Zhang Liang frowned slightly. This palace was extremely desolate, and there wasn't even a patrolling guard around. It was quiet and silent in the middle of the night. The empty environment was fine for Yan Lingji, but it was tricky to drive away the corpse demon.

Zhang Liang felt that the corpse-driving demon was difficult to deal with, not because of his great martial arts skills, but because of his strange methods. He was good at using corpse poisonous insects, and there were poisonous insects everywhere around the palace.

The lethality of this kind of poisonous insects is not a threat to Zhang Liang, but their perception is very sharp. Even though Zhang Liang is very good at concealing his breath, a master-level expert would find it difficult to detect his approach, but they are powerless against the corpse poisonous insects.

The corpse Gu can sense the breath of life. Once someone approaches, the corpse Gu will notice it immediately, and the corpse-driving demon will naturally find out as well. Once he is alarmed, it will be difficult to spy on Tianze's secret.

"I should have known not to kill Vulture. Maybe he knew something. But Li Kai should know more. I have to ask him when I go back!" "But if I killed Vulture, how come Tianze was still able to find the old royal palace of Zheng?" Zhang Liang pondered and observed from a distance, hoping to find some clues from Tianze.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang noticed that the corpse-driving demon had a different expression. "Someone is coming!" The corpse-driving demon whispered. "Well, did they find me? Impossible!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but be surprised. "Don't worry, wait for the master to come out, and he will make the decision!" Yan Lingji smiled and looked in the opposite direction of Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang followed Yan Lingji's line of sight. "Damn it, is Han Fei here to cause trouble for me?" Zhang Liang cursed inwardly. He realized that he had been careless for a moment and had let Zhang Liang and Zi Nu approach nearby. Moreover, the two of them did not conceal their auras at all and were still talking in low voices, so they were discovered by the corpse-driving demon.

"But it's okay. With Han Fei messing things up, Tianze may not have time to search carefully. Maybe I will have a chance to find clues first!" Zhang Liang comforted himself.

At this moment, a man walked out of the old palace. It was Tianze, with an evil face, dark blue hair, red eyes, and six snake skull chains behind him, two wrapped around his arms, two around his waist, and two around his legs. He looked evil and cold, extremely scary.

Tianze's aura was extremely powerful, not inferior to Wei Zhuang and Ji Wuye, but completely different from the two. "Another master-level combat power!" Zhang Liang secretly evaluated in his heart.

Grandmaster and those below Grandmaster are two completely different realms. There is a saying in the martial arts world that the Grandmaster is like a dragon, and those below him are all ants.

Many half-step masters can fight against masters, and even hold their own for a short period of time. However, even if five or six of these powerful half-step masters fight against a master together, they will eventually be defeated.

Just like the previous battle between Zhang Liang and Ji Wuye, whether in strength or speed, Zhang Liang at that time was not inferior to Ji Wuye, but he could only tie with Ji Wuye for a short time despite his best efforts. If the fight continued, he would eventually lose. This was why Ji Wuye did not fight hard.

Looking at Tianze, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel apprehensive. Unlike the Hundred Poison King and the Wushuang Ghost, Tianze had really reached the level of a Grandmaster. In addition, he possessed the strange means of the Baiyue Land, so Zhang Liang didn't dare to say that he could definitely defeat him.
