Chapter 268 The High Priest

Two soldiers of the Imperial Holy Realm from Lion City rushed to Lion King Ridge to report the news.

When they arrived at Lion King Ridge, they saw that the battle there was over.

The Lion King Ridge Formation broke, and there was a mess everywhere, with monster beast bones all over the mountains, and a place of death.

The mosquitoes in the dark sky were flying in droves towards the black gourd in Zhao Jiu's hand.

Zhao Xuelong's eyes were full of incredulity and surprise, and he greeted him and said: "Your Highness the Ninth, you, you are too strong. One person destroyed Lion King Ridge?"

Zhao Jiu covered the mouth of the gourd and said: "Lion King Ridge has been destroyed, come back and ask someone to take it here."

"Yes!" Zhao Xuelong said excitedly, and then curiously: "How is the Lion King?"

Zhao Jiu glanced at the black gourd in his hand and said: "It has regular Taoist scriptures to protect its body, it is not so easy to kill, but if it is sucked into my black gourd, next, let the mosquitoes slowly concoct it, no matter how many means it has, it won't last for a few days. Wait a few days before I give you its yang god."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Ninth." Zhao Xuelong said excitedly.

Zhao Jiu glanced at him and said: "No need to thank me, I promised your father, and I will naturally take care of you."

"Yes!" Zhao Xuelong said.

"The Black Lotus Divine Platform has not been found yet, but it is troublesome." Zhao Jiu said with a gloomy face.

"The Black Lotus Divine Platform has fallen into the hands of the Great Heavenly Dynasty's Refinement Master. See you next time, I'm afraid I'll be refined by them." Zhao Xuelong was worried.

"Master of Refinement? Hmph, the Black Lotus Divine Platform is not so easy to refine, it is isolated by some kind of power, as long as it is exposed, it can be sensed by us, and at that time, it can be taken back." Zhao Jiu said.

"Why did such a powerful Black Lotus God Platform be given to the Lion King in the first place?" Zhao Xuelong said curiously.

"It's not for it, it's to refine it. As long as it can't help but forcibly refine the Black Lotus Divine Platform, it will be cursed by the Black Lotus Divine Platform and then refined by the Black Lotus Divine Platform. But I didn't want this to happen. You send someone to continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the Black Lotus Divine Platform." Zhao Jiu said.

"Yes!" Zhao Xuelong responded.

At this moment, two Imperial Holy Realm soldiers flew over.

Zhao Xuelong wondered: "Why are you here?"

"Your Highness, Marshal, it's not good, Hong Zhan has led people to attack Zhenshi City. We can't stop it at all, they seem to be searching for something." A soldier said anxiously.

Zhao Xuelong said angrily: "Hong Zhan actually dared to go to Lion City to make trouble? He is looking for death!"

Zhao Jiu's pupils shrank and said: "Not good!"

Shout! Zhao Jiu walked straight to the Lion City.

Zhao Xuelong and his party saw that Zhao Jiu was panicked and knew that the situation was wrong, so they quickly chased after him.

In the distance of Lion King Ridge, in a hidden mountain forest, several big green secret guards have been staring at the previous shocking mosquito and demon battle.

When he saw Zhao Jiu flying away, one of the secret guards said: "Quick, urge the corpse worm and notify my lord."

----

Just now, the town of Lion City.

Hong Zhan and his party broke through four secret places in a row, but still did not find Zhou Jingxuan.

Only the last secret place remained, which was also Zhao Jiu's retreat, where there was a huge barrier, and no one knew what was inside.

"Broken!" Zhao Shenfeng broke his breath.

A large number of bone spears hit the barrier, and the bronze skeletons also slashed the barrier with their swords, and the barrier trembled for a while, but it was not broken.

Jiang Dongyi flew to Hong Zhan's side and said, "Your Majesty, the underworld corresponding to this place also has a huge barrier, and an army of skeletons is stationed to guard it."

"Oh?" Hong Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Not far away, Zhao Shenfeng shouted: "What a strong barrier, come again."

The group bombarded the barrier again, rumbling, the barrier was still shaking, but there was no way to break it.

Hong Zhan said in a deep voice: "Stop."

Zhao Shenfeng and the bronze skeletons stopped instantly.

"Jiang Dongyi leads people to guard the four directions. Zhao Shenfeng covers my vision." Hong Zhan said.

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

Jiang Dongyi led the bronze skeletons to resist the soldiers rushing from the outside world. Zhao Shenfeng waved out a large amount of white mist to cover Hong Zhan's vision.

Hong Zhan covered his body with primeval essence, and his body jumped into the barrier.

The barrier was very thick, he drilled for a while before penetrating the barrier, and as soon as he entered the inside, his expression froze.

But he saw that inside the barrier, there was a huge void hole, and he could see at a glance that it was a hole leading to the underworld. At this moment, countless black mosquitoes flew out of the underworld.

The black mosquitoes exuded a thick black gas all over their bodies, and their bodies were extremely bloated.

In mid-air, there were eight huge black lotus platforms, and these black mosquitoes flew to the lotus platform, stabbed into the lotus platform with their mouthparts, and spat out the energy and black energy in their bodies into the lotus platform, and then the black mosquitoes became smaller.

The black mosquitoes that exhaled black gas came in groups and flew back to the underworld from the void hole.

"Black Lotus Divine Platform?" Hong Zhan was surprised.

The eight black lotus platforms floating high in front of him were exactly the same as the black lotus god platforms trapped in the space between his eyebrows. There are actually eight?

It was clear at a glance in the barrier, there was only one palace with the palace door wide open, and there was no figure of Zhou Jingxuan at all.

Zhou Jingxuan was not here, making Hong Zhan breathe softly, and at the same time, a curious look flashed in his eyes.

What's going on here? However, there are eight Black Lotus God Platforms, isn't it a godsend?

He was about to step forward when he suddenly found a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the Black Lotus God Platform in the center, wearing a golden silk black robe, wearing a black lotus monk's hat, and clasped his hands, like an old monk in meditation.

Looking at the monk's appearance in front of him, Hong Zhan's pupils shrank. He knew this person, no, to be precise, he had seen this person's portrait.

The high priest of the Great Feng Imperial Dynasty. In the Great Feng Emperor's Dynasty, the power was monstrous and the strength was unfathomable.

How could the high priest be here?

"The high priest has fallen into deep meditation?" Hong Zhan's heart moved.

At this moment, the high priest seemed to feel something and moved his fingers.

Hong Zhan secretly shouted badly, his body jumped up, and he fled to the outside world.

As soon as he left the barrier, he saw Zhao Shenfeng shouting: "Your Majesty, Ye Yu is sending a signal, Zhao Jiu is coming back."

But I saw a streamer in the distance outside the city, blowing up and scattering at high altitude.

"Withdraw!" Hong Zhan said.

The group quickly rushed to the outside of the city, Jiang Dongyi and others used swords to block the pursuing soldiers, Zhao Shenfeng rushed out of the Lion City with Hong Zhan, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the sky in a flash.

After cutting off the soldiers, the black-robed men burrowed into the secret place where the bones and mountains and forests intertwined, and disappeared in front of everyone. But they destroyed the black robe and all fled into the underworld.

"Where did they go?" The soldiers couldn't find anyone and were suspicious.

At the next moment, a streamer shot from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the Lion City, and its figure stopped, and with a bang, a strong wind was set off.

"His Highness the Ninth is back."

"Meet Your Highness the Ninth."

……

The soldiers shouted in surprise.

Zhao Jiu ignored the soldiers, he looked around and quickly flew towards the barrier where he lived. He reached out and pinched out a spell, the barrier cracked a thin slit, he jumped up, stepped in, and the barrier crack closed instantly.

Inside the barrier, Zhao Jiu looked at the high priest on a black lotus god platform, the high priest had woken up, his eyes were calm, but there was a huge sense of oppression.

"I feel that a strange aura appeared in this barrier just now." The high priest said in a calm tone.

Zhao Jiu's face changed, and then he said: "I'm sorry, I went out to do something just now, I thought that the barrier here could block Xiao Xiao's prying eyes, but I didn't want to be a calculation specifically for me."

"Oh?" The high priest showed a puzzled expression.

Zhao Jiu told what happened before.

The high priest frowned and thought deeply: "Hongzhan? Great Heavenly Dynasty?"

"Yes. You said that a strange aura has come in. Our formation is not something that anyone can break, there must be a top formation master who has mixed into the city early and studied this formation for a long time before it can suddenly attack today." Zhao Jiu said.

The high priest pondered for a while and said, "Fortunately, it didn't affect me, you check carefully."

"Okay!" Zhao Jiu nodded and said.

"Also, don't leave again while protecting the Dharma for me." The high priest said.

Zhao Jiu nodded and said: "This time it was an accident, and I will not leave again."

The high priest nodded and continued to meditate.

Zhao Jiu stepped out of the barrier, and Zhao Xuelong and his party also came back, Zhao Jiu arranged to thoroughly investigate the fine work in the city.

----

Soon after, Lion King Ridge.

Hong Zhan stood in the dark in a forest, looking at the countless corpses of Lion King Ridge, listening to a secret guard's report.

"It was too scary at that time, the mosquito colony was like an army, obeying orders to kill the enemy, and we didn't even dare to run away, for fear of exposing our bodies and attracting mosquitoes." The secret guard said with lingering fears.

"The sky is full of black mosquitoes, and even the Imperial Holy Realm can't stop it?" Hong Zhan was surprised.

"Yes, only five Imperial Holy Realm monster beasts ran away, the other monster beasts were wiped out, and even the Lion King was sucked into the black gourd." The secret guard said.

"What a Zhao Jiu." Hong Zhan said solemnly.

At this time, there was a roaring battle sound not far away.

But when Zhao Xuelong sent someone over to clean up the mess, he happened to meet Zhao Shenfeng and Leng Bao. The two sides are snatching the treasures of Lion King Ridge.

Because Leng Bao was familiar with Lion King Ridge and even more familiar with the commanders of various monster beasts, he had already picked up a large number of treasures at this moment.

However, more Lion Town troops arrived, making it impossible for Zhao Shenfeng and Leng Bao to pick up treasures easily.

"Tell them it's time to go." Hong Zhan said.

"Yes!" The secret guard said.

Then, a fireworks signal soared into the sky.

Zhao Shenfeng and Leng Bao saw the signal and quickly flew away from Lion King Ridge, and Hong Zhan and his party also quietly left.

A few days later, in a cave in a hidden valley.

Hong Zhan crossed his knees and meditated, studying the Black Lotus God Platform in the center of his eyebrows, but unfortunately, his soul power was extremely peculiar, as soon as his soul power entered the Black Lotus God Platform, the Black Lotus God Platform was dissolving in a self-destructive manner.

He refined with primeval essence, but it didn't have much effect, and as long as there was no soul power isolation, the Black Lotus Divine Platform would tremble, as if someone was manipulating the Black Lotus Divine Platform in the air.

His face changed, and he quickly stopped refining the Black Lotus Divine Platform, isolating it again in the blood lake in the space between his eyebrows, he didn't want to be sensed by others.

"Can't refine it? It's really troublesome." Hong Zhan frowned.

At this moment, he felt that the formation outside the cave was triggered, and he opened the formation suspiciously.

But I saw Ye Yu at the entrance of the cave step forward and said, "Meet the emperor."

"What's wrong?"

"I just found out that Zhao Jiu gave the Lion King's Yang God to Zhao Xuelong, and Zhao Xuelong was refining the Lion King's Yang God into his body, causing great movement in the city." Ye Yu said.

"Lion King Yang God?" Hong Zhan's eyes lit up.

"One more thing, Jiang Dongyi and his party have been inquiring about the behavior of black mosquitoes and high priests in the underworld for the past few days, and there have been results, Jiang Dongyi wants to report to the emperor in person." Ye Yu said.

"Okay!" Hong Zhan nodded.
