In a hidden mountain forest of white bones.
Hong Zhan used the power of the King of Hell to mobilize the power of the rules to help Jiang Dongyi and his party restore the bronze skeleton body. However, this time the injuries were too severe, not only the bones were broken, but their spiritual fire was also dimmed countless times.
"We are incompetent and may need to recuperate for some time." Jiang Dongyi said.
"Take a good recuperation, you did a good job this time." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!" Jiang Dongyi nodded and said.
"Let's go, go back first." Hong Zhan said.
All the bronze skeletons responded and flew into the sky with Hong Zhan.
During the flight, Hong Zhan was also urging the Buddha's relics, transcending and purifying the spiritual fire fragments of the Xuanyin City Lord.
If you want the Buddha's relics to completely turn into a magic elixir, it is not enough, you need more high-level soul fragments.
------
Xuanyin City.
After the war, countless bronze skeletons wailed, most of them had fallen apart, and the rest had broken limbs, and their injuries were extremely bad.
Only two half-silver skeletons were better, but their bones were also cracked, and one of the half-silver skeletons was the first yin general of the Great Qing Emperor Dynasty, Zhao Sansi. It's just that at this moment, he didn't call him Zhao Sansi, he changed his name to Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian sat cross-legged and swallowed an elixir, which was bred in the underworld and could repair the soul, but this elixir was extremely rare.
Zhao Tian recovered from his injuries for a while, then immediately got up and shouted to the surroundings: "The skeleton man who is not injured is staring around, there are those who rebel and snatch the spiritual fire, and they will be killed without mercy."
"Yes!" A group of skeleton men responded.
At this moment, the broken bones were scattered all over the ground, and the heads of many bronze skeletons were shattered, and the spiritual fire escaped around, which was a great supplement for the low-level skeleton people. Many skeleton people are ready to move. However, Zhao Tian subdued a group of subordinates during this time, quickly commanded the army, and suppressed the unstable thoughts of all parties.
Zhao Tian picked up a skull, walked to a beam of spiritual fire, sent the spiritual fire back to the cranial cavity, and took out an elixir and handed it out.
"Brother Zhang San, although you and I have misunderstood before, this time you have done your best to protect Xuanyin City, and I admire your character, this is my treasured elixir, you should take it quickly, so as not to be swallowed by Xiaoxiao taking the opportunity to swallow your spiritual fire." Zhao Tian said.
The skull swallowed the elixir, and suddenly the spiritual fire skyrocketed countless times. Zhao Tian helped it retrieve the scattered bones again and gave it another elixir.
"Brother Zhao Tian, thank you." The bronze skeleton was extremely grateful.
Zhao Tian asked his subordinates to come down to protect this Zhang San, and then walked towards the other bronze skeletons.
At this moment, it was a great time to buy people's hearts, not only Zhao Tian was buying people's hearts, but also another half-silver skeleton commander.
There are not only two commanders in the city, but there are multiple commanders, but they are stronger.
The elixir is extremely precious, not because it is difficult to be born, but because this elixir is a great supplement to the skeleton people, no matter which skeleton man finds it, it will be hidden or swallowed immediately, and it is rarely taken out and circulated.
Zhao Tian had a lot of elixirs stored because of the support of Hong Zhan and the entire Hangu Forbidden Area.
In order for Zhao Tian to control a trusted army as soon as possible, Hong Zhan gave all the elixirs to Zhao Tian, so that at this moment, Jiang Dongyi and the others were injured and weak, and there was no elixir available for the time being.
Sure enough, in a short period of time, Zhao Tian won the gratitude of a large number of bronze skeletons.
Another half-silver skeleton was also delivering elixirs, and also won the gratitude of a large number of bronze skeletons.
Zhao Tian and it looked at each other and guessed each other's thoughts, but they remained calm and continued to buy people's hearts.
It didn't take long for streamers to shoot from afar, and it was the bronze skeletons in the nearby city who got the news and came to support.
After a while, not only a large number of bronze skeletons came, but also two silver skeletons.
The news that the Xuanyin City Lord was smashed by the red-robed man and that the scattered spiritual fire was taken away by Hong Zhan also came, and countless skeletons were in an uproar.
"Your Highness the Seventh is here." A loud shout sounded.
All the skeleton people looked over, but saw a man in a purple robe coming over, the man's eyes were like lightning, and his whole body was full of unstoppable momentum, he was the seventh prince of Dafeng, Zhao Qi.
"Meet Your Highness the Seventh." A group of skeleton men bowed.
"I haven't been here for a while, what happened in Xuanyin City?" Zhao Qi asked in a deep voice.
The skeleton people described the situation at that time.
After hearing this, Zhao Qi said with a gloomy face: "Hong Zhan? What a big courage."
"Your Highness, those three red-robed men and Hong Zhan don't seem to have gone all the way. There was also a red flame among them, and he even tore up with Hong Zhan for a while." A silver skeleton said.
Zhao Qi said in a deep voice: "Can you guarantee that they are not acting?"
"Huh?" The skeletons' voices froze.
"The spiritual fire of the Lord of Xuanyin City fell into the hands of Hong Zhan, and it has not been sent back until now, it seems that there are more bad luck than good fortunes. Next, let Gu handle it, Gu will definitely capture Hong Zhan and not let any of them go, you go back first." Zhao Qi said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The skeleton men responded.
For a while, the skeleton people who came from all over retreated.
------
A few days later, in Xuanyang City in the Yang World, a figure flew to the city tower from a distance.
"His Highness the Seventh is overwhelming and has captured Hong Zhan. Open the barrier of defending the city and welcome His Highness the Seventh to his triumphant return."
After confirming that there was no problem with the people reporting the victory, the soldiers on the city tower quickly called out to all parties and opened the barrier to defend the city.
The Lord of Xuanyang City got the news and took a large number of officials out of the city to greet him.
Not long after, dozens of soldiers wearing armor flew in the distance, and the leader was Zhao Qi.
In the hands of the two soldiers in the rear, a man was being escorted, the man was disheveled, covered in blood, his dantian was broken, obviously his cultivation was abolished, he was paralyzed, as if he was too weak to look up.
"That's Hong Zhan?" A soldier guarding the city said curiously.
The Lord of Xuanyang City stepped forward and said: "Your Highness the Seventh is powerful, and I admire you."
"How is the Demon Slayer Platform cleaned?" Zhao Qi asked.
"It's been cleaned." Xuanyang City Lord said.
"Send Hong Zhan to the Demon Slaying Platform, in front of the whole city, and punish him clearly, and let everyone in the world know that if you dare to violate my great seal, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" The Lord of Xuanyang City shouted in response.
The soldiers flew to a square in the city with a blood-covered "Flood Battle", and in the center of the square there was a huge round platform, which was the Demon Slaying Platform.
To the north of the square are fog-covered peaks and palaces, which are the stands of the government. There are also a large number of mountain peaks and buildings in other directions, for countless people to watch the execution ground.
In the underworld, the matter of Hong Zhan's murder of the city lord of Xuanyin has spread to the yang world, in the past few days, many details of Hong Zhan have been dug up, and the rumors are boiling, countless people are full of curiosity about Hong Zhan, at this moment they heard that Hong Zhan was arrested and brought to the execution ground, and they all came to watch.
Not long after, the Demon Slayer Square was surrounded by people on all sides. Looking at the prisoners on the demon-slaying platform, wrapped in a layer of barrier.
Everyone pointed at the disheveled prisoner, while listening to the judge counting Hong Zhan's charges, waiting for the time of execution.
At this moment, in a restaurant halfway up a mountain peak, in a private room isolated by formation, Hong Zhan was sitting at the window, drinking spiritual tea, and looking at the demon-slaying platform in the distance. Behind him stood Ye Yu and Zhao Shenfeng.
"This demon slaying platform is the largest execution ground in Xuanyang City, right?" Hong Zhan picked up his teacup and asked calmly.
Ye Yu nodded and said: "Yes, all the most heinous demons will be sent here to be executed to deter the four directions."
Zhao Shenfeng was surprised: "The prisoner's appearance is actually very similar to the emperor?"
Ye Yu said: "Making a fake face with a secret method is nothing, and I will do it too. The expression of this fake face will be very stiff and easy to goof. If the prisoner only has this expression, he can confuse the truth with falsehood."
Hong Zhan took a sip of spiritual tea and sneered: "This Seventh Highness is really a good method, replacing the real with a fake and executing him in public?"
Zhao Shenfeng wondered: "Your Majesty, is Zhao Qi deliberately luring us forward by catching a fake you?"
"It's not luring us, he's luring Jingxuan." Hong Zhan said coldly.
"What?" Zhao Shenfeng was surprised.
"It should be that Jingxuan came out to find her father, and they knew about it, so they deliberately set up a situation here to lure Jingxuan out and arrest Jingxuan." Hong Zhan said in a deep voice.
"How could such a secret matter be leaked?" Zhao Shenfeng was surprised.
"Maybe Zhou Wuyou leaked the news, or it could be that the news leaked elsewhere." Hong Zhan said.
"I understand, the planner deliberately spread the news that the emperor and Zhao Qi are here. Zhou Jingxuan is looking for her father, and the other is looking for the emperor, she will definitely come to Xuanyang City. Zhao Shenfeng's expression moved.
"Yes! The strategy is a bit clumsy, but it is very effective for those who are affectionate and righteous." Hong Zhan sighed.
"Zhao Qi is not Zhou Jingxuan's father, he is setting up a bureau to arrest Zhou Jingxuan? Isn't Zhou Jingxuan dangerous?" Zhao Shenfeng said.
Hong Zhan stared at the Demon Slayer Platform and nodded, a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to go out and shout a warning to expose this scam and let Zhou Jingxuan not be fooled?" Zhao Shenfeng said.
"No, the other party has already set up a net, and if you come forward, you will die." Hong Zhan said.
"But......" Zhao Shenfeng frowned slightly.
"I have already made arrangements, don't act rashly later." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!" Zhao Shenfeng nodded suspiciously.
At this moment, in a stand of the government government, Zhao Qi was sitting on a throne, staring at the fake Hong Zhan on the demon-slaying platform.
"Is anyone looking for an orphan?" Zhao Qi took a sip of tea and asked in a deep voice.
"No." A subordinate came forward to report.
Zhao Qi said in a deep voice: "Since there is none, let's execute it."
"Yes!" The subordinate said.
Soon, the judge on the demon-slaying platform shouted the word "execution".
Countless people stopped talking, looked at the executioner on the demon slaying platform and wiped the big knife, raised the big knife, and was about to cut it down.
Rumble! A heavenly thunder fell from the sky, shattering the barrier and striking the executioner's big knife. The executioner screamed, his whole body was charred, and he fell down in response.
At the next moment, a purple figure rushed out of the crowd and went straight for the Demon Slaying Platform.
"Presumptuous!" A group of soldiers roared and rushed over.
With a wave of his hand, countless thunder and lightning appeared out of thin air, as if forming a river of thunder and lightning, sweeping away. With a bang, the heavy blow caused all the soldiers to fly out backwards, screaming again and again.
Things that rob the Dharma field are rare, and many people have their eyes lit up and looked at them in amazement.
In the stands of the government office, Zhao Qi smiled coldly and said, "Are you here?"
