Chapter 527, Dark Horse
With Zuo Zhen’s help, Mu Chen and others walked in the palace, which was much more convenient.
For the queen, the palace is the safest place in the entire Celestial Empire. Even if a million powerful troops are not injuring it at all, there is no need to be too strict even if Shangguan is not there.
The ability to control people's hearts and enslave the soul was an extremely rare secret technique even in ancient times, and few people heard of it. Today, Mu Chen has this ability, and no one will be wary of it.
This will be Mu Chen’s biggest reliance.
Taking advantage of the National Martial Arts held, the palace was limp and Mu Chen held a lot of information about the sky stairs. It would be extremely simple to install people in the palace and enslave opponents.
Not only the palace, but also the residences of major nobles, Mu Chen also controlled many key figures.
The only troublesome thing is that it takes time to use the secret technique and consumes a lot of soul power on Mu Chen. Mu Chen cannot control all key characters, so he can only choose the most suitable one after consideration.
Zhang Liang and others were responsible for selecting relevant people, and then Mu Chen took action to control them one by one.
There was also a little trouble in the middle, but Mu Chen was there, it would be harmless.
The lurking plan is underway in an orderly manner.
On the other hand, the national martial arts scriptures are also in full swing.
After several days of fierce battles, the list of 100 people on the Dragon and Tiger List has been released. Although it has not been sorted, based on the performance of the contestants, there are only a few people who are most qualified to compete for the top spot.
In addition to the four people from Lei Qingchi, there is also a powerful dark horse who shocked everyone with his high strength.
This person is the seventh prince of the empire - Shangguan Hao! He is the lord of Anding County, the prince who is known as the least valued by the emperor.
Shangguan Hao, although he is a prince, his biological mother is just a maid in the palace and has a humble status. When Shangguan Hao was ten years old, his mother passed away. Shangguan Jue thought about his bloodline, in order to prevent Shangguan Hao from dying.
Not understanding, Shangguan Hao was sent to the border and became the lord.
Although Shangguan Hao was nominally a lord, he had no real power and was unknown in Anding County.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed, Shangguan Hao seemed to have had an adventure, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he actually possessed the strength of the Divine Martial Realm, which surprised Shangguan Jue.
With his strong strength, Shangguan Hao successfully stood out from the competition and was awarded by Shangguan Jue.
For a time, Shangguan Hao also became a popular figure in the competition, and countless warriors were talking about Shangguan Hao's deeds.
In the VIP room where Zhenshan Palace is located, Dugu Yue and Shangguan Susu sit side by side.
"Su Su, why haven't the prince returned after so many days?"
"The servant recently reported that Tianxue had made a mistake in her cultivation and was a little uncomfortable. Her husband felt distressed, so he went back first. He should be back in the next few days."
Although the national martial arts are lively, it will not restrict the aristocrats from staying or leaving. It is no problem for Mu Chen to leave early.
Wu Ruoxian smiled and said, "Does the prince always dote on his wife so much?"
Yao Ji: "This also varies from person to person."
"If Ruoxian married into the prince's mansion, the prince would not know how to treat each other?"
"With my family here, Miss Wu may be disappointed."
"Ruoxian... wait and see."
There was a little scent between the two of them.
Nangong Qing: "I haven't married into the royal palace yet. Ruoxian, what are you talking about? Eat your popcorn."
In order to change the topic, Dugu Yue asked: "This... popcorn is really made of corn? Why is it so delicious, but it doesn't have the taste of corn?"
"If Miss Dugu likes it, Su Su can give you the method of making popcorn."
"Then thank you Su Su."
The girls continued to watch the competition on the stage.
The two people currently in the competition are Shangguan Hao and a genius from the Holy Emperor Academy.
Shangguan Hao is only at the first level of the Divine Martial Realm, and his opponent's level is the same as him. He is both geniuses who have the hope of entering the top ten in this competition.
The battle between the two will surely be a battle between dragons and tigers.
At the beginning of the competition, Shangguan Hao took the lead in launching a fierce attack. The royal family's signature magical martial art - Sanling Hand! It has a unique effect of resolving opponent's spiritual power. Shangguan Hao has mastered 100% of the attacks. The attack is extremely aggressive, and the opponent is defeated step by step.
There are many advanced martial arts in the royal family. Sanling Hand is a relatively famous martial art and is a unique family-born martial arts in the royal family.
Shangguan Hao learned such powerful martial arts, and there were naturally few opponents among his class. Shangguan Hao led the entire battle. He first used his powerful martial arts to suppress the opponent's actions, and then waited for the opponent to reveal his flaws when he was upset and grabbed it.
Hold on to the flaws and you will hit it with one blow.
This mind, this sense of the overall situation, and this talent are extremely rare. In the end, it will naturally become natural.
Shangguan Susu also praised: "This seventh prince is really not going to make a sound... a shocking move."
"The Seventh Prince was sent to the edge of the empire since he was a child. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, why are he so skilled in martial arts and high combat experience? In the past, I have never heard of the Seventh Prince having such talent."
Dugu Yue was a little surprised. There was no news about the Seventh Prince in the imperial capital, so why did he rise so suddenly?
"Maybe, there is some adventure. Anding County is far away from the imperial capital, so it is very normal that there is no news coming."
Wu Ruoxian was not very strange. After seeing Mu Yu's monster, a genius like Shangguan Hao was just an ordinary person in her eyes, so naturally it would not cause her doubts.
"The practice of the Seventh Prince seems to be the royal family's "Spiritual Emperor Heart Decision". Although "Spiritual Emperor Heart Decision" is a rare secret book of magical skills, the cultivation speed should not be so fast. The Seventh Prince is only twenty years old.
It’s really unbelievable that he actually has the strength of the Divine Martial Realm.”
Nangong Qing was also a little amazed that the Seventh Prince's strength was so powerful.
"The Seventh Prince's chance of winning the championship with the royal family's god-level martial arts is still very likely. Do you want to take a gamble? I think the probability of the Seventh Prince winning is very high."
There are naturally bets in such a big event. The evil spirit has already bought the Seventh Prince to win by millions of gold coins.
Shangguan Susu smiled and said, "I am more optimistic about Shui Lingshi sister, so I squeezed five million gold coins to buy Shui Lingshi to win the championship."
Wu Ruoxian: "I see Qingchi well."
Dugu Yue: "So too."
"I am the same as Su Su." Nangong Qing also likes Shui Lingshi, and it seems that only Yao Ji is optimistic about the Seventh Prince.
Just as the girls were discussing the competition, Mu Chen pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing that the room was full of beauties, Mu Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Uh... so many people... it seems quite lively."
When Shangguan Susu saw Mu Chen coming back, she smiled and said, "Husband, how is Tianxue's health? Is there any improvement."
