Rules of Heaven - C40

All seven orifices are closed. Isn’t this the same as making people deaf, blind, and mute? Furthermore, his personality would become so irritable. This method was too vicious, and when Ding Hong heard it, he instantly frowned. Seeing his expression, Zhong Chao chuckled, “That’s why I pulled you out of there in a hurry when I first saw you. I wonder what the current emperor of Fusang is thinking, to actually use this armor!”

‘This set of armor is not for the current Emperor Fusang, but for the current Sixth Prince Pei Puppet! ‘ Suddenly, Ji Tai emerged from the city, followed closely by Zi Shuang.

When Ding Hong saw that it was them, he was a little curious as to why they had come out so early. However, he did not ask. Hearing him say that the armor was used by the Peregrine Puppet, a thought flashed through his mind. He remembered seeing Peregrine Puppet on the rooftop the night before, together with a person who wore the same armor as the guard just now.

Humph, there is indeed something wrong with this puppet.

Hearing this, Zhong Chao asked, “How did young master Ji know about this?”

Ji Tai shook his hand and said, “Please forgive me for not being able to tell you. It would be inconvenient for me to explain the reason.”

Zhong Chao hurriedly said, “What kind of words are these? Sir, please don’t blame me for speaking too much.”

Ji Tai smiled and said, “Junior and I have some matters to attend to, so we will be leaving now.” “Goodbye.”

Ding Hong and Zhong Chao both said, “Goodbye.”

After seeing the two of them leave, Ding Hong said, “Brother Zhong, let’s go in as well. We’ve also delayed it for a long time. It’s not good to miss the best scenario later. ”

Zhong Chao smiled. “Of course, of course.”

The two of them headed towards the majestic imperial city together.

The legendary Imperial City didn’t have the feeling of being underground at all. If one didn’t think about it carefully, one wouldn’t be able to notice any difference between the city and the outside world. Ding Hong and Zhong Chao walked for a long time before arriving at a very large square. There was a stage in the middle of the square, and behind the platform, there was a passageway with a guard’s handle. At this moment, the plaza was already filled with people. On the stage, Seventh Princess Xi Huang, who was still wearing a fiery red dress and a veil, was holding a long sword in her hand as she fought with others. With a casual glance, Dante Hon could tell that she was absent-minded, and that the movements of her hands seemed brilliant, but they were completely time-consuming.

The people around him dressed differently. There were gongzi, merchants, pedestrians, swordsmen, Taoists, etc. Ding Hong was completely confused. The eyes of these people were fixed on the phoenix without blinking once. The competition onstage was extremely boring, which made Ding Hong and Zhong Chao lose their interest in watching it. No wonder Madam Ji and Zi Shuang had left so early.

Ding Hong turned his head and was about to speak to Zhong Chao when he suddenly felt a very weak impact from the bottom of his feet. He couldn’t help but pause as he looked at the ground under his feet. Zhong Chao was already bored to begin with. He was also disappointed in the Groom Search Competition and was not too focused. He immediately noticed the movement of Ding Hong. He curiously asked, “Little brother, what’s wrong?”

Ding Hong rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. Then, he asked, “Did Brother Zhong feel anything unusual about this ground just now?”

“Abnormal?” Zhong Chao didn’t understand, so he intentionally looked at the ground and said, “I didn’t feel anything wrong just now.”

Impossible, even though his current Yin Yang diagram was only half-a-step, being able to communicate with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was a fact. He had clearly felt a very weak fluctuation a moment ago. Moreover, from the looks of it, it must have come from some kind of formation, but he did not know the reason behind it.

Ding Hong secretly thought to himself that the reason for this was a little strange and wondrous to the Zhong Dynasty.

“Little thief, you really came!” Suddenly, on the stage, Xi Feng shouted and thrusted his sword at Ding Hong without giving him time to react.

Zhong Chao was shocked and shouted anxiously, “Be careful, brother!” His shout was like a clap of thunder that struck Ding Hong’s heart. He suddenly woke up and just as he came back to his senses, he saw Xi Feng thrusting his sword at him.

When Ding Hong saw that the sword was only a few feet away from him, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Without hesitation, he quickly rolled backwards. When a monk saw that he was empty-handed, perhaps out of goodwill, he threw out a sword and shouted, “Young master, receive the sword!”

At this critical moment, Ding Hong did not have the time to thank him. His body jumped again to catch the longsword. At this time, Xi Feng stabbed his sword towards Ding Hong who was in the air. Seeing this, Ding Hong did not dodge. Instead, he turned his body and used the rotational force to slash forward.

Xi Feng sneered and moved his left hand. His body twisted in the air and dodged his force. There was no longer any strength left in his body from the strike, and his body fell down after a slight pause. Ding Hong originally thought that she wouldn’t be able to evade the phoenix. Unexpectedly, she sneered and a pair of giant fiery wings suddenly grew out from her back. With a flap of her flaming wings, she used that power to thrust her sword towards Ding Hong. Judging from her strength and speed, she was clearly trying to kill Ding Hong!

Seeing this, Ding Hong had no choice but to use the Yin Yang diagram of Fuxi’s arm bone to block. Who knew that just as he raised his right hand, Zhong Chao suddenly shouted loudly, and his body flew up into the air. The pair of bronze mace in his hands instantly blocked the sword in Xi Huang’s hand. Xi Feng’s sword was pushed back and made a crisp “peng” sound. The sword in her hand also broke. Startled, he rolled his wings back and landed on the ground.

Ding Hong landed firmly on the ground and said to Zhong Chao, “Thank you, Big Brother Zhong.”

When Zhong Chao saw this, he couldn’t help but whisper, “What are you thanking me for?” “Just now I saw that you seemed to be preparing to use some sort of ultimate move to injure that pretty girl of yours!” The sense of righteousness in his words left Ding Hong speechless.

Xi Huang looked at the two of them and said unhappily: “You guys are cheating, one against two!”

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Princess Yu Die, why don’t you just marry them two… Ah, who hit me! Ah, who’s hitting me again! “Ah …” Before he could even finish his sentence, he was repeatedly beaten with a baton, probably to the point of incurring the wrath of the crowd.

However, Xi Feng didn’t care about that person. He stared at Ding Hong and said, “Do you dare to have another match with me?”

Do you dare? Who would dare! What he was afraid of now wasn’t losing, but winning! If he were to win, wouldn’t he become a Prince Consort? How can that be? If I lose … Seeing how menacing she was, she might just stab herself to death. He couldn’t lose, nor could he win. What should he do?

As Ding Hong thought of this, he couldn’t help but stroke his chin. Once he began to stroke his chin, it meant that he had fallen into a very speechless situation.

The surrounding people had all gathered around to watch the commotion. It was as if they were looking at their current location as a huge stage.

Zhong Chao seemed to understand Ding Hong’s worries, but he still smiled and said, “Little brother, it’s good for you to go up and win her over and marry her. Although she was wearing a veil, judging from her figure, she was definitely a great beauty. It wasn’t a loss for you to be her wife. “Go on, go on, Big Brother Zhong, I will support you from below!”

Xi Feng coldly glared at Zhong Chao and humphed.

Hearing his words, Ding Hong did not even have a temper. He deliberately let out a breath, straightened his expression, and looked at Xi Feng. Everyone’s interest was piqued by his expression, and they all held their breath as they looked. The scene immediately became silent. Even Zhong Chao quietly retreated.

Xi Huang frowned and looked at him, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, Ding Hong cupped his hands and sincerely said, “I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.” With that, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately disappeared.

I’m here to find Fusang to forge a sword, not to participate in this competition!

Ding Hong’s heart was filled with depression. After concealing himself, he did not stop and charged straight for the exit. When he passed by the guard wearing the armor of the Twelve Generals of Quiet Sky, he purposely felt more alert and observed the armor. He discovered that the set of armor was even more domineering than that of an ordinary general’s armor. The armor that covered the eye was engraved with a strange object, but Ding Hong did not recognize it.

He did not dare to linger for too long. He hastily passed through the door of light, left the passageway and arrived on the ground. Actually, the reason he left so early was to go back and thoroughly study the information he got from the Hundred Daybreaks Pavilion.

After returning to the inn, he took out two sheets of paper of good quality. These two sheets of paper were obtained from the Hundred Dawn Pavilion. The first one was where the Golden Crow was, and the second one was where the Golden Crow was.

Ding Hong looked at the first one. The Golden Crow was located to the north of Fusang City, within a barren mountain range. There was a giant tree in the middle of the mountain. The words “Fusang” were written on it. It was most likely the Fusang Tree. However, Ding Hong was a little puzzled. Why was there a barren mountain surrounding the Fusang Tree? If one were to calculate it this way, then wouldn’t the Fusang Tree also be a gigantic withered tree?

But whether this was true or not, only when they got there would they know.

Ding Hong picked up the second card and his eyes lit up. This was what was written on the second piece of paper.

Fusang Tree, born in the Valley of Tang. Many trees, Ye Ru Sang. There were also mulberries, the trees were thousands of feet tall, and the trees were more than two thousand feet large. Trees are common to the same root, more dependent on each other, is called Fusang. The Divine Bird Golden Crow is entirely gold, standing on three legs, also known as three feet or Yang Wu. The Golden Crow was one zhang tall and two zhang wide. It was ten times the same as the Golden Crow. It was twin to the tall branches of Fusang.

After reading through it a few times, other than introducing some basic common sense, there were no other important points. Ding Hong frowned as he held this piece of paper. Could it be that the item ‘Zi’ bought with so much gold a few days ago was only worth these few words?

Ding Hong frowned as he looked at the piece of paper in his hand. He could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in from outside the window, causing the piece of paper to flutter. However, this movement allowed Ding Hong to see some clues.

Because he suddenly saw that there were two layers on the edge of the paper! He pondered for a moment, then slowly guided his spiritual energy along that very small gap and placed it inside.

“Hiss!” Under Ding Hong’s anticipating gaze, the piece of paper split into two!

He hastily opened the paper. He found that there were two parts on the piece of paper. One part of the paper had a drawing, while the other part had very small words written on it.

The picture was the same as on the first sheet of paper, but in some places it was marked with red dots, which were then annotated in the text below. Ding Hong could not help but suck in a breath of cold air after he read through the whole thing. He realized that there were many hidden cards among them. If he were to accidentally activate some of them, he would die without a burial! As for the hidden cards, most of them were on the Fusang Tree, which confused Ding Hong a little. According to the painting, the Golden Crow should have been standing on a branch on a different part of the tree, but there were many red dots that were actually in the air, marked on the trunk of Fusang.

However, the more dangerous it was, the more Ding Hong thought of something.

Zhong Chao had said that he had sought out the Golden Crow’s misfortune, which meant that he had seen the Golden Crow! But why didn’t she see him say anything? Furthermore, from their previous conversation, it could be seen that their family was definitely not some simple family. He could even recognize the armor of the twelve generals of Nether Sky in one go!

“This Zhong Chao and Pei Gui are both interesting people.” Ding Hong muttered.

He picked up the piece of paper again, examined it carefully a few times, then burned a few pieces. Due to the miraculous effects of the liquid, even though Ding Hong had not fallen asleep, he was still in high spirits. After thinking for a while, he left the city ahead of time and went to the small pavilion by the Sunflower River outside the north gate to wait. However, from the beginning to the end, he had always been a hidden expert. He thought that Pei Gui might have seen him. Thus, after thinking for a while, he came to a big tree not far away from him and sat down.

In the evening, perhaps he was a little tired, he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes to rest. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound. Although his body had disappeared, he still used a tree trunk to carefully block his body.

“Young master, the young man you met this morning can only find out that he had something to do with the tribulation.” An old voice said.

“Oh? Did you find out anything about the youth’s few years? ” As soon as this voice reached Ding Hong’s ears, he immediately recognized it as the Zhong Dynasty’s.

The elderly voice replied, “No, the matter regarding this youth is like a piece of white paper. There is nothing to be found at all …”

Zhong Chao’s voice paused for a moment before he asked: “How many of them have you found out?”

The voice continued, “According to the rumours, Pei Gui is an orphan that was picked up near the Western Prefecture. He is the Sixth Prince of the Fu Sang Imperial Palace, and is also one of the princes with the greatest authority amongst all the princes. This person is very scheming, and possesses the authority to control the strongest soldier in Fusang, the Yun Family. His cultivation is rumored to have reached the pinnacle of perfection, and I’m afraid that he has already reached the second heaven of the third heaven! ”

Surprised, Zhong Chao asked, “How could it be so high?” Even the current Sect Leader of the Heavenly Palace must have cultivated for fifty years before reaching the Second Sky …

The elderly voice paused for a moment before saying: “According to the news from the scouts, when Pei Gui was seven years old, he seemed to have found something in the Fu Sang Imperial Palace. Since then, his temperament slowly changed, and his strength increased.”

Zhong Chao chuckled. “Interesting, interesting.” Then, what about Princess Xi Huang? “
