Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 187 Shocking Conspiracy
Qianhu City is not an ordinary place.

This is one of the few fifth-level areas in the Eternal Night Forest!

Miracle City is far behind in size and rank, and we will not consider annexing such a place in the short term.

However, the Qianhu City area is very large, surrounded by a large number of low- and medium-level areas. It is also the center of the interweaving and game of various forces. If a stronghold can be successfully established, it will be conducive to the spread of influence and lay the foundation for the future conquest of the Eternal Night Forest.

After the Chaos Tide ends.

Artus will be ordered to set off.

At this moment, there is still an hour before the territory secret realm closes. Qi Ji can already calculate today's income. Although it is increasing steadily as usual, he still feels some pressure.

High income.

There are also many expenses.

In particular, there are plans to build a large number of territory residences.

After all, building a territory residence would cost up to 8000 soul crystals, 4000 materials, and 4000 mental power!
This is no small number, and building one house requires so much, ten, twenty, or a hundred? Even for a territory, it is an unaffordable expense.

Residential areas must be built.

This can form a stronger bond to the adventurer.

It can also permanently increase the population of adventurers in the territory over a long period of time.

In the middle and late stages of a large territory, it is difficult to increase the population by relying on functional extraordinary buildings. At that time, the only way to increase the population of dungeon adventurers is to build a large number of dungeon houses.

Miracle City is full in seconds every day and the number of places to enter the city exceeds the demand. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife makes the chopping of wood easier. The more you invest in construction, the more revenue you will create, forming a snowball effect.

In addition to the resource gap in territory construction, other aspects such as building an army, purchasing goods, and creating secret realms will all consume a lot of mental energy.

Take the secret realm for example.

Although the cost of creating the secret realm itself is not that high.

However, Qi Ji needs to activate the "Dungeon and Fighter" inspiration crystal to create the secondary secret realm of Jinxi City, and the three main secret realms of the territory also need to be updated at any time, which requires more awakening and activation times.

The best way is to break through the level.

Obtain two opportunities to activate awakening through the "Blessing of the World Tree".

This will not only be more than enough to create the "Arad Continent" secret realm, but Qi Ji can also prepare materials for the new chapters of the three main secret realms, as well as prepare for the fourth main secret realm to be opened in the next stage.

Qi Ji is already at the fourth level.

Another upgrade will make you a fifth-level lord!
Senior lords such as Ran Tianyun and Ren Wanxiong are only at the fifth level.

And it took these lords at least nearly twenty years to reach this level of cultivation!

Miracle Territory has been established for less than two months and is currently just a quasi-third-level territory. It would undoubtedly be an exaggeration for Qi Ji to be able to break through to the fifth level and be on par with them at this stage!
of course.

It’s not easy to reach level five.

It only takes 20,000 mental power to upgrade from level 3 to level 4.

It takes a whopping 100,000 mental powers to upgrade from level 4 to level 5!
The higher the lord's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through, and the more astonishing the consumption. This is why Ran Tianyun, Ren Wanxiong and others have reached the fifth level a long time ago, but have not continued to break through.

The biggest advantage of Miracle Territory is its huge output of mental power!
Although it has not yet officially broken through to become a third-level territory, the amount of spiritual power it produces every day is already ten times that of a third-level territory, and it has an advantage even compared to most fourth-level territories.

Based on current resource output.

Tighten your belt and save for a few days.

There is not much suspense about the breakthrough to the fifth level of cultivation.

Qi Ji will become a fifth-level cultivator on par with Ran Tianyun, Ren Wanxiong and others.

Of course, cultivation is not the same as strength. Since he has learned too few lord skills and lacks accumulation of various foundations, he cannot compare with these senior fourth-level lords for the time being.

In addition, with the current spiritual power income of Miracle Territory, it is certainly possible to make a full effort to reach the fifth level without any problem. However, in the short term, the territory construction and adventurer contract recruitment may be affected.

How to balance resource expenditure to ensure efficiency still requires some planning.

……

Inside the secret hall.

The adventure is nearing its end.

It was another rich and wonderful day.

The "Frenzy Battle Royale" competition was full of twists and turns and generated a lot of discussion.

There are currently nearly 5,000 adventurers, and their energy has basically been exhausted at this moment. They have produced an astonishing amount of resources, spirits and various harvests from the secret realm.

Among the three main secret realms, the number of people who have completed the Black Light Chapter, the Titan Chapter, and the Ashina Country Chapter is increasing.

Currently, the only two secret realms that have not been completely cleared are the biochemical chapter of the Frenzy Secret Realm and the Sui and Tang Chapter of the Exotic Ten Kingdoms Secret Realm. The reason why these two secret realms have not been completely cleared is mainly because they have too much content and slow updates.

For example, the biochemical chapter.

This is a chapter created by Qi Ji based on the "Resident Evil" series.

Among them, there will be not only orthodox works of Resident Evil from all generations, but also many unorthodox works and even works adapted from film and television animations. It is expected that at least a dozen chapters will be created, but only five chapters have been updated so far.

Iron-mouthed Cockroach: "The secret realm lineup in Miracle City is too rich and powerful!"

Today, dozens of adventurers from Qingshan City came to Miracle City to watch the game.

This was their first time coming to the core city of the territory. Before this, adventurers from Qingshan City had all been adventuring in Undercity, and the only secret realms they could enter were the Doomsday Frenzy and the Ten Kingdoms Secret Realm.

"Yes!"

"Miracle City is not only rich in secrets."

"The progress here is far better than that in Undercity."

"The adventurers of Miracle City have already reached the fifth chapter in the Biohazard Frenzy chapter."

"Our Qingshan City adventurers are adventuring in the Undercity. The fastest we've ever been able to do is defeat the Leech Queen Marcus..."

"Have you guys seen the content of Resident Evil Chapter 3? The adventure of the new protagonist, Leon, is incredibly exciting and thrilling. William's G5 form is far more terrifying than the G3 that appeared in the third level of the campaign mode!"

"what is this?"

"Xinghai is the god among gods!"

"Indeed, even though Star Ocean only has one chapter, the content is incredibly exciting and shocking. It's a shame that Undercity can't connect to this secret realm. Otherwise, we'd definitely experience the mecha battle!"

"..."

The adventurers in Qingshan City were discussing the content and gameplay of each secret realm. In fact, not to mention the Star Sea, which is also the main secret realm, even the secondary secret realms of the End Arena and the Free City have their own characteristics.

Unfortunately, I can’t enter the Undercity.

Adventurers from Qingshan City can of course travel to Miracle City to adventure through territory teleportation.

But the problem is that transmission is not free, and the cumulative consumption generated by transmitting back and forth every day is not a small number.

Meng Yinxue realized that if this continued, it would be difficult for adventurers from Qingshan City to establish influence in the core city of the territory. The best way was to buy a house in Miracle City and become a permanent resident of the territory.

I don’t know when the lord will release the house.

I guess the competition will be fierce by then!

These few days, you must be crazy about clearing secret realms and gaining equipment spirits. All the resources you gain, regardless of whether they are good or bad, must be handed in. Only in this way can you gather enough contribution points in a short period of time!
pity!

What a pity!

I didn't win today.

Otherwise, you can't just own a high-end house.

It can also be used as an opportunity to make the adventurers of Qingshan City famous.

After all.

It’s because I don’t have enough ability!

The potential of this underground city is unprecedented!

Meng Yinxue planned to recruit several other third-level adventurers and several fourth-level adventurers who could be called masters as soon as possible. Only in this way could she have a greater chance of seizing such an opportunity.

Adventurers from Miracle City (Blackrock Town) currently have a great advantage over adventurers from Undercity (Green Mountain City).

But Blackrock Town is just a small adventurer town, and the number of truly top adventurers is definitely not comparable to Qingshan City. If the top few bosses in Qingshan City join in, it will be enough to greatly increase Qingshan City's competitiveness!
"Everyone, come and see!"

"Boss Higanbana is going to fight Yang Shuo again!"

Several adventurers around Meng Yinxue became interested.

Six-Eyed Flying Fish: "Is the Higanbana of Blackrock Town going to challenge again? Let's go and take a look!"

Qingshan, the warm-hearted man: "Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter? Then I'd like to take a look. After all, I'm currently playing against Ashina, and I'm sure I'll play against Sui and Tang Dynasty in the future. Gathering some intel in advance would be helpful!"

Meng Yinxue was no stranger to the secret realm of the Ten Kingdoms.

She is currently exploring the Ashina Kingdom in the Exotic Ten Kingdoms.

He is now almost reaching the castle tower to fight Ashina Genichirō again. He is deeply fascinated by this mysterious, dark, bizarre, and immersive world. Naturally, he is interested in other areas of the secret worldview.

The Sui and Tang Dynasties section is the second chapter of the Chronicles of Ten Kingdoms in Foreign Lands.

Although Meng Yinxue has not yet initiated a challenge, she has heard of it.

The background of this chapter is a certain historical period in China.

Meng Yinxue watched many explorations of Blackrock Town adventurers and gained a preliminary understanding of the story and style of this world. She felt that it was a story with a long process, a large span, and an epic feel.

The Iron-Beaked Cockroach asked curiously, "I heard that the background of the Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter is a superpower empire called the Great Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains of China!"

"Yes, this empire is a hundred times larger than Ashina, but for various reasons it always gives people the feeling that it is in the final stages of a dynasty, on the verge of collapse."

The warm-hearted Qingshan seems to be quite knowledgeable about the plot.

He explained to the other adventurers from Qingshan City, "The protagonist of this story is a descendant of the royal family named Chen Jingchou. The main plot seems to be related to restoring the Chen Kingdom and defeating the Sui Dynasty. I feel that the structure and goal of this story far surpass the Ashina story."

Iron-mouthed Cockroach: "What? Becoming the emperor? Is that even possible?"

Qingshan, the warm-hearted man, said: "It's a bit difficult. Chen Jingchou's personality is not suitable for being an emperor at all. He doesn't seem to want to be an emperor either. He just has no choice because of his status."

Meng Yinxue commented, "The Great Sui Empire is in chaos due to its abuse of its people's power, yet it still has a massive army that can sweep across the world, and an unrivaled leader like Grand Tutor Yuwen."

"Then how can we strike back?"

"Just because it's so difficult, it makes it even more interesting, right? We're all curious about how the story unfolds!"

"Well, although the physical strength and abilities are not enough, it is said that as long as one gathers the five divine artifacts of Qin, Ding, Yin, Mirror and Stone, one can conquer the world and become the Supreme Being. Currently, the protagonist has found the whereabouts of two of them."

“I don’t know what will happen next.”

“It’s really exciting!”

"..."

Adventurers from Qingshan City came to the secret crystal one after another.

After assassinating Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in a dragon boat race, Chen Jingchou, played by Bianhua, lay in wait for a while with his friends Xiaoxue and Yu'er, avoiding the limelight and gathering intelligence.

It was finally learned that the Shennong Ding last appeared near a small village called Douzikeng.

There is a place called Demon King's Fort nearby, where a group of outlaws live. They are most likely the force that stole the divine tripod.

A new adventure begins!
Higanbana heads to Bean Pit.

On the way, they encountered the Sui army oppressing the people.

She then joins forces with two special people she met at the inn.

These two people were Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao. When the five of them saw injustice and helped each other, they joined forces to repel an entire Sui army. They admired each other very much and became friends.

The adventurer had never heard of these two people before.

However, their powerful strength of up to three-level four-star and five-star as well as their distinctive and generous personalities are very impressive.

Higanbana then sneaked into the Demon King's Fort to steal the tripod, but was surprised to find that Cheng Yaojin was the Demon King, and it was he who stole the Shennong Tripod.

Because there has always been a rumor that "whoever obtains the sacred tripod will rule the world", Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong wanted to fight for the tripod in order to find a true emperor to help them overthrow the tyrannical Sui Dynasty, so they refused to hand over the sacred tripod.

Tuoba Yuer is determined to take back the Tuoba clan's sacred artifact.

Chen Jingchou, played by the adventurer, also needs to obtain the divine cauldron to refine medicine to treat Master Gongshan.

Unexpectedly, when the two sides were confronting each other, the Shennong Ding was stolen by an unknown person disguised as Yuwen Tuo. Cheng Yaojin was furious and thought that the adventurers were spies of the court. Fortunately, Qin Qiong was observant and discovered the weirdness of the matter.

finally.

After some negotiations.

Tuoba Yu'er promised to find the divine tripod and return it to the Demon King's Fort within fifteen days. The two sides would then have a fair duel to decide the ownership of the divine tripod. Tuoba Yu'er's straightforwardness and generosity won Cheng Yaojin's favor, so he let the three go and let them find the tripod.

The above plot.

This is the part of the red spider lily that was opened in the morning.

The plot is not much different from the original, but Qi Ji increased the roles of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong to a certain extent during the adaptation, so as to better highlight the character and strength of the two heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Although the adventurers did not know the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, through several interactions with the two historical figures, they first became friends, then became enemies, and finally fought and reconciled, making a gentleman's agreement.

In this series, you can feel the ambition, strength and personal charm of the two heroes of the late Sui Dynasty through interaction!
No need to question.

Same as "The Bearded Man" Zhang Lie.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were both outstanding figures of their time. The adventurer couldn't help but marvel at how the land of China truly is a land of exceptional people and resources.

Several bandit kings and green forest heroes in the mountain strongholds actually have such powerful strength and heroic personality. I wonder how many heroes are hidden in this world.

After the chicken-eating contest.

Higanbana continues to explore the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties.

He, Yu'er and Xiaoxue followed the divine tripod all the way to Donglai City.

This city has a population of 60,000, and is far superior to the border town of Heishan in terms of population size and prosperity. When a vivid and real Sui and Tang city appears before your eyes, it is inevitable that adventurers will once again sigh at the delicacy and reality of this world.

however.

Donglai City can only be explored for one day.

After completing several side quests, Higanbana learned that there was something unusual on the top of Mount Tai near Donglai City, so she immediately went to investigate and found a sneaky army. She couldn't help but suspect that it was related to the person who stole the Shennong Ding.

The three of them then killed the Sui army all the way and reached the top of the mountain.

The adventurers were surprised to find that there was a huge altar on the top of Mount Tai, facing the Donglai City dozens of miles away. Two trusted generals under Master Yuwen gathered here.

The younger one is called Yang Shuo, and the older one is called Han Teng.

This Han Teng looks the same as an attendant who followed "Master Yuwen" to steal the tripod in Demon King's Fort, but his temperament is completely different, so the adventurer has to suspect that Han Teng at that time was also fake.

however.

Don’t wait to think too much.

Yang Shuo activated the All-Spirit Blood Array on the top of Mount Tai, and summoned a meteorite out of thin air to hit the Donglai City in front, instantly razing the Donglai City that the adventurer had just visited to the ground.

no doubt.

This scene shocked all the adventurers.

Not long ago, Higanbana was still wandering around Donglai City. Whether it was peddlers or street urchins, everything was so vivid and real. But in the blink of an eye, the whole city was razed to the ground.

Regardless of the expressiveness of the picture.

The impact of the plot is also very strong.

The adventurers were not mentally prepared at all.

Yang Shuo destroyed Donglai City and killed 60,000 people just to follow the order of Master Yuwen and refine a blood bead of all spirits. This move not only shocked and angered most adventurers, but also made the three protagonists of the story unacceptable.

A great war broke out.

Higanbana found that it had no chance of winning against Yang Shuo and Han Teng at the same time.

The only way to win this BOSS battle is to wait until Han Teng leaves with the All-Spirit Blood Pearl and the large stationed troops, and only Yang Shuo's troops are left on the top of Mount Tai. Even then, it will be quite difficult.

Yang Shuo has the strength of a third-level four-star.

Plus a strong personal guard.

Each of them also has about the strength of the second level and three stars.

It took five consecutive battles for Higanbana to win on the top of Mount Tai. This shows that even though Yang Shuo was weakened after just launching the formation, his strength was still terrifying and powerful.

……

now.

The top of Mount Tai.

Looking down the mountain from here.

The blood-red sunset covered the vast mountains, forests and land for hundreds of miles.

Looking towards the northwest from here, a city reduced to scorched earth can be clearly seen. This once prosperous and peaceful city no longer exists, like a hideous and ugly scar on the earth.

Near the huge formation on the top of Mount Tai.

All they saw were the bodies of more than a dozen Sui soldiers lying in a mess.

A general who looked to be in his twenties or thirties, holding a spear in his left hand and a green sword in his right hand, wearing a white robe and silver armor, was now half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.

The general was wounded in many places.

A sword wound in the chest is enough to threaten life.

This powerful noble of the Sui Dynasty has completely lost his combat effectiveness at this moment, while Higanbana, Tuoba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue are confronting him in front of him.

"why?"

The red spider lily could clearly feel Chen Jingchou's emotions.

She had never felt such anger from this prince.

She then asked, "There are 60,000 people in Donglai City, 60,000 innocent civilians. They have no grudge against you. Why did you kill them?"

Even in desperate situation.

Yang Shuo's expression remained stern and fearless. "These sacrifices are necessary... Everything is for Lord Yuwen's grand plan... The Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl has been taken away by General Han... I will have fulfilled my mission and die without regrets!"

Tuoba Yu'er said angrily: "What is this guy's conspiracy behind all this? Where did you hide the Shennong Ding? Tell me!"

Yang Tuo did not answer the previous question.

He simply said, "Shennong Ding... I don't know what you are talking about... Lord Yuwen is also worried about the Ding... If I knew, I would have told Lord Yuwen long ago."

Tuoba Yuer: "Impossible! I clearly saw that it was Yuwen Tuo who led his men to steal the Divine Cauldron!"

Higanbana realized that her and Qin Qiong's guess was true. The person who stole the Shennong Ding was most likely not the real Yuwen Tuo, and there was no point in torturing the general at this moment.

An idea struck her, and she asked, "General Yang, Yuwen Tuo went to great lengths to search for the divine artifacts, but was it to collect the Qin Ding Yin Jing Stone to set up the Nine Five Formation?"

Yang Shuo's expression changed drastically: "How do you know this formation?"

He immediately realized that he had revealed information that he shouldn't have, and his face turned grim. He drew his sword and committed suicide to prevent more information from being leaked.

"Damn it! He committed suicide!"

Higanbana was very annoyed that she couldn't get more clues.

Yu Xiaoxue knelt on the ground facing the direction of Donglai City with tears streaming down her face.

She kept muttering to herself, "Brother Chen, everyone in Donglai City is dead... Xiaobao and his parents are also..."

Tuoba Yu'er also shed sad tears: "These guys who take human lives are so despicable! Ergou and his family have just been reunited!"

Xiaobao and Ergou mentioned by the two are both characters in the Donglai City side story.

The adventurer had just finished a few side quests in Donglai City when he was suddenly faced with the tragedy of the entire city being destroyed. The shock and impact caused were beyond words.

All of a sudden.

Not only Xiaoxue and Yuer shed tears.

The adventurers watching outside also fell into a brief silence.

Meng Yinxue was shocked and angry, "How could Grand Tutor Yuwen be so evil and cold-blooded!"

Mingyue Zhaoxue also said, "In order to refine the Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl, he actually sent his men to kill tens of thousands of innocent people!"

"It's not that simple!"

"He's still collecting the five great artifacts!"

"Qin Ding Yin Jing Shi... These are the five sacred artifacts that Master told Chen Jingchou about, the five sacred artifacts used to set up the Nine-Five Formation... I think this Yuwen Taishi is trying to seize power and usurp the throne to become emperor!"

"..."

This plot is not only full of shock.

This brings the biggest contradictions and suspense of the entire Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter to the surface.

It also further shaped the super villain Yuwen Tuo in people's eyes.

This Grand Master with Demonic Eyes, who has been oppressive since the beginning of the story, this top-level warrior who slaughtered tens of thousands of cavalry and elite soldiers of the Chen Kingdom with a single sword, has now become a completely cold-blooded villain in the minds of adventurers.

Powerful, mysterious, cold-blooded, cruel, dark, unscrupulous, and ambitious!
the most important is.

The target and the protagonist overlap.

He is also collecting the five great artifacts.

At this stage, the oppressive feeling from Master Yuwen was too strong!
Only in this way will the future character reversal be more vivid and dramatic!
The adventurers were talking about this.

"Yuwen Tuo already possesses a powerful cultivation base above the fourth level, and he also wields the Xuanyuan Sword, the most powerful of the ten divine weapons."

"That's all right."

"But he is still in a high position and has great power."

"Currently, he is second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people in the Sui Dynasty."

"At this moment, let alone facing the invincible Yuwen Grand Tutor himself, even his subordinates like Yang Shuo and Han Teng are masters of their time and are almost utterly loyal to Yuwen Grand Tutor..."

The adventurers all felt tremendous pressure.

Because no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning against it.

Even if we bring in Zhang Lie, the leader of the Tuoba tribe, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, it would still be far from enough!

at this time.

Higanbana found a map and a letter on Yang Shuo's body.

Specially marked here are: Yanmen, Donglai, Kuaiji, Changsha, Fuling, and Wuling.

Higanbana said in a deep voice, "Yuwen Tuo has already obtained the first Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl in Yanmen, and this Donglai City is the second one. Does that mean he will have to refine blood pearls in four other places next?"

Everyone was horrified.

"One drop of blood killed tens of thousands of people."

"How many wrongfully dead souls will be created by these six blood beads?"

"Has this Yuwen Grand Tutor gone mad? It's fine if he wants to collect divine artifacts to set up the Nine-Five Formation, but what on earth is he after these Myriad Spirit Blood Pearls?"

"It's not that simple!"

"Yuwen Tuo's plan may be bigger than imagined!"

"Yes! There is definitely a secret! And it's a shocking secret!"

"..."

Based on the information revealed in the letter, Higanbana learned that Yuwen Tuo's men might meet in Daliang, so she immediately took Xiaoxue and Yu'er into the travel map and headed to Daliang.

On the one hand, this trip is to investigate Yuwen Tuo's conspiracy, and on the other hand, it is to continue to track the whereabouts of Shennong Ding.

When passing through Donglai, which has turned into ruins and is no longer accessible.

But he met a special person at the ferry.

This person is born with a charming figure and beautiful appearance. She is both enchanting and beautiful and has an aristocratic temperament. She calls herself Dugu Ningke and is the princess of the Sui Dynasty.

Dugu Ningke claimed that he was sent by the emperor to monitor and investigate Master Yuwen. He happened to find the Shennong Ding that was hidden by Master Yuwen and told its location to Bianhua.

Although Higanbana was skeptical about this beautiful princess who suddenly appeared.

But there were no other clues at the moment, so they searched with a try-it attitude, and they actually found the hidden Shennong Ding in an official ship at the dock.

After testing.

It’s definitely Zhending.

Higanbana was overjoyed.

It's effortless to find something after searching for it everywhere.

She has been tracking the Shennong Ding for a long time.

This divine tripod has gone through many twists and turns, and no one expected that it would be obtained in this way in the end. This was really beyond everyone's expectations and was definitely an unexpected surprise.

"Great!"

"With this tripod in hand."

"Perhaps there is still hope to fight against Master Yuwen!"

"That's right. First, use the cauldron to refine the healing medicine to cure Master Gongshan. With the help of this contemporary master of Guigu Dao, even if we can't defeat Master Yuwen, I think we can at least compete with him!"

“This is such a dramatic turn of events!”

"..."

Although the adventurers were very interested in the subsequent plot development and adventure, the adventure of Higanbana had exceeded the time limit, so they had to exit and complete the settlement.

【This adventure has ended! 】

【You activated the Mark of Plenty! 】

[You have obtained "The Great Sui Dynasty's White-Clad Tiger General: Yang Shuo"! ]

Although I had accumulated three Marks of Abundance, I expected the rewards for this settlement to be good, but when I saw the final output, it turned out to be a third-level, four-star named spirit.

Higanbana still felt a huge surprise!
This is a bloody profit!
