In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 241 The Aura of a King!

Twenty-three spiritual essences...

Three spirit beads...

Xie Lingxin silently counted her gains from just now.

And... a wisp of seven-colored legendary power at the tenth level!
It was obtained from that fox spirit.

He has now also learned to distinguish the levels of legendary power.

The higher the level of legendary power, the more solid it becomes.

Life and the mortal world are both just a dissipated wisp of gas.

The ten directions have condensed into a single wisp.

I heard that once it reaches the Savage level, it turns into granules.

She could barely suppress the corners of her mouth.

Let alone legendary power, even the drop rate of spirit beads is ridiculously low.

There are twenty-three legendary creatures of level 15 or higher, and one of them is level 20 or higher.

Only three were produced.

In fact, the sword strike that killed the fox spirit just now had exhausted all the sword energy he had been cultivating over this period of time.

Even if the scroll hadn't appeared and taken that Duan man away, he still wouldn't have been able to kill him.

The Spirit Pearls were completely used up, so these three came at just the right time.

The legendary power is simply too little.

He needs a lot of legendary power right now.

This wisp of legendary power at the tenth level was used perfectly on the Xuanhe Azure Banner.

It's impossible to just throw away something that's been refined with such great effort.

Back in the Federation, he had no confidence that he could gather all the necessary materials again.

Besides magical treasures, there are also cultivation techniques.

Moving mountains and rivers, and forging skills through countless battles, all belong to the power of the physical body, which can still be considered the power of the material world.

The Ruyi Golden Light Supreme King Sword is a divine power that amplifies one's own strength.

However, the protective powers of the Great Netherworld Bell and the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of one's hand are no longer forces belonging to the material world.

At least one more Ten Directions level Legendary power and one Wilderness level Legendary power are needed.

Ten Directions level is out of the question, but the legendary power of the Wilderness level... he really doesn't know where to get it.

Besides these, the fox spirit also lost a bead.

The size of a baby's fist, crystal clear, seems to be filled with ever-flowing pink mist.

He had seen this thing before.

The essence of the seven emotions!

The essence of desire!
However, it's much bigger than the one he got last time.

Get rich!
Not only because of its intrinsic value,
Furthermore, it's because the main ingredient needed for the "Hehuan Bell" recorded in the Treasure Refining Records is this very bell!
That's why he could recognize it at a glance.

The Hehuan Bell, that magical artifact... is a bit cheap.

However, it is still a treasure, and regardless of whether it is useful to you or not, it would be a fortune if you sold it!
The scroll of a hundred ghosts that Duan Chengshi, who didn't even show his face, threw out was something I don't know what it was, but if someone like him made a move, it probably wouldn't be too shabby, right?
And the corpses of those legendary creatures are all powerful demons; we should be able to find some valuable items from them.

There's no rush for now.

In short, this time they really made a fortune!

Three spirit beads, worth at least fifteen million federal dollars.

A wisp of legendary power at the tenth level is of uncertain value, starting at fifty million, and potentially doubling in price if someone urgently needs it.

Such a large essence of the seven emotions is no less valuable than the legendary power of the ten directions.

A sum of hundreds of millions in revenue!

Xie Lingxin really wants to do it again...

Forge another magical artifact; what it is doesn't matter, the important thing is to lure demons...

"Your Highness? Your Highness?"

Su Zhen stared at Xie Lingxin in a daze, her lips twitching.

It called out a few times.

Xie Lingxin came to her senses and realized that there was a group of people watching her.

"Oh it's all right."

He looked at Cui Hong and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

At this moment, Fang Zhaoshuang stepped forward and bowed to him: "This humble subject, Fang Zhaoshuang, greets Your Highness and thanks Your Highness for saving my life!"

Xie Lingxin waved her hand: "Fang Zhaoshuang? I remember you. Didn't you thank me for what happened last time?"

Fang Zhaoshuang's gaze dimmed slightly: "After parting with Your Highness last time..."

She recounted what happened next.

Xie Lingxin then learned that she and her brother had been attacked again, Fang Xiaming had disappeared, and she had been relentlessly pursued.

She suspected that the person chasing her was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and that he had previously avoided her in Mengjin.

"If it weren't for Senior Tiger by His Highness's side... Brother Wang and I would probably..."

Xie Lingxin couldn't help but look at the two strangers beside her.

The burly man clasped his hands and said, "I, Wang Xianzhi, greet Your Highness Prince Jing!"

The man next to him, though carrying a sword and halberd, looked like a scholar.

He bowed gracefully and said, "I am Huang Chao, and I greet Your Highness Prince Jing."

"!"

Xie Lingxin's eyes widened.

Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao?!
"Has Your Highness heard of us?"

Huang Chao was watching him.

Xie Lingxin came to her senses: "Oh, I've heard a little about it. You two... are you both involved in smuggling salt?"

Huang Chao's expression changed slightly.

Wang Xianzhi smiled frankly: "Your Highness Prince Jing even knows this? My family is indeed engaged in the business of smuggling salt."

Xie Lingxin waved her hand and said, "No need to be nervous, I can't concern myself with these things."

It seems it really was Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao.

These are all masters of rebellion! A poem about chrysanthemums written after failing the imperial examinations: "When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will wither. Their fragrance will fill Chang'an, and the whole city will be adorned in golden armor!"
Who doesn't know? Who doesn't understand?

Wang Xianzhi is relatively less famous, but in terms of rebellion, he was Huang Chao's predecessor!
Both of them appear to have come from salt merchant backgrounds.

No wonder he ended up hanging out with Fang Zhaoshuang; how could someone who smuggled salt be separated from the Grand Canal Gang?

How did these two end up together now, and even come here?
Xie Lingxin glanced at Huang Chao.

It had a thrilling feel to it.

This guy shouldn't have failed the imperial examination yet, right?

After all, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, not the Great Tang Dynasty...

At this moment, Cui Hongcai finally found an opportunity to speak.

It turns out that during this period, Cui Chenglin had already investigated and found out the whole story of the Bianzhou flood case.

The flood in Bianzhou was indeed a man-made disaster!
The Great Zhou Dynasty had many military governors and regional military commands. During Wu Zetian's years of seclusion, these military governors gradually grew in power.

It was a time of numerous warlords, each ruling their own territory, and almost all of them became private soldiers of a particular family.

The three towns of Hebei are the strongest among them.

The great flood in Bianzhou was related to Weibo Town.

In Bianzhou, there was a Xuanwu Army. The Wei Bo garrison colluded with a general in the Xuanwu Army and a member of the eunuch faction to cause a major flood.

Taking advantage of the flood, he falsely accused the military commander of Xuanwu Army, and then forged an imperial edict ordering him to drink poison and commit suicide, while secretly taking control of Xuanwu Army.

He then petitioned the court for disaster relief, requesting that the allocated disaster relief funds and grains be transported to Weibo Town via the Grand Canal transport system.

This great flood allowed Weibo Town and the Shence Army to seize control of Xuanwu Army, secretly taking over Bianzhou and obtaining a large sum of money and grain from the imperial court.

They made a fortune and ate their fill.

Cui Hong said, "The fact that we were able to investigate so smoothly this time is all thanks to the help of these two brothers."

He pointed to Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao.

Zhang Zhihong said with lingering fear, "Your Highness, if it weren't for Hero Wang and Hero Huang, we probably wouldn't have made it back this time."

"Weibo Town not only has a strong and well-equipped army, but also two major sects in the Hebei martial arts world, the Ghost Blade Sect and the Overlord Blade Manor, who serve as its henchmen to eliminate dissidents,"

"Magistrate Cui has been in danger several times, almost falling victim to his evil schemes, but thanks to the two heroes, he has been rescued on numerous occasions!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingxin clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I see. I will repay the two righteous men for their chivalrous deeds."

Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao quickly stepped aside to return the greeting: "We dare not accept Your Highness's courtesy! The two of us have been friends with the Fang family for generations. The Fang Gang Leader's misfortune must be related to them, so how could we stand idly by?"

"Furthermore, tens of thousands of people in Bianzhou suffered because of this, all because of the selfish desires of these beasts. It's simply outrageous!"

"If I do not personally kill these villains, I will not be worthy of being called a human being!"

The two exchanged a glance, then suddenly bowed to Xie Lingxin: "Your Highness, we have come here because we heard that Your Highness intends to thoroughly investigate this case."

"I wish to join Your Highness's ranks, serve Your Highness, and capture and bring to justice all those behind the scenes, so as to comfort the souls of tens of thousands of people in Bianzhou!"

Fang Zhaoshuang also bowed down.

"..."

No, the two number one and number two rebel leaders are worshipping me?

Xie Lingxin felt a slight tremor in her heart.

He could guess their purpose.

This case involves Wei Bozhen and the Shence Army; it's not something just anyone can get involved in.

Moreover, such a major case could not have been accomplished by the eunuch faction alone without the support of the court.

There's a high chance there's another "big umbrella" involved.

"I am but a mere idle prince, and I am afraid I am powerless to change your thoughts."

Huang Chao had just opened his mouth when Xie Lingxin raised her hand to interrupt him: "You have helped me, and I am very grateful."

"I have been ordered by the Emperor to establish my own government and military headquarters, and I am in dire need of manpower. If you two are willing, oh, and Miss Fang as well, you can seek your future here. I will not treat you unfairly."

"But I can't help with other matters. As for the Bianzhou case, now that the cause has been found out, I will report it truthfully. The court has its own laws on how to handle it."

Fang Zhaoshuang's expression turned anxious, as if she wanted to say something.

Huang Chao grabbed him and said, "Your Highness is so kind as to not abandon me, I, Huang Chao, am willing to serve you!"

Wang Xianzhi scratched his head and said, "Me too!"

Fang Zhaoshuang pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xie Lingxin glanced at it but ignored it.

"In that case, you two can serve as military advisors in my residence for now."

Laugh to death.

He doesn't even have a "prefecture" now, yet he's already taken in two rebel leaders.

They came to us on their own.

Do I really possess the aura of a king?
Xie Lingxin shook her head secretly.

Fine, I'll take it.

As for the Bianzhou flood case, Xie Lingxin felt that she should be able to face her conscience with this outcome.

After the report is submitted to the imperial court, the Wei Bo Town and the Shence Army will naturally be dealt with accordingly.

Such a big case cannot be covered up even with powerful protectors.

As for the rest...

Ultimately, I am just a passerby in this world; there is no need to get too deeply involved.

As for Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, since they had delivered themselves to her doorstep, Xie Lingxin had already figured out what to do with them.

He had just witnessed the skills of those two.

Although the white ape clearly held back, the fact that the two of them could contend with it meant they were at least at the sixth level of cultivation.

Let's be the treasure hunt captain!

"Cui Hong, have Cui Chenglin clarify the whole story, and I will report it to the court tomorrow."

Xie Lingxin gave a word of advice, then got up to go out and deal with the group of trial participants.

This is another windfall!
"I saved your lives!"

Xie Lingxin immediately displayed her domineering aura!
This left the trial participants looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Save...save...us?"

"Aren't we here to help you?"
