Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

He gently stretched out his right hand and crushed the iron lock outside the cell into powder as easily as crushing tofu.

The seemingly sturdy iron lock appeared to be as fragile as paper in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, the dark figure pushed open the door and strode into the cell.

Hearing the noise, Ku He opened his eyes and found a dark shadow in front of him.

The dark figure stood silently before him like a ghost, exuding a chilling aura.

But Ku He was, after all, a Grandmaster who had weathered countless storms. Faced with such a bizarre scene, he did not panic. Instead, he calmly asked:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The shadowy figure didn't answer Ku He's question, but instead coldly said:

"Your Northern Qi has already been given to Emperor Li Chengtian of Southern Qing as part of your Empress's dowry."

These words were like a bombshell, exploding in Ku He's heart.

His eyes widened, an expression of disbelief crossed his face, and he roared:

"Outrageous! How could our Northern Qi royal family do such a thing! This is an insult to our ancestors!"

Kuhe's voice echoed in the air, filled with endless anger and resentment.

He originally thought that the Empress would lead Northern Qi to prosperity, but he never expected her to make such a decision.

The shadowy figure seemed satisfied with Ku He's reaction. He smiled slightly, then reached out a finger and gently tapped, releasing the seal on Ku He's body.

Ku He immediately felt a powerful force surge into his heart, and his cultivation was restored to its original state.

The shadowy figure looked at Ku He, a slight smile playing on its lips, and said:

"Now that there are no Grandmasters guarding the palace, no one can stop you from doing whatever you want."

After saying that, the shadowy figure turned and left, leaving Ku He alone on the spot.

Just then, in the dim candlelight of the prison, the figure of the dark shadow began to gradually become clearer.

The figure was dressed in a long black robe, and its eyes were tightly bound by a black cloth strip.

If Ku He could see the appearance of this dark figure at this moment, he would immediately think of the temple, because the figure of the person in front of him was almost exactly the same as Wu Zhu, whom he was familiar with, and he also had human emotions.

In the pitch-black cell, Ku He felt his sealed cultivation returning, and at the same time heard the words spoken by the shadowy figure.

He immediately understood the other party's intention—the shadowy figure wanted him to kill the young emperor of Nanqing.

This sparked a fierce struggle for the throne within the Southern Qing Dynasty.

Ku He knew that there were still three princes in Nanqing. If he succeeded in assassinating the young emperor, then Beiqi would benefit greatly.

Although Ku He knew that the shadowy figure must have ulterior motives for saving him, after careful consideration, he realized that there seemed to be no better option than to assassinate the young emperor.

So he resolutely stood up and, with firm steps, slowly walked towards the outside of the prison.

Ku He walked solemnly down the corridor of the prison, his brows furrowing at the scene before him.

The ground was littered with the corpses of the prison guards, lying haphazardly, clearly showing no signs of life.

Ku He could tell at a glance that these people must have been killed by the dark figure from earlier.

With that thought, Ku He no longer hesitated. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot as quickly as a ghost.

After leaving the prison, Ku He closed his eyes and used his unique senses to try to find the presence of Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo.

He quickly sensed the presence of the two, but did not detect the aura of the young emperor of Nanqing.

Without hesitation, Kuhe turned and sped off toward where the two women were.

Whoosh! In just a moment, Ku He arrived at the palace where the two women were having their meal.

Hearing the commotion, the Red Armor Army soldiers outside the door were about to shout at Ku He.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, Ku He instantly unleashed his Heavenly Dao technique, killing the red-armored guards at the gate in the blink of an eye. Then, he gently pushed open the palace door and stepped inside.

When Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo heard the door open, they thought it was Li Chengtian returning, and their faces immediately lit up with joy as they hurriedly looked towards the door.

But when they realized that the person who came was not Li Chengtian, they were greatly surprised.

I was especially shocked when I saw the bitter lotus.

Haitang Duoduo exclaimed in surprise: Master... Master, you....

Seeing the shocked Haitang Duoduo, Kuhe smiled and said, "Haitang, your teacher has come out."

Upon hearing this, Haitang Duoduo thought that Li Chengtian had released Kuhe, so she exclaimed with delight:

"Your Majesty released you so quickly! That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing Haitang Duoduo's words, Kuhe's facial muscles twitched violently, and his eyes flashed with anger. He sighed inwardly, never expecting that his carefully cultivated little cabbage would be snatched away by someone else.

This made him feel extremely disappointed and angry.

Therefore, he did not reveal his plan, because he knew that if he told them now that he was going to kill the young emperor of Nanqing, it would be a disaster.

They will definitely oppose it vehemently, and may even sabotage his plans.

So, on a whim, he followed up on what Haitang Duoduo had said:

"That's right, it was indeed the young emperor of Nanqing who released me."

So the first thing I wanted to do after I came out was to thank this young emperor. I wonder if you, Haitang, know where he is now?

Upon hearing Ku He's words, Zhan Doudou frowned deeply, sensing that something was amiss.

But she couldn't figure out exactly what went wrong for the time being.

Haitang Duoduo, however, did not think so much. When she heard that Kuhe was not angry about the Northern Qi's disguised surrender, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

She said directly:

"His Majesty just said he had some matters to attend to, so he left. He should be in the Golden Palace handling affairs now."

"I will take you to the Golden Palace to pay your respects to His Majesty."

When Kuhe heard that the young emperor was in the Golden Palace, he was overjoyed, but he absolutely could not let Haitang go with him, otherwise it might ruin his plans.

So he said directly, "Haitang, you don't need to come with me. You should stay here and keep our Princess Consort of Nanqing company!"

After all, she was a great contributor; without her, our Northern Qi royal family would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Zhan Doudou heard the sarcasm in Ku He's words and looked at Ku He with a gloomy expression, like an iceberg, cold and majestic.

Hearing the sarcasm and mockery in Ku He's words, Hai Tang quickly spoke up:

"Master, Her Majesty..."

Kuhe didn't give Haitang Duoduo a chance to speak, interrupting her directly:

"Alright, you don't need to defend her. I don't want to hear it. I'll go thank the young emperor first, and then I'll go into seclusion."

"I will no longer concern myself with the affairs of Northern Qi." After saying this, Ku He turned and left the palace.

Haitang Duoduo was very distressed as she watched Kuhe leave. She originally wanted to tell Kuhe that Li Chengtian had led the eight grandmasters to attack Northern Qi, but Northern Qi had no chance of winning at all. The main reason His Majesty did this was to continue the royal bloodline.

After leaving the palace, Ku He flashed towards the Golden Palace.

As they drew closer to the Golden Palace, Ku He keenly sensed an extremely strong energy fluctuation within it.

He immediately realized that Li Chengtian was cultivating, and he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Good training will increase his chances of success when he makes his move later.

So Kuhe quickly used his fastest movement technique and flew rapidly towards the Golden Palace.

When Ku He arrived at the entrance of the Golden Palace, he immediately saw Grandmaster Zheng Qiankun, who was guarding the place.

This further solidified his belief that Li Chengtian must be at a crucial moment in his cultivation, otherwise why would he send a Grandmaster to guard the gate for him?

Ku He rushed toward the Golden Palace without hesitation.

Zheng Qiankun was scanning his surroundings with sharp eyes, protecting Li Chengtian's safety.

Suddenly hearing a whooshing sound, he immediately became alert and shouted:

"who?"

Without saying a word, he immediately struck out with his palm towards Ku He.

boom!

Although Zheng Qiankun's strength has reached the level of a Grandmaster, he has only recently broken through.

Even against the bitter lotus that has been broken through for many years, it is still slightly inferior.

Ku He ruthlessly retaliated with a backhand slap, sending Zheng Qiankun flying backward.

At this moment, Ku He did not stop. He barged directly into the Golden Palace.

Upon entering the Golden Palace, Ku He immediately spotted Li Chengtian cultivating.

Without saying a word, he mobilized all his inner energy and slammed it down on Li Chengtian's chest with thunderous force.

This scene was witnessed by Zheng Qiankun, who rushed over. His eyes widened, and he shouted angrily:

"How dare you lay a hand on His Majesty!"

However, just as Zheng Qiankun uttered those words, Ku He let out a wild and arrogant shout:
