Chapter 222 Xiao Wu's Sacrifice

Entering the majestic hall, hundreds of officials were already standing in the hall.

Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing followed Xue Qinghe to the position below the throne and stood there. However, Dugu Bo did not stand beside Shi Quan, but stood beside Xue Xing opposite Shi Quan.

This move also explained to all the civil and military officials present that Dugu Bo did not support Xue Qinghe.

"See Your Majesty."

Soon Emperor Xue Ye came and sat down in the hall, and Shi Quan followed everyone and saluted Emperor Xue Ye.

Emperor Xueye looked at Shi Quan with a smile, "Master Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard from Qinghe that Master Shi will go to the Star Dou Forest to obtain the soul ring in the near future. The empire can prepare a hunting group for you to help you hunt down the soul beast. , I wonder if Master Shi needs it?”

Shi Quan smiled and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Quan accepts it wholeheartedly. This time I go to the Star Forest, Grandpa Dugu will go with me, so I won't bother Your Majesty."

Emperor Xueye nodded, "Okay, Master Shi has contributed the Zhou Tian Cultivation Method to the empire this time and has made a huge contribution to the empire. I wonder what kind of reward Master Shi wants?"

Shi Quan said with a smile: "My subordinates are very interested in soul guides recently. Soul guides have a wide range of uses. If we can develop a combat-type soul guide specifically for soul masters, it will definitely be of great benefit to soul masters and even the entire empire." ”

Emperor Xue Ye burst out laughing when he heard this, "Master Shi is indeed the pillar of the country. Everything he does is for the country and the people. Since Master Shi is interested in the soul guide, I naturally can't be stingy. The empire's treasure house There are many soul guides, Master Shi, you can borrow them for research, and the empire will provide you with the necessary consumables.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Shi Quan also smiled.

"In addition, I will confer Master Shi Quan as a Duke, and he will be rewarded with thousands of soul coins. I will not pay homage to him in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Quan saluted again after hearing this.

Shi Quan's reward is over, and the rest of the affairs in the court are just trivial matters. As the saying goes, if you have something to report, you will report it to the court if there is nothing.

Morning time was quickly over.

"Brother Shi, come with me."

Looking at Shi Quan's eyes, Xue Qinghe naturally understood and led Shi Quan towards the imperial treasure house.

Under the leadership of Xue Qinghe, a group of four people quickly arrived at a tightly defended hall.

"Brother Shi, please wait a moment, I will order someone to get it for you."

Even the crown prince Xue Qinghe cannot enter or exit the imperial treasure house at will. Those who can enter and exit the imperial treasure house are absolute loyalists and absolute deadliest servants of the Tiandou Empire.

If you want to take something out of the empire's treasury, in addition to Emperor Xue Ye, you must have a warrant from Emperor Xue Ye.

Once you have the warrant, you cannot enter the imperial treasure house. Only those who guard the treasure house can enter the treasure house.

They can only wait outside.

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, an attendant came to the four of Shi Quan with a brocade plate covered with a layer of red cloth.

Shi Quan looked at the brocade plate with burning eyes and opened the red cloth.

Suddenly, the entire palace was shrouded in strong precious light.

It was an extremely strange thing, its entire body was crystal clear blue and had a three-dimensional triangular shape. The whole thing seems to be carved from sapphire and is only about the size of a palm. The crystal blue light is filled with precious light, and strange energy fluctuations are constantly coming from it. On this blue triangle, there are lines like water waves. These lines don't seem to be carved, but more like they are alive. Circles of blue light are flashing, and the palace is filled with a faint light. Baoguang.

"Is this the Vast Sea Universe Cover?" Shi Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up and down.

Dugu Bo on the side was also a little surprised. He had heard the name of the Vast Sea Universe Shield, but this was the first time he saw it. Such a sight was worthy of being a national treasure.

The reason why Emperor Xue Ye agreed to Shi Quan's permission to borrow the Vast Sea Universe Cover was not only Shi Quan's personal strength, but also Shi Quan's terrifying wisdom.

The cultivation techniques created by Shi Quan are too shocking, and the Zhoutian cultivation techniques will improve the strength of the entire empire.

At such a young age, he was able to create a new theory of extreme soul rings, plus these two techniques.

This allowed Shi Quan's influence to reach a very terrifying level in the entire soul master world.

If Shi Quan can really develop a soul guide for combat, then the empire will directly have the power to compete with any force.

Moreover, these soul tools should be left alone. It would be absolutely worth the money to capture Shi Quan's future potential with such a number of soul tools.

And it is just a borrowing now. If the stone falls into silence in the future, he can also take it back in the name of borrowing.

There is no loss for the empire.

Shi Quan raised his hand and grabbed the Vast Sea Universe Cover, and the familiar voice of the system sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the special item Poseidon's Heart and triggering the looting of the treasure chest."

"Ding, it is detected that the host has successfully placed Xiao Wu under house arrest. The loot box can be triggered again. Do you want to integrate the trigger of the loot box?"

"yes!"

Shi Quan answered without hesitation.

"Sure enough, it worked." Shi Quan thought to himself.

Soon he knew what good things the integrated treasure chest would be able to unlock.

Put the Vast Sea Universe Cover into the treasure bag.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and Shi Quan does not intend to stay in the palace for a long time.

When leaving, Xue Qinghe sent Shi Quan to the entrance of the palace.

"Brother Shi wishes you a smooth journey. Get a satisfactory soul ring."

Shi Quan nodded towards Xue Qinghe and waved goodbye.

After bidding farewell to Xueqing River, Shi Quan returned directly to the Sunset Forest with Dugu Bo and Zhu Zhuqing.

When they returned to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, the three of them first returned to a cave at the bottom of the spring, and only returned to the outside of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire after confirming that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were still absorbing soul bones.

"Shi Quan..."

The pale and thin Xiao Wu appeared in front of the three of them, and as soon as they met, she cursed at Shi Quan fiercely.

Shi Quan looked indifferent when he heard this, and raised his right hand. The next second, the powerful mental power turned into a phantom dragon phantom that appeared behind Shi Quan.

"Phantom Moon Reading!"

Xiao Wu's expression immediately fell into a stagnation.

In the bloody illusion space, Xiao Wu was horrified to find that she had been trapped on a cross at some point, and her limbs could not move.

Countless phantoms appeared around, and each phantom was herself.

And in front of each phantom stood a person, Shi Quan.

Xiao Wu wanted to speak, but found that she could not make a sound at all.

Shi Quan held a sharp blade and cut her flesh. The huge physical and mental pain made Xiao Wu's expression distorted. She struggled frantically, but couldn't move at all.

Outside.

But in an instant, Xiao Wu lost consciousness and collapsed on the ground. Even if she lost consciousness, her whole body was still twitching, as if she had experienced something terrible.

"In just an instant, you can torture the soul of a 100,000-year-old soul beast to the point of collapse?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Quan in confusion, "Xiao Quan, did you release Xiao Wu just to torture her?"

"Of course not." Shi Quan shook his head, "Zhu Qing Xiao Wu is the gift I prepared for you."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Quan in confusion.

"Zhu Qing, have you heard of a 100,000-year-old soul beast turning into a human?"

Shi Quan then told Zhu Zhuqing about Xiao Wu's origin.

Zhu Zhuqing was shocked and unbelievable when she heard this. "You mean Xiao Wu is actually a 100,000-year-old soft-bone charm rabbit?"

"That's right." Shi Quan nodded and said, "And her soul rings and soul bones are just right for you."

Zhu Zhuqing quickly calmed down and said, "With my current strength, I'm afraid I can't absorb Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, right?"

"Under normal circumstances, it's indeed impossible." Shi Quan looked down at Xiao Wu, with a smile on his lips, "But as long as she sacrifices, you can perfectly absorb her 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones."

"This Xiao Wu is almost hating us, how could she be willing to sacrifice to me?"

"I naturally have my own way."

Shi Quan smiled, and a shadow appeared behind him, and five soul rings, four silver and one red, appeared under him, "Xiao Meng, help me!"

"No problem, Quan." Xiao Meng floated down and landed on Xiao Wu's forehead. At the same time, Shi Quan's fifth soul ring suddenly lit up.

"Fifth soul skill, dream soul capture!"

The silver-gold light rose, covering Xiao Wu, and it became more and more intense.

"Hmm?" Xiao Wu's painful expression quickly changed. Her brows relaxed and she began to look happy. She closed her eyes and shouted softly, "Third Brother!"

After a while, Xiao Wu's voice turned into a scream, "Third Brother, be careful!"

"No, no, Third Brother, don't worry about me, go away!" Her face was very anxious.

After a while, it turned into despair, and then into determination.

"Third Brother, forget me!"

The next second, pink light continued to rise from her body, and the surrounding green light was quickly dissipated and turned dark red. At the same time, her skin also turned dark red. It was as crystal clear as a ruby, with a rich blood-red flame burning on it.

"It's really a sacrifice!" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the scene in front of her in shock.

"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu still closed her eyes tightly, her expression was distorted, and she was completely unaware. The burning pain on her body was completely integrated with the dream, and she could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

Her mental power locked onto Zhu Zhuqing, who was also enveloped by the red light around her.

And Xiao Wu's body was gradually turning into an illusion.

"Third brother, I love you..." Xiao Wu leaned forward with her eyes closed, then frowned and opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes. In her sight, the person in front of her who was wrapped by a huge red ring was not her beloved third brother.

But Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing!" Her face suddenly changed, and everything in front of her showed that she was deceived.

"No, no..." Xiao Wu screamed shrilly and turned around to look at Shi Quan.

"Shi Quan, you must die!"

"You must..." The voice stopped abruptly, and her figure was completely illusory. The expression was still there, but she couldn't make any sound.

"You can only blame yourself for following the wrong person." Shi Quan looked at the scene in front of him calmly.

Facing the enemy, you can show mercy, but you can never be soft...
