Chapter 26 26. Third Year of Xuanhe

“But these seven layered passages…”

Chen Mo tried to sense it.

At this moment, the red veins and the red dragon tattoo on his right arm flashed red.

Especially the tattoo, at the position of the dragon head, the eyes suddenly seemed to open.

Then the red vein seemed to have something poured into it, and finally connected with the red dragon tattoo.

The next moment, Chen Mo felt a rush of sharp pain again. From the beginning of his fingers, it started to evolve, dragon scales grew, and his arm began to transform towards a dragon claw.

At the same time, one of the seven veins on Chen Mo’s right arm turned into a crystalline, as if magma was poured into a blood vessel.

Chen Mo fainted from the pain.

And when he fainted, his right arm had completely turned into a dragon claw, and even his whole body was covered with crimson scales, but soon the scales disappeared into his body, as if nothing had ever happened.

Even the tattoo and veins on his right arm disappeared.

Chen Mo woke up.

When he looked out the window, even though the night had yet to fade away, there was already light in the distance.

Chen Mo shook his head, and did not feel any signs of fainting, not even the slightest pain.

On the contrary, he felt full of energy in both his spirit and body, as if his entire body had endless strength.

He seemed to have sensed something.

He looked down.

His dragon had already raised its head.

And it didn’t seem to be easy to make it bow its head.

Ahem, a little too much energy…

He quickly checked the Crimson Dragon Demonic Arm.

He discovered that the tattoo and veins could appear and hide with his thought.

Not only that…

“This opened the first layered passage?” Chen Mo discovered that he somehow opened the first layered passage of the Crimson Dragon Demonic Arm inexplicably.

He hurriedly got out of bed, took a deep breath, and squatted down. He didn’t draw his Qi, and he didn’t activate the Crimson Dragon Demon Arm, and just slammed the ground with his bare fist.

“Bang”, accompanied by a muffled sound, the dust and smoke swayed between the bluestone slabs.

The hard bluestone slab was shattered into several pieces.

Chen Mo was surprised.

The bluestone slab was two centimeters thick, and as the building material for Weiyang Palace, it was naturally very sturdy, and it laid flat on the ground.

Therefore, in order to break it, it required a huge amount of force.

Just the right arm transformed by the Crimson Dragon Demonic Arm possessed this amount of power.

If the Crimson Dragon Demonic Arm was activated with the addition of Qi, how powerful would it get?

Chen Mo felt some excitement in his mind.

He had seen the dawn of mastering his own fate.

Since he was full of energy, he did not plan to rest longer.

He took out the Strengthening Dans that Xiao Yunxi had rewarded him, and planned to break through to the eighth-realm in one fell swoop.

Xiao Yunxi’s strength was a fifth-realm cultivator.

In order to escape from her control as soon as possible and completely control his own destiny, he also had to become a fifth-realm cultivator as soon as possible.

A Strengthening Dan went into his stomach, and he closed his eyes and started to refine.

At the Yonghe Palace.

After Noble Concubine Hu took a shower, she was about to go to sleep.

At this moment, a black shadow appeared outside the bead curtain, which caused Noble Concubine Hu to sit up abruptly. The slightly loose nightdress slipped down a little and her exposed shoulders revealed incredibly fine skin.

Maybe she was a little scared, but the movement in front of her was like a turbulent ocean wave.

“It’s me.” Although the voice was very low, it was still possible to make out that it was a female voice.

“This is the palace, why are you here?” Noble Concubine Hu was startled when she heard the familiar voice.

“My lord wants me to ask you how your probe went?” “Didn’t I say before that if I received information, I will find someone to get it out? That Dog Emperor is already suspecting me. If he knew you came here, everything would be over.” Noble Concubine Hu reprimanded the shadow in a suppressed voice.

The shadow was silent for a moment, and then said, “It’s already starting to get messy, the lord can’t wait any longer.”

Concubine Hu grabbed her hair in anger, and said, “Xiao Yunxi’s mind is too difficult to grasp, I didn’t get anything, but I guess she shouldn’t know about the Chiyang Bell?”

“She doesn’t know?” The shadow was also stunned for a moment, and then it said, “There’s no way she doesn’t know about the Chiyang Bell. It was bought by the eunuch in her palace, and according to the information from the lord, Princess Fumao went to the Imperial College with the clues on the bell…”

“Do you think that without Xiao Yunxi’s instructions, the dignified princess would go to the Imperial College in person for a eunuch?”

After she heard the shadow’s words, there was a frown on her face, and immediately said, “Then Xiao Yunxi is way too difficult to read.”

“How can an empress be easy to read?” “Is there a problem with the eunuch?” Noble Concubine Hu thought of something and asked.

“The lord has already sent someone to the Office of the Imperial Household to obtain his files, and we’ll find out soon,” the shadow said.

Xuanhe.

It was the third year the title was used by Emperor Zhao Ji.

The third year of Xuanhe.

It had been seventeenth year since Zhao Ji became emperor. It was also the third year of his reform.

But it didn’t work.

Since he insisted on reform, the Great Song Dynasty had suffered from natural disasters, rebellions, and refugees and turbulences were everywhere.

Although there had long been signs of turmoil, it had intensified in the past few years.

And since the third year of Xuanhe, the slogan that the Imperial Power withered and the Yellow Turban Force came to power started to spread. It was a treasonous statement.

It was the beginning of August, and before dawn, an urgent report was sent to the imperial capital.

When the messenger entered the palace, he shouted that he was in the highest urgency. The imperial army did not dare to stop him, so he went directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the emperor was located.

After the emperor listened to the report, he did not even brush up, and directly summoned the ministers to come to the palace to discuss matters.

Thump

Thump

The thick bells rang through the towering imperial city and the neighborhood market. The sky that was bright was masked by heavy dark clouds that suspended above the imperial city of Bianliang.

Boom!

A thunder struck through the sea of clouds and added a depressive and solemn mood to the Bianliang in August.

The dark clouds covered the light, and the storm was about to arrive.

When the thunder struck outside Chen Mo’s window, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an invisible wave of air swept out of him.

The candles in the room that had not been extinguished overnight were completely extinguished at this moment.

“Eighth-realm…”

Chen Mo clenched his fist and muttered to himself.

Eighth-rank was also known as the Condensing Qi Realm in the past.

The Qi was extracted from all parts of the physical body, and condensed, so that it flowed and circulated in the body, so that it could absorb the Qi between heaven and earth without cultivating any methods.

A smile appeared on his face.

Just when he finished washing up and was about to go to the empress’ inner hall to serve, there was a knock on the door.

“Brother Hong, are you awake? Your Royal Highness is coming.” Little Mirror’s deliberately lowered voice resounded outside the door.

“I’m up.” Chen Mo simply packed up and went to open the door.

Then Zhao Fujin directly walked in.
