The press conference was held in the building.
On the top floor.
In the cafe.
There were very few people. There were a few people sitting in twos and threes in the hall. They were all martial artists and also powerhouses.
There were viewing windows all around, giving a panoramic view of the capital.
Fang ping and Zhang Tao found a place to sit down. The martial artists around them nodded at the two, but no one went up to disturb them.
"This place is not bad, right?"
Zhang Tao leaned back in his chair and said,""It's much better to look at the scenery here than on that tower. "
"It's easier to spot gossip if we're here,"Fang ping said calmly." We can go and listen at any time ..."
Zhang Tao glanced at him and became even more languid. He laid on the chair and said with a faint smile,""Don't give me that. If you scold me a few more times, I won't be able to suppress my anger and will directly slap you to death!"
After saying that, he laughed again."Gossip isn't the main purpose. There are two major catacombs in the capital. The capital of Hua country is where it is. We can't let anything happen here.
I have to patrol often to prevent evil sects from lurking.
Do you really think I'm that free?"
Whether Fang ping believed it or not, Zhang Tao himself believed it. As he spoke, the waiter had already served the coffee.
The service staff here were just ordinary people, not martial artists.
In a place like this, martial artists were the only customers. Fang ping was rather surprised that the service staff was not a martial artist.
Seeing Fang ping watch the waiter leave, Zhang Tao smiled and said,""Stop looking, they're just ordinary people. It's just a place to pass time. Wouldn't it be a waste for martial artists to stay here?"
After saying that, he looked out of the window and said with a smile,""It's good to be chaotic. All these years, in order to seal off the news and not let these people know the truth, many people had to find a reason even if they died in the catacombs. A ridiculous reason.
He died unexpectedly during the military exercise and was stationed at the border. Then, an accident happened ...
"He died of illness. An evil sect attacked ...
She was tired and annoyed at making up all these reasons.
In the future, I won't have to worry about this anymore, and it'll also save me a lot of trouble. "
Fang ping picked up his coffee and took a sip. He frowned slightly and said disappointedly,"Is it really coffee? I thought it was some good stuff ..."
"Do you think everyone is as extravagant and wasteful as you?"
"I earned it myself. If I don't spend the money I earn, then there's no point in earning it."
“……”
The two of them chatted for a while before Fang ping asked,"Minister, when will the National sacrifice begin?"
"Number 8."
"Then I might not be able to make it in time."
Zhang Tao frowned slightly and asked after a pause,"Speak, what do you want to do?"
Fang ping looked around cautiously. Zhang Tao's face darkened. "I'm here, is there anyone who can eavesdrop on me?"
This kid was looking down on him?
Even the heavenly suppression King would not be able to hide it from him. Did he really think that he was weak?
Fang ping did not mind. He laughed and said, "It's like this, didn't senior battle King kill a true king of the monster life Royal Court? You also said that the monster life Royal Court was framed by the true king ... But at this time, the people of the monster life Royal Court might not know.
Of course, the death of a true king was a major event, and they would definitely be dissatisfied with the monster plant Royal Court.
At this time, if we can provoke both sides into fighting, even if it's not a long-term conflict, a short-term conflict will at least give us some time to breathe.
The monster life Royal Court has joined the battle ..."
Fang ping hesitated for a moment, but still admitted,"The monster life Royal Court has been sitting on the mountain and watching the Tigers fight all this while. I was still a factor that led to the monster life Royal Court joining the war early.
"I, Fang ping, am not a great person, but I will bear my responsibility.
This time, I want to sneak into the restricted area and see if I can find an opportunity to trigger a conflict between the two Royal Courts ..."
Zhang Tao suddenly sighed, picked up his coffee and took a sip. After a long time, he said,""I knew you couldn't stay idle, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. The battle of the Forbidden City had ended not long ago, and the evil sect had not attacked for long ...
You can't even hold it in for a month, right?
"If you have the time, improve your ability first. When you reach rank-9, you won't be able to rest even if you want to."
Fang ping smiled bitterly,"I'd like to, but it's not that simple." At my level, it's not that easy to improve and advance quickly.
My imperishable substance has been used up many times, and I only have a few left.
At this time, I can only rely on external resources to cultivate. Don't you see that I'm earning a single cent now?
"There's no helping it. I've almost exhausted my Foundation at rank-8. I can only rely on myself now.
It just so happened that the opportunity had come. Perhaps he could even cause a dispute between the two great imperial courts, killing two birds with one stone.
If he wanted to go, he had to do it now.
Any later, and the storm of this true king's death will be over. At that time, it won't be so easy to stir up a fight between the two imperial courts again. "
Zhang Tao did not say anything.
Fang ping did not mind. After a while, he said,"Minister, is the true king extremely important to the Royal Court? Is the death of a true king of the monster life Royal Court insignificant or very important?"
"I really care about it!"
Zhang Tao gave an affirmative answer,"a true king is not an ordinary martial artist. Every true king is a top expert who has stepped onto the end of a martial arts path!
There were many true Kings in the catacombs, but this did not mean that true Kings were not important.
The catacombs had been accumulating since the divine continent's history. The current true Kings were generally about a thousand years old.
In fact, there were very few new true monarchs. In the past hundred years, there were still a few peak cultivators.
China had three, while gods 'paradise and ancient Buddha sacred land had one each.
A total of 5 paragons were born!
On the other hand, in the catacombs, only the monster plant Royal Court had a new true king. The king Lord of the monster life Royal Court would probably advance to the true king realm soon.
Originally, there had been only three monster plant imperial court Kings left. But now that his origin Dao had been destroyed, there was no more hope.
In the past hundred years, the other party had only produced two true king realm experts.
And these were two Royal Courts, so one could imagine what a true king meant.
The death of a true king of the demon life imperial court will cause a huge impact, and it might even cause some true Kings to start cowering. Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages to the battle King killing the opponent. "
Zhang Tao briefly explained that there were pros and cons to a battle-King killing his opponent.
According to his calculations, not killing him might have more advantages than disadvantages, but it was hard to say.
The fact that the battle King didn't listen to him and killed him that day might have his own considerations as well. The effect of intimidating the true king of the demon life Royal Court might not be worse than Zhang Tao's plan.
Fang ping understood and laughed,"since it's so important, I just need to light a fire a little and it'll cause a huge uproar."
It's necessary for me to go to the restricted area at this time.
As long as it's done properly, I don't think it's too difficult to make the two Royal Courts become enemies.
These two imperial courts have always been enemies. Before the war with the humans, they fought for many years, and the enmity between the two sides is extremely deep ..."
Zhang Tao took a deep breath."It's very dangerous!"
"Entering the enemy's rear is not as simple as you think!"
"It's fine if you're an ordinary rank-9, but once you encounter a true king, you may not be able to hide from him! Yes, you can change your aura. It's fine if you're an ordinary cultivator, but if a true king realm expert suspects you, they'll examine your physical body inch by inch and find that there's still a gap.
"Our cultivation system is slightly different from the catacombs martial artists '. Some of our internal structures are also different.
"It's not like you don't understand. The catacombs martial artists are undergoing a complete energy-evolution process, but we are not!
If both sides were carefully separated and investigated, the gap would be huge. Once you were suspected and a true king realm expert examined you inch by inch, you would be directly exposed.
"As for you, an earth martial artist, entering the catacombs, it's not that easy to disguise yourself perfectly.
It's not what you think. They only look at your aura, do you understand?"
Fang ping nodded. He was still clear about this.
"When catacombs martial artists are rank-3, their hearts start to turn into energy.
When they reached the middle-ranks, they would even completely go through the process of their internal organs being energized.
However, human ancient martial art practitioners were different.
The martial arts of both sides were generally the same, but the specific process was different, which also led to some differences in some characteristics of the two sides.
"There's no need for the true king to investigate a middle-ranked martial artist's physical body, is there? There are countless martial artists in the Forbidden Zone, and there are only so many true Kings. Why are they so free?"
"You're too dazzling. "
When Zhang Tao said this, Fang ping could not tell if he was complimenting him or looking down on him.
However, the latter was more likely.
Zhang Tao said with a sneer on his face.
You're a troublemaker. If you go and something happens, it'll be fine once or twice, but if it happens many times, it'll be strange if I don't suspect you.
A normal middle and high-ranked martial artist might not even be able to see a true king realm powerhouse in their lifetime.
As for Fang ping ... It was hard to say.
Perhaps he would encounter a true king realm expert soon!
Zhang Tao didn't continue on this topic and said again,""You really want to go?"
"Yes."
"Then I won't stop you. Of course, I won't help you either. You think of a way. Now that I've appeared at the mountain of resisting sea, I'm the focus of all the experts.
At the end of every month, I will patrol the defensive mountain for three days. I won't enter the mountain at any other time.
I can only patrol one to two regions. Which region are you planning to come out from?"
"Near Magic city's catacombs."
Zhang Tao nodded slightly and said,"it's good that you're going. Help me check out the situation. If you can enter the Imperial City of monster plant Royal Court, help me gather information on the monster plant Royal Court's King Lord."
This person ... Although his origin Dao had been crippled, it was hard to say if he was really crippled.
In short, he's a dangerous person. You don't have to deliberately collect anything, just ask around.
In addition, in the true king Palace, the monster plant Royal Court's Palace Master was more mysterious. If he could find out some information, he would do so.
Other than that, he also collected some gossip. Don't underestimate the gossip, such as a certain true king and a certain true king not getting along, and having a hostile relationship ...
All of this gossip was extremely useful.
Our people can't enter the restricted area, so we can only move around the king battle field and can't hear any news.
"However, once we gather this information, we can take advantage of the situation to guide them. At the critical moment, we can gather these hostile true Kings together. Perhaps there will be an unexpected surprise.
"This kind of information should not be considered top secret in the catacombs. Of course, that's also within the upper circles. The middle and lower levels are mostly unaware.
Therefore, gossip is often more important than the intelligence you deliberately collect. "
Fang ping laughed."I understand. No wonder the Minister likes to listen to gossip."
Zhang Tao snorted and finally said after some thought,"Since you're going in this time, I'll say one more thing. There's a high chance that the two catacombs Kings are still alive, and they're in the king Battle Ground.
If you have the chance to enter, see if you can resurrect the two kings ..."
Fang Ping's expression changed slightly, and he said hesitantly,"once the two kings recover, doesn't that mean ..."
"Maybe there will be internal strife. Who knows?" "There's no harm in taking a gamble,"Zhang Tao said with a smile." You just have to keep your life. Of course, you may not have the chance to go in.
Also, don't overestimate the two kings.
The two kings should not be in the Emperor realm. Perhaps they were two Dao path experts, or perhaps they were three Dao path experts ...
Of course, it's also possible that he's an expert who has walked a long path and might not be stronger than the Heavenly King suppression. "
"It can't be?"
"The two kings are so weak?" Fang ping was a little surprised and asked hurriedly.
"Weak?"
"Who gave you the confidence to say that a true king who has two DAOs is weak?" Zhang Tao sneered.
Zhang Tao glanced at him. This kid was really arrogant.
"Do you think it's that easy to walk further on the road of despair? If it was that easy, the Heavenly King would not have been the only one to walk the second path out of so many absolute beginning realm experts.
Some of the old geezers from the sacred lands like God's paradise didn't actually walk a second path. They were probably similar to battle King, walking a bit further on the same path.
There were so many true Kings in the catacombs, and the only one who had walked out of the second path was the palace Master of the true king Palace.
Otherwise, the catacombs would not have to fear the resurrection of the demon Emperor.
In the battle a thousand years ago, the demon Emperor had almost completely thrown the catacombs into chaos by himself. According to the situation in the myriad origin Palace, at most three Jue Huang had entered the catacombs, and at the very least, the demon Emperor had been alone.
"Think about it. One man's strength is enough to break into the catacombs. What does this mean?
This was the confidence and power of an expert with three Dao paths!
Even if the two kings were strong, there was a limit.
Moreover, so many years had passed. Even if he had not died back then, he must have been seriously injured. Now that he had recovered, he would at most be on par with a temple master.
The more this was the case, the easier it was for internal strife to arise.
If he's strong enough to suppress the hall Master, then there won't be any internal strife ..."
Fang ping nodded slightly and said,"we'll see. Besides, the quota for the king Battle Ground has already been set. The next time will be three years later. I might not have the chance to enter."
"That's hard to say. Of course, you don't have to be too insistent. "
As Zhang Tao spoke, he finally warned,"don't have any ideas about the Imperial City's mineral veins!" There were more mineral veins in the Forbidden Zone than in the outer area. The land of the Empire had countless mineral veins, and there was even ... A pool of life essence!
However, the danger was also great.
In short, you're going this time, so just treat it as a distraction. Don't deliberately make a big move, the more deliberate it is, the more troublesome it will be. "
Fang ping nodded and asked again,"then, do you think that if I kill Ji Yao, will the two Royal Courts start a war?"
"Don't even think about Ji Yao. "
Zhang Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was staring at the woman, so he explained,""If nothing goes wrong, Ji Yao probably has the life King's spiritual power clone.
Under normal circumstances, the life King might not be able to do this.
"But now, the situation is different. Ji Yao almost died at your hands a few times, and monster life Royal Court also participated in the war. Things will be different now.
You'd better be careful when you meet the descendants of the true Kings this time.
"This is especially true for the high-ranked true king descendants. The current situation is not good for us, and it is the same for them.
"In order to protect these high-ranked descendants, it's very normal for some true Kings to separate some of their mentality clones."
Fang ping nodded again. After some thought, he said,"Minister, if I manage to seize the spiritual clone, can I use it to attack the opponent?"
"Stop dreaming. Although the spiritual force split body is just a program, this program also has intelligence ..."
Fang ping added,"what I mean is, I'll pretend to be a descendant of a true king before releasing it."
“……”
Zhang Tao suddenly felt a little tired. This time, he couldn't help but ask,""How did you manage to change your aura?"
He had never seen such a thing.
Fang ping had never shown it in front of him.
However, someone had seen this in the restricted area. In the past, it was hard to determine whether it was true or not, so he did not ask. However, Fang ping did not hide this too much now. He even dared to sneak into the restricted area. How could Zhang Tao not know if it was true or not?
Fang ping chuckled and said,"Minister, I'm not sure if you ask me about this." Maybe it's an ability from my previous life. Anyway, as long as I pay a certain price, I can do it without any special means. "
"Can you help me hide my aura?"
"That's impossible. "
"It's a pity,"
"Why don't I go to the restricted area as well? that'll be more interesting," Zhang Tao sighed.
Zhang Tao's face was full of regret. What a pity, such a heaven-defying ability was controlled by this kid.
If it were him ... Then wouldn't the Forbidden Zone be in chaos when he arrived?
A top expert who could appear at any time and attack the true king realm was hidden by their side. What kind of scene would that be?
Everyone was in danger!
The true Kings still had the mood to attack earth?
If they didn't kill this hidden one, the true Kings probably wouldn't even dare to leave their homes.
Although he was regretful, Zhang Tao did not insist. He said,""If you're going to impersonate a true King's descendant, it'll depend on your luck. The spiritual power clones of the weaker true Kings were always dormant and not the active kind.
However, a powerful true King's spiritual power clone would also be in an active period and would be able to sense everything that was happening around them.
Of course, there were not many who had the ability to do so.
Moreover, it also depended on how much spiritual power was divided.
For example, Heavenly King Zhen, he could do it, but his split body did not contain much psyche, so he could only remain silent.
Not everyone is as powerful as me, and not everyone is like me. The split bodies I gave you all contain a large amount of spiritual power.
Brat, you've wasted two of my clones. At least 10% of my spiritual power has been cut off. You'll have to deal with this matter in the future.
If it wasn't for you, I might have already broken through to the Emperor realm. "
Fang ping rolled his eyes madly. 'You have the nerve to say this?
Next, Zhang Tao explained the situation and the situation he understood.
Fang ping noted them down one by one. When he was almost done, Fang ping said,"Minister, I'm going to carry out such a dangerous mission this time. Are you not going to take a single hair from me?"
Zhang Tao's face darkened. Did I ask you to go?
You insisted on going, and now you want to ask me for benefits. I'm so poor, do I have any benefits for you?
"You can't bring your spiritual energy clone with you. This thing can't be put into the storage ring. If you bring it with you, you'll be easily discovered."
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about something else. For example, I'd like to have a hundred pounds of life essence. "A few tons of energy stones will do too.
Or something like the Skygold Lotus, give me a few dozen of them ..."
"No, I didn 't!"
Zhang Tao refused without hesitation.
Fang Ping's expression was sorrowful. He said softly,"then forget it. If I die in the catacombs, so be it. Please add me to the National sacrifice on the 8th. Just treat it as if I'm dead."
"Alright," he said.
“……”
Fang ping was mentally exhausted. 'You agreed so readily!'
Despite Zhang Tao's words, after struggling for a long time, with a pained expression, he still took out a set of armor and threw it to Fang ping, sighing."I borrowed it from you. Return it to me when you come back."
Fang ping caught it. His eyes brightened, and he said,"An eighth-grade magic weapon and armor? If you had this, why didn't you take it out earlier? You're already at the peak, so it's useless for you to have this. Isn't it a waste to hide it?"
"What do you mean by hide?" Zhang Tao said angrily. What do you know? this armor was damaged before and couldn't be used. I spent some energy to repair it, and it was just repaired not long ago.
I've just repaired it, so I'll lend it to you.
By the way, this armor isn't very auspicious. Use it as you see fit. "
"Inauspicious?"
"The owner who used it is already dead. It's fine if he's dead, but the armor is still here and hasn't disappeared. Don't you think it's unlucky? Almost all of them were smashed into meat paste the moment their armors were taken out, and even their armors were damaged.
Not just once, it was the third time!
You're the fourth one. I hope it won't be like this this time. "
Fang ping was speechless. He did not care about this anymore. Rank-8 armor was a good thing.
Divine weapons and armors were the most precious type of divine weapons.
Even old Zhang was envious of iron head's set of divine armor. It could be seen how precious it was.
The value of an eighth-grade divine armor was equivalent to a ninth-grade magic weapon.
It was worth at least 100 billion!
Old Zhang said he was lending it to him, but Fang ping said directly,""This is your payment and interest. You owe me a large sum of money, so this is mine.
"When I've reached rank-9 and I don't need it anymore, I'll give it to someone else."
"Hmph!"
Zhang Tao snorted. I owe you money?
If you dare to say one more word, I promise to kill you!
However, he could not be bothered to say anything about Fang Ping's remuneration. He could say whatever Fang ping wanted.
When this kid is fatter, he can just sneak back.
When the two of them talked about this, the matter was considered to have completely come to an end.
……
After leaving the top floor, Fang ping met up with old Wang downstairs.
The two of them walked outside the building. The pedestrians were in a hurry. Many people formed groups and discussed the matter of the catacombs.
Some people were worried, while others were full of fighting spirit and were eager to try.
Wang Jinyang looked at it for a while. He did not ask about Fang ping, but said,"In the near future, I might go to the king battle field."
"What?"
"My realm isn't rising fast enough. I've only just reached middle-stage rank-7 now. My speed is too slow. Only by going to the king battle field can I improve quickly. "
"Ji Yao and the others all know that you're on good terms with me ..."
"It's fine. At least the Royal battlefield is fair. I'm not afraid of anyone in the seventh-grade region. I'll ask iron head and old Yao later. If the situation permits, we'll go together.
"With iron head around, even if a rank-8 powerhouse were to cross the boundary and come, he might not be able to kill us."
Fang ping did not say anything when old Wang said that.
Everyone had their own paths to walk, and Fang ping could not always move with them.
Now that he had achieved rank-8, old Wang and the others had become a burden.
Old Wang knew this too, so he did not ask Fang ping what he wanted to do. He could not participate in what Fang ping was involved in now.
Just like Qin Fengqing from before, Fang ping and the others were rank-7, while this guy was rank-6. Qin Fengqing could not participate in what Fang ping and the others did.
"Be careful."
"You too,"
“……”
