Chapter 956 Shura Pillar
Zhou Ran did not leave the capital of Qing Kingdom, but went directly to the underground of the royal palace.
The consciousness left in Zhou Ran's mind by the South Pole Immortal, including his experience of constructing the domain wall to resist the turbid breath, the Twelve Kingdoms in the Inner Domain was originally a huge sealing formation.
Ordinary formations only have one formation eye, but this formation is too large, and one formation eye is not enough to support it.
Therefore, the formation that seals the turbid breath has a total of twelve formation eyes, and there is one formation eye in the underground of the royal palace of the Twelve Kingdoms in the Inner Domain.
Zhou Ran saw the formation eye of the sealing formation, the Shura Pillar, in the underground of the Qing Kingdom Palace.
It is a huge stone pillar with various patterns carved on it.
What Zhou Ran cares most about is not the decoration of the Shura Pillar, but the center of the Shura Pillar.
"Where is the pillar core?"
Zhou Ran's eyes were sharp, and he soon found that the pillar core of the Shura Pillar was missing.
The pillar core is the key to maintaining the stability of the Shura Pillar. Once lost, the Shura Pillar cannot support it for too long.
If one of the twelve Shura Pillars loses its function, its resistance to the turbid breath will be weakened. At that time, the inner domain may be invaded by the turbid breath.
Zhou Ran was not panicked when the pillar core was stolen. He closed his eyes and quietly sensed the flow of the surrounding breath.
Soon, Zhou Ran saw the direction.
"Where to escape?"
Zhou Ran shouted, waved his finger, and a sword energy shot out.
A person hiding in the corner was immediately hit and fell to the ground. This person was Zhang Dan, the deputy leader of Shimen.
Zhou Ran severely injured Zhang Dan and walked over step by step.
"How do you know about the Shura Pillar?" Zhou Ran questioned.
Although Zhang Dan was seriously injured, he had a backbone and resolutely said: "I won't tell you!"
"Don't tell me?" Zhou Ran sneered, "I know it even if you don't say it. Dong Li seems to cooperate with Shimen, but in fact, Shimen has used turbid breath to control Dong Li from the beginning. This Qingguo King is just a puppet of Shimen!"
Zhang Dan looked at Zhou Ran in astonishment. Why did this guy know so much?
Without waiting for Zhang Dan to speak, Zhou Ran said, "When I was fighting with Dong Li just now, I always felt a strange breath around me. If I'm not mistaken, that breath should be from you, right? You took advantage of the fight between me and Dong Li to quietly come underground and steal the core of the Shura Pillar, and all this was instructed by Shi Ji!"
Zhou Ran knew everything he had done, so Zhang Dan no longer hid it.
"That's right, everything was done by Shimen! The South Pole Immortal had the opportunity to purify the turbid breath in Dong Li's body, but Shimen used a little trick to make the South Pole Immortal fail! Later, Shimen helped Dong Li summon the divine beast Taotie and got rid of the South Pole Immortal! Dong Li became the king of Qing State, and all the evil things he did were fueled by Shimen behind him!"
Zhang Dan talked endlessly, but there was no surprise on Zhou Ran's face.
He had guessed these things from the beginning, and now he just heard Zhang Dan say it himself.
"Why does Shimen promote the turbid breath? Isn't Shimen afraid of the destruction of the world?" Zhou Ran asked coldly.
"How can I know what Lady Shiji is thinking?"
Zhang Dan no longer told Zhou Ran any information.
Zhou Ran was too lazy to ask, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.
"Return the Pillar Heart and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces!"
"Want to take back the Pillar Heart? Dream on!"
Zhang Dan snorted coldly, and then used his body skills to escape.
But Zhang Dan's body skills,
how could they escape Zhou Ran's eyes?
Zhou Ran made a casual move, and Zhang Dan was hit by one move, and Zhang Dan fell into a pool of blood.
"Hand over the Pillar Heart." Zhou Ran stretched out his hand to Zhang Dan.
Zhang Dan was already on the verge of death, but his mouth was still hard.
"I won't hand over the Pillar Heart to you..."
As he spoke, Zhang Dan took out the Pillar Heart, and the Pillar Heart shone like a gem.
However, the pillar core only flashed in front of Zhou Ran's eyes, and then suddenly disappeared.
"Space magic?"
Zhou Ran's face darkened. It turned out that this guy had a trick up his sleeve. No wonder he was so confident.
Even if he couldn't beat him, he could use space magic to move the pillar core to another place.
"Yes, it's space magic!" Zhang Dan said proudly, "The pillar core has been in the hands of Lady Shi Ji, you can't get it at all!"
Zhou Ran ignored Zhang Dan and turned away.
Zhang Dan was talking nonsense, and when he saw Zhou Ran's calm face, he suddenly became anxious.
"Marquis Guanjun, why are you not angry? Aren't you going to kill me? Aren't you going to cut me into pieces? Come on! Do it!"
"Why should I do it to a dying man? Sooner or later, I will take back the pillar core of Shimen."
Zhou Ran said lightly, and then turned and left.
Zhang Dan saw that his words could not stimulate Zhou Ran, and his last breath of life was also leaked.
The deputy leader of Shimen died in the underground of the palace of Qing Kingdom.
Zhou Ran left the palace of Qing State.
Although the core of the Shura Pillar of Qing State was stolen, the Shura Pillar was intact. The Shura Pillar without the core can last for several months. As long as the core is retrieved before then, there should be no problem.
As for the stone gate, it must be related to the turbid breath, but the purpose of the stone gate is unknown.
The matter of Qing State has been resolved, so Zhou Ran did not stay in Qing State for long and returned directly to Jing State.
Back in the capital Yingcheng, it is still bustling, which is completely incomparable with the lifeless Qing State.
The trip to the Qing Kingdom drained Zhou Ran's energy. After Zhou Ran returned to the Champion House, he lived in seclusion to recuperate his true energy.
A few days later, the king of the country Jing Kang sent his chamberlain and invited Zhou Ran to the palace.
Zhou Ran was invited to the palace. In the main hall, the ministers of Jingguo were all gathered together, welcoming the envoys from Qingguo.
Everyone recognized this envoy as Qing Huan, who came to Jingguo to declare war last time.
Qing Huan used to be a general of the Qing Kingdom, so he was naturally arrogant.
However, in the battle of Jianjiaguan, the Zuo army was defeated. He, the general, lost his military post after returning to Qingguo.
Later, great changes occurred in the Qing Kingdom, and Qing Huan returned to his old business and became the envoy of the Qing Kingdom.
Today's Qinghuan has long lost the arrogance of the past, his facial expressions are submissive, and he is respectful when he speaks.
"Qing Huan, the envoy of the Qing Kingdom, handed over his credentials to the leader of the Jing Kingdom, hoping that the war between the two countries will cease and they will no longer meet each other at war!"
Qinghuan said loudly, making the ministers of Jingguo present look at each other.
The envoy of the Qing Kingdom actually spoke in such a low voice. The sun rises from the west?
The leader of the country, Jing Kang, asked: "Envoy, what happened in Qingguo?".
Qinghuan did not dare to hide anything, so he told the leader of Jingguo and the ministers of Jingguo who were present about everything that had happened in Qingguo recently.
Everyone listened attentively, with incredible expressions on their faces.
