Chapter 211: royal shock
Chapter 211 Royal Shock
Zhou Shiren nodded, and immediately said to a guard beside him, "Let Cao Xiong come in!"
The guard turned around and quickly shouted in the direction of the palace gate: "Your Majesty has an order, Xuan Cao Xiong, Lord Cao, has an audience!"
"Xuan Cao Xiong!"
"Xuan Cao Xiong!"
In just a few breaths, Zhou Shiren's orders were conveyed to the outside of the palace layer by layer.
After issued the order, Zhou Shiren dismissed the rest of the ministers, walked into the hall with his ancestor Zhou Ting and others, and waited quietly in the hall.
After a while, Cao Xiong, who was busy with dust, entered the palace and appeared outside the main hall.
"My minister, Cao Xiong, meet your majesty." As soon as Cao Xiong entered the palace, he was taken aback by the devastated scene in the palace. He bowed to Zhou Shiren.
This ceremony, rather than bowing, is better than bowing. After all, with his cultivation, he has long been exempted from kneeling and other etiquette. Even if he dares to kneel, Zhou Shiren may not dare to accept it calmly.
Looking at Cao Xiong's respectful attitude, a smile appeared on Zhou Ting's face, very satisfied.
Cao Xiong was promoted before he abdicated. At that time, Cao Xiong was still a young man with a very low cultivation base, but his talent was very good. Zhou Ting also regarded him as being very loyal to the royal family. With great care and cultivation, Cao Xiong's cultivation base has now reached the upper Danxuan realm. He is one of the best in the entire Zhou Dynasty, but he still remains loyal to the royal family. Zhou Ting is very satisfied with this.
This proves that his vision was right, and it was a very wise decision to cultivate Cao Xiong.
"The Governor is exempted from the ceremony." Zhou Shiren said very politely: "The Governor, please look up."
Hearing this, Cao Xiong raised his head suspiciously, and suddenly, Zhou Ting, Zhou Tianlong and others entered his line of sight.
Looking at the figures of Zhou Ting and others, Cao Xiong was dumbfounded: "Senior Zhou Ting, the Supreme Emperor..."
His eyes finally fell on Zhou Ting, his eyes were full of shock and excitement.
"I can't believe that after so many years, you still remember me as a bad old man." Zhou Ting said with a smile: "The years are not forgiving! The little Cao of that year is actually old now."
He still remembered Cao Xiong's high-spirited appearance when he abdicated, but now, when we meet again, Cao Xiong is already old, with silver-white hair hanging from his ears, and his seemingly rosy face is also full of light of wrinkles.
Looking at the smiling Zhou Ting, Cao Xiong seemed to be back when he was young again, and his heart was excited.
He was so excited that he couldn't speak, and there was a smirk on his face.
In front of Zhou Ting, he seemed to be a child forever.
"Okay, time is running out, and we can't afford to chat with each other." Zhou Ting put away his smile and looked serious, "Xiao Cao, I heard from Shiren that he sent you to Tongzhou Mansion to investigate the situation of Cangqiong College a while ago, why? So, is there a result now?"
In the entire Zhou Dynasty, only Zhou Ting dared to call Cao Xiong Xiao Cao, and it would not make Cao Xiong feel dissatisfied.
When it comes to business, Zhou Tianlong, Zhou Shiren and others have serious expressions, and they all look at Cao Xiong, appearing slightly nervous.
Cao Xiong is trying his best to calm down his excitement, silently sorting out his thoughts, thinking about how to explain.
At this time, Zhou Shiren said: "The governor did not know anything, just now, our Zhou Dynasty came to a powerful enemy, that person's name is Yan Qiu, the elder of the Hundred Courts Alliance in Huangbei, who oversees the rating of all colleges in the Zhou Dynasty and other countries. The reason why we have not had a four-star college in the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years is that Yan Qiu is interfering with it. This time, he heard about the Cang Qiong College, and it seems that it will be detrimental to the Cang Qiong College. "
He looked at Cao Xiong and said solemnly: "I hope the Governor will tell us the truth about the situation of Cang Qiong Academy, so that we can take measures to deal with it as soon as possible to prevent any accidents from happening in Cang Qiong Academy."
Hearing this, Cao Xiong's expression became a little strange, he hesitated a little, glanced at Zhou Shiren, and then looked at Zhou Ting.
I saw Zhou Ting nodded, and said lightly: "Yes, that Yan Qiu is a strong person in the middle of the spirit rotation. I just played against him, and I can't help him at all. With his strength, if he really intends to be detrimental to the Sky Academy, the consequences will be the consequences. Incredible."
"Senior Zhou Ting, Emperor Taishang, Your Majesty..." Cao Xiong finally said, "Excuse the ministers to talk too much, this time, I'm afraid you will worry too much."
He had a smile on his face, and he didn't look worried at all.
If he hadn’t been to Cang Qiong Academy and suddenly heard that the Zhou Dynasty had come to a mid-spiritual vortex enemy, he would have panicked, but now, his vision has improved several grades, not to mention the strong spiritual vortex realm. The arrival of the powerful Li Xuanjing might not necessarily make him panic.
Zhou Shiren frowned: "Captain, didn't you hear what the ancestor just said, that Yan Qiu is a strong person in the Lingxuan Middle Realm!"
The powerhouse in the middle of the Lingxuan, even Zhou Ting, the first powerhouse in the Zhou Dynasty, a legendary figure, could not help him in the slightest.
"No, I heard it clearly." Cao Xiong was still very indifferent, his face full of confidence, "That person is the elder of the Hundred Courts Alliance, Huangbei, a strong person in the Lingxuan Middle Realm, and intends to be detrimental to the Cang Qiong Academy, Zhou Ting Senior and Your Majesty mean this, right?"
Although he didn't say everything, he probably expressed the same meaning.
Zhou Shiren was a little puzzled: "Since you heard clearly, why..."
Zhou Ting was also a little surprised and didn't quite understand what Cao Xiong meant.
"Senior, Your Majesty, the reason you are worried about Cang Qiong College is because you don't know the situation of Cang Qiong College. When you know about it, you will be the same as this minister." Cao Xiong shook his head with a smile, "Spiritual Rotation Middle Realm powerhouse ? To be honest, he doesn't want to trouble the Sky Academy, that's all, if he really dares to do so, the result will undoubtedly be miserable..."
Zhou Ting and the others looked at each other in shock.
After being silent for a while, Zhou Ting said solemnly: "Xiao Cao, I believe you, since you say so, there must be a reason. Now, please tell us the results of the investigation."
He is not in a hurry now, perhaps, the Sky Academy really doesn't need him to care.
"Yes, senior." Cao Xiong said respectfully.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Xiong raised his head and said calmly, "After I received His Majesty's order, I immediately rushed to the barren city. On the day I arrived in the barren city, I originally planned to find a tavern for a meal. Take a break, but unexpectedly, before I entered the tavern, I encountered a group of people talking about something. When I approached the door, I realized that they were talking about a person, and they actually called that person holy. division."
Zhou Ting and others all frowned, the title of Saint Master is not light.
"This minister thought it was inappropriate, and immediately said, 'Holy teacher? Not everyone can afford this title'." When Cao Xiong said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Unexpectedly, the minister's words are actually It's like poking a hornet's nest, causing a big disaster!"
Recalling the scene that night, Cao Xiong still has lingering fears, and his heart is full of fear.
Shaking his head, Cao Xiong continued: "The minister asked them who the holy teacher they were talking about was. But no one answered the minister's question. On the contrary, everyone asked the minister to apologize, and the more troublesome things got worse, the minister. I even suspected that the practitioners in the entire barren city, and even the Tongzhou Mansion, all gathered together, shouting and killing the minister, with an extremely tough attitude, demanding an immediate apology from the minister, among them, even a few strong Dan Xuanjing."
Zhou Ting and others listened quietly, no one interrupted.
They could completely imagine Cao Xiong's situation at that time, and they could fully understand Cao Xiong's mood at that time.
So, don't talk nonsense, if you say it wrong, you may die!
"Just when the minister was about to apologize, a mysterious strong man suddenly appeared." Cao Xiong's face twitched. For him, that memory was a big stain on his life, and it was also an unbearable memory." That person is the only mentor of Cang Qiong Academy, the mentor Ou mentioned in Zhou Linxin's letter!"
"Teacher Ou?" Zhou Shiren was startled, then nodded: "Yes, Zhou Lin mentioned in the letter that this person is a soul body, and his strength is not weak, he is suspected to be a strong Dan Xuan upper realm."
Zhou Ting, Zhou Tianlong and others also heard Zhou Shiren talk about Teacher Ou, and they were not impressed by this rather peculiar powerhouse.
"Danxuan Shangjing?" Cao Xiong suddenly felt a little indignant and said dissatisfied: "What kind of broken eyes is Zhou Lin? That teacher Ou is obviously a strong Lingxuan realm!"
This time, it was Zhou Ting and others' turn to be surprised. They looked at Cao Xiong in shock: "Mr. Ou is a strong person in the Spiritual Rotation Realm?"
You must know that a strong person in the Spiritual Rotation Realm is a real master. Looking at the entire wilderness continent, they are not weak. It is too difficult for ordinary people to cultivate to the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Most practitioners spend their whole lives. It is impossible to reach this realm. For hundreds of years from the Zhou Dynasty, only Zhou Ting, a powerhouse in the Spiritual Rotation Realm, has been able to peep at it.
"Unexpectedly, that mentor Ou turned out to be a strong player in the Spiritual Rotation Realm." Zhou Shiren exclaimed: "So, wouldn't the dean of the Sky Academy be stronger?"
Even the powerhouses of the Spiritual Rotation Realm can be subdued. There is no doubt that the dean of the Sky Academy definitely possesses a more tyrannical strength.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Ting, Zhou Shiren and the others all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the dean has terrifying strength, then they don't need to worry about Cang Qiong Academy anymore. As Cao Xiong said, then Yan Qiu won't go to the trouble of Cang Qiu Academy, that's all. If Yan Qiu really does this, The result will undoubtedly be disastrous. Not to mention the mysterious Dean, Mentor Ou alone is enough to make Yan Qiu drink a pot. After all, the attack method of the soul body is too strange and it is hard to prevent. Although Yan Qiu has the cultivation level of the Spiritual Rotation Middle Realm , but may not be able to fight against Master Ou.
What's more, even if Ou Shenfeng loses, isn't there a more terrifying dean?
"Haha, I do hope that Yan Qiu will hurry up and find trouble with Cang Qiong Academy." Zhou Tianlong laughed sinisterly.
Zhou Ting didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately turned his eyes to Cao Xiong and said with a smile, "Little Cao, you continue to speak."
At this time, Zhou Ting and others had completely relaxed and were not in a hurry at all.
Zhou Shiren also nodded and said: "Yes, Governor, didn't I order you to inquire about the news of the Cang Qiong Academy? Why did you come back so soon? Even if the investigation results, write a letter directly, and let the guards in the dark clothing send it quickly. But, why do you need to come back in person?"
"Report to Your Majesty, this time I came back because I have made a great discovery and must report it to Your Majesty in person." Cao Xiong's expression became serious, as if he had discovered some great secret, so much so that his voice froze. It was because of excessive excitement that he seemed a little trembling, "This matter is too important! I am afraid that it will leak out and cause chaos in the world!"
"The world? Which world?"
"The entire Wilderness Continent!" Cao Xiong said without hesitation: "I swear, if this matter is leaked, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Wilderness Continent!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into a dead silence.
Everyone looked at Cao Xiong in shock and fell silent.
