Chapter 317 You are here
The fake Jin Xing has been assassinated, so the sleeping one should be the real Jin Xing.
As Xiao Hei expected, something really happened to Jin Xing, otherwise he would not be sleeping in at this time, and he would not have a fake person hanging around outside.
Under the induction of the demon armor, this underground space is filled with countless emotional energies, like an ocean of energy.
However, there is a leak valve in this sea, and that is Jin Xing who is lying on the pyramid. The extremely high concentration of emotional energy in the air is slowly being injected into his body.
Looking at this scene, Shen Cheng suddenly had a guess in his mind - there was something wrong with Jin Xing's body, and Yongle City used the fake Jin Xing to continue holding entertainment celebrations, absorbing the emotional abilities of tens of millions of people to treat Jin Xing.
The target was just ahead, but Shen Cheng didn't dare to go over to check on Jin Xing's situation because he saw two people.
One of them was Jin Yan, whom Shen Cheng had met not long ago. Although he had never seen the other one, he could guess from his appearance that he should be the second Duke of Yongle City, Yu Feng.
Yu Feng seemed to want to go to the pyramid, but Jin Yan stood in front of him and the two were in a confrontation.
Shen Cheng's appearance instantly attracted the attention of both of them.
Seeing Shen Cheng falling to the ground in a miserable state along with the waterfall-like water flow, the two dukes were slightly stunned, especially Jin Yan, who had already recognized Shen Cheng.
He didn't understand himself. He had clearly ordered the guards to put Shen Cheng under house arrest, so why was he able to run to this place in one breath?
When the two sides are in a standoff, if a third party suddenly appears, it is very likely to trigger a buff of unanimous opposition, especially since Jin Yan and Yu Feng belong to the same camp.
But the premise of this situation is that the third party who accidentally breaks in poses enough threat.
Shen Cheng's disguise was extremely successful. The special substance covering the surface of his body perfectly isolated his energy fluctuations, leaving only a small opening created by himself.
Neither Jin Yan nor Yu Feng, the two dukes could see Shen Cheng's true strength and only regarded him as an ordinary extraordinary person.
To the Duke, the extraordinary is no different from an ant on the roadside. No one will give up the fight because of an ant passing by unexpectedly.
So Jin Yan and Yu Feng simply ignored Shen Cheng and continued their confrontation.
Shen Cheng's heart was pounding. If these two people saw through his disguise, he would have to face the siege of both of them at the same time.
He pretended to fall to the ground in embarrassment and looked up at the confrontation between the two dukes.
This scene reminded Shen Cheng of Qiu Nuan's gossip - there were two forces fighting openly and secretly inside Yongle City, and this scene just verified the authenticity of the gossip.
Shen Cheng had previously speculated that there was a traitor in Yongle City, which was why Gao Yi and his gang made such a big fuss. Now it seems that his guess was correct, but he didn't know whether the traitor was Jin Yan or Yu Feng.
While Shen Cheng was thinking, Jin Yan and Yu Feng had already started communicating.
"Step aside."
Unlike Jin Yan's cold and hard voice, Yu Feng's voice is full of warmth and is the type that is full of emotion.
He shouted at Jin Yan to move aside and wanted to get closer to Jin Xing by the pyramid.
Jin Yan did not move aside, but asked coldly: "Why did you do this?"
Yu Feng asked back: "What did I do?"
"I handed over the security department of Yongle City to you, but you still wanted to get involved in the military and put your people in a lot of key positions."
Jin Yan told Yu Feng everything he had done, "That group of murderers from the Qin Wang Territory killed people everywhere, and you didn't arrest them, but you even provided them with convenience. You let the substitute of Lord Jin Xing appear one minute earlier, which led to the assassination of the murderer. The secret of Lord Jin Xing's accident was leaked to the whole world, and you also transferred all the guards of the toy city. What are you doing? Are you rebelling?"
When he spoke later, Jin Yan's tone was already stern and rebuking.
Yu Feng knew that what he had done could not be concealed from anyone: "Since you already knew about it, why didn't you stop me in advance?"
"Because I want to know if you will ever come back to the right path."
Jin Yan looked at Yu Feng with regretful eyes. The two were good friends who had known each other for many years and had fought side by side countless times.
But I don’t know when it started, but a gap gradually appeared between the two of them. They could no longer be honest with each other, and could no longer understand each other’s actions.
Perhaps the seeds of hostility were sown when Lord Jin Xing got into trouble.
Without Jin Xing, Yongle City does not need two leaders, nor does it need two completely opposite opinions.
Yu Feng was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Compared to what you did, my actions can only be regarded as a minor incident."
Jin Yan frowned: "Please explain clearly."
"Does this need to be said?"
Yu Feng opened his arms: "After Lord Jin Xing got into trouble, you stole the power of the entire Yongle City, and all I'm doing is taking it back."
"steal?"
Jin Yan was a little bit unbelievable: "What are you talking about? Lord Jin Xing handed Yongle City to me before he fell asleep, and you were there at that time..."
"Why?!"
Yu Feng interrupted Jin Yan in a deep voice: "In terms of achievements and strength, how am I worse than you? Why should I hand over Yongle City to you? Is it because you are the servant of Master Jin Xing, and I am not?"
Jin Yan's voice also lowered: "Are you questioning Master Jin Xing's decision?"
"Yes, I am questioning it."
Yu Feng looked past Jin Yan and looked at Jin Xing who was sleeping on top of the pyramid: "Even if Lord Jin Xing wakes up now, I will say the same thing."
Jin Yan looked at this old friend as if he was looking at a stranger.
This look seemed to hurt Yu Feng, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why, do you think I am not worthy of controlling the entire Yongle City?"
"No, your ability is no worse than mine."
Jin Yan shook his head: "I'll hand over Yongle City to you, and you can run it prosperously."
Yu Feng's eyes fluctuated slightly, as if he didn't expect that he could receive such high praise from this old friend: "Then why don't you hand over Yongle City to me."
"Because of your ambition!"
Jin Yan stared into Yu Feng's eyes and said, "Once you gain control of Yongle City, you will start a war, right?"
Yu Feng remained silent because Jin Yan had completely hit the nail on the head.
"From the moment you got involved in the army, I knew that your goal was not Yongle City, but to use Yongle City to start a war against Qin Wang Territory and Baiye Kingdom."
Jin Yan's voice became stern again: "You sneaked here to steal the eternal blood from Master Jin Xing, right?" "Steal? Don't say it so harshly, I just borrowed it."
Yu Feng sneered, "Twenty years ago, I proposed to Lord Jin Xing that we take advantage of Bai Jun's disappearance to conquer Bai Ye Country, but he refused to accept my proposal, which led to the loss of the opportunity. Now Qin Hao, who is under the leadership of King Qin, is in trouble. I have already missed an opportunity, and I cannot miss it a second time."
He extended his hand to Jin Yan and invited him, "Jin Yan, join forces with me, just like we fought side by side many years ago. Without the Blood King, we can unify the entire Eternal Empire."
Jin Yan ignored Yu Feng's invitation and instead issued an ultimatum: "I'll give you one last chance, leave here immediately."
"Haha, you still like to talk to me in this condescending tone."
Yu Feng smiled a little nervously and said loudly: "I am not your subordinate, put away your condescending attitude, get out of the way immediately, and don't block me anymore!"
Jin Yan remained indifferent, but the warmth in his eyes gradually faded as he looked at Yu Feng.
If he had looked at Yu Feng before, he was looking at an old friend who had gone astray, and there was still room for salvation.
Now, the way he looked at Yu Feng was like he was looking at a real enemy.
Yu Feng also clearly felt that Jin Yan's attitude had changed, but this was exactly what he desired.
"Want to kill me? That's just what I want!"
Yu Feng sneered, looking past Jin Yan and staring at the sleeping figure on the pyramid: "Right in front of Lord Jin Xing, I will defeat you with my own hands and prove that he chose the wrong person from the beginning."
However, Jin Yan had lost the desire to communicate with him.
The two sides stared at each other silently, their momentum becoming stronger and stronger, even turning into a tangible gale.
The originally peaceful underground space began to become turbulent. With Jin Yan and Yu Feng as the center, the substantial momentum formed two huge tornadoes that constantly collided and rubbed against each other.
The wind was howling and lightning was thundering.
Just by releasing the aura, he easily changed the weather in this space, creating the appearance of a natural disaster.
Shen Cheng was blown up by the strong wind and had to grab a big rock with his hands to avoid being blown away.
Of course, he was just pretending. He had to pretend to be weak so that Jin Yan and Yu Feng could fight each other without worry.
boom!
Suddenly, accompanied by a loud bang like a bolt from the blue, a huge hole that went straight to the ground was blasted out at the top of the underground space.
The raging wind finally disappeared, taking Jin Yan and Yu Feng with it.
The two obviously knew that the place might be completely destroyed in the underground space, so they ran outside tacitly.
Are they really confident in leaving Shen Cheng, a stranger, here? Aren’t they afraid that he will do something strange to Jin Xing’s body?
If this happened to someone else, Jin Xing might wake up and find his butt hurting, as if he had turned from a chrysanthemum into a sunflower.
Shen Cheng patted the ashes off his body and looked up at the hole at the top.
Before coming, he didn't expect to see such a good show. Gao Yi was just making a small fuss. The one who would really make big news would have to depend on Yu Feng.
No wonder Jin Yan's reaction was quite strange when the fake Jin Xing was assassinated. It turned out that he had known for a long time that it was Yu Feng who was behind all this, so he hurried back to the toy city to stop Yu Feng from stealing Jin Xing's eternal blood.
As for Yu Feng's ambition, Shen Cheng suspected that he might have been looked down upon by Jin Xing for a long time, and his status had always been lower than Jin Yan's. The dissatisfaction in his heart had accumulated over time and reached a critical point, so he wanted to prove himself by seizing power and launching a war.
The battle between the two dukes might take a long time, but Shen Cheng didn't want to waste time and flew towards the pyramid immediately.
As soon as you get close, you can feel that there is a defense line built around the pyramid with countless emotional energies. Anyone who touches it will go crazy at best, and their brain will be destroyed at worst.
Even a master wouldn't dare to break into this line of defense easily. Only an ace could get through.
No wonder Jin Yan and Yu Feng dared to leave Shen Cheng here alone without worrying about what he would do to Jin Xing's body. It turned out that they had already taken precautions against the pyramid.
Shen Cheng used mind magic to protect himself, easily passed through this emotional energy, and reached the top of the pyramid without any hindrance.
Just by getting close, one can feel a strong sense of oppression coming towards him, similar to what Jin Yan and Yu Feng felt.
Jin Xing was just sleeping peacefully, but the aura he automatically exuded made it difficult for anyone below the ace level to approach him.
With caution and alertness, Shen Cheng landed beside the bed and looked down at Jin Xing who was sleeping on the bed.
This was his first time looking at a legend up close. The other party was just sleeping, but he tensed up his whole body unconsciously and an unmatched feeling rose in his heart.
If Jin Xing was still awake, Shen Cheng would have no other option but to escape.
The energy sensing of the demon armor could not even sense any energy fluctuations emanating from Jin Xing's body.
In other words, this big guy is able to perfectly control the energy in his body without any leakage, and can make himself like an ordinary person.
Looking at the soundly sleeping Jin Xing, Shen Cheng couldn't help but feel an impulse rising in his heart.
Don't get me wrong, this impulse had nothing to do with any perverted thoughts. He just wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the source of this legend's power and his body structure.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Which legend would offer his body for research like this?
The only danger is, will Jin Xing be woken up?
Although judging from the performance of Jin Yan and Yu Feng, the possibility of Jin Xing waking up is very low, otherwise Yu Feng would not want to come and steal the Eternal Blood.
Benefits are always accompanied by risks. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Shen Cheng finally made up his mind to reach out.
Even if Jin Xing wakes up, he still has a chance to escape. He can't let go of this unique opportunity just because of a little risk.
Shen Cheng’s first target was Jin Xing’s fingers. He took one off to study its structure.
Just at the moment of touching Jin Xing's body, Shen Cheng suddenly felt his body becoming lighter, as if he had entered space from the ground where all gravity had been lost.
Everything around was disappearing quickly, and the Jin Star, pyramids, and underground space that could be seen in the field of vision were slowly fading.
Oops!
After this thought emerged in Shen Cheng's mind, his vision turned completely dark. He could not see or hear anything, not even his own heartbeat.
Shen Cheng has experienced this situation many times and knows that this is a situation that will only occur every time he travels through a parallel world.
But why would one be sent to a parallel world if one touched Jin Xing's body?
When the darkness disappeared, Shen Cheng felt dizzy, as if he had been thrown into a washing machine and had been spinning wildly for three days and three nights.
Before he could observe his surroundings clearly, a person appeared in front of his sight, a person who looked exactly like him.
"You came."
Du Tianming pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers.
