Chapter 156: The Unexpected Change of Mo Gongzhu!

  Walking aimlessly under the night sky, I unknowingly arrived in front of an auction house.

  Fei Yun Auction House, along with Xu Ri Auction House, are known as the two major auction houses of the Da Tong Empire. It can be said that aside from their mutual competition, no other auction house is able to form a rivalry with them.

  "Come on in."

  Mo Gongzhu pushed open the back door of Fei Yun Auction House.

  "What's this?" Qin Zheng was stunned.

  He found that the gatekeeper was extremely respectful to Mo Gongzhu.

  "The Flying Cloud Auction House was founded by Grandfather." Princess Ink said softly.

  Qin Zheng was also shocked.

  Mozhu continued: "Few people know that the gatekeeper is a master of the Intentional Martial Realm, who was once saved by Grandfather."

  "People all say that the old East Sea King only cares about his own cultivation and has no time to develop and expand the East Sea King's Manor, but they don't know that the old East Sea King had long been secretly accumulating power for development." Qin Zheng sighed.

  "Grandfather has just formulated a development strategy and hasn't made his move yet." Princess Mo sighed softly.

  They came to a small red building in the backyard.

  This is where Princess Mo temporarily resides.

  There is also an old man waiting in front of the building.

  Qin Zheng saw at a glance that this old man was a real power of Tianwu Realm, and he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. The power of the Donghai Royal Palace was indeed very strong, but when facing the people brought by the Jiuxi Shenlian Scripture, exposing these people would not be of much use, so they had always been hidden, making outsiders think that the real power of the Donghai Royal Palace was mediocre.

  This old man is the public face of Fei Yun Auction House.

  After seeing it, the old man floated away.

  Qin Zheng and Mo Gongzhu arrived at a tastefully decorated room upstairs, where a faint fragrance wafted through the air. It was Mo Gongzhu's room, with a beautiful bed visible behind a screen.

  Push open a window.

  Two people lean against the window and gaze at the moon.

  "I don't know how much longer I can live." Mo Gong Zhu's words slightly changed the atmosphere.

  "We have arrived at Datong Imperial City, the Xuan Yang Wang Fu is within reach, and we still have a great hope of getting the Tianyang liquid. Why must you be so downcast, Princess?" Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly; such pessimistic words didn't sound like something Mu Princess would say.

  Mo Gongzhu smiled wryly, "According to normal time calculations, think about it, how much longer is it until the one-year period I told you?"

  "Two or three months."

  "It's actually been less than a year since I told you, and specifically, it's been less than a month." Mo Gong Zhu said the true situation.

  "I had already informed you of the news about Tianyang's liquid, during winter, your strength was at the level of a Divine Warrior, why didn't you make a move ahead of time?" Qin Zheng said.

  "The situation in the Eastern Sea King's Palace is extremely complicated, and I'm completely stuck. Moreover, there's something that even I didn't expect." Princess Mo said with a bitter tone, "In the last year of my life, during winter, not only did my strength fail to recover to the Divine Martial Realm, but it actually dropped to the Heavenly Martial Realm instead."

  "Who would have thought such a thing could happen."

  Qin Zheng's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Mo Gong Zhu with a mixture of disbelief.

  Normally, Mo Gongzhu was at the Soul Martial Realm, but now she had actually fallen in realm.

  Mo Gongzhu sighed helplessly, "This is also something I didn't expect. The feeling it gives me is that my strength is constantly falling. Once I thoroughly fall below the Qi Wu boundary, I estimate I will die without any illness."

  "We must act quickly now." Qin Zheng said in a deep voice.

  "I've already had people gather intelligence on the Xuan Yang Wang Fu, it's likely to be very difficult to get our hands on, and I..." Princess Mo said up to this point, her face slightly changing color.

  She immediately sat down cross-legged.

  Qin Zheng saw that her pale face looked even more haggard, without a hint of blood color, and the whole person seemed to be even thinner, as if giving him an illusion that Mo Gongzhu was losing her life force.

  A fierce wave of breathing fluctuations came over.

  The originally robust and vigorous Mo Gongzhu suddenly became weak and frail.

  "Alas!"

  After a while, Mo Gongzhu sighed.

  "What's wrong." Qin Zheng squatted down.

  "Another small boundary has fallen." Mo Gongzhu sighed softly and stood up with her hand on Qin Zheng's shoulder.

  Qin Zheng only then realized that Mo Gong Zhu's situation was terrible.

  Even so, Mo Gongzhu still endured the pain and danger for him, pulling the Great Flame Imperial Family to a standstill, not going to Mingyang Mountain. It can be said that the one who helped him the most was undoubtedly Mo Gongzhu.

  This kind of affection is something that outsiders can't understand.

  Especially when seeing Mo Gong Zhu's current situation, it is even more heartbreaking.

  "Princess..." Qin Zheng said.

  She stretched out her slender fingers, pressed them to Qin Zheng's lips, leaned gently into his arms, and gazed up at the night sky. In a soft, melancholic tone, she said: "Since I can remember, I've been living under the torment of this heavenly fate, the Wu Mai. When I thought there was hope to escape this calamity, the Eastern Sea King's mansion suffered a decline in influence due to grandfather's poor health, and various forces began to circle like tigers eyeing their prey. My father couldn't bear the weight of the old dragon's Wu Mai either, so everything fell on my shoulders. Until the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra incident triggered a huge crisis, I thought I would never be able to save the Eastern Sea King's mansion... but then you appeared."

  "Qin Zheng, you may not know that in my short life, you are the only one besides my grandfather who makes me feel safe and is also the only one who allows me to put down all the psychological burdens in my heart and sleep peacefully. I'm really tired, I don't want any pressure at this last moment of my life, I just want to lean on your arms and fall asleep."

  Listening to Mo Gong Zhu's inner words, Qin Zheng felt a hint of sourness.

  It's hard to imagine what it's like for someone who has known since childhood that their life won't last long. It's even more unimaginable that when there was hope, it was precisely when the old East Sea King, who had been supporting the East Sea Kingdom, was walking towards death. In his lifetime, the East Sea Kingdom was so glorious, with countless people paying homage. But as soon as he died, the kingdom instantly entered its most dangerous moment, and only Princess Mo could hold it up.

  All of this is unbearable for ordinary people.

  Qin Zheng lowered his head and looked at Mo Gong Zhu, but saw that she was sleeping like a child.

  Gently embracing Mo Gongzhu, looking at her face without a single thread of blood, the heart is filled with an indescribable flavor.

  "Alas!"

  "In such a state as yours, you still risk the downfall of the Donghai royal family to help me restrain the power of the Dayan imperial court."

  "Princess, I will definitely get the Tianyang liquid."

  Qin Zheng made a silent vow in his heart.

  Around 3 or 4 in the morning, Qin Zheng put Mo Gongzhu on her bed and covered her with a quilt before quietly leaving Feiyun Auction House.

  He rushed straight to the Xuan Yang Wang Fu.

  This time period is when people sleep most soundly, and it's also the best time for stealing things.

  As for the situation of the Xuan Yang Wang Fu, Qin Zheng also wanted to investigate it personally.

  Indeed, there are situations that Qin Zheng cannot handle on his own, and he would consider seeking help from the Crown Prince of Datong, Lu Tianlang. He believes that within the imperial family of Datong, there must be experts who have surpassed the Soul Martial Realm. Through trade, it's not impossible to obtain the Tianyang Liquid from the Xuan Yang King, but for now, caution is still needed.

  At first, Shunfeng'er already knew that he would inevitably get the Tianyang liquid, and it was difficult to say whether Shunfeng'er would notify Xuan Yang Wang in advance to destroy the Tianyang liquid or give it away. If such a thing really happened, that would be the worst.

  With Shun Feng Er's temperament, Qin Zheng really didn't dare guarantee that Tian Yang Zhi Ye was still in Xuan Yang Wang Fu.

  He didn't think it was convenient to tell Princess Mo about this matter yet.

  What made him even more passive was that, originally according to his idea, Mo Gongzhu should be in the realm of Shenwu now, and there were still two or three months before his deadline. No matter what situation arose, he could easily cope with it. Who knew that the situation would change so suddenly, and Qin Zheng, who had just relaxed for a month, would have his pressure increased exponentially.

  All he knows now is that the mention of the Xuan Yang Wang Fu in the memory crystal ball left by Shun Feng Er, because Shun Feng Er did not pay special attention to this aspect, so the intelligence is very scarce, only mentioning that Xuan Yang Wang is a high-level power in the Tian Wu realm, and there is still great potential to be tapped.

  The Xuan Yang Wang Fu covers a large area of land and is also built with grandeur.

  At first glance, it's just a small town in the city.

  Qin Zheng did not use the three-pronged demonic bone awl to prevent being discovered, but instead stepped on the ground with his feet and looked around in mid-air to observe the situation of Xuan Yang Wang Fu.

  The golden mallet was hidden from view under the hazy moonlight.

  He quietly entered the Xuan Yang Wang Fu.

  As for the layout of the Xuan Yang Wang Fu, he wasn't very clear about it, but having lived in the Dong Hai Wang Fu for many years also made it easy for him to distinguish which areas were where important figures resided.

  So while casually glancing around in mid-air, I basically confirmed several locations.

  First of all, it was a region in the northwest corner. This place looked inconspicuous, but the layout inside the courtyard was quite different, obviously only for the master, with a huge difference from those courtyards where servants lived.

  Qin Zheng flew directly over.

  Before he fell on the wall, a small black dog suddenly rushed out of the dark shadow of the yard, baring its mouth and revealing sharp teeth, emitting a sharp bark.

  The sound was entirely different from a dog's bark, very sharp and fine, and it rang out particularly loudly in the stillness of the night.

  "Soulful Devil Dog!"

  "How could such a monster appear in this place."

  Qin Zheng was greatly shocked and his feet stomped on the ground as he dodged away instantly.

  Lingxin Yaquan, this is a kind of demon beast with little combat power, but its perception of life force is extraordinary and transcendent. It can be said that even those extremely special martial arts, such as Shadow Movement and Shadow Pulse, are difficult to detect, but the Lingxin Yaquan can easily expose them.

  It can be said that having a Lingxin demon dog is impossible to sneak into secretly.

  It's precisely because of this that those who possess the Lingxin Demon Dogs are all high-ranking individuals, and Qin Zheng never thought that in the Xuan Yang Wang Fu, there would actually be such a demonic beast.

  He quickly retreated, wanting to hide in a hidden place, secretly waiting for an opportunity to observe.

  Before it could be hidden, a massive oppressive force surged out from the small courtyard where the Ling Heart Demon Dog was.
