Wang Kaitai patted An Zheng's shoulder: "Don't worry, the palace is already heavily guarded outside, there won't be any problems. Furthermore, you have already seen those stones in the Jushang Yard, so there shouldn't be any problems. If there was one, it would also be in that box. No matter how sincere You Nationality is, if there is no need, he will not bring the Flowing Maple Knife over to King of Yan, all you need to do is pay attention to that box. "

An Zheng nodded, but just as he was about to leave, he was pulled back by Fang Daozhi: "This is for you."

An Zheng subconsciously took it and looked at it. He realized that it was a very small thing, and it looked like a brush.

"Something my father used."

Fang Daozhi said indifferently, as if there was nothing special about him. An Zheng thanked him but did not pay too much attention to it. He held the pen in his hand.

An Zheng walked to the platform in front of the Extreme Heaven Palace and stood in front of Mu Changyan.

Mu Changyan stood up, and pulled An Zheng's hand as he walked in front of the various officials, "All of you should know that there were people from the Jushang Yard who had helped my Great Yan gain face, but are you aware that this was only a fifteen year old youngster?"

Actually, everyone knew about it, but in order to cooperate with King of Yan, they had a f * cking expression on their faces.

Mu Changyan said: "People say that a young hero comes out, but from the way I see it, An Zheng is the hero of my Great Yan. He was young and knowledgeable. Moreover, he wholeheartedly built his career for the Great Yan. Now, he had successfully advanced to the Martial Arts Academy. Lone King thinks that this is not enough, in a few days, he will be at Grand Autumn Ceremony, and he will have to see you at Grand Autumn Ceremony, is that okay? "

An Zheng said: "Thank you Great King for your love, but Great Yan is full of talented people, with this lowly ability of mine, if you want to enter Grand Autumn Ceremony, it will be too difficult."

Mu Changyan laughed loudly: "I know, there are indeed a lot of talented people in the young generation of Great Yan right now. Forget about other places, even the names of a few people in Fanggu City were always in his heart. The Su Feilun of the Great Cauldron Academy, the Feng Xiuyang of the Uppermost Tao Field, and the Nie Qing of the martial academy were all geniuses that only appeared once every hundred years. Now with An Zheng, why wouldn't my Great Yan be worried? "

All the officials of the Yan Kingdom bowed their heads and cupped their fists: "God bless Great Yan, God bless King!"

Mu Changyan was obviously happy, he pointed to the stage and said: "The envoys from You Kingdom said that everything that was cut out from the stones were given to him, but it is obviously boring. Why don't you go up first and tell them what's in the stone, or not. If you are wrong, I will punish you. "

Seeing the look in Mu Changyan's eyes, An Zheng knew that Mu Changyan was actually worried about something as well. An Zheng had seen most of the stones in the Jushang Yard and was sure that there was nothing inside. But now that the You Nationality had moved to the Tianji Palace, this was of course especially true.

An Zheng nodded his head: "Then this subject will be making a fool of myself."

He turned around and walked up the stage, but the red-robed clergyman had a strange expression on his face, as if he did not care about An Zheng at all even though he knew An Zheng would come up.

"Prince An, we meet again."

red-robed clergyman cupped his fists.

An Zheng also cupped his fists and replied, "We meet again."

red-robed clergyman said: "Have you seen these stones, Prince An?"

An Zheng nodded: "I have."

red-robed clergyman asked: "Then I believe that you already know what is inside."

An Zheng shook his head: "I still have to take a closer look."

red-robed clergyman made a inviting gesture: "Then I'll have to invite Prince An to take a look, I am also extremely impressed by your abilities previously, I am fortunate to be able to meet you again,'s divine technique, it is also my luck."

An Zheng did not dare to be careless, and stopped to look at the stones carefully. This was especially true for the one meter tall rock. He circled it a few times, but he still could not find any clues. No matter how he looked at it, with An Zheng's eyesight, he was sure that there were no spirit stone inside. There were still the auras of Demonic Beast Cores and pill but there was absolutely no aura of spirit stone. An Zheng was silent for a long time, but he muttered in his heart. If only Good Lord was here, but An Zheng did not dare to let him out in this situation.

"Nope."

An Zheng pointed to a rock the size of a watermelon.

Tianji Palace's stonecutter came up and skillfully cut open the stone. As expected, there was nothing.

Everyone cheered as An Zheng proved himself once again.

red-robed clergyman stood at the side and clapped. He was not stingy in his praise and admiration of An Zheng in the slightest.

"Prince An, I still have to say the same thing. If you are willing to go to great netherworld, you will receive more than what you have received today. I think we all know how much you can do for a country by yourself. "

His words were said softly, but it was a good thing for An Zheng to say it so straightforwardly in such a situation.

King Yan Mu Changyan was only a few meters away from him, so they could clearly hear his every word. Mu Changyan slightly frowned, while Su Qingnuan had the intention to kill.

An Zheng laughed and said, "I don't know if this divine official has ever heard of it, but twenty years ago, a painter appeared in the You Kingdom. The calligraphy brush looked like it belonged to a god. The painting was passed down in Da Xi, and even the Saint Emperor of Great Xi was praising it endlessly as he sent people over to ask for the painting several times. Da Xi's people were naturally overbearing and arrogant. Therefore, every time they went there, they would tell the painter, "Your treatment in the You Kingdom is not good. If you go to my Da Xi, you will definitely get something." The first time it was nothing, the second time it was nothing, the second time it was said so many times that the King of Nether was angered, casually trying to find an excuse to cut the painter's head off. "

red-robed clergyman's expression became ugly, and he laughed awkwardly: "Of course I know about the painter Du QIang, but Du QIang is involved in the conspiracy, so he deserved to die."

An Zheng laughed: "I'm just afraid that if I die in the future, I would also deserve to die."

Mu Changyan laughed loudly: "An Zheng, you can rest assured. I am not King of Nether."

An Zheng turned around and bowed, "Thank you, Great King."

Empress Dowager Su could not help but nod his head, thinking that this youth was not that annoying. She had never had any good feelings towards the You Kingdom, even when he came to her to make peace with her with a great gift, her disgust towards him hadn't changed in the slightest. Furthermore, this An Zheng was truly bringing honor to the Yan Kingdom, and his attitude towards Su Qingnuan was also changing.

An Zheng no longer paid any attention to the red-robed clergyman as he pointed to the three stones in front of him.

The craftsmen of the Tianji Palace did not even cut three stones.

The crowd started to cheer, and the eyes of many of the aristocratic young ladies who accompanied their father to the banquet began to shine. In any era, it would be difficult for a young girl with her first love to resist a young hero. An Zheng's current indifferent yet confident temperament could simply captivate others.

An Zheng walked over to inspect the stone once more, then extended his hand and pressed onto the stone to sense its surroundings. In the end, he shook his head: "Your Majesty, I can't see anything wrong with this stone."

"Can't tell?"

Mu Changyan was slightly startled: "There's actually still a stone that you can't tell. Since that's the case, then let's let others try it. If any of you feel that you can, go up and give it a try. "

An Zheng retreated to the side, his eyes continued staring at the big boulder, feeling that it was a little strange.

Some people began to ascend the stage, and then they all left while shaking their heads. In the end, even a few grandmasters who had not fought for many years had come up. After walking around the rock, they were unsure of what was going on. Some of them did not see it, while some others thought that there were no spirit stone among them, but An Zheng's attitude made them more cautious and hesitant. Even if An Zheng said that they could not see through it, they did not dare to say for sure that they could.

Empress Dowager Su Qing Wen said: "This is quite strange. An ordinary stone, just a little big is nothing, but there are so many talented people who are actually at a loss for what to do. Li Changlu, I know you have done a bit of research on this, you should go and take a look too. "

Li Changlu immediately lowered his head: "This servant has such insignificant ability, how could I dare take it out to make a fool of myself? However, this servant heard that Prince Su's Su Feilun, Feng Shen Xiu was far away and had sharp eyes, why not let him see? "

Empress Dowager Su's face suddenly became better looking, thinking that Li Changlu really knew how to behave.

"Then let Su Feilun come up and take a look?"

Empress Dowager Su turned to Mu Changyan and asked.

Mu Changyan of course couldn't refute him: "Then let him take a look."

In truth, how could Mu Changyan not know that the Empress Dowager Su was deliberately using Su Feilun to suppress the others? As long as they could suppress An Zheng on this occasion, the reputation of the strongest amongst the young generation of Su Feilun would be announced for real.

Amongst the crowd, Su Feilun walked up with a calm expression and saluted in turn. Then, he turned around and cupped his fists towards An Zheng. "Prince An."

An Zheng returned the greeting, "Prince Su, please."

Su Feilun said seriously: "If you can't tell, so can I."

After he finished speaking, he bowed once more towards Su Qingnuan and then turned around to leave.

The scene immediately became somewhat awkward. Su Qingnuan clenched his hands and a hint of anger leaked out of his eyes. This Su Feilun really disappointed her. She wanted to hold him up at this kind of occasion, but Su Feilun didn't appreciate her effort at all.

Su Feilun left and everyone around him became silent.

Mu Changyan stifled a laugh, coughed a few times, and said, "Since you can't even tell, this stone really is magical. I might as well cut it open and take a look. If there really is a treasure, it would be an auspicious sign from the heavens that would benefit my Great Yan.

The craftsman quickly went over, placed the lithotome on the rock, and forcefully lowered his wrist ? Pa! The lithotome broke.

Normal lithotome s were also expensive, like the lithotome s used by the craftsmen in Yan Kingdom, which could be considered a treasure in itself. However, such a sharp and sturdy lithotome was able to break under the pressure. It was clear how tough the stone layer was.

"Change the sabre."

The blacksmith wiped the sweat off his forehead, and his disciple immediately brought a new set of lithotome over.

Cut again.

Another cut.

There was not even a white mark on the stone.

An Zheng's expression became solemn, and his brows knitted tightly. No wonder this rock looked so strange. When I first saw it, I felt that there was nothing inside because the layer of rock was too tough and blocked the Qi inside. After breaking two lithotome in a row, this simple-looking stone could be considered a treasure.

"Change again!"

The craftsman's voice trembled as he shouted, with a tone that revealed his heartache. To a blacksmith, a lithotome's life was akin to a root. To lose two in a row was too much for him. The third lithotome was also the last one.

Pa! The lithotome broke again.

"Looks like I've really encountered a problem."

The red-robed clergyman by the side said with a smile that was not a smile: "I seem to have underestimated this rock too, three lithotome could not cut it open. Let alone if it contains a spirit stone, even if it does not contain anything, this rock itself is still a treasure. If it could stop lithotome, then even ordinary feather arrow weapons would not be able to break through it.

"This humble subject will give it a try."

The guard beside Mu Changyan walked over, drew his blade, and slashed down as if it was flowing water.

With a dang sound, sparks flew all over the rock. The leader of the guards was so shaken that he retreated a few steps. Lowering his head, he saw that a gap had appeared in the long knife of the red rank.

"Hahahaha."

red-robed clergyman laughed loudly. "Looks like if this goes on, I don't even know how many good things I'll destroy. How about ? I will call out the Flowing Maple Knife now? "

Everyone realized that he was using this stone to show off his Flowing Maple Knife. Without waiting for King of Yan to speak, red-robed clergyman opened the chest and immediately, a wave of purple light soared to the sky.

With both hands, he brought out an ancient long knife. With a pleased look in his eyes, he said, "This is my great netherworld's most precious treasure. Everyone, please look!"

With a flip of his wrist, he grabbed the Flowing Maple Knife and hacked down with his blade.

The audience cried out in alarm.

But right after, there seemed to be something within the rock that let out a mournful cry. From the slit in the rock, a stream of blood slowly flowed out.
