My Hidden Strength Was Exposed by the Heavenly Dao Ranking List – Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Looting the Western Xia Imperial Palace

Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Western Xia.

This is Yinchuan in later generations.

Here, during the Later Zhou Dynasty, it was Huaiyuan County under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the county was abolished and became a town.

In 1020 AD, Li Deming dispatched Minister He Chengzhen to supervise the laborers, cross the Yellow River to the north to build a city, construct city gates, palaces, ancestral temples, and royal farmlands, and established the capital here, naming it Xingzhou.

After Li Deming’s son, Li Yuanhao （, also known as Emperor Jingzong of Western Xia ）, succeeded to the throne, he expanded the palace city in 1033, built more palaces, and promoted Xingzhou to Xingqing Prefecture. Here, he formally established civil and military ranks and established the Western Xia ruling institutions.

From then on, successive emperors of Western Xia made this their capital.

This time, Li Ganshun, along with Yeli Tongtian, led an army of 300,000 men to attack the Song side, which was already the full strength of the nation. Even in the capital, only 20,000 troops remained.

Twenty thousand troops could defend against others.

But to say they could defend against Zhong Shidao and Peng Feng, two Land Immortal level fighters, was simply a joke.

Zhong Shidao and Peng Feng easily entered Xingqing Prefecture.

Then, they didn’t need anyone to guide them.

They headed directly for the imperial palace of Western Xia.

Those who dared to block their path were naturally killed on the spot.

Emperor Li Ganshun also usually locked some secret treasures in the imperial secret treasury, which could not be entered without Li Ganshun’s key.

But.

Zhong Shidao didn’t care about that. He directly used the Great Divine Demon Skill, unleashing his full power, and with a “boom,” he directly penetrated the ten-centimeter-thick steel plate of the secret treasury.

Then, he easily stepped into the secret treasury.

Inside the secret treasury were treasures, cultivation techniques, famous swords, pills, natural treasures, and more.

Zhong Shidao said, “I am your senior, and you are my junior, so you choose first. You take half, and the rest is mine.”

“Okay. Then this junior will choose first.” Peng Feng nodded.

How many good things would be in the secret treasury of a country’s emperor?

The first thing to choose would be treasures. This secret treasury contained a large amount of gold, which, if converted to silver, should be three to four million taels. So, they would split it in half, with each taking two million taels of silver.

Silver could be used to buy pills, cultivation techniques, and weapons, which were also very important for martial artists.

The second thing to choose would be cultivation techniques.

In this secret treasury, they found a large number of good cultivation techniques.

He picked and chose, selecting the number one body-refining defense technique of Western Xia—the Indestructible Golden Body Skill. It was said that this technique was passed down by Li Yuanhao, who relied on it to withstand the attacks of other Land Immortals.

Back then, Li Yuanhao fought against two or three Land Immortals from the Song side, relying on this technique.

However, this Indestructible Golden Body Skill was too difficult to cultivate.

For nearly a hundred years, no one else had been able to master it.

Peng Feng vaguely felt that this Indestructible Golden Body Skill might be able to merge with Shaolin Temple’s Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill, and then it could transform into an even stronger defensive technique.

He wanted this technique.

Not only that.

He also discovered the Extreme Speed Divine Saber Slash, a unique move from Yeli Tongtian’s set of skills, the Extreme Speed Divine Saber Slash.

If he could merge the Extreme Speed Divine Saber Slash with his own Bai Family Divine Saber Technique, what would happen? It would definitely be quite effective.

Besides that, there were a few other good cultivation techniques.

But Peng Feng didn’t have time to practice too many. After all, no matter how strong his talent was, practicing cultivation techniques took time, and he simply couldn’t practice too many techniques.

The third thing to choose was pills and natural treasures.

Here, they discovered the Snow Mountain Supreme Creation Pill, the strongest pill of the Western Region Tantra Sect, which could allow a Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator to advance their realm.

But it was too rare, and the price was too expensive. If you weren’t part of the imperial family, who could afford it?

Peng Feng directly consumed it on the spot, and then, he forcibly advanced from the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Eighth Level directly to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Level, which saved him a year of cultivation time.

He also discovered golden dragon blood.

That’s right!

In ancient times, it was said that there were… true dragons.

And now, the imperial families of various countries would more or less store some dragon blood.

And dragon blood had many uses, one of which was the special ability to better break through to the Land Immortal Realm.

Peng Feng directly took half of the dragon blood, which was one gourd of dragon blood.

◈◈◈

This dragon blood didn’t seem like much, but Peng Feng definitely wouldn’t use it all himself. He could give it to his wife and children in the future.

Peng Feng also found a Thousand-Year Cold Jade Bed, which could speed up the cultivation of internal energy. Without saying anything, he directly moved it away.

The fourth thing was divine weapons.

Peng Feng now had two famous sabers.

The Sun Devouring Blade could cut through all non-famous sabers.

The Xinting Saber could increase his attack power by 30,000 jin.

He wasn’t lacking in famous sabers.

But he discovered the Cloud-Stepping Boots, which could increase movement speed.

Then he would take these Cloud-Stepping Boots.

He also took the Azure Frost Sword from among the Thirty-Six Famous Swords.

Azure Frost Sword: An ancient famous sword.

The sword light of this sword was as cold as frost and snow, hence the name. When this sword was used, it emitted a shocking cold aura, which could be given to Li Qingzhao, who practiced the Ten Directions Freezing Demon Path.

It could be said that this time, Peng Feng’s looting of the Western Xia emperor had been very fruitful.

Silver, cultivation techniques, divine weapons, pills, and various natural treasures.

It could only be said that looting the Western Xia imperial palace was really awesome!!!

“This junior has finished choosing, it’s this senior’s turn.”

Zhong Shidao also unceremoniously started choosing, picking only the good things.

◈◈◈

Of course, after choosing the items.

Peng Feng didn’t rush to leave the Western Xia imperial city.

Instead, he went to the Western Xia First Rank Hall.

The Western Xia First Rank Hall was the assassin and intelligence organization of Western Xia.

It was always extremely sinister.

Hearing the name of the Western Xia First Rank Hall, people would be terrified.

But now.

Peng Feng was sitting arrogantly in the main hall of the Western Xia First Rank Hall, with a deputy hall master of the Western Xia First Rank Hall kneeling below him.

The Western Xia First Rank Hall had two deputy hall masters. One had run away, and the other was caught by Peng Feng while trying to escape.

Peng Feng said lazily, “Your Western Xia First Rank Hall does assassination and intelligence work. Then you should also know.

Your Western Xia First Rank Hall leader, Renzhong Yaohong, died in my hands not long ago. Your Western Xia’s second Land Immortal, Yeli Tongtian, also died in my hands not long ago. Do you want to live?”

Needless to say, this deputy hall master of the Western Xia First Rank Hall definitely wanted to live.

Peng Feng said, “Now I’ll give you two choices.

First, tell me who told your Western Xia about my departure from the capital and my route, and you can live.

Second, if you don’t say who this person is, you die.”

The deputy hall master of the Western Xia First Rank Hall immediately said, “It’s Cai Jing, Cai Jing wants you dead.”

“Why does Cai Jing want me dead?” Peng Feng was puzzled. “Forget it, no matter what reason he has for wanting me dead. After I return to the capital, I’ll hammer him to death.”

After saying that!

He directly attacked.

He crippled the deputy hall master’s martial arts.

He said he would spare his life.

But he didn’t say he would leave his martial arts intact.

If he kept his martial arts, wouldn’t he just go and kill people from the Song Dynasty in the future???

At this time, far away, Cai Jing shivered again.
