Wei Qingyan disguised herself as a man since childhood, defended the empire, and expanded its territory, but died on her triumphant return. Revived from death, she became a soul guide, resolving gr...
Chapter 511 Finding the Master
Wei Qingyan and Abu took Xing'er, the fifth prince and Mingsang and set out for Pu State first, while Shi Yu led the army following.
As soon as Xing'er entered the palace, she ran towards Emperor Pu, "Father."
Looking at her father who had aged so much, Xing'er's eyes filled with tears. "Father, don't worry. Mother and the others will be fine."
On the way here, Abu comforted her all the way, and she believed Abu.
Emperor Pu hugged his daughter, then looked at Wei Qingyan and Abu, "Please ask the princess and the prince of Jin to save my wife and children."
He bent his knees and was about to kneel down, but Abu held him up in time. "Don't be like this. My sister and I will do our best to save him. Can you tell us what happened first?"
Emperor Pu insisted on kneeling because he felt that what he was about to say was too selfish.
But Abu wanted to marry Xing'er, so how could he let his future father-in-law kneel to him? During the stalemate, the eldest princess and Qian Miaomiao came running in after receiving the letter.
The Grand Princess said to Emperor Pu, "Brother Lou, you are frustrating the child. This is an emergency, let's talk about the matter first."
Then, without waiting for Emperor Pu to speak, he spoke first, "The Spirit Tribe discovered Empress Pu and captured her and several princes. They left a message for Qingyan and Abu to go, otherwise they would kill her and the princes."
This is why Emperor Pu found it difficult to speak.
He and Queen Pu had been married for decades, and he had heard countless times from Queen Pu how terrifying the spirits who could cast spells were.
Although my grandmother predicted that the world would be unified, the spirit race would be destroyed.
Now that the world has been unified, the prophecy about the demise of the elves will surely come true, but my grandmother's prophecy did not tell us what the price of the elves' demise would be.
What if something bad happens to Wei Qingyan and Prince Jin because of this...
He couldn't exchange their lives for the lives of his wife and children, but he also couldn't bear to watch his wife and children die. In this torture, he aged a lot.
Wei Qingyan and Abu had guessed the Spirit Tribe's proposal on their way here. Wei Qingyan said truthfully, "The Spirit Tribe's ultimate goal is my brother and me. Ultimately, the Queen and the princes have been implicated by us. Rescuing them is our responsibility."
"But you might lose your lives." Emperor Pu said guiltily, "The spirit race is not ordinary people."
Wei Qingyan smiled, "The grudge has arisen, and it must be resolved."
Even if she doesn't save Queen Pu and the others, doesn't she still have to go to the Spirit Tribe? If she doesn't go, will the Spirit Tribe let her and Abu go?
She turned to look at Ming Sang, "You see, Empress Pu and the others are innocent. If you are willing to lead us into the Holy Altar, and once the matter of the Spirit Clan is settled, I will allow you to live on the mainland.
If you don't want to, that's fine. The Holy Stone is in my two siblings' hands. The Spiritual Tribe may not be our match, but I will definitely be the first to take your life."
Since the spirits were waiting for them and their sister to go, they would definitely leave clues for them to find the place, but that would be too passive, and she thought it was too slow.
During the time Ming Sang was on the mainland, although Wei Qingyan restricted his magic, he did not treat him harshly. On the contrary, he lived a very comfortable life.
Aunt Liang, who took care of him, was also very good to him. He grew up with his father and grandfather and had never been cared for by a female figure. Therefore, although it was not difficult for him to choose between Aunt Liang's care and love, he did benefit from it.
Penglai Island is just an island after all, and it cannot compare to the rich life on the mainland. Mingsang has seen a lot here.
Hearing Wei Qingyan's question, he hesitated and said, "Are you going to kill all the spirits? Some of them are innocent."
In comparison, he does not reject the idea of living on the mainland in the future. He also wants to survive, but if the lives of his entire clan are exchanged for his own, even though he is afraid of death, he would not dare to be so shameless.
He himself didn't realize it yet, but he had no doubt that Wei Qingyan and his sister would win.
Wei Qingyan said, "I will only kill those who deserve to be killed. As for the innocent, I will use the same magic you use to imprison them, allowing them to become ordinary people again."
But if those people cannot accept it and no longer want to be ordinary people, then that is their own choice.
But Wei Qingyan could see that Ming Sang was happy about it.
The elves give birth to the next generation in a cold and cruel way, so they also raise the next generation in a cold and cruel way.
After hearing her words, Ming Sang pursed his lips for a long time and confirmed again, "You promised to spare my life."
It was his grandfather's own idea to ask Wei Qingyan and the others to go to the Spirit Clan. Ming Sang comforted himself in this way.
"Yes, as long as you cooperate with me, I will spare your life and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
As Wei Qingyan expected, Ming Sang agreed.
Afterwards, Wei Qingyan asked Pu Di and the others to act as anxious as before. She and Abu went straight to the Holy Altar from Mingsang, intending to find their master Mingwei first.
She said it lightly, but she didn't dare to be careless in her heart. The spirit race has existed for hundreds of years. Even if the holy stone is gone, those elders who have learned advanced magic will definitely not be easy to deal with.
Ming Sang is a young boy who has not yet become a director and does not know much about the spirit race, but his master is different and she has advanced magic to help them.
Of course, Wei Qingyan also thought about how to deal with the situation if his master did not cooperate.
But this is an adventure, a risk that must be taken.
Emperor Pu was also worried. "Is the princess okay? And they just said that they, the siblings, got the Holy Stone of the Spirit Clan. What's going on here?"
Xing'er then told Emperor Pu about the sacred stone.
After receiving the letter for help, Wei Qingyan and Abu told her everything about the spirit race. Now Xing'er told it to Emperor Pu, hoping to reassure him a little and to find a way to help Wei Qingyan and his sister.
"Father, the Queen Mother is a mermaid. My brothers and I are her children. Do we have any special qualities that could help my sisters and the others?"
The fifth prince also said, "My mother is extremely powerful, and my sister and Prince Jin are both extraordinary people. Could it be that we also have some extraordinary abilities?"
He also wanted to go to the spirit tribe to save his mother and brothers.
Emperor Pu looked at his two children who were looking at him eagerly, "If the mermaids had any great abilities, they wouldn't have been enslaved by the spirits for hundreds of years."
Seeing that both of them looked disappointed, he comforted his daughter and said, "When you turned into a mermaid, you were even more beautiful than you are now, especially with your golden tail."
Xing'er was not comforted at all, which meant that apart from being beautiful, she had no other abilities.
"What about me?" The fifth prince couldn't wait.
Emperor Pu said, "You brothers will be smarter and stronger than you are now."
The fifth prince never thought of himself as stupid, so Emperor Pu's words still made him feel disappointed.
"So all we can do is watch Sister and the others go to rescue Mother and there's nothing we can do?"
"No, we can gather our forces and head towards the Eldar."
Xing'er asked, "Father, you know the route to Penglai, right?"
Emperor Pu nodded, "But if the Spirits attack, these soldiers of Pu State will be no match for them and will lose their lives in vain."
Xing'er shook her head, "No, we are not going to war with them. We are going there to show our attitude and to deter them. Sister said that the spirits are not capable of doing whatever they want without restraint.
They only dared to capture the Queen Mother and the Emperor's brother, which shows that they dared not touch the lives of others at will."
The queen mother is a mermaid and a slave of the elves, and the emperor's brothers are descendants of mermaids and are also their slaves.
That's why they dare to deal with them at will, but the life and death of ordinary people are controlled by the underworld, the Hall of Yama.
Xing'er said in a deep voice, "Even if they really dare to do something reckless, they can hide the lives of my Pu country soldiers, and there are 200,000 soldiers brought by my brother-in-law behind them. They dare not."
Emperor Pu was so anxious that he lost his mind. After Xing'er reminded him, he quickly reacted and said, "Father, I will mobilize the troops immediately."
With a large army around, the spirits would have to be cautious no matter what they wanted to do to the princess and King Jin.
He just hoped that everything would go smoothly for the princess and the others.
As they had expected, Wei Qingyan followed Ming Sang to the Holy Altar of the Spirit Clan smoothly.
Although it was Ming Sang's first time to the mainland, life on Penglai Island was boring, and he loved to play, so he was already familiar with the area around Penglai Island. Therefore, he easily avoided everyone and reached the Holy Altar.
It is said to be a holy altar, but it is more like a cage. A skinny and hunched figure with long hair and hanging head is trapped in the center by four chains from the east, south, west and north.
Wei Qingyan stepped forward and called softly, "Master?"
Mingwei slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on Wei Qingyan's face. There was no sadness or joy on her face, but the words she said surprised Wei Qingyan.
