He had practiced martial arts since childhood and was highly skilled, but he was still young and his internal strength was not particularly profound.
That bird spirit was a demon, naturally strong, and the force with which it fell from the sky was terrifying.
When Qi Chengshuo used all his strength to kick out, he clearly felt a heat in his chest and his whole body was instantly filled with power. The bird spirit was kicked away by him.
"It seems you are also a person born with superhuman strength!" Zhengzheng quickly said.
"It is said that human potential is limitless, especially when facing danger, the power that is unleashed is definitely stronger than usual," Ye Xianya said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengshuo subconsciously touched his chest.
Actually, he was not in good health when he was young, just like his father.
When he was three years old, he fell seriously ill. He had a high fever for several days and his whole body was burning hot. Even the imperial physician said that he would surely die. But he survived. From then on, he seemed to have all his illnesses gone and became as strong as an ox. To this day, he has hardly been sick again.
Occasionally, I might have a headache or fever, but I don't need to take any medicine; it will be fine in half a day.
He started learning martial arts at the age of five. When he went to the battlefield for the first time to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen, he felt his blood boiling and his chest burning. Then... he felt that his strength and internal energy had increased a lot.
When he encountered Ye Xianya in Liuhe Town before, he felt a burning sensation in his chest when the bronze mask caught fire, but it dissipated after a while and was not noticeable. It did not increase his strength that time.
But today, he felt it again.
"Xianya, I was really anxious just now. I was afraid that the bird spirit's corpse would fall into the houses and hurt the people, so I kicked it with all my might. Because there were many people in the alley, I couldn't hurt them. I thought I had to kick it as far away as possible. As a result, I felt a burning sensation in my chest, and my whole body seemed to be filled with power. I kicked the bird spirit far away." Qi Chengshuo told Ye Xianya about this.
Didn't this little girl say she received guidance from an immortal?
She knew everything about the Taiyi Sect, and perhaps she could even help him understand the strange phenomena that were appearing on his body.
"My chest feels burning, and my whole body is suddenly filled with power!" Ye Xianya was taken aback upon hearing this, and then asked, "Has that sudden power dissipated now?"
"No!" Qi Chengshuo shook his head: "It's still inside me, and my strength is at least several times greater than before."
Ye Xianya couldn't help but widen her eyes. No wonder he had kicked that bird spirit so lightly just now.
"Is this the first time you've encountered this situation, or have you encountered it several times before?" Ye Xianya asked quickly.
"When I was three years old, I had a high fever that wouldn't go down. My whole body was burning hot. It dragged on for several days. The imperial physician said I was going to die and told my grandfather to send someone to prepare for my funeral. But I survived. From then on, it was as if all my illnesses disappeared. I became very strong and was born with a talent for martial arts..." Qi Chengshuo didn't hide anything and told Ye Xianya about the several strange phenomena he had encountered since he was a child.
“There’s something really wrong with your situation, but I did a divination for you before, and you’re just an ordinary mortal!” After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she looked at Qi Chengshuo carefully and used divination to help him make a prediction, but some of the future scenes were blurry.
Ye Xianya was somewhat skeptical and quickly used her mystical arts to enhance her vision. This time, she was finally able to see a little bit, but only a little bit.
"Strange... I can't seem to predict your future anymore?" Ye Xianya couldn't help but frown.
"What did you do for me?" Qi Chengshuo asked curiously. "Was it to predict my marriage prospects?"
Ye Xianya rolled her eyes at him, somewhat annoyed: "How much do you want to get married? Why would I calculate your marriage for no reason? I'm calculating your lifespan. I'm always accurate when it comes to calculating lifespans for others, but you... I can't see your future, nor can I predict the end of your life..."
"So... is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Qi Chengshuo asked hurriedly.
“It could be a good thing, or it could be a bad thing.” After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she stared at him for a moment: “You only feel a burning sensation in your chest when you are in danger or under high stress.”
After pondering for a moment, Ye Xianya said, "Perhaps it would be like this if there were external forces intruding. Don't worry, let's have dinner and go back, and I'll take a look for you."
"Okay." Qi Chengshuo nodded quickly.
"I'm hungry, let's go quickly." Ye Xianya said, patting Zhengzheng's head: "Come on, get on my shoulder."
"Okay." Zhengzheng nodded obediently, quickly shrank, and flew onto Ye Xianya's shoulder.
Amidst the somewhat frightened gazes of the onlookers, Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo left with Zhengzheng.
Even the city guards and Jinwu Guard generals who had already arrived obediently stepped aside, not daring to stop them.
Only Pei Junqi secretly followed them.
News of the great battle that took place in the air quickly spread throughout the capital.
Meanwhile, in Fenghe Palace, Consort Yi learned that her right-hand woman, Jin Sui, was seriously injured, and her face turned very pale.
"Where is he?" Consort Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, he is lying in his room!" a palace maid hurriedly replied.
Upon hearing this, Consort Yi quickly pushed aside the people around her and went to Jin Sui's residence.
When the bird spirit fell to the ground, Jin Sui escaped, but she was injured by Ye Xianya using her copper coin magic weapon and is still coughing up blood.
"Your Majesty!" Upon seeing Consort Yi arrive, Jin Sui struggled to sit up.
"Lie down quickly!" Consort Yi hurriedly pressed her down, asking anxiously, "What happened? Who hurt you?"
Jin Sui was her dowry. She was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also a cultivator. In Consort Yi's opinion, apart from the leaders of the ten major Taoist sects, no one else had the ability to injure Jin Sui like this.
"Your Majesty, this servant discovered the coded message and knew that the Emperor had sent someone to deliver a message to you again. So I went out to search for it, only to find that the bird spirit sent by the Emperor was actually trapped. This servant quickly went to help, but... this servant and the bird spirit were no match for them. The letter that the bird spirit delivered was taken away, and the bird spirit was also killed. Only this servant escaped," Jin Sui said in a trembling voice.
The emperor she was referring to was not the one living in the palace, but the emperor of their Jiyuan Kingdom, the elder brother of his empress.
"What!" Consort Yi was utterly shocked upon hearing this. After a moment, she asked, "Who? Who killed the bird spirit and injured you?"
"Your Majesty, it was a young girl and a golden eagle, a spirit beast. I also saw the Prince Duan's heir," Jin Sui quickly replied.
The news that Ye Xianya was telling fortunes at Taoyuan Residence and that she had a spirit beast by her side had spread throughout the capital a few days ago, and even Consort Yi in the palace had heard about it.
Jin Sui was sent out on business by Consort Yi and only returned yesterday, so she did not know Ye Xianya's identity.
