Chapter 111 The Man Behind the Empress [Four in One, plus five or six extra chapters for monthly tickets!]
Night.
Xiao Bai used the remote sensing device to lock onto Feiyue while walking slowly on the busy street.
Previously, he had in his hand the 100,000 spirit stones given by the rich lady Feiyue, but he did not use them immediately to break through to the golden elixir stage.
This is based on the simplest principle: don't expose your strength too early, otherwise the enemy will really escalate!
Xuan Xiao had already proved this when he tested Yijianhu before the demon attacked Xueyan Sect.
However, now that he has passed the Heavenly Dao's self-examination and inner examination, he can upgrade openly.
If other foundation-building cultivators want to break through to the golden elixir stage, they must at least prepare a large amount of spirit stones, elixirs, magical instruments and spells to resist thunder tribulations or elixir leakage, find a safe and secluded cave, and have a master, a Taoist companion or a Taoist child to protect them, so that they can safely break through the tribulation.
For Xiao Bai, walking can lead to advancement.
[Ding——Congratulations to the host for absorbing the spiritual stone resources from the heroine Xiahou Feiyue, absorbing 100% of them into upgraded spiritual power! ]
[Ding——Congratulations to the host for reaching the initial stage of the Golden Core! ]
Sure enough, if one can achieve 100% absorption, the spiritual power of 100,000 spirit stones can impact the Golden Core Realm.
How does it feel to become a Jindan cultivator...
Compared to the peak of foundation building, there is nothing special feeling except that the spiritual pressure has suddenly increased ten times.
Generally speaking, within a major realm, the spiritual pressure doubles with each upgrade to a smaller realm.
The spiritual pressure at the peak of foundation building is about eight times that of the initial stage of foundation building.
When rising from the peak of foundation building to the early stage of golden elixir, the spiritual pressure will increase tenfold.
The spiritual pressure in the early stage of Golden Core is about eighty times that of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
This is just approximate data from statistics, and the specific data may vary from person to person.
The difference in spiritual pressure for the same person across a complete realm ranges from fifty times to a hundred times.
In short, it is still very difficult for ordinary monks to fight against opponents of higher levels.
After reaching a higher realm, in addition to the surge in spiritual pressure, the structure of the Dantian will also be upgraded.
For example, the Dantian of a mortal being in fetal breathing is probably similar to the placenta, without the sea of qi, and is filled with water.
The Dantian in the Qi Refining Realm is similar to an elastic bubble.
The Dantian in the Foundation Establishment Stage is similar to a stone house.
The Dantian in the Golden Elixir realm is similar to a golden hollow iron ball, so it is also called: Golden Elixir.
However, Xiao Bai's elixir wall was wrapped with a layer of golden Jiaodan elixir wall, and it looked like it had already been a golden elixir, so there was nothing special about it after the upgrade.
His Dantian defense power far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators! The biggest improvement is still spiritual pressure.
With the spiritual pressure of the Golden Core Realm, Xiao Bai felt that he could finally defeat all Yuanying Realm opponents! If he encountered Nanmen Sheng and two Yuanying Peak guards in a one-on-three situation, as long as the opponent could not break his defense, he could kill them in a one-on-three situation.
This is his little confidence as a Jindan cultivator.
When Xiao Bai arrived at Huaqing Palace leisurely, it was already flooded with blood.
Washed away by the blood of the prince and three thousand imperial guards.
Half an incense stick ago.
Crown Prince Xiahou Yuan led three thousand elite imperial guards to Huaqing Palace to capture Feiyue.
Originally, this was just a play to facilitate Feiyue's legal ascension to the throne.
As a result, the Crown Prince was instigated by the training resources promised by the Regent. As long as he captured Feiyue and gave up the throne to the Princess, Zhang Wenyin would recommend him to practice in the main academy.
As a result, outside and inside the Huaqing Palace, his three thousand imperial guards were shot into sieves by the flaming arrows that covered the sky and the sun.
Xiahou Yuan was also hit by several arrows and fell in a pool of blood outside Feiyue's bedroom.
The dantian of the Foundation Establishment Realm was pierced by an arrow, and his spiritual pressure dissipated. He relied on elixirs to maintain his last breath.
As he lay dying, the scene of him and Feiyue playing together in Huaqing Palace when they were little appeared in front of his eyes...
"Do you remember, when you were little, I bought you marshmallows and made them into pills, saying that I would take you to the Xueyan Sect to practice when you grew up... Why did it turn out like this?"
"You know, I don't want to train soldiers, nor do I want to be an emperor. I just want to practice in peace... I should have joined the sect a long time ago, but I covet the resources in the palace..."
In the bedroom, Feiyue was weaving clothes using a strangely shaped hand-made loom.
Her mind was entirely on her loom and clothes, and she was indifferent to her brother's death.
"Since ancient times, if a prince does not have the ability to become an emperor, he will die. As a prince, being weak means death. My brother should understand this truth."
"Father is old and failed to protect you. I could have protected you, but you chose to trust the Dao League."
Xiahou Yuan couldn't believe that these were the words spoken by his lovely and playful sister.
"I underestimated you. With a strong man protecting you, you are no longer the cute, playful, and weak sister."
An indifferent voice came from behind the pink window screen.
"Is there a possibility that I am just stronger?"
Xiahou Yuan accepted his fate, but he was still unwilling to give in.
What I am unwilling to accept is...
"I really want to see you one last time, to see what kind of emperor you have become..."
He stretched out his blood-stained limbs and tried to crawl forward from the pile of dead bodies, but he could not move forward at all.
At this time, Xiao Bai finally arrived at Huaqing Palace.
Although he saw the whole process remotely, he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing with his own eyes the tragic scene of 3,000 imperial soldiers bleeding like a river.
There were three thousand elite imperial guards, three hundred of whom were foundation-building cultivators, and the rest were Qi-refining cultivators. They were wearing yellow-grade armor, and they were all shot to death without even seeing the princess.
In the pool of blood and the pile of dead bodies in the yard, there was a man wearing a purple cloud dragon robe, who was not yet dead.
Xiao Bai walked over, squatted down, and seeing that he seemed to want to say something, he gave him another breath of spiritual energy.
"Are you the prince?"
Xiahou Yuan also recognized Xiao Bai at a glance. If it weren't for this kind of appearance, Feiyue would never have committed herself to a man.
"When we were little... every time Feiyue made a mistake, I was the one who begged for mercy in front of our father... The inspector will be here soon, take Feiyue away and fly away, Xiao Jianbu... you can't beat the Dao League."
When a man is about to die, his words are good, but they are like a leaf that blocks the view of the mountain. Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "Don't you understand? We have come to this point, and there is no place for us to stay below. If we want to survive, we have to pull down the people in higher positions."
Blood gushed out of his mouth and merged into the pool of blood of the three thousand imperial soldiers. Xiahou Yuan smiled desperately.
"It's death anyway..."
Xiao Bai didn't say anything more. He could have easily saved the tool prince.
Unfortunately, there is no light in this person's eyes anymore, so it would be a waste no matter how long he lives.
He then wiped out the prince's hollow eyes and euthanized him.
At this time, Feiyue slowly walked out of the bedroom carrying a strangely shaped, miniature sewing loom.
The galaxy in his eyes was bloodless, only reflecting the figure of the only man.
Xiao Bai looked at the princess.
She dressed more and more beautifully, became more and more elegant, and looked more and more like a princess.
But the afterglow and the blood in the background diluted the love in Xiao Bai's heart.
"You've killed too many people."
Feiyue threw herself into Xiao Bai's arms, still holding the sewing loom in her hands, and said coquettishly, "Who told them to disturb me while I was making clothes?"
Xiao Bai glanced at the sewing loom.
The shape is incredibly exquisite. It can weave cotton, linen and silk at the same time, skipping the weaving process and directly weaving the designed clothes according to the designed spiritual patterns.
"Why do princesses like making clothes?"
Xiao Bai hugged the princess and teased her deliberately.
Feiyue rolled her eyes at Xiao Bai, then broke free from his embrace. Facing a pool of three thousand blood, she said calmly, "If you don't fight your way out of a sea of blood and corpses, how can you keep your seat as emperor? The power gained through peaceful evolution will eventually be thrown away by peaceful evolution."
"When two armies are at war, your behavior of always killing only the leaders is boosting the morale of the enemy. Only an invincible person has the power to do this."
"Are you already invincible?"
Xiao Bai was speechless.
It has to be said that he was too naive when it came to political intrigue, or rather, he was too kind.
For some reason, the pool of blood of three thousand imperial guards shocked him far more than the bombing of three ancestors.
When the Demon Alliance attacked the Xueyan Sect, not many people died...
War is obviously a game between the strong, but it is always caused by the lives of the lower class.
Perhaps, only by mastering the game of power and intrigue, which is played by the strong, can Feiyue break out of limitations and create a better future for the people at the bottom of society.
Behind her is an entire underground city and a great and distant ideal.
If she shows any weakness, her ideals will be shattered and the people of the underground city will suffer.
She had no choice.
"The inspector is coming soon. What are you going to do?"
Xiao Bai reminded her.
Feiyue smiled, with stars rippling in her eyes.
"I guess if I marry the inspector, I can ascend the throne, but unfortunately this dress is too small and doesn't suit his figure. It only suits you..."
"You're such a joker."
Xiao Bai then looked at Feiyue's almost flawless princess face again. She had the temperament of a lady from a noble family and a beautiful girl from a small family. She was clear-headed, delicate, bright and attractive. With just a little bit of makeup, she was so beautiful that she could be so stunning as to captivate fish and geese alike.
A beauty that even the night cannot conceal.
Feiyue felt embarrassed when Xiao Bai looked at her, and her expression relaxed, returning to her playful and cheerful self again.
"Haha, don't be afraid. If he's too strong, I'll kill him myself."
Xiao Bai was shocked.
"Can you kill him?"
Feiyue nodded.
"My killing of my brother is an internal affair of the imperial court. Only my father and the regent have the right to arrest me and interrogate me."
"Father will not do that. The Regent is afraid of you and Sister Fox, so he doesn't dare to do that."
"Therefore, the inspector came here without a legitimate reason. As long as there is no legitimate reason, I can kill him."
Xiao Bai thought, I'm asking you whether you can kill him physically, not politically.
If Feiyue could kill the Nascent Soul cultivator alone, wouldn't it be a waste for him to be a hero and save the beauty?
"Farewell, if you really want to fight, let me do it. How can an empress kill everyone by herself? How does that saying go... Behind every empress who successfully ascends the throne, there is a powerful man who silently gives in."
…
After a while, Nanmen Sheng arrived as expected.
Just as Feiyue predicted, Regent Zhang Wenyin still did not dare to show up.
Nanmen Sheng blocked the spiritual pressure records of Chaoge City's defensive formation in advance and only brought two guards with him who were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. All outsiders around were cleared out.
Even so, Nanmen Sheng was still shocked when he saw the mountains of corpses and sea of blood of the 3,000 imperial guards.
Two black-clad guards were stationed at the northeast and southwest corners of the roof of Huaqing Palace.
Nanmen Sheng arrived above the main gate and saw corpses and pools of blood all over the garden. The corpses did not fall to the ground but were suspended in the air, overlooking Xiao Bai and Feiyue.
"Xiao Jianpo, the Dao Alliance cannot interfere in the internal affairs of its members at will. As a Jianpo, why did you kill the crown prince?"
Xiao Bai looked up and saw that the Inspector was tall and fat, hanging in the air at night, blocking out too much of the starlight.
He looked up with a smile and spread his hands.
"Speaking of which, the inspector may not believe me, I just got here too."
On the side, Feiyue said to the guest, "My brother, before he died, gave the throne to me. Since the Dao League does not interfere in the internal affairs of its members, the Inspector General should go back."
A Nascent Soul Realm spiritual pressure exploded instantly, covering the entire Huaqing Palace.
Nanmen Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his huge belly bulging, and looked down at the corpses of the imperial guards.
Looking closely, most of them were pierced by arrows, blown to death, burned to death... it really wasn't Xiao Bai's fault.
"It seems that this inspector has underestimated the princess."
Then, he took out an official document and unfolded it to Xiao Bai and the others.
"Although in times of chaos, the strong will be king, but unfortunately, this is the abdication letter written by the crown prince himself and stamped by the regent, giving the throne to the eldest princess."
Xiao Bai thought, it's late at night, there's only a little starlight and moonlight in the palace, you're so far away, how could anyone see the contents of the document? Feiyue just said:
"Shouldn't the Regent be the one to talk to me about this? The Inspector is supposed to be inspecting and supervising the internal affairs of the Dao League, so why would he be involved in such a trivial matter at the court?"
Nanmen Sheng put away the document, snorted coldly, and said in a slightly ambiguous tone:
"Of course the inspector does not care about the fight for the throne. This is just a personal interest of mine."
"I heard that the princess not only wants to ascend the throne, but also has some special things to do. If it's interesting, this inspector can consider funding you."
Feiyue shook her head, her tone was very cold:
“I’m afraid what I do isn’t very interesting.”
"Things are boring, but people can be interesting."
Nanmen Sheng's tone suddenly changed, and he said gently and ambiguously: "If the princess is willing to marry this inspector and become the nineteenth Taoist companion, as long as the princess's career does not go beyond the Cambrian Kingdom, I guarantee that they will be safe."
Feiyue was stunned. She didn't expect that the Inspector would say such shameless words in front of Xiao Baimian.
"It still cannot be limited to the Cambrian Kingdom. It seems that the power of the inspector is also very limited... Sorry, I like men with slim figures, such as Xiao Jianbo."
As she said this, she put her arm around Xiao Bai's arm again, looking like a little bird that is unafraid of power.
Xiao Bai remained calm.
Nanmen Sheng was turned away and was shown affection in front of him, which made him a little annoyed, so he said to Xiao Bai: "Captain Xiao, I suspect Princess Feiyue is doing something that is detrimental to the Dao League. I order you to arrest her immediately and send her to the Inspection Room of the Dao Palace. I want to interrogate her personally!"
Xiao Bai shrugged and said with a smile, "You are so foolish, Inspector General! You underestimate the danger level of the princess. Let me handle the investigation of women... You will get yourself killed."
Nanmen Sheng felt looked down upon.
"Is Inspector Xiao disobeying orders?"
As he spoke, the breath suddenly turned cold, and spiritual pressure surged, causing a strong wind to blow, making his clothes rustle, and the blood pool rose up in waves.
Xiao Bai still used the power of the second-order resonance to hide his own Jindan cultivation, and easily withstood the Yuanying spiritual pressure with only his foundation-building cultivation.
He stood still like a mountain and said coldly:
"The order I received was to investigate the princess. Only the Chief Constable of the Prison can modify the order."
"Sir, you should first do some ideological work on Lord Xuanyuan. Maybe then you will be able to calm down and not be fooled by the princess."
"If you rely on your Nascent Soul cultivation to force yourself against me, you will die, Inspector."
Nanmen Sheng thought he had heard something wrong.
He was actually threatened by a young foundation-building cultivator.
He, a Nascent Soul cultivator, an inspector of the Dao Alliance, and a descendant of one of the eight great families, was threatened by a young man who looked as handsome as a vase.
Besides being angry, he also felt that something was not right.
Could it be that Yijianhu was lying in ambush nearby? It might be wiser to find Xuanyuan Ji and Zhang Wenyin and take Xiao Bai and Feiyue through formal channels.
Thinking of this, Nanmen Sheng restrained his breath, signaled the two guards to retreat, turned around and said:
"Remember what you said tonight, Captain Xiao."
After saying this, he disappeared into the night sky.
Only Xiao Bai was left with a confused look on his face.
It was like a brainless and reckless person suddenly stepped on the brakes. Was he trying to test him on purpose?
Before Nanmen Sheng had gone far, Feiyue immediately said in a delicate voice: "Huh, you are really amazing. You actually scared off the inspector... Speaking of which, we should run away."
Xiao Bai was confused.
You are making trouble...
really!
Nanmen Sheng, who had not yet walked far away, heard the voice and his momentum suddenly soared.
He was unhappy when he left.
He was either scared away by Xiao Bai or provoked by the woman, neither of which was tolerable!
In a rage, Nanmen Sheng directly drove the fiery red giant baby elephant, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
He turned around and pounced on Xiao Bai!
"Die for me!"
Nanmen Sheng was already a majestic beast, and with the infant elephant in his body he became even bigger. When he swooped down from the night sky, it looked like a falling meteorite.
Feiyue was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Even though he knew she was pretending, Xiao Bai still had to be a hero and save the beauty.
He shook his feet and flew into the air.
Pulling out the 卍灵剑, with the power of the second-order resonance, mixed the spiritual power and demonic energy of the initial stage of the golden elixir, he instantly unleashed a more powerful -
Second level red lotus!
The strange lotus-like spiritual pressure instantly enveloped the infant elephant, forcibly solidifying Nanmen Sheng's towering body.
A blood mist exploded at his waist, and a brilliant flower blossomed...
Blood lotus.
Nanmen Sheng's expression froze, and he looked down at his abdomen in confusion.
His bloated waist was broken and almost torn.
A crack even appeared on his Nascent Soul.
Xiao Bai thought that one blow would be enough to take his life.
Although he had clearly used the power of the golden elixir, the second-level red lotus, Nanmen Sheng ended up suffering less injuries than Lin Xizi.
His giant baby elephant was just shaking violently, but it hadn't dissipated yet...
After a closer look, it was discovered that Nanmen Sheng's protective belt was actually an earth-level defensive magic weapon, forming a pill-protecting formation close to the spirit-level outside his dantian.
If Honglian hadn't destroyed him from the inside, Xiao Bai wouldn't even be able to break his defense.
The next moment.
Two spiritual pressures at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, like two long ropes, instantly bound Xiao Bai's body.
Xiao Bai's body shook, he broke free, flew into the air, and entered the infant elephant of Nanmen Sheng.
He pinched his big head with his bare hands.
"I am so angry for my beloved... I underestimated the extent of the inspector's lust, and I overestimated the wisdom of the children of the noble family."
After saying that, snap——
He crushed Nanmen Sheng's big head with his bare hands and activated the Flower of Darkness at the same time.
The pitch-black flower vines instantly extended to his internal organs, limbs and bones, and entangled Nanmen Sheng's Nascent Soul.
After all, the scene of Qi Shan turning around and running away was still vivid in his mind, and he wanted to see the Buddha off to the west! As expected, the headless Nanmen Sheng not only maintained the baby elephant, but could even speak——
"You beast, the Nanmen family will make you live a life worse than death. You will regret coming into this world!"
Xiao Bai didn't know where the voice came from, and was about to reach out and grab his Nascent Soul.
At this moment!
Two black-clad guards flashed over and transformed into two black flame baby elephants. At the same time, they slapped Xiao Bai from two opposite directions.
With one move of "double ghosts knocking on the door", the spiritual pressure of the two infant elephants at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage suddenly increased to a level close to the Spirit Severing stage.
In order not to let Nanmen Sheng go, Xiao Bai took the palm strike head-on, vomiting blood and almost fainting.
I have to say, this attack was too fierce...
The typical example of a ruthless person who doesn't talk much. The combined strength of the two guards is a hundred times stronger than Nanmen Sheng! If he hadn't instantly used the second-order resonance spiritual pressure to dissipate 90% of the spiritual pressure, and the Jiaodan Danbi took on 90% of the remaining 10%, he might have been hit to death.
Seeing that the two guards Chen Nan and Chen Bei had the upper hand, Wu Du Nan Men Sheng prepared to take the opportunity to escape. Before leaving, he said: "Don't kill him, the two of you. When I regain my physical body, I will make him wish he were dead!"
After he finished speaking, Nanmen Sheng's headless body was compressed into a ball of flesh by the infant elephant to protect the Nascent Soul.
The meatball twisted into a spiral shape, trying to escape! At this moment, a big hand followed the dark flower vine and reached into the twisted space.
Just a moment——
Resonance of soul and spirit!
Spiritual resonance!
Space resonance!
After a moment of shock, Nanmen Sheng's Nascent Soul was frightened and unable to move.
Immediately, the spiritual power went out of control, followed by the space shaking, and the entire meat ball was forcibly pulled out of the space vortex by Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai resisted the attack from two black flame infant elephants, his face pale and cold-blooded.
He held Nanmen Sheng's big meat ball in his right hand, and inserted his five fingertips into the crack of his Nascent Soul opened by the sword red lotus.
Before killing someone, he likes to destroy their heart.
"Fool, you wanted two guards to kill me just now. Do I still have a chance to kill you?"
"you--"
Nanmen Shengdan was shocked as if he saw a huge wave and a god or devil descending to the world, and immediately changed his words: "Don't kill me, status, spirit stones, women, whatever you want, my Nanmen family will give you!"
Xiao Bai was stunned. He didn't know how he could say so many words in the last breath before his death...
Before he could finish his words, Nanmen Sheng's Nascent Soul had been crushed by a terrifying resonant force.
Boom! The huge impact of the Yuanying explosion just happened to offset the third double ghost knock of the two guards.
Xiao Bai took the opportunity to jump onto the roof of Huaqing Palace and said to the two black flame infant elephants standing at the diagonal corners of the roof.
"You can go back and report now. Just say that the Son of Destiny, Xiao Bai, killed Nanmen Sheng."
The four eyes of the two black flame infant elephants turned blood red, and the black flames went berserk again, soaring into the sky, becoming so violent that it was almost out of control.
The boiling baby elephant turned the entire Huaqing Palace upside down.
Only then did Xiao Bai realize that the two infant elephants seemed to be controlled by some special restriction.
No wonder the two are so powerful but their killing tactics are a bit rigid.
Xiao Bai looked into the four eyes of the baby elephant and expanded his spirit.
"Soul resonance!"
Instantly, the bloodshot eyes of the two guards faded.
The mental imprint of their absolute loyalty to the Nanmen family and their vow to defend Nanmen Sheng to the death was broken.
The two of them were suddenly a little confused and looked at Xiao Bai.
No matter how you look at it, this person seems too dangerous.
With only the cultivation base of the early Jindan stage, Xiao Bai resisted the two Nascent Soul peak infant elephants and bloodily slaughtered Nanmen Sheng. Afterwards, he also cancelled the blood contract between the two and the Nanmen family...
This is the symbol of the Son of Destiny!
If a real fight broke out, it would be disastrous. Thinking of this, the two of them did not linger any longer and left Chaoge City in a flash.
I should go back to the Nanmen family to report first... No, I should escape first.
Xiao Bai letting the two guards go was not really merciful.
After all, he was injured and it was a bit difficult for him to deal with two people at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
We can win, but it will be a pyrrhic victory in the end. It won't be good to be underestimated by Feiyue.
…
In this battle, the palace was almost overturned.
Countless princes, nobles, eunuchs and palace maids hid in the basement and trembled.
Even Emperor Xiahou Jing was no exception.
As a result, from beginning to end, the city defense formation of Chaoge City did not respond at all.
Naturally, no one in the palace dared to speak out.
Feiyue crawled out from the ruins of Huaqing Palace.
He stared at Xiao Bai in surprise, then looked at the Huaqing Palace which had become a ruin.
Her pale face looked frightened, but her eyes remained calm as always. She only sighed, "It seems like things have gotten out of hand."
Xiao Bai thought, killing the Dao League inspector is indeed a big deal, but wasn't it you who provoked him? Thinking of this, he spread his hands and said, "You also saw that I was acting in self-defense."
"Of course I did."
Feiyue took out a piece of obsidian with a smile.
"I have all the evidence here."
"From the Fourth Brother, to the Crown Prince, to Lord Nanmen, they all wanted to punish me privately, which undoubtedly violated the Tianyuan Dao Law."
"I will publish this evidence. The Dao League has no right to judge me. The most they can do is assassinate me. If I die one day, it will be the Dao League who assassinated me!"
Feiyue said in a loud voice.
You are really amazing...
Xiao Bai was full of admiration.
This woman's ideals are great, but her scheming and political tactics are also unique.
"Is this your plan to ascend the throne by force?"
Feiyue pursed her lips and shook her head, and said in a slightly naughty voice: "Your appearance delayed my enthronement for half a month, and even attracted the inspector...so you have to marry me to compensate me."
Xiao Bai was speechless and wished he could get her on board right away and give her a good beating.
Unexpectedly, Feiyue took out a black sleeveless tights.
"See if this dress fits me. This is my first time knitting."
Xiao Bai took a look and saw that it was a very tightly woven vest, like some kind of bulletproof vest.
The material is similar to a mixture of spider silk and some kind of metal. It is incredibly strong and can also isolate spiritual pressure.
Without saying a word, he put the clothes into the ring.
"It's very beautiful, but we won't try it now. We will study it carefully on the night of your coronation."
"good."
That night, Xiao Bai and Fei Yuehui were sweating profusely.
It took a whole night, and eunuchs and palace maids were called in, and all kinds of magical instruments and spells were used to rebuild the Huaqing Palace.
…
The next day, the government and the public were shocked.
Regent Zhang Wenyin resigned due to illness and took his family back to Tianyuan City overnight.
Princess Feiyue announced to the Taoist Alliance, her father, and all the civil and military officials the recorded stone evidence of her continuous persecution by the Fourth Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Inspector.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Xiahou Jing announced his early abdication and passed the throne to Princess Feiyue.
Feiyue took over 100,000 imperial guards.
The Regent's Office had to acknowledge Feiyue's throne.
Feiyue announced that Xiao Bai would be made emperor, and the coronation ceremony would be held in the Golden Palace in two days.
Xiao Bai didn't look for Yijianhu, but ran to Jiandao Palace alone to report.
It was as if a god or devil had entered the Jiandao Palace. Almost no one dared to look at him directly, or speak to him.
Xuanyuan Ji took him to the top of Huangyan Mountain.
The top of the mountain is bare and there is no scenery.
There is only a small pond under the pine trees.
A white-haired old man sat cross-legged by the pond, holding a sword, fishing seriously.
There is a cliff.
Seeing Xiao Bai coming, he said without even raising his head:
"Can you fish?"
Xuanyuan Ji had a blank expression on his face. He shook his head and left the top of the mountain.
Xiao Bai said frankly:
"I used to be good at fishing, but since I started practicing, I haven't caught a single fish."
Of course, he wasn't that frank.
Before he started practicing, he seldom caught fish. If it weren't for the mismatch of military branches in the Imperial Guard, he would have almost joined the army.
Youyazi's sitting posture was like that of an immortal, and he had the aura of an accomplished Taoist master. His words were also very mysterious: "There is only one fish in this pond. I let it go, then fished it again after years of trying to catch it. It's almost become a fish spirit. You can get a random pole and try to catch it."
Xiao Bai took out his royal fishing rod in seconds and sat cross-legged opposite the pond.
Youyazi's eyes lit up and he suddenly became excited.
Seeing that Xiao Bai's fishing rod was straight, as if it had never been under any pressure, he felt a rare sense of superiority.
A thousand words came to his mind, but he felt it was inappropriate to say anything, so he started talking about business first.
"You killed Nanmen Sheng. Princess Feiyue holds the evidence and the moral principles. Although the Dao Alliance will not punish you on the surface, the Nanmen family will definitely retaliate against you secretly... I hope you are not acting on impulse."
Impulsive? Xiao Bai didn't understand what he meant, and shrugged, "Isn't it just the Inspector's impulse? I had already persuaded him to leave, but he was provoked by a woman's words and I even let his two guards go."
You Yazi stroked his white beard and said:
"I mean, your partnership with the princess wasn't just a spur of the moment thing."
"oh……"
Xiao Bai understood that this old man also knew about Feiyue’s problem.
"I like beautiful women, but I still understand morality. I will continue to watch her, support her when I should, and oppose her when I should."
You Yazi nodded slightly and said with satisfaction:
"That's good."
Xiao Bai understood that this old man was not a staunch supporter of the Dao League. He refused to engage in involution and started with himself.
He only hopes that he can stick to his principles when getting along with Feiyue. This principle may not be the law of Tianyuan Dao, but the code of conduct in his heart.
The two of them ended their business...with just a few words.
What followed was a long period of silence and peace.
Calm air.
Calm water surface.
Calm float.
They both felt a little embarrassed after not catching any fish for a long time.
Youyazi finally opened the fisherman's mouth.
"The mistake we cultivators make when fishing is that we care too much about our reputation and are always unwilling to use our spiritual power to fish. Wouldn't we be fools if we don't use our spiritual power? If we use our spiritual power, everything will become simple."
From what Xiao Bai heard, it seemed that you didn't catch the fish and release them, but caught them and released them, and released them and caught them.
Not being able to catch any fish, feeling helpless and furious, and torturing your opponent are all examples of this.
"Yes, it's easy even without using spiritual power. Just drain the water and catch the fish."
Xiao Bai said sarcastically.
This statement made Youyazi suddenly question the meaning of fishing.
Being confronted by the junior, he couldn't save face and didn't use his spiritual power to fish.
He stroked his white beard and said calmly with an air of immortality:
"Yes, fishing is to cultivate one's character, and perhaps one can gain enlightenment about the great principles of heaven and earth."
Xiao Bai nodded.
"Well, that can only be achieved if you become one with the world and have fun with the fish."
There was a faint smell of tension, and both of them seemed to want to catch the fish.
You Yazi acted like a sage, shaking his head and pondering, "Use the heaven and earth as chess pieces, and the pond as eyes. Let the bait become a beam of dazzling light to attract all living things."
When it comes to theoretical knowledge of fishing, Xiao Bai is not to be outdone, and said calmly: "Life is like a line. What matters is not the length, but the hook. Some hooks are extremely sharp, some are as rough as a shovel, and some people fish with straight hooks..."
So, two days passed.
The fishing theories spoken by the two of them combined are enough to fill a bookshelf.
The fish still didn't take the bait.
…
Xueyan Sect.
On the northern cliff of Baicao Peak, on the bluestone covered with moss.
Mu Yun, dressed in a light green shirt, opened the spiral black mist.
"Your Excellency."
The majestic, cold voice of the queen slowly drifted over.
"Although you are gifted, I didn't expect you to achieve Dan so quickly."
Mu Yun blushed instantly.
"Yun, Yun'er, this is luck."
After forming the elixir, her skin became more delicate and smooth, and her features became slightly more feminine. Even a fool would know what was going on.
The Lord just said calmly:
"Having two days off a week is not considered luck. Besides, you have helped that man a lot... Now it seems that his potential is far beyond my expectations. Maybe he is really the child of destiny. Who knows?"
There is a legend among the people that from the Tianyuan era to the present, under the continuous suppression of the Taoist Alliance, countless monster and demon forces have been destroyed and disappeared one after another. However, the Monster Alliance and the five major demon sects have been able to survive to this day because each of them has a son of destiny in charge.
Thinking of this, Mu Yun couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"It's a pity that Yun'er is incompetent and can't make him become a demon."
The Lord said softly, "It's not your fault. His style of doing things is quite different from that of the Sword Fox. He seems to be principled, but in fact he has a strong devilish nature. As long as he doesn't go along with the Dao Alliance and doesn't become a devil, what does it matter?"
Mu Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "The Dao Alliance openly supports Feiyue's ascension to the throne. Chaoge City may undergo changes in the future. Do I have any new tasks?"
The Lord said: "Fei Yue's methods are quite cunning, and his goals are too idealistic. Even if he becomes the emperor, he may not be able to fulfill his previous verbal promise to the demons. You still need to watch him carefully."
"yes."
"The Nanmen family is not an ordinary family. There may be unrest in Chaoge City in the next period of time. Especially you who are with Xiao Bai, please pay attention to your safety."
Mu Yun felt the warmth and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and nodded vigorously.
"Um."
