Chapter 70 Princess, you don’t want people to know that you are a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, right?

When Ji Changsheng said this, Ying Hongye was fine and only believed it halfway, but Cao Ziming’s expression suddenly changed.

The child believed it all.

Even simpler than Li Daoyan.

"Sheng Country is so chaotic?" Cao Ziming instantly felt a huge sense of crisis: "Junior Brother Ji, Junior Sister Ying, should we ask for help from our master?"

Ying Hongye reminded: "Fairy Linglong has issued a sword order, prohibiting cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage from entering Sheng Country. As for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage... I guess they are almost here, but they are not walking openly."

On the surface, in this world, the devil is always stronger than the Tao.

Disciples of major demonic sects like the Heavenly Demon Cult and the Huangquan Sect usually have to hide their identities when they are not on their own turf.

Therefore, the Crown Prince of Sheng State had never been exposed before.

But he's always been here.

Not revealing your identity openly and not being in this place are two completely different concepts.

Hearing Ying Hongye say this, Cao Ziming became even more stern.

“I didn’t expect Shengguo to be so dangerous.”

Ji Changsheng actually didn’t expect this either.

The main reason was that I met a disciple from the Huangquan Sect as soon as I arrived.

He is in the late Jindan stage and is obviously a genius who has been carefully cultivated in the Huangquan Sect.

This really exceeded all of their expectations.

However, Ji Changsheng took another look at the Crown Prince of Sheng, who was already very peaceful, and quickly regained his composure.

Not afraid.

The demon from Huangquan Sect has already died.

The leader of the Demonic Cult is my adoptive father.

The Saint of the Hehuan Sect is my strong support.

The Assassin's League is an organization I just joined.

What other demon cult monster could have a background greater than mine? Ji Changsheng calmed his mind, first helped Ying Hongye to sit on the seat, let Ying Hongye swallow the elixir to restore his vitality, and then said to Cao Ziming: "Brother Cao, it seems that I have to trouble you to make a handover with the Shengguo court. The prince of Shengguo turned out to be a disciple of Huangquan Sect. We in Xuandu Temple need Shengguo to give an explanation for this matter."

Cao Ziming nodded: "Leave this to me, Junior Brother Ji, take good care of Junior Sister Ying."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Cao."

Cao Ziming walked out of the Xuandu Temple’s Shengguo office carrying the “corpse” of the Shengguo prince.

Although they chopped off the crown prince of Sheng State, the Sheng State court was still in the wrong in this matter.

As long as there is actual evidence, the Sheng Kingdom court must give an explanation to Xuandu Temple.

Of course, even if there is no actual evidence, as long as Ji Changsheng is sure of the matter, the Sheng Kingdom court must give an explanation to Xuandu Temple.

The truth is not determined by evidence, but by fists.

After Cao Ziming left, Ji Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ying Hongye, "Okay, Hongye, stop pretending. Your complexion can be rosy again."

Ying Hongye's complexion indeed regained its rosy complexion at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The broken shoulder blade quickly recovered. After a moment, Ying Hongye waved his arm. Although he still felt some pain, it no longer affected his daily movements.

"How long will it take to fully recover?" Ji Changsheng asked with concern.

Ying Hongye thought for a moment and said, "About a week. Xuandu Temple has a lot of healing pills. Unless the injury is fatal, recovery is usually very fast."

If you encounter an injury like the one that caused the elder to break his arm, then the healing pills in Xuandu Temple will be useless.

However, the broken arm of the Sutra-Churching Elder was caused by the old demon Yu.

Although the Crown Prince of Sheng State could be regarded as the prodigy of the Huangquan Sect, he was still far from the level of Yu Lao Mo.

In addition, Ying Hongye was not the prince's main target of attack, so although Ying Hongye was knocked away in one move, his injuries were not as serious as imagined.

That is to deceive Cao Ziming.

Despite this, Ying Hongye still felt a lingering fear.

"Changsheng, Shengguo is more dangerous than you think."

Ji Changsheng nodded.

"But it's not that dangerous." Ji Changsheng said calmly: "As long as we are vigilant and take the initiative, the demons from the Demon Cult may not be able to react."

Just like this time.

The Crown Prince of Sheng State hid well.

But he was obviously stunned.

Ji Changsheng had completely calmed down at this time. He reviewed the whole incident and found that the Crown Prince of Sheng State definitely did not intend to turn against him at first, nor did he have the intention of killing him to silence him.

When two armies engage in battle, they always test the waters first and send out some soldiers to fight each other.

Neither army commander personally took part in the battle.

Who knew that Ji Changsheng would not play by the rules, and mainly because he didn't know the background of the Crown Prince of Sheng State, so he just overturned the table, and in the end everyone was caught off guard.

Facts have proved that the five words "strike first, gain the advantage" are truly a golden saying.

Ying Hongye knew Ji Changsheng well enough to guess other meanings from his words. She asked uncertainly, "Changsheng, you didn't realize that the Crown Prince of Sheng was a disciple of Huangquan Sect and just said it casually, did you? You were planning to arrest him first and then put the blame on him, but it happened by accident?"

Ji Changsheng was furious: "Hongye, am I this the kind of person you think I am?"

Ying Hongye was shocked: "It's true... The prince died unjustly."

Ji Changsheng: “…”

broken.

Ying Hongye's progress was beyond expectations.

I want to give it to my nephew.

Ji Changsheng decisively changed the subject: "Where is Daoyan? I didn't see him when I returned to the mountain this time."

Ying Hongye complained: "Don't change the subject... Forget it, the Crown Prince of Sheng is dead anyway. Li Daoyan was called back by the Li family. The troubled times are coming, and the Li family doesn't trust this idiot to hang around outside."

"Why don't you keep Li Daoyan in Xuandu Temple?" Ji Changsheng was a little surprised.

Ying Hongye shook his head and said, "Xuandu Temple is the center of this chaotic world, and there will definitely be a big storm in the future. My family asked me to go to Danqing Pavilion for exchanges and study, and also wanted me to avoid it. This matter involves the sky, and we are all coordinating and coordinating below, and even Xuandu Temple cannot be immune."

Ji Changsheng was inwardly awed: "Even with the Xuanhuang Merit Tower, it won't work?"

Ying Hongye continued to shake his head but said nothing.

With her level, she cannot make any comments about the Xuanhuang Merit Tower.

But it is obvious that once things involve the sky, the invincible defense of the Xuanhuang Merit Tower will lose its certainty.

After all, given the background of Xuandu Temple, anyone who dares to go against it naturally has their own trump cards.

Ji Changsheng immediately became serious: "It seems that I have to solve Shengguo's troubles quickly. I must accumulate merits and raise my realm to the Nascent Soul stage."

Otherwise it would be difficult for him to feel safe.

After all, Fairy Linglong only gave him a one-year buffer period.

Ji Changsheng set a small goal for himself:

In one year, make a final push... and ascend to the sky? Regardless of whether it can be achieved or not, we should always have dreams.

…

The news of the prince's death caused an uproar in the government and the country of Sheng.

But then the news that the prince was a disciple of the Huangquan Sect spread quickly, causing criticism from both the court and the public.

The evil sects are not necessarily hated by everyone.

The Hehuan Sect and the Assassin's League are also in the magic camp.

However, the monks of the Hehuan Sect are very popular in the world.

Many righteous disciples are very envious of the Hehuan Sect's disciples, and their first reaction when they meet them is rarely to shout for fighting and killing.

The power of lsp is infinite, regardless of gender.

The reputation of the Assassin's League is slightly worse than that of the Hehuan Sect, but it is actually not that disgusting.

Because the Assassin's League is different from other demonic sects. Although the Assassin's League is full of murderers, this sect does things for money.

As long as you can afford the price, the Assassin's League will dare to kill.

But as long as no one offers a price, the Assassin's League will not start a killing spree for no reason.

This mercenary-like organization is actually more like a neutral camp.

However, the purpose of the Assassin's League obviously does not conform to the definition of righteousness, and the fence-sitters can easily be killed first by both the righteous and the evil, so the Assassin's League decisively turned to the evil camp.

In fact, the major righteous sects are not keen on encircling and suppressing the Assassin's League.

The independent cultivators and even ordinary people in the world all hope that the Assassin's League can exist.

Because the Assassin's League exists, it seems to be beneficial to everyone.

This organization allows many people to spend money to do things that are inconvenient for them but they really want to do.

Including the leader of the Assassin's League, Jue Jianxian, one of the five greatest sword masters of the time, his position and identity have always been the focus of discussion among the world.

Among the most powerful people in the world, Emperor Huangquan and the Immortal Juejian are the two most mysterious.

Leaving aside the underworld people like Emperor Huangquan, there are countless rumors about the Absolute Sword Immortal in the world, and one of them is the most terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Rumor has it that there are only four great sword masters in the world.

The Supreme Sword Immortal is actually one of the four great sword immortals in disguise.

This rumor is unconfirmed, but has a wide market.

If this rumor is true, no one in the Assassin's League will move.

After all, the four great sword immortals other than the absolute sword immortal are all famous in the world, and they are all big bosses.

Even the fairy Linglong is among them.

Who dares to dance on a grave for no reason?

But of course there are also genuine evil cults.

The Tianmo Sect and the Huangquan Sect are the two demonic sects that cannot be eliminated.

The skills of the Demonic Cult are almost all based on killing, and the special effects of the skills are obvious at a glance. No one believes that they are the righteous ones.

The Huangquan Sect's skills were aimed directly at the three souls and seven spirits. Even every time one entered or left the Huangquan Sect, one had to contribute a soul. Such an underworld sect could not possibly have a good reputation.

It turned out that the Crown Prince of Sheng Kingdom was a disciple of Huangquan Sect, and the evidence was irrefutable. Cao Ziming, an exchange student of Xuandu Temple and Danqing Pavilion, found the hard evidence in the East Palace. For a while, everyone in the court and the country was in danger.

The entire Sheng Kingdom court seemed to be on the verge of a storm.

Princess Palace.

The eldest princess was dressed in tight clothes, sheathed her sword and exhaled, having just finished practicing a set of Danqing Pavilion outer sword techniques.

When the maid saw the princess finished practicing sword, she immediately reported the news about the prince to her.

After hearing this, the eldest princess's expression changed slightly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The prince is actually a disciple of Huangquan Sect? He hid it so well that I didn't even notice it all these years. Are you sure?"

The maid nodded, still with lingering fear in her tone: "I followed her to the East Palace. Senior Brother Cao of Danqing Pavilion personally checked and found that the Crown Princess's souls and spirits had mostly dispersed. She was completely controlled by the Crown Prince's magic. She was no different from a puppet. In addition, Senior Brother Cao found many magical instruments unique to Huangquan Sect disciples in the East Palace. They couldn't be fake."

The eldest princess was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and felt like she had been to hell.

"Your Highness, this is also a good thing for us."

The maid reminded him, "Now that the prince has been confirmed as a disciple of Huangquan Sect, your chance has come. Taiping Fudi has a chance to fall into your hands. As long as you operate well, with the opportunity of Taiping Fudi, you may even be made the crown princess."

The eldest princess' eyes lit up.

In a world where one can practice cultivation, gender is not that important. The most important thing is always strength.

As long as you are strong enough, whether you are a man or a woman, you can suppress others and make them unable to raise their heads.

For example, Fairy Linglong.

There is little sexism in this world, and strength is the biggest criterion.

The eldest princess has an advantage that other princes and princesses do not have: she is an outer disciple of Danqing Pavilion.

Because of this relationship, it is very easy for her to communicate with Cao Ziming and Ji Changsheng.

However, the eldest princess did not immediately ask for the Taiping blessed land.

"Please invite Mr. Lin here. I want to ask for advice."

"yes."

After a moment.

A scholar holding a feather fan appeared in front of the princess.

"Your Highness, Lin congratulates Your Highness."

The princess invited Mr. Lin to sit down, and after she had some tea, she asked, "Mr. Lin, what brings you joy?"

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "The Crown Prince's identity has been exposed, and the Eastern Palace is vacant immediately. The other princes and princesses will have an opportunity immediately. Whoever can properly handle the current situation will win the favor of His Majesty and smoothly enter the Eastern Palace. And Your Highness is the most suitable person to handle this matter. I believe His Majesty will think so, so Your Highness's opportunity to ascend to the sky will come soon."

The princess asked cautiously, "Sir, do you think this is a good opportunity?"

"Of course." Mr. Lin said firmly, "The prince's position was previously stable, and the other princes and princesses had no chance at all. And now, with the death of the prince, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Your Highness misses this opportunity, it will be difficult for you to ascend to the throne again in the future."

The princess did not get excited. She remained calm: "Sir, if you want to handle this incident well, you must handle the subsequent troubles of 'Taiping Fudi'. Regarding this matter, can Mr. Lin teach me?"

Mr. Lin pointed out: "Fudi is the most important source of treasury income for our Sheng country. It is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and even more to the connections behind the major Fudi merchants. Your Highness, as long as you stand with these Fudi merchants, they will be your biggest supporters. If all these people support you, then His Majesty will not be able to shake your position. As for the opinions of the people, you don't need to care about them. They can't decide anything."

The princess nodded slightly: "Of course, we don't need to care about the opinions of the people, but Ji Changsheng seems to want to do good deeds and rectify the business of Fudi. How should I deal with it?"

Mr. Lin laughed: "Ji Changsheng is daydreaming. Even among the major immortal sects, only Xuandu Temple can ignore the blessed land business. One of the biggest sources of income for other sects is the sale of blessed land. Your Highness, he wants to die, we can't follow him."

"Of course I won't follow Ji Changsheng in offending others, but Ji Changsheng is now the representative of Xuandu Temple after all. He didn't even give face to Fairy Linglong. If I don't give him an explanation on the matter of 'Taiping Fudi', will he give me this face?" The eldest princess said worriedly.

It has to be said that Ji Changsheng's image of being upright and righteous has been successfully established throughout the world.

No one doubted Ji Changsheng's just stance.

Neither the Princess nor Mr. Lin had any doubts.

But Mr. Lin didn't take it seriously.

"Your Highness, what if Ji Changsheng doesn't give you face? After all, he is a disciple of Xuandu Temple. We must follow evidence and rules when doing things. We cannot punish without teaching. To deal with such righteous disciples, as long as we do everything legally and reasonably within the procedures, they can't do anything to us even if they don't like it. Ji Changsheng attacked the prince because he was a disciple of Huangquan Sect. Your Highness, you are a disciple of Danqing Pavilion. Is it possible that Ji Changsheng will attack you? There is no need to worry at all."

After receiving Mr. Lin's advice, the eldest princess was completely relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

"Sir, you are right. I am an outer disciple of Danqing Pavilion and have nothing to do with the Demon Cult. As a disciple of Xuandu Temple, even if Ji Changsheng does not accept my treatment of the 'Taiping Blessed Land', it will not affect me. He will stay in Shengguo for a year at most, but those blessed land merchants have to stay in Shengguo forever. We really can't offend a local tiger for a dragon that has crossed the river."

"Your Highness is wise, but we still have to give face to Ji Changsheng. Your Highness can just pretend to be nice."

"Please give me some advice, sir."

"In fact, there is nothing new. Just use the most commonly used nonsense literature. You can come up with some content without any substance to appease the people and show your kindness. For example, reduce the proportion of spiritual stones they prepay for the first time from 30% to 20% or even 10%, to ensure that those people can afford to buy the blessed land, and then let them pay more interest to the bank later."

At this point, Mr. Lin laughed and said, "Anyway, the banks are all run by the imperial court, and Your Highness has a stake in them. Such a measure will benefit the country and the people, and Fudi Merchants will not suffer any loss. You can get more, so why not do it?"

"My sir is better than a hundred thousand soldiers!"

The eldest princess was sincerely convinced.

"Help me change my clothes. I need to go see my father."

Half a day later.

The eldest princess took over the "Taiping Paradise".

And he went to visit Ji Changsheng in person.

"Elder Ji, my father is very angry about the Crown Prince's matter and has ordered the Six Gates to conduct a thorough investigation. If we find any more disciples of the Huangquan Sect lurking in the court, we will not tolerate them."

The eldest princess' tone was very serious.

Ji Changsheng chuckled.

It was too formal for the Sheng Kingdom's court to order the Six Gates to investigate the Huangquan Sect.

Ji Changsheng absolutely believed that the Six Gates would not be able to find out anything.

But he was too lazy to pursue it.

This is not important.

He came to Sheng Country not to hunt down the disciples of Huangquan Sect, but to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

"Your Highness, Princess, please tell me about the 'Taiping Fudi'." Ji Changsheng went straight to the point: "I heard from Senior Brother Cao that after the Crown Prince's death, you will be responsible for handling the aftermath of the Taiping Fudi?"

"right."

The eldest princess nodded and explained, "My father entrusted this matter to me."

After a pause, the princess added her identity information very seriously: "I have joined Danqing Pavilion before. Although I was not able to enter the inner sect due to my talent, my father still trusts me and believes that I can reach a consensus with Senior Brother Cao and Elder Ji."

What this means is that we are family and can discuss things easily.

Ji Changsheng was very considerate and he had always been a very polite person.

"So, Your Highness is still a disciple of Danqing Pavilion. I am so sorry." Ji Changsheng sincerely got to know the princess again, and then returned to the topic: "I think that with the principles of Danqing Pavilion, Your Highness will definitely sympathize with the people and give them a fair explanation."

“It’s natural.”

The eldest princess accepted all of Ji Changsheng's praise.

"Elder Ji, I already know your idea and I have received your suggestion. If I understand correctly, you want the first batch of guests who bought Taiping Fudi to move back in, right?"

"Of course, this is the treatment they deserve." Ji Changsheng said, "I have restored the spiritual environment of Taiping Fudi. They spent money, so they should enjoy the corresponding services."

Although the price is still high, they basically buy it voluntarily when they first buy it.

Ji Changsheng took a step back and didn't pursue the past. He was satisfied as long as these people could live there peacefully.

Ji Changsheng felt that he was really too kind.

The eldest princess seemed to agree with Ji Changsheng's proposal.

"Elder Ji is kindhearted, and I admire him. I agree with what Elder Ji said. Since the first batch of guests of Taiping Fudi have already spent money, they should enjoy the spiritual environment of the Fudi."

A smile appeared on Ji Changsheng's face: "Your Highness is wise."

It seems that killing a chicken to scare the monkey is indeed useful.

Killing a prince will make the next person in charge much easier to talk to.

"What are the specific arrangements, Your Highness?" Ji Changsheng asked.

The princess said, "Just follow what Elder Ji said and let them use the price Sheng Taiping paid to buy back their blessed land as a prepayment of spirit stones, and they can directly buy back the original blessed land."

"etc."

The smile on Ji Changsheng's face disappeared instantly.

He grasped the point very keenly.

"Prepayment of spirit stones?"

The princess nodded and said, "Yes, these guests only need to use the repurchased spirit stones that Sheng Taiping gave them as prepaid spirit stones to buy them back. I will not charge them any extra spirit stones to avoid burdening them."

Ji Changsheng smiled: "You are a very nice person. Shouldn't they thank you?"

The princess said modestly: "It is all thanks to Elder Ji. I have only made a small contribution to help these guests reduce their burden."

"Your Highness, do you think what they lack is prepaid spirit stones?" Ji Changsheng asked.

The princess explained, "Elder Ji, perhaps you don't understand enough. In fact, our Sheng Kingdom is very humane. We allow guests who purchase blessed land to pay off all the outstanding debts within 60 years. And the interest rate is very low. This is a welfare specially formulated to take care of the people of Sheng Kingdom. In this way, these guests don't have much financial pressure, and they can successfully move into the blessed land they like. You have also successfully helped them. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Ji Changsheng asked seriously: "Your Highness, can we discuss this further?"

The princess nodded and said, "Of course, for Elder Ji's sake, I can allow these people to move into Taiping Blessed Land directly without paying the advance spiritual stones. As long as the interest is paid on time every month, the court will take it as a loss and make special arrangements for Elder Ji's sake."

Ji Changsheng looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I didn't want to expose your identity, but since you are shameless, don't blame me. Witch girl, you are clearly a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and you dare to tarnish the reputation of Danqing Pavilion. Senior Brother Cao, close the door and slay the demons!"
